There were more than a dozen people sitting in the council hall.
They are all influential figures on the island, including several hall masters and elders in charge of different branches.
At the top, on the left and right sat Elder Mu and the Ten Elders from the main house.
Compared to the ten elders who have accumulated power on the island for decades, the old man sitting at the top on the right looks kind and has a smile on his face all the time, and seems easy to get along with.
There were several people sitting behind him, who were also the leaders of relatively weaker gangs on the island.
One of the hall masters spoke rudely, breaking the silence of the council hall.
"So what you mean is that Ying Shi and his team failed in their mission and were captured by others, is that what you mean?"
The Tenth Elder glanced at him and said calmly, "Yes."
The hall master was very bold: "In this case, there is no need to keep him on the island. After all, the island does not want useless people."
An elder behind the Ten Elders laughed, "Hehe, that's a very good point. But if I remember correctly, he went to Continent F at the behest of Elder Mu. I just want to ask Elder Mu why he wanted to get involved in Nie Qingru's family affairs and make things like this."
Shadow Ten is no ordinary shadow guard.
His origin is much nobler than that of Bori, Adam and others.
The island's own people.
The eldest grandson of the Ying family.
He is a descendant of the island with a good family background, similar to Elena, but the Ying family made their fortune as bodyguards, so their bloodline is not as noble as Elena's.
But he is not an ordinary person.
The person who started to direct the anger at Mu Lao this time was Ying Shi's grandmother, who was also one of the eight elders on the island.
She has always stood in the camp of the Ten Elders and is a staunch supporter. However, her grandson has been fascinated by the little girl from the Elena family since he was a child. He worships her very much and regards her as a goddess.
That would have been fine, but this time he went to Continent F to carry out the so-called mission of the eldest branch of the family without telling her.
The island is said to be one family.
But the first and second wives are in two camps.
Ying Shi, he had the chance to refuse to go.
But this kid just listened to Elena and really believed that there was no filth on the island and that everyone should unite and live in peace.
It would be great if Elena herself could do the same as what was said and be impartial and act as a middleman.
But he himself is very ambitious.
She kept jumping back and forth between the first and second wives, and only her stubborn grandson couldn't see it. He was so fooled by everyone else's talk that he couldn't tell the difference at all!
Now something went wrong.
How could she not be angry
"I heard that Elena is also in Continent F. Could it be that this operation was planned by Elena and you, Mr. Mu? Why didn't you inform everyone?"
She was full of resentment and spoke very harshly.
After the name of the eldest branch of the family was mentioned twice in succession, the smiling old man could no longer play dumb and came forward to speak calmly.
"Elena has been studying abroad, everyone knows this, and she went to Continent F this time to travel with her classmates. There is no special meaning."
Then he changed the subject and said immediately, "I know Elder Ying is not so satisfied with me, but there is indeed no conspiracy this time. At that time, the queen of the hidden family came to me and asked me to help save someone. She offered half of the shares of Smith Bank... I thought it was just saving someone, not a big deal, so I agreed."
