Chapter 1632 1627: The Two Patriarchs
Su Chen might not know how strong he is, but he is fully aware of how powerful the Nopheler Family is.To become a distinguished guest of the Nopheler Family, how could it be possible without some extraordinary skills.
One must remember that the Nopheler Family is an ancient and mighty bloodline!
When Sir Connor was excited, a hint of blood-red flashed deep within his eyes, a subtle tint that was hard to notice, but Joey Melard saw it clearly.
As if sensing Joey's gaze, Sir Connor turned his head and gave her a peculiar smile.
The smile on his face seemed so kind, yet what he received in return was not a fearful expression.
Instead, it was a smile that made him feel a little creeped out!
A girl's smile, surprisingly, could make Sir Connor, who had already received the Initial Embrace, feel creeped out.
It was unbelievable to him, but the discomfort only appeared for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, when Sir Connor looked over again, Joey was still smiling, but her smile was so sweet.
In the hall, the worldly elites and nobility were nervously anxious, but the bloodline members did not have such profound feelings.
Today, they came to witness the ceremony, yes, most bloodline members came with this thought.
After all, the Nopheler Family is one of the Thirteen Clans of the bloodline, not something anyone can afford to offend.
But there were quite a number with the intention to stir things up.
"Gugor, what do you think Harlow is planning?" two middle-aged nobles with deep charisma were conversing by a wine table.
There was no one else within a ten-meter radius around them, no, bloodline members.
"Ahaha, Glenser, what's this? Since when did you become so timid?" the middle-aged man referred to as Gugor laughed heartily.
And the other, appearing more elegant, was Glenser Othello, also had a faint smile on his face: "It's not timidity, using the ancient Eastern sayings: it's merely precaution."
"Oh? It seems you have a deep understanding of Eastern Ancient Country's culture; do you think that boy is problematic?" Gugor Kulich's smile gradually faded, speaking somewhat solemnly to Glenser.
The two middle-aged men engaged in conversation indeed had significant backgrounds.
They were both Bloodline Marquises, but their status was far beyond that of ordinary Marquises.
Like Harlow Nopheler, they were patriarchs of the ancient Thirteen Clans.
Nowadays, every patriarch of the Thirteen Bloodlines is nothing more than the strength of a Bloodline Marquis, but that doesn't hinder their power.
Perhaps within their family, there are beings stronger than them, but they are the patriarchs, and even those with higher might, unless they split off to form their own families, must listen to the patriarch.
Even if they went independent, faced with the patriarch's summons, being a branch family, they still need to be loyal to the patriarch.
Because they are the ancient Thirteen Clans.
They hold an extremely special status within the bloodline, and now Harlow and those mere Bloodline Marquises have become patriarchs.
Therefore, even if the ancestors of the family resurface, they are still bound to follow their orders, the command of the patriarch possesses supreme status among the bloodline.
Unless you become a Prince, can you possibly break free from the patriarch's control, but even then, you cannot show any disrespect towards the patriarch.
From here, one can see how exalted the identity of a bloodline patriarch is.
Today, the Nopheler Family, after the holy war, has sent an invitation to the entire Thirteen Clans in the form of a family banquet.
This counts as a witness, and also a signal.
The Nopheler Family's castle suffered an attack from the Bright Church, this news has already spread throughout the bloodline.
Today, attending the banquet, with the bloodline's acuteness, they can naturally sense the scent and blood of the Bright Church's lapdogs in the air.
However, now that the Nopheler Family held this banquet, it indicates that the Nopheler Family repelled the invading enemies, and the losses were not significant.
Otherwise, even facing other bloodlines, they should hide and lick their wounds at this moment.
Instead of acting so high-profile as now.
After today's meeting, they are absolutely convinced of the brutality of that great battle, even though Harlow revealed very little information.
But they have already sensed some obscure aura from Harlow, he is injured!
But the exact extent of his injuries is hard to say.
"As one of the Thirteen Clans, the Nopheler Family has just suffered a sneak attack from the lapdogs of the Bright Church, this is not the time to make too much noise."
Glenser spoke lightly to Gugor.
Gugor flashed an eerie grin showing his pearly white teeth: "I know, but this Eastern boy isn't part of the bloodline, is he? And considering his arrogant demeanor just now, don't you think he deserves a beating?"
Gugor looked eager to try.
Glenser showed a face indicating disbelief, it was well-known within the bloodline that the Kulich Family and the Nopheler Family never got along.
But considering the Nopheler Family just endured an attack from the Bright Church, they're in a rather weakened state.
As members of the bloodline, they should actually assist the Nopheler Family, but judging by the Kulich Family's demeanor, their intentions seem unfavorable!
As Glenser Othello, the patriarch of the Othello family, he had much more to consider.
Although the relationship between the Othello Family and the Nopheler Family isn't particularly close, it isn't distant either.
Today, his personal presence is a way of expressing goodwill.
However, if he were to confront the Kulich Family because of this, he must weigh whether it's worth it.
After all, the Kulich Family is no weaker than the Othello Family, and more because Gugor, who succeeded the Kulich Family's patriarch position, has a vengeful nature. If truly offended, it might bring immeasurable loss to the Othello Family.
Therefore, Glenser first probed Gugor; if Gugor genuinely aimed to thwart the Nopheler Family, he might have to consider whether to favor Gugor or get closer to the Nopheler Family.
"A bit arrogant, but aren't young people always like this?" Glenser chuckled.
"Oh? Is that what you think, head of the Othello Family? Then I shall excuse myself for now." Gugor gave Glenser a deep look, then raised his wine glass to seek other conversation targets.
Of the representatives present today from the Thirteen Clans, only the Othello and Kulich Families brought their family patriarchs.
As for representatives from the other Thirteen Clans, they were just Marquis Elders within the family.
But being able to dispatch people of such status actually indicates the importance, given that the Nopheler Family was merely hosting a banquet for a Guest Elder.
