Chapter 140 - "NWO! STWOP!"
Grandpa Yofan couldn"t just tell the others that someone without the Sloan Family"s bloodline couldn"t enter the prairie or tell them about the sacred guardian"s ability.
After all, the secret with the sacred guardians was a significant matter.
No random family members should know. It concerned the core power of their family. Grandpa Yofan didn"t want to disclose this secret just to save Elliana.
It"s not that he"s cruel, but he had to think as the one governing the family. If those foxes knew more about the family"s secret, G.o.d knows what they might do in the future.
This was why only the five buds and the supreme elder knew about the sacred guardians" secrets. Not even the other 6 great elders knew about these facts.
Well, excluding the family head.
Uh, the current family head was still a baby, so she"s an exception.
However, the five buds like them had the privilege to know a lot simply because they were the family"s pillars.
They could be said to be the family"s true protector even if they didn"t pledge loyalty to the family head.
Their standing was almost on par with the sacred guardians!
Thus, the five buds of this generation knew a lot about those three cats, and they were baffled.
Really. Since when there"s a sacred guardian in their family that can affect a human"s soul?!
Only the five buds and the supreme elder indeed knew many things regarding the sacred guardians. However….it shouldn"t be a reason to accuse an innocent person blindly!
"I think there"s a deeper problem here..." Marietta let out a long sigh.
"Yes...should it be a political move from the branch families? Maybe they"re the one harming the family head and want to blame it on that lady." Nouvan shook his head.
He had known that the family declined further ever since the previous family head took over the family.
The last head family was indeed somewhat competent, but he didn"t weed out the poisonous people inside the family, leading to this state.
Now that his daughter took over his position, those toxic people couldn"t stay hidden anymore and actively tried to take the family head seat for themselves.
But even the five buds couldn"t easily take the family head"s seat...how could those foxes easily take over?
Worst come worst, Jevon might "avenge" the family head and took over the seat for himself.
Unfortunately, the problem was still too insignificant for the five buds to join the fray. So, the youngsters shut their mouth and watched the centre elder listing other nonsense proofs that sounded logical to others but none to them.
Five minutes later…
The elder tossed the papers back to his robe before glaring at Elliana as if she"s a demon.
"Sinner Elliana! We have recited the proof of your sin! Do you admit it?" The elder pointed his finger at the vulnerable lady.
From start to finish, Elliana didn"t even speak. She just lifted her head weakly and shook her head.
Seeing her stubborn action of not speaking and only shook her head as a sign of refusal to admit her sin, the other elders erupted in rage.
"Sinner Elliana doesn"t want to admit her sin despite the concrete proof! We shall discuss the punishment for sinner Elliana."
The centre elder ignored Elliana and looked at the guests instead. Each of the guests had a high standing in the family, and they should offer some suggestions on how to deal with the sinner.
Once the elder dropped the question, the guests raised their hands and offered a sincere suggestion.
"How about we strip her status as the family head"s guardian and send her to the battlefield to repent?"
"No, that"s too light! She should be confined at the dungeon!"
"How about a death sentence? Maybe toss her to the monsters."
"That"s too cruel and unsightly. After all, she is still an ex-guardian of the family head. How about beheading her?"
"Hmm, that"s quite good."
"No, no, we should just cripple her, take her abilities and let her live as an ordinary human. That will serve as a better punishment."
"Taking her abilities? Not only is it painful, but it will also affect her mentality! That"s good."
"Then take down her authority, strip her of her abilities and toss her to the monsters" lair. How is it?"
"Sounds brilliant. We can warn the others not to betray the family just like this lady."
"Agree with you."
"General Ciel is truly wise for offering such a good suggestion."
"Mmm. It"s better than just letting her go to the battlefield. Who knows if she will backstab our comrades?"
The majority of the crowds agreed with the punishment of taking Elliana"s authority, strip her of her abilities, turning her into a normal woman before tossing her to the monsters" lair at the capital.
That would truly be a cruel punishment and served as a suitable warning for others not to easily betray the family!
Not long after, the elders also agreed. Only the five buds and the supreme elders abstained from voting.
In a mere second, Elliana"s fate was decided. The centre elder fixed his robe before announcing the result of the trial.
"With this, from today onwards, sinner Elliana will step down from her seat as the family head"s guardian, shall have her abilities crippled, and will be thrown into the monsters" lair at the capital!"
The elder crossed his arms in front of his chest as he beckoned the six elders to approach Elliana.
"Carry out the punishment– " the centre elder hadn"t finished when the door to the hall suddenly burst open with a loud bang.
"NWO! STOP!" A childish voice pierced the heavens as a tiny figure dashed to the front.
