Mafia Don And His 7 Sisters

Chapter 585

Chapter 585 Who Agrees, and Who Objects?

John had never thought about rebuilding the Sword Emperor Sect or being the sect leader.

He was too busy to do that

It was not because he was not strong enough.

What? You don’t believe it?

Whatever!

Anyway, John was wronged this time. After regaining his strength, he was in a good mood and decided to come back to settle the score with David and Larry. Thus, he accepted the position of leader of the three sects.

After he took over, he could delegate anyway. The point was that he would not let David and Larry live a comfortable life.

The revenge of a gentleman could wait a night but not a year, or it would be less fun, wasn’t it?

Just then…

Lard continued to speak.

“The Heavenly Sword Emperor left a decree. Whoever gets his inheritance will be the new leader of the Sword Emperor Sect. This gentleman here is the successor recognized by the Heavenly Sword Emperor, so…

Harry will be our new leader.

Who agrees, and who objects?

The opposers can stand out now and express their ideas. The presbyters of the Ghost Sword Sect and the Ancient Sword Sect will listen to their objections carefully, but we will not accept them.”

“What’s the point in voicing our objections then?

We have reason to suspect that you want to make a blacklist and set us as bad examples when the new leader took up the reins.

Whoever dares object must be brain damaged!”

The disciples silently thought to themselves.

“Presbyter, I have an opinion.”

Someone spoke, and the others all looked over. Seeing it was Nigel, everyone was shocked.

Wasn’t Nigel always supportive of the successor to the Sword Emperor? He had openly expressed his full support for the succession. Why did he have a problem at such a point?

Had he been acting the whole time?

Was he just saying he was grateful to the Heavenly Sword Emperor, while in fact he was unwilling to give up his position?

Everyone was puzzled.

Nigel walked slowly to the Sword Emperor Hall and spoke with a smile, “Presbyter, I’d like to correct your statement. It’s the presbyters of the three sects, not just the Ghost Sword Sect and the Ancient Sword Sect. You missed the Spiritual Sword Sect…”

He thought for a while and continued, “To be precise, it is the new presbyters’ council that has unanimously decided to nominate Harry for the leadership of our sect.

Although Nigel didn’t know how Lard had persuaded the presbyters of the Ghost Sword Sect and the Ancient Sword Sect to support John, wasn’t this what he wanted to see?

He didn’t mind announcing his resignation as the leader of the Spiritual Sword Sect in front of everyone and his degradation to an ordinary presbyter.

Compared with rebuilding the Sword Emperor Sect, such things didn’t matter.

Once the words were out of his mouth, the disciples of the Sword Sect were in an uproar. Some were excited, some were confused, and others were shocked. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Except for Lard and the other presbyters, no one knew what had happened. The three major sword sects had been hostile to each other, but now they were eager to merge?

It felt like a dream.

Nigel smiled in a certain direction and said, “What do you guys think?”

The two he was looking at were Larry and David.

At that moment, their faces were terribly livid.

Never in their wildest dreams had they expected such a thing. Even the presbyters of their sects stood out to support John.

Larry’s eyes glinted with coldness. Pulling a long face, he shouted, “Lard and those with you, you’re a disgrace to sword sects. Your action is no different from treason.”

The air was instantly thick with tension.

The people looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what Larry meant by that.

The rebuilding of the Sword Emperor Sect was an irresistible trend. It was their path back to glory. Why did

Larry call it treason?

They didn’t get it.

Larry sneered and continued, “The Heavenly Sword Emperor indeed left a decree that whoever gets his inheritance will be the new leader, but I think that he should get the position through his strength rather than dirty tricks.”

Dirty tricks?

Everyone was even more confused.

Larry gloomily ran his eyes over the crowd and said loudly, “I suppose all the disciples have heard about the battle between Harry and Giovani yesterday.

Giovani is a genius of swordsmanship from the Ancient Sword Sect. At the Peak of Foundation Establishment, he could compare with one in the early stage of Gold Core.

In contrast, Harry was only in the refining energy stage when he got the inheritance of the Sword Emperor. Later, he broke through to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment by chance and practiced the Emperor Swordsmanship Manual. Even so, he could match one at the middle or later stage of the same realm at most.

He was naturally no match for Giovani.

However, Harry not only defeated Giovani but also killed him. Even his remains were blasted. Do you know why?

That’s because Harry has practiced an ancient secret method to enhance his strength greatly in a short period of time. That’s why he could kill Giovani.”

Larry spoke slowly, and everyone listened carefully.

They naturally knew about the clash between John and Giovani, and they also suspected that John had practiced some secret technique, or else he wouldn’t have been able to kill someone who was in a higher realm.

But what was the problem with that?

John had a secret manual, which was part of his strength. The contemptuous look he was showing only gave people the feeling that he was jealous.

No disciples dared speak. They just listened to Larry’s analysis quietly.

Larry sneered again and continued, “I presume everyone is familiar with secret techniques. You should know that using such techniques comes with a cost.

It’s especially true for secret techniques that increases strength. They consume refined blood, vitality, and even life.”

The people whispered to each other and discussed in low voices, agreeing with Larry’s words.

The casting of secret techniques indeed came with a price, so most of the time, those who practiced them would not use them randomly but only in critical moments.

Was Larry accusing Harry of using a crooked technique to oppose the latter being the new leader of the Sword Emperor Sect?

It shouldn’t be. Even though secret methods were flawed, they were part of orthodox inheritance, and practicing them was not something shameful. On the contrary, the cultivators were longing for them.

Who didn’t want to have an extra life-saving technique?

If this was Larry’s only point, it meant that he was too naïve and his argument was weak.
