Anders organized an exclusive gathering with two purposes-to win over them and gather intelligence.
“It’s an honor to have you all at Jadeleaf Manor. Let’s raise our glasses to a toast.” He grinned, lifting his glass for a round of toasts. Seeing this, the attendees, filled with respect, promptly stood up, toasting in return.
After all, the man in their midst was the God of War, the mightiest warrior in Dragonmarsh, and he was also the pride of the Moseys.
Anders was a figure who naturally commanded respect wherever he went, and today’s warm reception pleasantly surprised them.
“Sir Anders, we’re family. Your words make it sound like we’re strangers.
“Besides, if anyone should be toasting, it should be us to you. You are the backbone of the Mosey family!” Scott, seizing the moment, raised his glass passionately.
“Absolutely! Sir Anders, your combat skills are unparalleled, a real asset to the Moseys!” The crowd joined in with praises.
“Haha! Alright, let’s drink!” Anders laughed heartily, downing his glass in one go. Following suit, everyone emptied their glasses.
“Friends, the main reason for having you all here today is to discuss something crucial.”
After the toast, Anders gestured for everyone to sit and got straight to the point. “I’ve heard about recent changes in the Moseys.
“Our godfather unexpectedly assigned that woman to be chief housekeeper. Do you find that woman befitting for such a role?”
At these words, the crowd exchanged glances, some visibly puzzled. Clearly, Anders wasn’t pleased with Dahlia’s rise to power.
“Of course not!” Seeing the hesitation, Scott said, “Dahlia is just a woman from some small town.
“Why should she wield such authority right after joining the Moseys? I think our godfather is truly confused!”
“Scott, choose your words carefully!”
Anders kept a stern expression, pretending to be displeased. “Our godfather is kind and caring. I think someone must have tricked him into making this decision.
“As his godsons, it’s our job to help him see the true nature of these schemers!”
“Sir Anders is absolutely right. That devious Dahlia used sweet words to deceive our godfather. She’s just a schemer!”
In Scott’s eyes, the Mosey family was destined to be under Anders’ rule sooner or later. It was crucial to choose the right side to join to secure a prosperous future.
“Friends and relatives, do you think what I’m saying makes sense?” Anders’ gaze swept the room.
“Sir Anders has a discerning eye and is wise. He must be right!”
“Who does Dahlia think she is? This kind of person isn’t fit to hold power! I say, just kick her out of the Moseys!”
“Absolutely! How can a feeble person like her be compared to Sir Anders, the God of War? If she’s in charge of the Moseys, we would be in trouble sooner or later!”
The room hummed with voices, everyone voicing their discontent. They held a longstanding grudge over Dahlia’s ascent to power.
After all, they were the elders of the Moseys mansion, faithfully serving for many years. Why should a woman with no achievements suddenly take command and issue orders?
Because of Seamus’s influence, they didn’t dare to speak up. They could only grit their teeth and reluctantly comply.
Now, with the Veros Warrior back, expressing his intentions to vie for power, they no longer held back.
They openly declared their support, refusing to bow down any longer. They erupted in agreement and condemnation.
“I’m thankful for the support you’ve all shown me. Since we’re all on the same page, let’s work together to remove Dahlia from the Moseys!” Anders declared, drawing cheers from the crowd.
“We are willing to serve Sir Anders with all our hearts!”
“Good! Let me make it clear. As long as you support me wholeheartedly, I guarantee you won’t be mistreated!” Anders smiled.
“Thank you, Sir Anders!” The group expressed their gratitude, toasting once again. Dahlia’s stern policies had significantly damaged their benefits. Anders, with his significant power, promised a brighter future. Now, with everyone openly supporting Anders, they felt liberated.
“Urgent report!”
At that moment, a guard rushed in and reported to Anders, “Sir! Something bad has happened! Intruders have entered the manor, and they’ve injured many of us.
“The situation is critical. Please, we need reinforcements!”
