Chapter 449

The First Elder’s punishment for Ashley was very severe. He had to be beaten fifty times, winch might almost take his life. The First Elder would take out the voodoo weam in Ashley’s stomach and expel him from the clan. He even had to sit down. Even Duncan and his wife were reprimanded and had to be locked up.

This kind of punishment was simply unimaginably heavy. The Second Elder was shocked, and even some of the clansmen who heard the news were baffled and felt that the punishment was too severe.

Ashley was planning to slap Berry’s face. And he failed. Why was he being. punished so severely?

There was no need for that!

After receiving the news, the Second Elder immediately went to look for the First Elder. The Third and the Fourth Elder also went over.

At the entrance of the First Elder’s residence, the Third Elder and Fourth Elder bumped into each other.

The two of them looked at each other in confusion. They did not understand why the First Elder would do this.

In the room, the Second Elder sat opposite the First Elder. His face was dark, but he did not show any signs of anger.

The atmosphere in the room was strangely quiet.

The Fourth Elder couldn’t take it anymore and was the first to speak. “First Elder, what’s going on? The punishment to Ashley is too severe!”

The Third Elder nodded. “That’s right. Ashley was indeed a little impulsive and needed to be punished openly, but there’s no need to be too harsh.”

The two of them were pleading for leniency on behalf of the Second Elder’s grandson, Ashley.

However, before the First Elder could say anything, the Second Elder stopped him. “I agreed to punish Ashley.”

The Third and Fourth Elders widened their eyes in disbelief.

In the end, it was only after the First Elder explained that the two of them understood what was going on.

The First Elder told him about Olivia’s visit. The Third Elder’s expression turned solemn as he listened.

“She’s too smart. The voodoo comforting incense, the voodoo cond.

song, and even self–made poison. I remember that Berry didn’t receive any systematic learning at all.

Her talent is simply more powerful than Lucy from the Lopez family.”

The Fourth Elder frowned. “The voodoo comforting incense and self–made poison can be explained with intelligence, but the voodoo controlling song is really too unbelievable. Isn’t this thing a legend?

Could it be that the voodoo controlling song really exists in the world?”

The First Elder held the coffee cup in his hand. His eyes were slightly cold as he slowly said, “It might not be a voodoo controlling song.”

What was going on?

Everyone looked at him.

The First Elder pondered for a moment. “Perhaps the golden voodoo worm in her body is helping her.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s expression changed. They were all experienced people, but they were still shocked by the First Elder’s words.

The Third Elder’s voice trembled slightly. “In that case, it’s not the golden voodoo worm that felt threatened and hurt Ashley previously, but it was Berry who controlled the golden voodoo worm to defend herself!”

“Yes.” The First Elder nodded.

Hearing this word, the Third Elder stood up and paced back and forth in the room with a worried expression.

The Fourth Elder’s lips trembled. “Could she be that the Holy Lord?”

The blood drained from the Second Elder’s face.

“There is no Holy Lord!” The First Elder made the final decision. His tone was firm. “There is no Holy Lord in this world. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.” The clansmen didn’t know the true story and had been anticipating the appearance of the Holy Lord, but they, the Four Elders, knew it clearly.

To take away the supreme position of the Holy Lord, the elders of the past generations had worked hard for countless years to take over all the rights of the Holy Lord and turn the Saintess into a blood bag for golden voodoo worm. She completely equaled to food.

They had been in power for so many years, so it was absolutely impossible for them to return the power. Therefore, a Holy Lord could not appear in this world! Absolutely not!

With the First Elder’s words, the Third Elder’s emotions calmed down a little, but he still had doubts.

“First Elder, since we don’t recognize the Holy Lord and Berry is in her growth stage, she shouldn’t be able to completely control the golden voodoo worm now. Why don’t we take the opportunity to suppress her?” “No.” The First Elder shook his head. “We don’t know how far she has gone in controlling the golden voodoo worm. We can’t act rashly. What if we anger her and she dies with the golden voodoo worm? Nothing must happen to the golden voodoo worm.

“Moreover, the Star Competition is coming up soon. We can take this opportunity to use Berry’s talent to earn more benefits for our Flores family. Her talent is not inferior to Lucy from the Lopez family. She will definitely help our family get a big piece of cake.”

The First Fider smiled and did not say anything.

The Fourth Elder came back to his senses and suddenly laughed loudly. “I see, I see.

“What do you mean?” The Third Elder still didn’t understand. He turned to look at the Fourth Elder in confusion.

The Fourth Elder curled his lips and said one word, “Overpraise!”

“That’s right.” The First Elder nodded. His tone was filled with disdain. “Berry is just a little girl who has not experienced much. She would be overwhelmed just because of some delicious food and good clothes. She will be arrogant and insufferable if we arrange people to sow discord around her. Not long after, clansmen will hate her and lose their faith in her.

“Even if a cruel and vicious Saintess is too talented, she won’t have the support of her clansmen.”

The Fourth Elder thought about how he had dealt with Ashley and how the kitchen had tried to curry favor with Berry in the afternoon. He could not help but give him a thumbs up. “Brilliant!”

Just these two matters had already caused the dissatisfaction of many clansmen. Now, many people were muttering that the Saintess was too ruthless to her younger brother. There was also the matter of the kitchen. The Saintess asked more than half of the kitchen staff to make food for her, delaying the food of many people.

The clansmen cook for themselves, and only the people from the Four Elders served by the clan’s kitchen. The Saintess was too much, attracting the attention of many clansmen, who felt that the Saintess was too extravagant and wasteful. The First Elder lowered his eyes and said smugly, “I’m sorry, Ashley.”

The Second Elder said at the right time, “It’s fine. This is a serious matter. It’s a good opportunity to train him so that he won’t be ignorant and incompetent.” The First Elder nodded. “Send him to the Hushe Republic. Stay by the manager of our businesses‘ side in Hushe Republic and learn to manage the family’s businesses.”

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder’s eyes lit up. He knew that the First Elder was compensating Ashley. He hurriedly said, “Then I’ll thank you on behalf of that kid.”

“There’s no need to thank me.” The First Elder waved his hand. “He’s still a descendant of the clan. We naturally have to nurture him well.”

The Hushe Republic had been developing very well in recent years and was vaguely about to become a superpower. The family’s industries in the Hushe Billionape’s Missing Darling Republic were also expanding. Now, their annual revenue had already exceeded 200 million dollars, which was very impressive.

This was a super good place to go!

Seeing that Ashley from the Second Elder’s family had benefited, the Third Elder also had an idea and said, “Just now, you said that he would arrange someone to sow discord and overpraise Berry. What do you think of my Dakota?”

Dakota was the Third Elder’s granddaughter. She was very thoughtful and intelligent, but unfortunately, she was not good at voodoo. The Third Elder had always wanted to find a good job for her so she could take part in the clan’s business, but he had never had the chance to do so.

Now that he saw the chance, it was a good time to send her to the Saintess. When the Saintess was completely destroyed, she would make a huge contribution and let her take part in the clan’s business.

The Third Elder’s true thoughts could not be hidden from the First Elder. However, the First Elder was not in the mood to fuss over such trivial matters. It just so happened that there was no suitable candidate by Berry’s side, so Dakota was selected.
