my ice and fire sister

The young man who appeared in the hall was naturally Li Tian who arrived last. He attended the birth banquet of the head of the Raymond family as the Pope of the Holy See.

It's just that he was dressed in casual clothes, and he couldn't see any clothes related to the Pope.

Li Tian also thought about wearing the Pope's white robe and holding a Pope's scepter in his hand, it must be very cool.

But he came to help Alice, not to show off, so he gave up a very good chance to pretend.

When he appeared in the hall, everyone's eyes were stolen.When Alice saw it, there was a lot of surprise in her eyes.

He finally came and he didn't give up on me!

Li Tian walked into the hall slowly. Although the pope's enthronement ceremony had been broadcast all over the world, and many people knew Li Tian, ​​the new Pope of the Holy See, it didn't mean everyone knew about it.

Apano, the most respected elder of the Raymond family, is one of them. He has seen photos of the new pope.But the old man's memory is not very good. Looking at Li Tian who suddenly appeared at this moment, he said with anger on his face:

"Who are you and why did you appear in my Raymond family!"

Li Tian took out the invitation letter from his pocket with a smile, shook it and said, "I didn't come here uninvited, I have an invitation card."

The invitation card in Li Tian's hand was quickly sent to Apano by the Raymond family. When he saw the name in the invitation card, Apano's face changed, and the person who came was actually the new pope of the Holy See. !

The Raymond family attaches great importance to the cooperation with the Holy See. The Holy See has an extremely extensive influence in the world, and the Holy See's business is also spread all over the world.The combination of the two is beneficial and harmless.

Although Apano is old, but his head is still clear, he immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him personally.

Before Baker held the ceremony of becoming the head of the family, Apano was still the biggest figure in the family.

"It turns out that His Majesty the Pope of the Holy See has arrived. Please forgive me for my negligence just now!"

Apano walked over with his old body dragging, his face full of apologies.Li Tian naturally wouldn't care about an old man, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry I didn't come until now, I wonder if it's too late?"

"Of course not, His Majesty the Pope is too polite." Apano said quickly.

The corner of Li Tian's mouth curved slightly, secretly thinking that the status of the pope is still somewhat useful, at least others have to be polite to him in front of others.

Randolph is now focusing on the cause of Hobert's death. Although he also knows that Li Tian is no longer what he used to be, he can't care less about walking over and saying, "Li Tian, ​​just now you said that what Alice said The words are all true, do you already know the real cause of Hobert's death?"

Apano didn't like Randolph calling Li Tian's name directly, but the mayor of New York City also had a high status.Furthermore, Li Tian himself did not show any displeasure, so he heard him say: "Mayor Randolph, we are best friends, aren't we? Do you think I am a person who likes to deceive friends?"

Randolph said in his heart that you are not to blame, and said with a little urgency on his face: "Li Tian, ​​you should tell everything you know, I think everyone is very concerned about this matter now."

Baker also followed closely and said with a playful face: "Yes, Mr. Li, although I know that you have always had opinions on me, this is not your right to slander me at will. Even if you are the Pope, but here It's the Raymond family, not St. Peter's Cathedral!"

When Li Tian's identity was revealed by Apano, many of the women in the hall who had been staring at Baker all looked over.

In terms of appearance, Li Tian is slightly inferior to Baker.

But compared to his status, Li Tian was far ahead of Baker.

The Pope of the Holy See, who has a huge influence all over the world, can make hundreds of millions of devout believers worship him with a wave of his arms. He, Baker, is dying and does not know how many people will worship him.But this is still the Raymond family after all, and the Pope's authority still cannot be affected.

Seeing everyone's questioning eyes, Li Tian just smiled faintly and said to Alice on the high platform: "Alice, now is the time for you to present evidence."

A sneer appeared on Alice's face, but there was still a bit of pain in those beautiful eyes.

"During the two days when my father had an accident, I stayed with Baker in the hospital. When I was with him, I installed a bugging device in his ward because of some speculation. On that day, Li... His Majesty the Pope also came to visit Baker in consideration of his relationship with my father, and he said that a lady named Lucia might know the real reason for my father's death. When His Majesty the Pope left, I heard this... "

"Master Cairns, there is a woman named Lucia who may know the truth of the matter, she must die!"

This passage was released from Alice's mobile phone, and it was also the words that Baker asked Keynes to get rid of Lucia.When hearing this, everyone including Baker was shocked.

Although it was just a recording, it was actually Baker's voice in the recording!

