Chapter 566: The Younger Talents of the Ancient Families
"They are here," Naze said with a smile pointing towards the entrance.
Max turned his head to see a familiar figure walk into the place. It was a guy and Max knew him very well. After all, Max was serving under him in the Disciplinary Committee.
Yes, he was the head of the Disciplinary committee and the grandson of the Lord of Kingsman family, Argus Kingsman.
As soon as Argus entered the room, he seed to turn his head around as if looking for soone and his eyes soon t with Max and he smiled. The next instant, his voice rang in Max's ears. "I am looking forward to it. I hope this will be better then our first eting."
Max could only shake his head with a helpless smile. He rembered kicking Argus out of the window on the first day of their etin when the guy was actually just testing him out.
It was clear that he was not supporting Max today just because he was here looking forward to see so fun.
The next person to enter was a guy with huge built and Max felt his figure to be resembling August a bit. He was carrying a huge broadsword on his back which kind of reminded Max of Murcas.
"He is Ragnar Von, the current top of Von Family. He is your good friend's first cousin." Naze confird Max's suspicions. He then further went on, "The two have good relationship. Well, the current generation don't have any hatred actually or maybe a bit sowhere but at most only rivalry existed between them unlike the generation of the Lords who were practically enemy."
Soon another person entered the place and he was a guy as well. He looked thin and frail from his appearance but Max knew the guy was definitely not weak. He seed to be using so kind of technique to conceal his strength but it didn't work in front of Max as he could tell this guy was at the peak of Expert Tier. A very strong person considering that the rest of the guys who had entered the place were only at the late stage of Expert Tier.
"He is the the representative from the younger generation of the Zatch House. His na is Bell Zatch. His bother was previously the strongest among all the representatives of the Five Houses. But there has been no news of him ever since he entered the Ancient Cetery. And now with his brother gone, the Zatch House ranks the lowest in the Younger generation among the five houses," Naze said with a smile as he shook his head.
'I wonder why he is hiding his strength though,' Max looked at him, this person was clearly stronger then any other person he had seen around his age. And yet he was being called the weakest.
At this mont, the people whom Max had been interested in finally arrived.
The girl in the lead had dium length purple colored hairs. She was wearing a short two piece dress with matching jewelry on her neck and wrists. And then there was another girl next to her with light brown hair and she definitely looked like Ethena Leviathan, the lady whom he had t in Ishtar, his master's friend and Anna's master.
"The girl with purple hair is Synthia and the one by her side is Rihanna." Naze once again confird Max's thoughts.
As soon as the two entered the place, a lot of gazes shifted on them for obvious reasons.
'Well, let's see what these ladies have got…'Max muttered inwardly before deciding to disguise himself a little. It would be no fun if he was recognized after all.
Hence, he activated his spirit mark and his skin slowly changed colors and his face slightly changed. This was the best he could do with the spirit mark right now. But Max was confident that these people whom he had never et him in person would definitely fail to recognize him.
Naze's eyes widened a bit when he suddenly saw Max's figure change a bit. He was really surprised this ti.
"Just how many things have you got in your pocket?" He couldn't help but ask looking at him.
"Enough to send my enemies to their graves." Max smiled at him.
"Well, I will have to be careful then.." Naze laughed as he shook his head.
…
On the stage…
Argus quietly took his seat and left the seat for the commander open without sparing it any glance. The one to co after him was Ragnar Von. He looked at the seat for a few seconds and then his gaze shifted towards Argus who just gave him a smile. In the end, he too left it aside. The next in line was Bell Zatch, the guy just nodded at Argus and Ragnar and went to take a corner seat. He clearly wasn't interested in being the commander as well.
People below were watching the show with interest. It was already clear to them what was happening around. They were all waiting to see how the things would turn out in the end. They were all older people and to them, it just seed like a kid's ga.
When Synthia reached the stage, she didn't hesitate at all and imdiately took the main seat. Rihanna who was behind her seed a bit hesitant about it but there was no stopping that girl.
"I hope you guy's don't mind! After all you had the chance," She said while looking at the rest of the guys beside her.
Rihanna sighed and shook her head before sitting next to her which left only one seat in the corner empty.
Synthia then turned to face the crowd and addressed them, "I will be taking the charge of the operation."
Silence imdiately enveloped the place. She had finally done it. The war was official now. Once Max would arrive, it would be a seen to see. They were excited.
These people didn't have any idea that hunter was already here lurking behind its prey.
"We don't need soone else to take care of our business. We have fought with the Demon for ages and we would continue to do that. We have more experience in dealing with them than any other person possibly have. Just because soone has a bit of strength doesn't an that you will make him the king. War is won with wits and not just strength and I doubt that our so called previous commander had that. As for his strength, lets not go in detail, I think everyone here can beat him with one hand."
Sher really wasn't giving Max an inch.
"Did you kill her mother?" Naze asked looking at Max.
Well, he didn't think he did. But her behavior really made Max doubt his own mories. She was not only trying to gain control of the situation but bash Max at the sa ti for so reason.
There must have been so reason for that hatred. It couldn't beco like this for no reason after all.
"Hence, I will be replacing him now." Synthia concluded her initial speech.
"I don't think anyone should have a problem with it?" She further added before looking around.
At this mont, a hand raised up from the crowd and it took everyone by surprise.
A frown appeared on Synthia's face as she saw the person who raised his hand, "What do you an by this?"
"Umn..I thought people with a problem were suppose to raise their hand?" Max said with a smile as he slowly got up. Even though he didn't think that the chance would co so soon, it still ca and honestly he didn't mind since everyone was here.
Naze looked at him with a smile. He was curious as to what Max was going to do here.
"You have so problem with taking the command?" Synthia asked looking at Max with nacing eyes.
"Yes! You are not soone whom I am suppose to listen to," Max replied with a shrug and she obviously couldn't say anything to that remark.
"Do you think I don't have qualification for that?" Her voice turning heavier with each words.
"Do you think I am wrong?" Max asked her.
"Yes, out of the everyone on the stage. I am only one who has the will to lead. And those who are here are qualified enough." Synthia replied with a confident tone.
"Then why weren't you selected as the commander of the operation? Why do you have to steal it from soone else? Are you trying to tell all these people that the Lords had made a wrong decision?" Max asked with a smile and his words imdiately turned the place silent.
Synthia's face started to turn ugly as well. She couldn't retort Max at all. After all retorting here would have bigger implications.
A few people's face imdiately change with Max's ergence.
"You don't have any answer lady? Are you admitting that you are wrong here?" Max asked as he crossed his arms.
"The Lords indeed didn't choose but they didn't stop from doing this. It clearly ans that the person has to be competent enough to deal with the inconsistencies. So where do you see him now? A person who can't even appear here on ti will lead us to deal with the upcoming situation?"
Max shook his head and laugh, "There has to be a limit of shalessness. You clearly blocked every information from reaching him and you expect the person to reach here on ti?"
"Who are you?" Synthia's face changed.
