Chapter 1589: Chapter 917: Unexpected Gains and the Gratitude of the Elders_2 Chapter 1589: Chapter 917: Unexpected Gains and the Gratitude of the Elders_2 “Lord, I have confird the identity of the other party!”
Randal’s crisp voice soon reached Leo Ray’s ears: “1000368, registered Mithril-ranked rcenary from the Grimm Kingdom, nicknad Eyes of Illusion – Asher Porter, proficient in using illusions; last appeared at Star Harbor Castle in the Grimm Kingdom!”
“Understood.”
Leo Ray closed the Mind Talk and looked up and down at the flustered, pale face of the half-elf illusionist, smiling: “So you are Eyes of Illusion – Asher Porter, quite a dazzling na.”
“Mr. Lane, Princess, this rcenary is indeed Eyes of Illusion – Asher Porter. I happened to et him in the rcenary Guild a few days ago.”
The blue-robed elder walked over quickly, accompanied by Leslie and the other three elders.
As soon as he approached, the blue-robed elder intended to bow to Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, but caught sight of the half-elf illusionist’s true face and exclaid in surprise: “A young girl? I didn’t expect Mr. Asher to be so young!”
“After all, this guy is a genuine half-elf, you can’t judge her age just from her appearance.”
Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and asked the female half-elf illusionist, “So, Eyes of Illusion – Asher Porter, tell your real na.”
“Just call Mia.”
Upon hearing that Leo Ray was not one of Harrison’s lackeys, the half-elf illusionist nad Mia’s panic visibly subsided, and she sighed in relief: “So you are the famous princess’s guest official! Your na, Mr. Lane, has been well-known lately!”
“I dare not claim that, I only do my best.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, his expression suddenly becoming stern: “Since you’re a rcenary, then continue to fulfill your duties, but don’t have any crooked thoughts, or I will kill you on the spot.”
“Rest assured, my completion rate is 100%, I’ve never let my employers down!”
Looking at Leo Ray’s eyes clearly filled with murderous intent, Mia’s pale throat rolled as she swallowed and quickly nodded.
“Return her belongings to her for now.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, gesturing for Jasper Richardson and Elusa to keep a close eye on Mia while handing back the rcenary badge to her.
Leo Ray understood that this girl would be of great use in the future and naturally could not be let off easily.
However, the most pressing matter at this stage is to contact Leslie’s grandfather and the other opposing elders as soon as possible.
“It’s indeed Mr. Lane, who can even easily ta the aloof Eyes of Illusion – Asher Porter.”
The blue-robed elder sighed and imdiately knelt on one knee, sincerely saying, “Thank you, Princess and Mr. Lane, for coming to the rescue and saving Leslie!”
The other three elders also made the sa gesture, bowing their heads towards Leo Ray and Ariel Watson.
Then, the four elderly mbers of the Sanders family could not help but tremble slightly from excitent.
Just now, they had lost their direction in the darkness, and the arrival of the Princess and Mr. Lane was like sending coal in the snow, allowing them to see the dawn of hope once again!
“The four elders need not be so formal.”
Leo Ray helped the elders up one by one and smiled as he nodded.
After that, through Leslie’s introduction, Leo Ray learned that-
The blue-robed elder was Leslie’s grandfather, Chief Elder Keane of the Sanders family.
As for the other three elders, they were naturally the opposition elders who stood with Elder Keane.”Elder Keane, Leslie has already told you, hasn’t she? My purpose in accompanying the princess on this journey is to remove Harrison from the position of family head.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Leo Ray’s face was filled with seriousness. He said, “He has led the Sanders Family to stand against and the princess, pointed his blade at us. I will never let him go.”
“Not to hide anything from Your Excellency Mr. Lane, when Harrison held the secret eting, the four of us elders firmly objected to his approach, but he ignored us.”
Elder Keane gently stroked his white beard and shook his head in helplessness.
“Your Excellency Mr. Lane, the main reason the Sanders family has been able to develop to the point they are now is their wholehearted devotion to the royal family. Although so family heads have attempted to act on their ambition, they have never crossed the line.”
“But Harrison has taken a step forward without hesitation, leading the Sanders Family into the struggle for power, trying to determine the ownership of the throne by his own hands. How arrogant and reckless it is.”
As Elder Keane was speaking, the other three elders nodded in agreent, their expressions filled with indignation.
“Elder Keane is right. If Harrison continues on his stubborn path, the princess and I will have no choice but to destroy the entire Sanders family, even if it ans perishing together.”
Leo Ray’s voice grew more solemn, and he continued, “However, through the princess’s understanding, we learned that there are still loyal subjects like you in the Sanders family, so we decided to approach you alone in order to prevent the Sanders family from plunging into a further abyss.”
“This is not only for you and the Sanders family, but also for the princess and . As long as the Sanders family turns to our side, when the princess eventually ascends to the throne, not only will all the family’s sins be pardoned, but they will also gain greater benefits and glory.”
“Of course, all this is yet to be discussed further.”
Leo Ray’s gaze moved across the four elders, continuing, “As for now, as long as you choose to support and the princess, you will be under our protection. I will guarantee the safety of you and your families, for we are fighting this battle together.”
As he spoke, Leo Ray’s voice slowed down a bit and asked, “What do you think? Are you all willing to assist and the princess?”
“Not only did Your Excellency Mr. Lane save Leslie’s life, but you also allowed us to see the light of hope again. How could we not be willing?”
Keane and the other three elders exchanged glances, seeing the determination in each other’s eyes, and responded without hesitation, “The princess’s benevolence is well-known throughout the world, and Your Excellency Mr. Lane’s strategy is even more remarkable. Therefore, no matter what decision the princess and Your Excellency Mr. Lane make, we will fully support it!”
“No matter what decision the princess and Your Excellency Lane make, we will fully support it!”
Following Keane’s words, the other three elders echoed the sa and nodded their agreent.
“With these words from you, the princess and I can rest assured.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and then explained his thoughts in detail to Keane and the others.
“Supporting Linda to beco the family head, huh?”
After listening to Leo Ray’s words, Elder Keane nodded thoughtfully and sighed, “To be frank with Your Excellency Mr. Lane and the princess, there was not much disparity between the direct and collateral branches of the Sanders family at first. It was only in the past few decades that the conflict intensified, putting the collateral mbers like Gael in a more passive position.”
“Influenced by the family, even we elders have gradually neglected the collateral mbers. This is indeed our negligence.”
At this point, Elder Keane and the other three elders sheepishly smiled at Linda and Gael, then continued, “However, historically, there are no precedents for collateral mbers to beco the family head.”
“But please rest assured, Your Excellency Mr. Lane and the Princess, according to the family rules, there is no restriction on collateral mbers becoming the family head. Therefore, we will spare no effort in helping Linda ascend to the position of family head!”
“After all, it was the first ti Harrison recklessly joined in the struggle for power.”
After affirming Leo Ray’s idea, the expression on Elder Keane’s face beca troubled again. He shook his head helplessly and said, “However, to truly achieve this, I’m afraid it won’t be as easy as we thought.”
“If there are any difficulties, please don’t hesitate to speak, Elder Keane.”
Leo Ray raised an eyebrow, looking calm as the wind, and asked,
