With an unchanged expression, Jian Luo glanced at the second elder. A thoughtful flash crossed through his eyes when he looked at the great elder beside him, who remained silent.

Black Jack glared at him, his eyes dark: “So, what are the elders trying to say?”

“Count, we cannot intervene in your marriage. But you must think carefully about the matter of succession. With the advancement of medical science, finding a woman to act as a surrogate mother is not a bad idea,” said the third elder.

At these words, a deathly silence fell with a chilling atmosphere over the Elder Pavilion.

Suddenly, a low laugh was heard.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a slight smile lingering at the corners of the man seated at the head of the table, leaving them unsure about his thoughts.

Did they provoke him?

Clearly, they were thinking too much.

Jian Luo raised his fingers, gently tapping on the table, creating a crisp sound.

“The eloquence of the elders is quite enlightening to me. You all are so devoted to the Sophallo Family, it feels quite touching,” he laughed, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

Surrogacy?

Quite thoughtful and perfect of them to suggest.

His voice suddenly became cold, sending chills down everyone’s spine: “However, I am afraid I am going to disappoint you all. The one I am fond of, I won’t tolerate anyone else’s part in it. Whoever dares to intervene, I will chop him down into pieces, burying him in the soil to serve as fertilizer for flowers.”

They must think themselves too clever. Even though they beat around the bush, their actual intentions were nothing more than shoving the granddaughter or daughter of their chosen aristocratic family into the arms of Black Jack. These outdated old fools, he was not going to be polite with them.

His arrogant attitude and audacious words made the elders’ faces shift colors between red and purple, almost like a palette.

“Jian Luo, you…” even the usually calm second elder slammed the table and rose to his feet, no longer able to hide his anger.

It was too outrageous. Clearly, they were not considered important in his eyes.

Jian Luo crossed his arms, looking relaxed and waiting for him to finish his outburst.

“Jian Luo, we did not oppose your marriage to the Count. We just want to ensure the future of the Sophallo Family. So, we advised the Count to find a woman to surrogate a child. Are you really going to have a problem with that?” said the second elder, clearly irritated.

“Indeed, you are quite right,” Jian Luo changed his position, crossing his legs over each other, appearing more languid than before.

“But I fear you have misunderstood one thing. My marriage to Black Jack has never been a matter of dispute for your intervention. Black Jack is the one I have set my sights on. Who dares to find him a woman to bear his child would face my relentless retribution, and with no mercy.”

He raised his head, and in the icy depths of his eyes lay a hint of bloody cruelty.

The second elder looked at him and was alarmed at the glimpse of cruelty that flashed through his eyes. An image of Jian Qing appeared in his mind immediately.

Such arrogance and pride, they resembled each other to the core.

“Jian Luo, don’t go too far. Are you not afraid of embarrassments? I just can’t believe that the Jian Family would approve of your behavior!” the sixth elder stood up abruptly, his voice filled with anger.

He did not believe that the Jian Family could tolerate Jian Luo being with a man. Could Jian Qing really not care about the face of the Jian Family?

“What if I do cross the line? If you have the guts, why don’t you beat me,” Jian Luo gave him a sidelong glance, and smirked, “Whether the Jian Family gets humiliated or not, is none of your business, Elder Six. All I know is that, we won’t tolerate even a speck of sand in our eyes in the Jian Family. So, you elders better save your energy and live your own lives peacefully. Don’t put yourself too much into this, and especially don’t covet the one I set my eyes on. You should know that, when I’m in a bad mood, I like to cause troubles for others.”

Black Jack lowered his eyes and looked at the chestnut hair, listening to his audacious words. He found it particularly adorable and everything about him seemed perfect.

The elders in the Elder Pavilion were all furious. Except for the great elder, everyone else glared at Jian Luo with fiery eyes.

They had lived for so many years, but never had they been humiliated or threatened so openly and directly. It was indeed an eye-opener.

What made them more angry was that they could not even refute him.

To fight him? That was absolutely impossible. Even if all of them were tied together, they wouldn’t be enough to fight him. Moreover, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant. With the powerful backing of Jian Qing, if they messed with him, the witch Jian Qing would surely give them a hard time; not to mention, Black Jack was also on his side.

“Why aren’t the elders speaking?” Jian Luo asked with a smirk, “Does your silence suggest your agreement with what I just said?”

“…”

The elders’ faces turned green, and they gritted their teeth in hatred.

His threat was so explicit, what else could they say?

Suddenly, all the elders turned their attention to the great elder. From the beginning to the end, he had not said a word, that wasn’t normal.

“Great Elder, what is your opinion?” the fifth elder asked.

The great elder, now under the gaze of everyone, had no other choice but to give a response. He couldn’t help but curse the fifth elder for putting him in this situation.

Knowing the personalities of both Black Jack and the formidable Jian Luo, what else could he say?

Black Jack raised his eyes and looked at the great elder. The warning in his eyes was evident. Seeing Black Jack’s gaze, the great elder cleared his throat lightly.

He sat up straight, his face serious: “Any decision made by the count should be supported by us in the Elder Pavilion. The count is prudent by nature, and every decision he makes is beneficial to our Sophallo family. So, the elders, please refrain from further comments.”

“…”

The other elders almost vomited blood at the great elder’s words. They initially thought he would say some inspiring words with his serious look, but he only said that?

Black Jack looked at the great elder approvingly. Jian Luo also had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. This great elder was rather opportunistic.

“Great Elder, what about the issue of the successor?” the second elder asked unwillingly.

The great elder looked at the second elder and felt like killing him. Were these blind people not able to see that Black Jack was about to lose his temper? Were they intentionally trying to drag him down with them?

“As for the issue of the successor, I believe the count and his spouse surely must have a plan. We should just stick to our roles.” the great elder diplomatically responded.

The second elder looked at the great elder and couldn’t help but secretly curse him for being a scheming old fox. He, the great elder, was indeed a smart man. He had remained silent, and let them offend Black Jack and Jian Luo. Then, he came out at the end to flatter Black Jack, claiming all of the accolades for himself.

The great elder wiped away the sweat from his forehead when he saw Black Jack’s satisfied look. To appease Black Jack, he had managed to offend the rest of the elders.
