Chapter 69 Kaslana with mixed feelings

"The time is almost up. Is he planning to be late for the first time?"

Looking at his watch with some impatience, Andrew muttered to his cousin beside him with an unhappy expression.

However, before his cousin could speak, an elderly man nearby, who was already old but still had sharp eyes and ears, scolded him:

"Don't panic yet, Andrew."

"understood……"

Faced with this old man who was three generations older than him, Andrew, who was not in a good mood, could only shut up.

However, even though he kept his mouth shut, Andrew's gaze towards the door was still not very friendly.

There are many young people like Andrew here.

Moreover, not only the young people, but even some of the elderly people looked towards the gate with scrutiny.

Regardless of age, most of the people present had heard some rumors in the past few days that the position of patriarch of the Kaslana family, which had been vacant for several years, might soon be taken, but that person would not be a member of any current branch of the family, but a bloodline that had been scattered abroad.

Although the source of the news is still unknown, it is well-documented and everyone has heard the rumor, so it is very likely to be true.

It should be noted that although the Kaslana family often had their heads and outstanding members die on the battlefield, the family tree was still quite complete after being passed down for hundreds of years.

The so-called bloodline that is lost outside is almost certainly an illegitimate child in the conventional sense.

The young people did not want to comment on the evil deeds committed by their uncles or aunts, of which they did not know.

In fact, young people who are not very interested in the old etiquette and rules don’t mind accepting each other back into the family. After all, everyone has the same blood in their veins, and it would be bad to prevent their blood-related brothers from even worshipping their ancestors.

However, if this illegitimate child not only wanted to return to the family, but also wanted to directly take the position of clan leader that had been vacant for years...

Although the ancient clan system's control over people has declined in modern society, young people still don't like to have someone controlling them, even in name only.

Especially when this person is not a respected elder, but an illegitimate child who is despised in the universal values.

No one objects to your return to the family, but if you act like a bully as soon as you come back, people will inevitably get angry.

Moreover, although most of these young people have mediocre talents and are not even trained to be warriors against Honkai, but live like ordinary people, they still established a basic understanding of Honkai and a sense of honor for their surnames from the older generation.

Gwyn, an outsider who was suspected of intending to reach the top of the Kaslana family with the help of external forces, was also suspected of insulting Kaslana's honor in the eyes of the young people.

As for the older generation appearing relatively calm, it’s not that they have no opinion on this.

However, these old men, who had accumulated the wisdom of time as they grew older, sensed a conspiracy from the news that had spread rapidly in the past few days.

Although they were all naive when they were young, as they grew older, the ties of family made them gradually put away their innate impulsiveness and become more stable.

Therefore, after the initial excitement, most of these calmer old people also realized that something was wrong.

Even if everyone was interacting with each other on a daily basis, the news spread so widely that everyone knew about it within just a few days. It was obvious that there was someone behind this.

Moreover, the only person who could stir up trouble in Kaslana's house like this was, unsurprisingly, the Archbishop of Destiny who was hiding on the floating island.

After coming to this conclusion, these old men, who were all part of the destiny when they were young, had to force themselves to calm down.

Even though he was just a low-level member of the Tianming family when he was young, combined with the attitude of the previous head of the family towards Otto and the experience of the previous head of the family, these old people can vaguely realize what Otto means to the current Kaslana family.

Although they were angry that their once glorious family was now at the mercy of others, the elders, who cared more about the lives of their loved ones, could only sigh helplessly in the face of the irresistible Otto.

As long as the other party is indeed a descendant of the Kaslana family, they can recognize him even if Otto doesn't find a blond, green-eyed Apokalis to be the head of the Kaslana family.

The old people could even comfort themselves that Kaslana was once the People's Shield, and it would seem too decadent if the head of the family was allowed to be taken over by ordinary young people. It would not be a bad idea to have a promising young man who was said to be able to cooperate with others to defeat the Emperor-level Honkai Beast as the head of the family.

However, when the old people used their past relationship to further inquire about the news about Gwyn, this trace of self-consolation seemed to become ridiculous -

In just over a year, he had gone from a frail ordinary person to an A-rank knight capable of fighting against an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, and even among them, the highly regarded Ganesha...

Are you fucking kidding me?

This isn't the era of hundreds of years ago, when the manifestations of Honkai were merely infected, alienated beasts, and a seasoned elite like Kaslana could be rated A-rank.

Under such concerns, the elders acquiesced and even promoted this family gathering, wanting to test Gwyn's ability. Even if he was only half as strong as the rumors said, for the sake of the family's continuation and the lives of their family members, they would just pinch their noses and accept it.

Although the young people present had not received any training as Honkai Warriors, they all had a good foundation and could easily defeat several ordinary people.

Even with a B-rank in the current Destiny rating, it would be difficult to knock down all these young people without causing fatal injuries without the help of equipment.

The old people all know that in the current level evaluation, the combat power provided by equipment is taken into account and accounts for a very large proportion.

