My portable grandfather refreshes every week
Chapter 393 We all have a bright future
"Belli, why, why did you do this to me? I am your father..." The head of the Alban family had an incredulous look on his face, which was contorted with pain. He couldn't believe that his final fate would be to die at the hands of his daughter.
"Sigh, I feel like I've never felt any concern or affection for you in this body of hers," Su Su complained, then added, "Sorry, Lao Deng, you're not really that important, but your absence is crucial to our plans."
The head of the Alban family died in a corner unknown to anyone, just like the lowly commoners he had always looked down upon, dying like a stray dog on the side of this avenue.
The head and face were destroyed, and the body was thrown into the sewer like garbage, perhaps to become food for the mosquitoes there.
"Everyone, please take me to the Alban family's residence." After settling things here, the little witch said to the Akatsuki members behind her.
This wasn't her first time killing someone. After all, in Xue Lude's eyes of the God of Purification, there were hundreds of millions of heads above her head. Although the vast majority of those heads belonged to Margaret, Su Su was, after all, a God of Purification who protected one side.
She had previously dealt with more than one group of people connected with demons. When she was about 15 years old, she even witnessed an organization secretly kidnapping local children and selling them to demons to gain wealth and power.
At that time, she went directly to those people's house to cause trouble, killing many people before finding and rescuing those children.
Now, at most, I can only feel a sense of awe. Even though I killed this "father" in a physical sense with my own hands, I didn't feel any discomfort or disgust. On the contrary, I felt a sense of joy and satisfaction after getting revenge. I even felt more at ease with this body.
This shows that the original owner of this body, the eldest daughter of the Alban family, had no affection for her father whatsoever, only resentment and the desire to kill him.
It's truly a case of a loving father and a filial daughter; even Su Su was shocked.
For some unknown reason, after killing her father, her whole body felt refreshed, as if she had just taken a shower and put on brand new underwear. She really felt like she was in her original body. According to the indicators specified by Xue's Law, the compatibility of her possession has now reached over 80%.
Unlike Xue's Law, the current fit is only around 70% at most.
……
Just as the city lord had predicted, the main force of the Orben family who had returned were all hesitant and fearful, afraid that something might happen to the family head.
If the head of the family dies here because of them, then the Albanian family will investigate and none of them will escape.
So the two sides were stuck there, one side was the Alban family members who dared not make a move, and the other side was the city guards who had no confidence at the moment. The two sides exchanged local trash talk and were completely caught in a stalemate.
Meanwhile, some members of the Alban family began to sense something was amiss. The patriarch's appearance didn't seem to indicate he was alright. Could it be that the patriarch was actually dead, and the city lord was merely holding his corpse?
This idea is rising in the minds of more and more people, after all, the head of the family under the city lord has not uttered a single word or spoken a single sentence to them.
Soon after Su Su arrived with her people, the Alban family seemed to have found their backbone.
"Everyone, my father... he may already be dead..." Su Su lowered her head and then remained silent.
At this moment, Xue Dinglu stepped forward and said, "Confirming this matter is actually very simple. All the city lord needs to do is have the family head say a word."
The others nodded in agreement, and many even had ulterior motives.
If the head of the family dies, who has the right to inherit?
Miss!
So, in this war, will they be able to become the young lady's confidants, or even rise to become trusted confidants who are granted her surname?
It's getting cold, young lady, would you like to put on another layer of clothing?
An unknown ambition seemed to ignite at this moment; all they wanted was to possess the surname Alban, for only with this surname would they be true nobles.
However, they did not show these thoughts outwardly, and each of them was heartbroken for the family head.
After the discussion, they indeed sent someone to confront the city lord and demand that the head of the family say a word.
The city lord was completely dumbfounded. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, after a few struggles and incoherent ramblings, he simply threw the corpse out. At that moment, the entire Orben family was in an uproar.
After Xue Lude whispered something in Su Su's ear, the little witch immediately understood what to say next and shouted, "Everyone, avenge Father! Avenge the patriarch! Whoever kills the city lord and takes his head will be granted the surname Orben!"
In that instant, all the remaining peripheral members of the Alban family went mad.
They wanted to change their surname to Alban for the rest of their lives, so that they would be true nobles, even hereditary nobles, instead of just commoners. They had worked hard for the Alban family for this very moment.
The chances of changing one's surname to Alban are extremely rare. Usually, only those who are outstanding enough to be regarded differently by the family will be allowed to marry women from a branch of the family to these peripheral members, thus allowing their descendants to bear the Alban surname.
Now, it's not that their descendants will bear the surname Alban, but that they themselves have the opportunity to possess this noble surname, and their descendants will always be nobles!
They went mad!
