Chapter 430: Even Want to Seize the Position of the Lian Family Head?
"There's no way I'm going to plead for you." Kennedy's face darkened as he glared at Garth coldly. "Whether you live or die, I don't know, but one thing's for sure - you need to give me back the position of family head."
"Everything in the Hope family is my dad's life's work. I can't let the Hope family fall into your hands again, including Summit Technologies Group. From now on, it has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Garth's face instantly darkened. "What? You want to take the position of family head from me?"
"Not take - make you give it back."
Garth sneered. "You're young, but your ambition is huge. You want to be the Hope family head? Look at yourself - can you even manage the Hope family? If outsiders find out the Hope family head is useless, do you think anyone will still respect the Hope family?"
"I'm not the useless person you say I am anymore." Kennedy looked at him and casually raised her hand. A powerful surge of Inner Energy burst out, directly blasting through the thick wall beside them.
Garth and the elders were stunned.
Several elders looked shocked. "Kennedy, can you practice ancient martial arts now?"
"I've always been able to practice ancient martial arts. My energy channels were just sealed, so I couldn't circulate Inner Energy."
Garth couldn't believe it. "How is that possible?"
When Kennedy was born, he had secretly arranged for someone to seal Kennedy's energy channels. Unsealing energy channels wasn't easy - the success rate was very low.
Kennedy's gaze swept toward Garth, and she spoke quietly: "My energy channels being sealed - that was your doing too, wasn't it?"
Garth gritted his teeth, his face darkening slightly, but said nothing.
The elders immediately understood what had happened. They looked at Garth in disbelief, heartbroken by what he'd done. "Garth, she's your own brother's only daughter!"
What wouldn't Garth do?
"If that's the case, Kennedy, how did you recover?" one of the elders asked.
"Isabella helped. She got Louie to unseal my energy channels."
The elders nodded in understanding. "I see!"
"If it were Louie, with his divination abilities, he could calculate the best time to unseal the energy channels, which would increase the success rate."
"Elders, I couldn't fight Garth before, but now that I know the truth, I have to fight. I'm determined to get the position of family head. If you're willing to stand with me, I welcome you anytime. If not, then we'll have to face each other as enemies."
"That's all I have to say. Elders, decide your own fate."
Kennedy's meaning was clear enough.
Simply put, it could be translated as "those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish."
She just said it more subtly.
At these words, the elders' expressions changed.
Garth never expected that one day Kennedy, this useless person, would dare to be so arrogant. He was furious. "Kennedy, you want to seize power?"
Kennedy's expression was cold, not wanting to argue with him. "If that's how you want to put it, fine."
Garth's face turned ugly.
Kennedy said nothing more, instead looking at the elders present.
The elders didn't need to think.
"Kennedy, we support you!"
"Kennedy, Garth killed the previous family head and did such horrible things to you. If we'd known the truth earlier, we never would have accepted him as family head! Of course, we won't support him now!"
Most of the elders here had followed Eldridge when he was in power. They were heartbroken about Eldridge's death. Garth conspiring with outsiders to murder Eldridge was unforgivable - they wouldn't forgive him!
"That's right, I suggest we make Kennedy the new family head immediately. Garth offended the Powell family; his days are numbered, and he can't hold this position anymore."
All voices supported Kennedy.
Before, when Kennedy couldn't practice ancient martial arts, they were helpless, but now it was different. Since Kennedy was qualified to be family head, even though Kennedy was young, they would do everything to train her.
After all, she was Eldridge's only bloodline!
Garth was so angry his eyes bulged. "You, you all...!"
He really didn't expect these people to change sides so quickly, all standing with Kennedy.
"Garth, you can only blame yourself for having no moral bottom line. Someone as vicious as you really doesn't deserve to be family head!" Grayson Hope said sternly.
"And you offended the Powell family. Do you want the entire Hope family to go down with you?"
"Even for the sake of the Hope family, we have to choose Kennedy."
"..."
"Since everyone's decided, then I'll trouble the elders to help throw Garth's family out of the castle, including Theodosia and Orville."
Grayson looked directly at Garth. "Garth, will you leave on your own and keep some dignity, or do we need to make you?"
Garth was still making excuses. "Elders, don't just listen to her side of the story..."
Grayson snorted coldly, his face stern. "Looks like I'll have to make you."
Just as Grayson was about to act, suddenly an incredibly powerful force pressed down on him, forcing Grayson back several steps.
It was the Hope family's First Elder, Tyler!
With Tyler was the Second Elder, Leandro - the only hypnotist among the Hope family elders.
The Hope family elder council had eight elders in total. The oldest was First Elder Tyler, 92 years old, undoubtedly the strongest in the Hope family.
Unlike the seven great clans, among the thirty-six noble families, the elder council was often stronger than the family head, because the family heads were relatively young, and it was hard to overcome the advantage of age with talent alone.
Of course, there were exceptions, but they were rare.
With Tyler's move, sweat broke out on Grayson's forehead, and he barely managed to steady himself.
Seeing Tyler arrive, Garth immediately felt like he'd found his backbone. "Tyler! You're finally here!"
He ran toward Tyler, pointing at Kennedy and the elders beside her, angrily denouncing them: "These people are completely lawless - they're trying to rebel!"
Tyler's subtle gaze fell on Kennedy, then she looked at the wall Kennedy had blasted through, stroked her beard, and sneered: "What? Your body recovered, so now you want to rebel? Even want to take the position of family head?"
Kennedy narrowed her eyes at Tyler. "You're planning to stand with Garth?"
Tyler laughed twice. "Naturally."
"I'm loyal to Garth."
Her gaze swept over the elders beside Kennedy one by one, with some contempt and disdain in her eyes. "I'm not as stupid as some people."
The elders' faces darkened at these words.
"Tyler, Garth murdered Eldridge! Even so, you still want to stand with him?" Grayson looked at Tyler intently.