"Baker, you actually killed Hobert!" Apano glared at Baker in disbelief and shouted angrily.

Baker's face was extremely pale, and he was always curious why Li Tian could detect that he would let Keynes get rid of Lucia that night.It turns out that it is difficult to guard against house thieves by day and night!

But does this make Baker admit defeat?impossible!

Baker kept thinking of ways in his mind, and finally with a flash of inspiration, Baker calmed down and said, "Maybe everyone doesn't know the true relationship between Alice and His Majesty the Pope. Well, my sister has always been I like His Majesty the Pope very much, and they are saying that Lucia knew the cause of my father's death. Grandpa Apano, Alice is my own sister. She not only opposes me becoming the head of the family, but also unites with the Pope. Woke up, I wonder if Alice wants to unite with outsiders to invade our Raymond family!"

Apano attaches great importance to the relationship with the Holy See, but it does not mean that he will stand on Li Tian's side when the family foundation is endangered.Baker's words are not without some truth. The most important thing in a big family is to resort to various intrigues and tricks for power and status.If Alice really joined forces with Li Tian to take away everything from the Raymond family, then he had to be cautious.

Alice also didn't expect that Baker would resort to such despicable and shameless means to deny it at this time. Fortunately, she and Li Tian had already prepared in their hearts that Baker would not be overthrown so easily, but Li Tian has not used it so far. Playing his real hole card, Alice couldn't help but look over.

Li Tian still looked at Baker with a playful face. There is a saying that you will not die until you reach the Yellow River, and there is also a saying that you will not shed tears until you see the coffin. This is the case with Baker who is full of pride!

Li Tian didn't continue talking, but went to the place where the food was placed in the hall and took a sip of a glass of red wine.When Alice and Randolph saw this, they both wanted to punch this guy, but they were still greedy for what they had in their cups!

"Li Tian, ​​I know you won't say such things casually. If you have evidence, please show it. If not, then don't interfere with the affairs of the Raymond family!" Randolph said very seriously.

Alice also said very solemnly: "Li, I have chosen to trust you completely, do you really not care at all?"

Li Tian looked up at an ancient clock hanging on the wall of the hall, and said with a smile: "Alice, Randolph, you don't need to worry, we just need to wait quietly for someone to come. Oh, that's right." , Mr. Apano and Master Baker, you can continue what you haven't finished just now."

Apano's heart finally burst into unbearable anger. Even though you are the Pope, you can't play tricks like everyone is a fool?

With a cold snort, Apano returned to the high platform again, and said: "It was just a joke between His Majesty the Pope and Alice. I have already announced the new head of the family to everyone, so now it will be based on my Raymond family. The ceremony made Baker truly become the head of the family!"

As Apano's voice fell, Baker knelt in front of the portrait of the first patriarch of the family amidst a burst of solemn music, listening to Apano reading the warnings of the family's ancestors.

After the tedious procedures one after another were over, Baker had truly become the new head of the Raymond family.

Baker has always been in a bad mood because of Li Tian's last sentence of waiting for someone to come, but no one showed up until then, and the Patriarch's succession ceremony was completed without any difficulty.He was in a good mood suddenly, and looked at Li Tian and Alice again provocatively.

Alice's beautiful face was already a little pale, and even Li Tian became a little impatient in his heart at this moment, thinking to himself, Hobert, why don't you come!

Baker stood in front of the stage and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for coming to my succession ceremony. Although some farce happened, I have successfully become the new Patriarch. Thank you again for your support. I promise to never From now on, the Raymond family will always be friendly with everyone, and I will do my best to make the family more prosperous and brilliant!"

"Here I will talk about some of my decisions after becoming the head of the family. The Raymond family will cancel all investment in Huaxia. The Huaxia company is too weak to cooperate with us. They have no way to bring benefits to our family. This is My father made a mistake in decision-making, so I must correct it! Second, according to my father's last wish, the Raymond family will form the most friendly relationship with the Bestow family in the future, and Alice will also form a relationship with the Bestow family in a week. Master Bobby is engaged, I hope everyone will be there to bless them!"

After Baker finished speaking, Alice's whole body went limp, and her lips squirmed to say "I object", but she didn't have any strength.

However, to everyone's surprise, another person walked in from the door.When the man appeared in everyone's sight, he just said lightly:

"I object as the eighth Patriarch of the Raymond family!"

The voice was flat but loud, and as the voice fell, Alice's eyes widened in disbelief, and she shouted loudly:

"father!"