The city lord was also horrified by the bloodthirsty members of the Alban family, and he finally mobilized his personal guards to prepare for battle.
Unfortunately, he had only brought a few hundred personal guards with him, and he was traveling light. Moreover, his power was not as great as that of the Alban family. Now, when faced with the Alban family's strongest guard force attacking recklessly, his chances of survival were already slim.
Hundreds of people were slaughtered. In the chaos, the city lord was also killed, and his head was snatched by a member with only hero-level strength. He shouted excitedly, "Hehe, I got it! I'm going to change my surname to Orben!"
However, his smugness lasted less than a second before he was betrayed by his comrade. He couldn't even utter a word, and his comrade said, "If you can't handle it, leave it to me!"
However, the moment the head was in his hands, he was stabbed in the back by another man.
In an instant, they went berserk, only those who obtained the heads would have the chance to gain noble status, while the rest didn't know when they would have such an opportunity again.
They didn't know if this was their only chance in their lives to completely shed their social status and become nobles!
Even Xue Lude, who devised this wicked plan, never imagined that people in this world would have such a fanatical desire to become nobles.
He was not from this world, and even had prejudices against the aristocratic class of this world, so he thought this was just a vicious scheme to divide the existing members of the Alban family.
But for the people of this world, this is one of the few opportunities in their lives to leap across social classes and become superior to others!
Many of them were raised by the Alban family from childhood, while others were mystics who had awakened innate magical abilities and were recruited by the Alban family. But no matter what, they were all outsiders, peripheral members, and never true nobles.
If they acquired the surname Alban, then from his generation onwards, the family tree would be rewritten, and they would completely escape the class of commoners and become true noblemen.
For the people of this world, this is an unparalleled blessing, and the dream that all of them pursue throughout their lives.
From nobody to nobleman!
Such thinking is completely incomprehensible to Xue Dinglu, who lived under the red flag. If he had lived in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and experienced the Nine-Rank System, where one had to risk everything to make a name for oneself in order to become an official, even resorting to bizarre and strange things like lying on ice to catch carp, burying one's child to support one's mother, or selling oneself to bury one's father, he might have understood the madness of people in this world for noble surnames.
After all, for an ordinary person in this world to become a noble is ten thousand times more difficult than the Nine-Rank System!
And so, for this head, the members of the Alban family began to fight each other, for this only chance to change their surname, for their descendants to no longer be of lowly status, and for becoming superior people...
Hehe, I'm determined to get the head! Anyone who stands in my way, even my family and friends, I'll kill them all!
So, even Xue Lude, who came up with this insidious plan, felt that an absurd scene had occurred. In order to seize this head, the remaining peripheral members of the Alban family immediately started fighting each other. Former colleagues had now become enemies, and a most primitive and bloody killing and struggle ensued.
Even if a near-Tier 4 person manages to snatch the head, they will instantly become the target of everyone's attacks and be killed by their own comrades the next moment.
Here, no one is a friend, everyone is an enemy!
"Su... Belle, hurry up and go stop them. Just stand at a distance and make them stop," Xue Dinglu said.
Su Su immediately understood what Xue Dinglu meant and started shouting from outside, "Stop! Stop it! Don't fight anymore..."
However, she was still quite far from the bloody battlefield, her figure completely obscured by the carnage. She resembled a young lady who, having just grasped the power of her family, was utterly overwhelmed by the current situation and lost all composure. Only after everyone in the group realized the head was missing did they stop the killing and desperately search for it.
However, the heads had been completely lost in the killing and fighting. They may have been accidentally smashed, or they may have been mixed in with the corpses and limbs scattered on the ground, making it impossible to tell who was who.
Similarly, the Orben family's original fighting force of nearly a thousand people is now reduced to less than one-tenth, with the remaining people still desperately searching for the city lord's head among the piles of corpses...
Faust saw everything, and at that moment, he felt only fear.
The incident was now coming to an end. Throughout the entire ordeal, Xue Law only intervened when rescuing Miss Alban.
Even so, it was only members of the Akatsuki organization who made the move; Xue Luding didn't use even the slightest bit of his power. And yet, now that the city lord is dead, the Orben family has almost lost its life force.
The sole heir, Belle Alban, was also completely possessed by the little witch and became her little follower.
From beginning to end, Xue's Law was like sitting by the river, simply watching the surface of the water, while all the enemies fought each other, and the corpses flowed by the riverbank...
So this is the Apostle...?
It was only then that Faust truly grasped the meaning of Schrödinger's title of "Apostle".
So this is the apostles' wicked scheme...?
As he thought this, he suddenly realized how ridiculous and mild everything he had done in the past, even his struggle against Mephisto, had been. In the eyes of a true apostle, the methods and insidious schemes required for a struggle were crystal clear...
