Free Web NovelChapter 640: Chapter 391: We All Have a Bright Future
"Belie, why, why..." Patriarch Alben’s face was twisted in agony and disbelief; he couldn’t believe his final fate was to die at his daughter’s hands.
"Alas, to end up like this, it seems I’ve never felt any concern or familial love from her towards you," Susu remarked, then added, "Sorry Old Deng, actually you’re not important, but without you our plans are crucial."
Patriarch Alben died in a corner unknown to anyone, just like the lowly commoners he always looked down upon, like a stray dog dying by the roadside.
His head and face were destroyed, his body thrown into the gutter like rubbish, perhaps becoming a feast for the mosquitoes here.
"Everyone, please take me to the Alben Family." After settling things on this side, the Little Witch spoke to the Xiao Organization members behind her.
It wasn’t her first time killing someone; after all, in the Divine Purification Demon Eye of Xue Dili prior, she had millions of heads above her, although most of those belonged to Margaret, but Susu was indeed the guardian divine purification Witch.
Earlier she had also cleared more than one batch of guys connected to the Demon, even roughly at age 15, she witnessed a local organization secretly kidnapping local children, selling them to the Demon, gaining wealth and power.
At that time, she directly confronted those troublemakers, killed many people, before she found and rescued those children.
Now, she sighed, even when personally executing the "father" of this body, there was no discomfort or aversion, instead a sense of joy and relief after revenge, and even a higher degree of fit with the body itself.
This indicates that the original owner of this body, the eldest daughter of the Alben Family, had no familial affection for her father, only resentment and the desire to commit patricide.
True fatherly love and filial piety, Susu was shocked.
Even uncertain of the reason, after the patricide, the whole body felt refreshed, like after a shower with new underwear, really felt like her original body, and according to the indicators from Xue Dili, now her possession fit was over 80%.
Unlike Xue Dili, whose current fit was only around 70% at most.
...
Currently in the Alben Family, just as the City Lord predicted, the returning main force was hesitant, fearing any mishap concerning the Patriarch.
If the Patriarch died here because of them, they would all be held responsible by the main family.
Thus, both sides were stuck here, one side the Alben Family members afraid to act, the other the City Guard Army with no confidence, both sides exchanging local trash talk, stuck in a stalemate.
At this moment, someone in the Alben Family started sensing something amiss; the Patriarch’s condition didn’t look good, could it be, the Patriarch was actually dead now, and what the City Lord held was merely the Patriarch’s corpse?
This thought rose in the minds of more people, after all, the Patriarch in the City Lord’s hands hadn’t uttered a word until now, not spoken even a single sentence to them.
And soon, as Susu brought people over, the Alben Family members seemed to find their backbone.
"Everyone, my father, perhaps is already dead..." Susu lowered her head and then fell silent.
At this point, Xue Dili stepped forward, saying, "Confirming this is actually simple, just need the City Lord to have the Patriarch say a word."
Others nodded in agreement, many even started harboring different thoughts.
If the Patriarch was dead, then who would inherit?
The eldest daughter!
Then, in this war, could they become the eldest daughter’s confidant, even leap to become those granted the surname?
The weather is cold, eldest daughter, do you need an extra coat?
Unseen ambitions seemed to ignite at this moment, their desire was merely to possess the Alben surname; with this surname, they would be true aristocrats.
However, they didn’t show such thoughts outwardly, all feigning grief.
Then, after discussions concluded, they indeed sent someone to confront the City Lord, demanding the Lord of the Family speak.
The City Lord became utterly flustered, realizing he couldn’t hide it anymore, he directly tossed that corpse out, at this moment, the entire Alben Family was in an uproar.
After Xue Dili whispered something to Susu, the Little Witch immediately knew what to say next, yelling, "Everyone, avenge Father, avenge the Patriarch! Whoever can kill the City Lord and take his head, will be granted the Alben surname!"
At this instant, the remaining peripheral members of the Alben Family went mad.
All their life they wanted to change their surname to Alben, doing so would make them true nobility, even hereditary nobility, no more just civilians, they were risking their lives for the Alben Family, just for this moment.
The chance to change their surname to Alben was rare, usually only the outstanding ones that the family views in a different light would marry into the family, allowing their offspring to bear the Alben name.
But now, it wasn’t their descendants bearing the Alben name, they themselves had the chance to possess this noble surname, and their descendants forever noble!
