The Lin family head sat in the main seat. Even though his soul had just returned to its place and his face was slightly pale, his eyes radiated an undeniable majesty.
“I called all of you here today because Dongxiang County cannot be without a leader for even a day. The county chief has passed away, and we must choose a virtuous and capable person to lead Dongxiang County to prosperity.” The Lin family head’s voice was loud and clear, echoing in the hall.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was discordant booing.
Representatives from the Zhao, Qian, and Sun families stepped forward, their faces filled with disdain.
Zhao Hu, the head of the Zhao family, was a burly man with a face full of scars. He roared, “Lin family head, what qualifications does your Lin family have to preside over the princess selection? Could it be that you want to take advantage of this opportunity to control Dongxiang County and seize power for yourself?”
Qian Wanguan, the head of the Qian family, was thin but had an evil look in his eyes. He chimed in, “That’s right! Your Lin family thinks you can dominate the world just because you have a little power. Don’t you know your own limits?”
Sun Ba, head of the Sun family, looked haughty. He folded his arms and sneered, “Patriarch Lin, you have just recovered your soul. How much strength do you have left? Don’t try to show off. Your Lin family has no right to desire the position of Princess!”
Hearing that, the Lin family head’s expression changed slightly, but he still suppressed his anger and said, “My Lin family has devoted itself to Dongxiang County for many years. Now that the county head is not here, it is only right that my Lin family step forward and take charge of the overall situation.”
If any of you have a better candidate, please share it. As long as it is for the good of Dongxiang County, my Lin family will definitely support you.”
However, Zhao Hu didn’t believe it at all. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “Support? What support do you have? Today, none of our three families will accept the Lin family’s decision regarding the position of princess! If you ask me, we, the Zhao, Qian, and Sun families, have to choose one!”
Qian Wanguan and Sun Ba nodded in agreement. Instantly, debate erupted in the hall, and the representatives of the various factions split into groups, accusing and cursing each other. The atmosphere became chaotic for a while.
Seeing this, Patriarch Lin felt anxious and angry. He was about to speak to stop him when Zhao Hu suddenly moved and rushed over to him while shouting, “Patriarch Lin, if you are not convinced, let me test your abilities!”
The Lin family head did not expect Zhao Hu to make such a sudden move. He had just recovered his soul and his strength had not yet fully recovered, so he had no time to dodge.
Just when Zhao Hu’s fist was about to hit the Lin family head, a figure appeared like a ghost, instantly appearing in front of the Lin family head and grabbing Zhao Hu’s fist.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was David.
David remained calm, but his eyes flashed a cold glint. With a flick of his wrist, Zhao Hu staggered back several steps.