Xue's Law, without firing a single shot, completely wiped out the two largest forces in Roland City: the Aulbone family and the city lord's family. Was he really that radical when he couldn't implement reforms despite opposition from others?
Can I really still be considered radical?
Faust fell silent, and for some reason, a chill ran down his spine.
As the sun sets, this farce is finally coming to an end.
Meanwhile, in the main seat of the Alban family's main courtyard, Su Su sat in the seat symbolizing the head of the family, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
There was no way around it; she was too short, and the chair was 1.4 meters high. She even had to stand on a small stool to sit in the main seat.
Below, several people covered in blood held different heads and said, "This is the city lord's head!"
"That's fake, the one I have is the city lord's head!"
"You're all fake, what I have now is the real one!"
More than a dozen city lords' heads appeared in the main hall. They were all holding a rotten head with an indistinct face, arguing with each other, their pupils revealing a fierce light, as if they regarded each other as their father's killer.
If Susu hadn't been there, they probably would have continued fighting until only one person remained.
At this moment, Xue Dinglu whispered a few more words in Su Su's ear. Su Su stood on the small stool and said, "Everyone, I don't know which one is the real head, but the master's messenger will arrive tomorrow, and the master's people will decide then. You should take your respective heads back first and wait for the master's people to come and confirm."
After those words were spoken, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Many of them had something to hide, and they were just trying to take advantage of the situation by randomly picking someone to claim as the city lord's head. Some even suspected that the person in the hands of others around them might actually be the real head.
Amidst the ulterior motives of almost everyone, Su Su said, "Father's murder is something no one wanted to see. Now, I am the only one who can become the head of the Orben family in Roland City. Who among you agrees and who opposes?"
No one would object at this time, after all, the core members of the Alban family had been almost wiped out by the city lord. Now, in the branch family of Roland City, only the eldest daughter truly bears the Alban surname. Moreover, the main family would be coming tomorrow, so they dared not object at all.
"Then let's take in Father's body and bury him tomorrow with the master as witness. Also, the bodies in the mansion should be taken back..." Su Su began to arrange the next steps one by one, following the method Xue Lude had taught her.
The few remaining members of the Alban family began to carry out the order. They may have had their own ulterior motives, or they may have already figured out how to steal the heads from those around them, but for now, they all obeyed and left, waiting for the arrival of the master's people the next day.
At the same time, Su Su continued, but this time her words were outside of Xue Dinglu's plan.
"Today, I fell in love with Mr. Xue, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, at first sight. My father's last wish was for us to marry. Today, with everyone as our witness, Brother Lu becomes Mrs. Alban. The wedding will be arranged after the main family arrives, but from today onwards, seeing Brother Lu is the same as seeing me!"
"Yes, Master!" The people below immediately pledged their loyalty.
At this moment, Xue's law had a big question mark above its head.
"Brother Lu, put that ring that represents the Alban family on my hand and kiss the back of my hand." Su Su revealed a smug smile.
Xue Law: "..."
He wondered if the child was just being mischievous. She hadn't had a father's guidance since she was little, which meant she had never tried Seven Wolves snacks, so she wanted to be naughty now.
But at least in public, Xue Dinglu still gave Su Su a lot of face. In fact, at this moment, he couldn't refuse, otherwise the whole plan would collapse.
So, under Su Su's devilish expression and in Xue Luding's deadpan gaze, he silently approached the head of the table, following the etiquette instructed by Faust, and took out the ring representing the head of the Alban family.
Su Su cooperated perfectly, extending her ring finger.
Xue Law: "..."
"In your world, does this thing have any finger requirements?" Xue Dinglu hurriedly asked Faust, the local expert.
Faust, meanwhile, watched the seemingly flirtatious couple with equal anguish, feeling like a third wheel, unable to look away...
“No… you can wear it on any finger you want…” Faust immediately closed his eyes. He couldn’t bear to look; it was too offensive. He shouldn’t be here; he should be underground.
As Xue Luding watched Su Su arrogantly extend her ring finger, with a large number of Orben family members still watching this scene, he could only remain silent and put the ring on her finger.
“My lady, now kiss the back of my hand,” Su Su continued.
Xue's Law was like kissing a dog on the lips, or giving the back of his hand a quick, perfunctory kiss.
With this, everything was settled. The city lord had become history, and the Alban family had been severely weakened. The only remaining daughter of the Alban family married into the Akatsuki organization and received their full support, becoming the head of the Alban family in Roland City.
Meanwhile, members of the original Auburn family also seized the heads of more than a dozen city lords, and they all seemed to be able to advance in social class.
Everything is over, and it seems everyone has a bright future ahead.
After returning to the consciousness space, Xue Lude silently drew out Seven Wolves... (End of this chapter)
