Chapter 328 The Badge is in Lu Jingxiao's Hands
What's the meaning?
The old patriarch looked at Chris in horror: "What do you mean? The patriarch's badge is in your hands?"
Thinking of this possibility, the old patriarch became even more dissatisfied with Chris: "Chris, even if you are the young master, you have no right to touch the patriarch's badge, do you understand!"
"Hand it over to me right now, or... don't blame me for being rude."
Even if you are my grandson, it's still not allowed.
He wouldn't let anyone who touched the clan leader's badge go unpunished.
Whoever it is.
Chris chuckled and spread his hands: "Who said I had the chieftain's badge? I didn't say that."
"But... are you sure you'll listen to whoever has the clan chief's badge?"
I'll ask you one more time, you guys... you'd better answer carefully.
Don't let me down, otherwise... you'll be the ones who suffer.
[Naturally, I'll follow whose orders are based on where the clan leader's insignia is.]
The patriarch's crest is the symbol of the family; naturally, whoever holds the crest is the one who commands.
The old patriarch, however, felt it wasn't that simple. He looked at Chris suspiciously and said, "Tell me clearly, who exactly has the badge?"
Ming Si also had an arrogant look on his face: "Whoever has the badge naturally has the final say. This is a rule that the Chris family has followed for a hundred years, and no one is allowed to change it."
He sneered at Chris: "Even if you are the young master, without the clan leader's badge, we won't listen to what you say, understand?"
I understand, of course I understand.
We've been waiting for you to say these things, how could we not understand?
Only the old patriarch remained clear-headed; he always felt that Chris was setting a trap for them, and that things were definitely not that simple.
"Chris, I am the head of the Chris family, and I should be in charge of all family affairs."
No one can be the head of the Chris family except him!
No one should try to get their hands on anything belonging to the Chris family.
Chris spread his hands innocently, looking quite troubled: "This isn't what I said. The elders were just saying that whoever has the badge is in charge. Even if you're the clan leader, you can't change that. You should just accept reality."
"You..." the old patriarch roared in fury, "In whose hands?"
He needs to get the badge back.
"It's not in my hands, but you can all look forward to it."
Chris chuckled sinisterly, "Cherish this moment while you can, because after today, you won't be able to enjoy this honor anymore."
Ming Si narrowed his eyes dangerously; Chris's expression was off.
He's definitely up to no good; we absolutely can't let him succeed.
"Since you can't produce a badge either, let's all disperse for today."
Rather than pursuing the matter, he preferred to rely on the Chris family as a powerful force. As long as the Chris family was there, he wasn't afraid of not having a chance to make a comeback.
If Chris were to take the position of clan leader, he would truly have no way out.
So absolutely not.
"Who said we were disbanding? Sit down properly. The people haven't even arrived yet, what's the rush?"
Chris's words... could it be that the family's patriarchal insignia is really in the hands of an outsider?
**
In just two minutes, Chris was still timing the calculations.
3!
2!
1!
Lu Jingxiao appeared at the office door on time. He strode into the office with an air of nobility, his voice cold and clear: "I heard that you are all looking for the clan leader's badge?"
He casually tossed the badge onto the table: "Look, is this it?"
Chris gave it a fake glance, his acting was terrible: "This is naturally the crest of the Chris family."
"No!" The old patriarch immediately denied it: "This is not our family's emblem, Mr. Lu, you must have made a mistake."
You absolutely cannot admit it at this point.
If he acknowledges it, Lu Jingxiao will be able to boss the Chris family around.
This must never happen!
The elders were also stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
The clan chief's badge was indeed in Lu Jingxiao's hands, which confirmed everything Iman had said before.
Someone, oblivious to the danger, slammed their fist on the table and launched into a tirade against Chris: "I never imagined you would actually betray your own people, handing over the clan leader's badge to an outsider, and now you want an outsider to be in charge of the Chris family? Let me tell you, I will never admit it!"
"I won't admit it!"
Lu Jingxiao seemed to have been mentally prepared and didn't take their protests seriously at all.
"Whether you acknowledge it or not, the Chris family crest is in my hands. You can only listen to me."
Chris stood directly behind Lu Jingxiao and said, "Elders, we were just saying that whoever holds the clan leader's badge is the one we should listen to. And now, less than five minutes later, you're going to contradict yourselves?"
They then realized that Chris had deliberately led them to say those things.
So that's what they were waiting for!
The old patriarch was furious, and Paul the butler, who was injured, wasn't standing behind him. With no one to comfort him, he almost fainted.
However, Chris's words almost made him furious.
“Old man, you still have to hold on. You have to keep a close eye on the Chris family…” He suddenly bent down and whispered two words in the old patriarch’s ear: “Destruction.”
The old clan chief stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Is Chris really going to do this?
"How...how could you do this?" He gritted his teeth, even feeling deep regret for provoking Chris.
Is he really getting old?
“You should have expected this outcome when you boarded the cruise ship and attacked Yuxin and Miss Luo.”
Chris's eyes were filled with resentment, and he was completely oblivious to everything the old patriarch cared about.
It was as if everything about the Chris family had nothing to do with him.
He then turned to the crowd and said, “It would be best if you all did not resist. The fact that Mr. Lu and I can still talk to you and discuss things with you is a sign of our mercy. You should not take advantage of this mercy.”
Lu Jingxiao didn't want to waste words with them. He held the clan leader's badge in his hand, exercising his right.
“Now that the badge is in my hands, all of you must act according to my orders.” Lu Jingxiao sneered, “From this moment on, the Chris Family Elders Council is hereby abolished.”
"Do any of you have any objections?"
"When..." someone wanted to object.
Lu Jingxiao gave him no chance: "If you have any opinions, keep them to yourself. Whoever speaks out will die."
The pistol Chris had placed on the table served as a very effective deterrent at that moment.
He glanced at it casually, and he knew that Chris had pulled the trigger.
"Who wants to try this bullet?"
The old patriarch was even more furious, because all the elders had fallen silent.
Their lives seemed more important than being elders.
There is hope only when you are alive.
Those elders who had been jumping around so much instantly sat down in place, not uttering a single word.
Lu Jingxiao was still somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
He slightly raised his eyes to look at Ming Si, placed his broad and powerful hand on the gun, and pushed it forcefully, sending the pistol accurately sliding in front of Ming Si.
“I don’t need to tell you what Mr. Mingsi has done. Now, it’s your turn to give me an explanation.”
Ming Si looked down at the pistol. Lu Jingxiao's meaning was clear: he wanted him dead.
How could he possibly die?
“Lu Jingxiao, you have no right to kill me. That matter was not solely my fault. Even if you want to settle scores, the old patriarch and I are your targets. I will only bear one-third of the responsibility at most.”
Ming Si refused to accept it: "Don't think I don't know that the Iman family was involved among the people I sent. Why should I be blamed for everything?"
