Apocalypse After

Family Meetings

“You really got us in trouble Boris. Please don't scream. What if someone passing by hears it?”

Igor immediately wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. According to him, the previous Boris was very troublesome. The person is arrogant, greedy, and difficult to satisfy. But he still did business with that person because it was rather easy to be fooled.

On the other hand, Igor felt that the present Boris was more troublesome than before. Not only was his behavior extremely random, but his request was truly very unreasonable.

Help kill the shelter's family? Isn't that the same as asking the Blue Lantern to become the target of the Blood Cross?

It is best to be taken out of the shelter and at worst to be killed on the spot!

“What if they hear it? Don't those people want to kill me? I don't need to act hypocritical because I want to kill them!” bison shouted with a dissatisfied expression.

“Ssttt!”

Igor immediately made a gesture for Boris to be quiet. Of the many trades, the man felt that the trade this time was the most thrilling. He felt that the door could be broken at any time and they could be arrested at any time.

“Why? Can't you do it?” ask Boris loudly.

“Not because we can't afford to do it. Merely, such an action was too excessive and the effect was really not something that Blue Lantern could bear.” Igor had a sour expression.

“Cih! This one, that one ... all the same!” Boris clucked with a dissatisfied expression.

Boris then paced the room while cursing at random. Igor and his subordinates just kept quiet and watched, while the women who were brought were completely frightened.

Obviously, ‘sold’ to a new master who looked crazy like it was terrible. They did not even dare to imagine what would happen to them in the future.

“Forget! Nene!” shouted Boris.

“Ya, Sir?” answer Nene by express ‘fear’ on her face.

“Take money. Count it! Count well and don't forget the pieces. Igor said it himself!”

“B-Good!” nene replied before hurriedly counting the money.

By the time Nene counted the money, Boris was immediately seated in a chair. He asked Igor and the others to sit down and take a bottle of wine. He opened the lid then drank the wine straight away with a dissatisfied expression.

Really treat wine like regular water!

Looking at Boris who was drinking, Igor suddenly asked, “Do you have any new news, My friend?”

“What? Just say!” said Boris in a hoarse voice.

“It appears that the Fiennes Family invited a large family in Shelter 11. As one of the elders of the Grasswald Family, do you know what they are trying to do?” ask Igor.

The Fiennes family was the ruling family of the 11th Shelter, including Aunt Ma and his descendants. Alexander had not heard such news at all. However, the chaos that had occurred lately had the Grasswald Family a little chaotic.

“Hah?! Is there anything like that? I really don't know!” said Boris in a surprised tone. He then directly cursed, “Definitely those rotten people! They definitely didn't tell me important information like this!”

“Quiet, Boris. Be calm! Maybe you haven't been told because now the Grasswald Family doesn't have a family head.” Igor immediately comforted Boris.

“Cih! Isn't that already Moris' sister? He and Norris have a high chance of gaining power. As for the third brother, Jordy was obviously unreliable. That guy is unreliable.” Boris snorted coldly.

“What about you, Boris? Aren't you planning on being the head of the family?” Igor asked with a mysterious smile.

Boris was stunned for a moment. He stared at Igor before laughing out loud.

“Don't joke with me Igor. Me? Family head? Not likely. A waste like me that only makes my brothers' eyes hurt. They tried to finish me off to occupy my fortune!” said Boris.

“That's not necessarily true, Boris. You underestimate yourself! Compared to your stiff brothers, you are better at being able to blend in.

We, the Blue Lantern may not be as strong as your family who have a long history. But our strength cannot be underestimated. Our fighting force can compete with your family.

I can't help you kill your brothers or relatives. But I can help you win the position of head of the family. Are you interested in discussing it, Boris?”

Right then, the atmosphere instantly became even quieter and colder.

Her night.

After returning home, Alexander asked the attendant (branch member) to bring back the materials purchased from the Blue Lantern to the family warehouse. These are the ingredients of potions and weapons that family members usually use.

When she returned home, Jane was waiting for her. The woman put on a slightly worried expression, but still kept her composure.

“Is something wrong?” ask Alexander.

“Mr Moris asks to ask you to go to the meeting room Mr.” Jane said nervously.

Alexander nodded lightly. He knows why Jane is nervous. The woman clearly thought that her disguise was exposed. So it's only natural that Jane becomes nervous and behaves abnormally.

“No problem.” Alexander convinced the woman. “Although it was a bit troublesome, I still somewhat understood what was trying to be discussed in that meeting.”

Looking at Alexander who looked so calm, Jane felt somewhat relieved. The woman became calmer as she felt her master had handled everything. So the situation was not at all as heavy as he thought.

“Arrange them for me.”

Alexander handed over the ‘gift’ Igor gave to Jane before heading to a small building with one room usually used for meetings.

Arriving there, Alexander saw that nine others had gathered. Some of them came early and some were still standing, obviously just coming.

In the Grasswald Family meeting, there are usually ten elders and one leader, the head of the family. Now the seat of the family head was empty, so the meeting was conducted by ten elders.

Among the ten people, four were core members who were siblings of the main lineage. The other six are from branch families. Although not so big, but the Grasswald Family was clearly better than a small family of three or four.

Alexander immediately went towards the fourth elder's seat where he should have been. At the moment of sensing someone's gaze, he would instantly turn his head and look at that person with a ferocious expression. The six elders from the branch family became uncomfortable and finally stopped looking at him.

Meanwhile, there were also people who continued to look at him hatefully. That man was the first elder, Norris.

As the two of them stared at each other fiercely, the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit awkward. Finally, the sound of clapping was heard and distracted all of them.

The source of his voice was Moris who was sitting in the third elder's seat.

The man looked around with a serious expression on his face.

“Now is not the time to fight each other.

Actually, there's important news I want to tell you. This was very important as the news was delivered directly by the Fiennes Family's stewards. You better listen first and postpone the fight next time.”

Hearing Moris words, everyone's expressions became solemn. Alexander also stopped making trouble. He looked towards the man with a serious expression. Really curious about the news he got.

Only, there was one person who felt unacceptable.

“What the fuck? I am definitely the oldest among you. Why is the Fiennes Family envoy looking for Moris, not me?!” norris shouted with a dissatisfied expression.

“Maybe they are looking for me because my activities are not too busy compared to you, Kak.” Moris said calmly.

Although Moris said it was to appease Norris. The six elders, Jordy, and Alexander knew that the upper party seemed to be quite familiar and trusted Moris more than the rest of the family.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Moris nodded. His originally calm expression turned serious, even heavier than before.

“This concerns not only the Fiennes Family, but the entire 11.” Shelter

“You should listen to it carefully.”
