Chapter 383 The head of the family’s decision
Dozens of miles away from the ruins of the temple, on the originally bare wilderness, a series of standard houses like giant mushrooms appeared.
On the periphery of the house group, a continuous line of defense was formed based on tall towers. Each tower would be guarded by two spiritual masters.
Below the tower, a large number of armed robots and well-equipped genetic cultivators were patrolling day and night.
It is obvious that one or several great figures live in these new houses, otherwise there would not be such a standard of guards.
In a house closer to the center.
Under the warm light, a wisp of mist keeps rising from below. There is a charcoal stove on the simple wooden table. On the stove is an iron pot with a gray appearance. The mist slowly rises from the spout to the roof. under the light.
The white-haired old man wearing gray and black casual clothes stared at the spout, his eyes drifting with the mist.
The young man sitting opposite the old man was Alexander.
Although Alexander did not like this time-consuming and useless tea ceremony, it did not affect his respect for the old man.
"Alexander, are there any results in the Natural Disaster Research Institute? Is our planet really being moved?"
The old man was the first to break the silence in the house.
"Grandpa, the research institute has basically determined that the distance between us and the Yang Star is getting farther and farther, but we are not completely sure whether this is a natural phenomenon or an action of the gods."
Akbar Ivanov, the head of the Ivanov family, is also one of the oldest founders of the Ivanov family.
The old man's expression did not change at all, and he had obviously expected this result.
"The gods are about to return, and we don't have much time left."
When the water boiled, the old man gently lifted the iron kettle, and the scalding hot water slowly flowed down the body of the kettle.
"I will definitely speed up the progress, please don't worry, grandpa."
Alexander looked serious, as if with some determination.
The scalding boiling water slowly flows out from the spout of the pot, and the green tea leaves in the cup slowly unfold.
"Alexander, do you know what is the most important step in tea tasting?"
Alexander shook his head slightly. He didn't like this so-called tea ceremony, so he only knew about it but didn't study it in depth.
At this time, the old man had poured out the tea in the cup and poured in the hot water again. The tea that had been rinsed once did not become dull. Instead, the color of the tea became thicker and thicker, and a faint fragrance of tea began to emit. .
The old man didn't speak, he just drank his tea quietly.
At this time, Alexander noticed the large word JING on the screen behind his grandfather. Although the word was written in a minority script in a remote area, Alexander still recognized it.
Because the tea ceremony that my grandfather has become very fond of in recent years came from there.
Quiet... is it meditation?
Was my grandfather reminding me that my mind was in a state of confusion, and that was why I made such low-level mistakes?
Thinking of this, Alexander began to review his actions in the past few days. He admitted that he might have been affected by his previous experience and underestimated his opponent, which was why he made such a serious mistake.
The old man pushed the brewed tea in front of Alexander: "You are one of the most outstanding children of Ivanov's generation. I am already old. The revitalization of the Ivanov family will eventually fall to you. On my body."
Alexander took it respectfully and should have drank the cup of tea according to etiquette, but when he heard the old man's words, he was stunned for a moment, and his calm heart once again stirred up turmoil.
Is it possible that my grandfather wants to abdicate?
Is the grandfather who has controlled the Ivanov family for more than 100 years about to abdicate?
"Grandpa, don't you..."
In the middle of speaking, Alexander did not continue.
"Times have changed, Alexander." The old man took a sip of tea, as if he didn't care at all how much shock his decision would bring to the Ivanov family.
In fact, after yesterday's high-level federal meeting, he had already had the idea of abdicating the throne, and he was not the only family head who had this idea.
As he said, times have changed, and old guys like them are destined to be eliminated by the times.
"But grandpa, you have always been in good health, and the Ivanov family needs you!"
He was full of respect for the old man in front of him who founded the Ivanov family more than 100 years ago and led the Ivanov family to a firm foothold. He really could not imagine the turmoil that would happen to the Ivanov family without his grandfather. .
His grandfather was a rare ninth-level powerhouse in the world and had a long lifespan. Therefore, his father's generation had no hope of getting ahead. Over time, he had already fallen into disgrace and was no longer useful.
This was clearly evident from his sensual father who only cared about having fun all day long.
When he thought that his father, who had always been unobtrusive, had found a 20-year-old baby mother for him two months ago, Alexander's face became extremely dark.
I'm old enough to be her father, but you still marry someone as a concubine!You really are an old-hearted person.
The head of the Ivanov family can grow from dozens of people to hundreds now, and his fathers are definitely indispensable.
When he thought that after his grandfather abdicated, the Ivanov family would be managed by such a person, Alexander felt that the future was dark.
"Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it now. Don't panic. In this turbulent period, what the Ivanov family needs most is stability."
The old man held the tea bowl in his hand, took a slow sip, exhaled a breath of hot air, and looked up at the incomplete moon. For a moment, Alexander was confused about the old man's thoughts.
But as long as my grandfather is not in a hurry to abdicate, that will be good.
"What about the resuscitation meeting?"
Finally Alexander asked for advice.
As my grandfather said, times have changed, so the attitude towards the Resurrection Society may also have to change. After all, it is this group of people who have the closest connection with the returning gods.
"It's fine as it happens."
From the angle that Alexander couldn't see, the old man's eyes were even more difficult to read.
And after hearing the old man's answer, Alexander didn't understand what this random thing meant at the moment.
Do you want me to continue searching, stop here, or just click here? This random meaning means too many things.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of continuing, Alexander could only bury his doubts in his heart.
The whole room fell silent in an instant, except for the popping sound of the pot lid lifted by the heat.