As long as Gwyn reaches the elite strength of Class B after more than a year of training, the old people can use the genius to comfort themselves and even appease the young people.

Just as more and more eyes were looking outside, a figure quietly came into their sight on the road coming from the direction of the gate.

Seeing the conspicuous white hair, the old people breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was no blond-haired, green-eyed Apokalis like there was when Theresa, who had obvious Kaslana's features, took over the Apokalis family.

As Gwyn moved forward, the distance between the two sides gradually shortened. The Kaslanas in the hall could also feel Gwyn's heavy and steady temperament, which made some people who were worried that the plot of villains taking advantage of others' power to seize property in literary works happen in Kaslana's family feel relieved.

Finally, under the complicated gazes, Gwen stepped into the hall and met gazes that were either scrutinizing or slightly hostile.

I'm still working on three more chapters today, so I'll just make up for it...

Chapter 70: Get together

"There's only some hostility, but not the kind of malice that wants to get rid of them as soon as possible..."

Released his mental strength, feeling the emotions of everyone present, Gwen sighed in his heart,

"It seems that I have been judging others by my own standards."

"..."

Kevin wanted to remain silent about this, but he finally spoke up.

“The world is not as beautiful as people imagine, but it is often not as bad as people imagine…”

"Yes, the world is often still a beautiful place...

But preparing for the worst can at least prevent you from getting hurt or feeling sad and disappointed."

He responded softly to Kevin's words in his mind, and scanned the entire room, meeting each of the gazes that were either hostile or scrutinizing.

No matter what the other party's attitude was, Gwyn's gaze was always as calm as water, as unmoved as the silent earth.

The brief eye contact allowed some sensitive people to put their worries aside.

As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

They did not notice the greed or covetousness in Gwyn's eyes as they had expected. The calm look even diluted the resentment some people had towards Gwyn.

However, Gwyn did not have the domineering aura that would make people bow down to him. It was impossible for him to make these people who held grudges sincerely convinced with just a simple eye contact.

Some impulsive young people even regard it as a disregard for themselves and others.

However, before these people could speak, Gwen spoke first -

"Gentlemen, young men of the Kaslana family, hello. My name is Gwyn, and I am very happy to meet you here today, my people who share the same bloodline as me.

Please forgive me for the damage my brain suffered in a collapse last year. I have lost most of my past memories. I can't remember the names of my father or mother, and I can't figure out how to address you.

So please just call me by my first name."

Gwyn spoke loudly, looking around the audience, and found that some people's eyes softened a little, but there were also some people whose faces became even uglier, obviously taking it as a warning.

However, Gwen did not care about this. Without waiting for the other Kaslanas present to speak, he continued:

"Judging from your expressions, you should know something about me, but please allow me to briefly introduce myself.

According to the Valkyrie who rescued me, I was a survivor they rescued from a small town in Hasberg County, Bavaria.

The results of the bone age test show that I am now seventeen years old.

After being discharged from the hospital last year, I began my Valkyrie training.

At the end of last year, he officially became a C-class knight.

In this year's summer assessment, he was promoted to B-level knight.

Three days ago, I was promoted to A-rank Knight because of my achievements in fighting against the Emperor-level Honkai Beast Ganesha ten days ago..."

Gwen spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but it made it difficult for everyone to interrupt. Then, because of the battle record Gwen described, everyone looked incredulous.

Except for a few old men, most of the people present did not know Gwyn's resume, but they had a vague understanding of the rating of the Destiny and the strength of the Honkai Beast, and knew what it meant if what Gwyn said was true.

However, it was precisely because what Gwyn said was too horrifying that it was difficult to convince people.

After digesting the contents of Gwen's words, many people frowned and looked at Gwen with unfriendly expressions.

How dare you fool people with such words? Do you really think that we know nothing about Tianming's rating system since we haven't joined Tianming?

However, facing those questioning eyes, Gwen's expression did not change at all, and he continued:

"From the time of Saint Kallen five hundred years ago to the present day, Honkai has grown alongside human development, from the original infected beasts to the current Emperor-class Honkai beasts, and even god-like Herrschers.

In 1952, the first Honkai occurred, leaving almost no one alive in Berlin.

In 2000, the second Honkai erupted. Less than a hundred people survived in the vast Siberia, half of Asia was affected, and several megacities suffered fatal blows.

This is not the end, it's just the beginning——

It is foreseeable that Herrschers born in the future will likely cause equal or even greater destruction.

As the People's Shield, Kaslana couldn't ignore it.

However, fighting against the collapse requires not only passion but also strong strength.

And I... happen to have..."

Gwen's expression gradually grew serious as he spoke words that could easily be interpreted as provocation. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, took off his coat, and casually threw it far away onto the hanger in the corner.

"Of course, I also know that what I said before could easily be regarded as a lie.

So, come on, everyone—

Test whether I am more qualified than you to exercise this power!

I won't use Honkai energy, I'll only use my own strength to deal with you...

If you have ever received basic combat training and theoretical education, you should understand that this can confirm what I said."

"..."
