Chapter 771
They each also had the support of some of the core members of the family.
This was not one-sided.
The patriarch of the family, Delmont, was also a little undecided.
This decision was related to the path the family would take in the future.
Hence, he had to be careful.
Moreover, several elders in the family made it clear that they were old and out of touch with
society, so they would no longer be involved in any family affairs.
Now, the core of the family could only discuss and decide on their own.

generation of the King family.
When Raymond heard Delmont calling him, he stood up and said, “Grandfather, I think we can merge the opinions
of Uncle Cameron and Uncle Augustus. Since Somerland wants people, then we will send some of the people with
ordinary strengths to preserve the strength of the family as much as possible. Then, we can join other powerful
forces depending on the situation. If Somerland has hidden means, then it’s best if it can withstand the probing of
the major forces led by the Haran family. We contribute the most among all the hidden forces, so they can’t fault

“Yes, very good. What Raymond said is preferable. Before the situation is completely clear, it is not advisable to

During this critical period, Delmont was reluctant to be too radical.
With the idea of taking it easy and keeping his nose clean, he reckoned it would be fine as long as he protected the
millennium foundation of the King family during this turbulent period.
The core of the King family present all expressed their agreement.
This was indeed a fair compromise.
They would not offend Somerland completely and they could even pull away depending on the situation.
Neither Augustus nor Cameron objected.

Apparently, they also felt that it was somewhat impossible for the family to go with their own opinion.
Hence, they would accept a compromise that everyone could accept.
Both were strong contenders to become the patriarch of this generation.
Taking one’s opinion would embarrass the other.
At this critical time, the family obviously would not do this.
The reason why Delmont was still the patriarch of the family was that he was afraid that a
new patriarch would divide the family because both Augustus and Cameron each had
supporters of their own.
They could only wait until the situation was stable before considering another patriarch.
Just as Delmont was about to make a decision, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in the
hall.
“Grandfather, I have something to say! ”
