Chapter 1706 Extremely Creepy

“Master Jules, are you out of your mind?” Ettore and others looked at Jules in disbelief. “I agree!” Jules exclaimed as he stepped up. “Let Oly be the patriarch of the White family!” For a brief moment, the scene fell silent as soon as these words were spoken. Everyone looked at Jules with an extremely astonished look. They couldn’t figure out what Jules had up his sleeve. Jules was currently the only member of the family who could challenge Ansel for the position of patriarch. Yet, he was actually actively supporting Olympias at the time. Why did he act in a way that was out of character for him? Anyone with a rational mind could not agree to let Olympias become the family patriarch in this situation. Regis’ decision was, in fact, nonsense. “Are you sure, Jules?” Benoit, who stood next to Ansel, twitched his facial muscles violently a few times. “Our father’s decision is a joke,” he said to Jules. “Is it possible that you share his sense of humor? This is something that concerns the future of the entire family.” “Our family’s tradition has always been for the previous patriarch to appoint the next patriarch,” Jules explained. “We should respect Father’s decision to make Olympias the new patriarch of the family. Perhaps you all believe Olympias is unfit for the role of patriarch, but how will you know unless you give it a try? “I don’t think Father is confused. He must have his reasons for making this decision. So, I suggest that Oly should take the role first. Then we’ll see if she’s capable of assuming the role of patriarch. If it doesn't work, the family’s council and high executive will make a new decision. “There are so many of you who rushed out to oppose Oly's ascendancy. Are you all disobeying the former patriarch’s decision?” Many people stopped talking altogether after such a large label was placed on them. Now that Jules openly proclaimed his support for her, Oly puffed out her chest, her confidence restored. The elders of the Council of Elders, on the other hand, remained silent. “Let’s go!” Ansel couldn’t swallow his rage in the end, and he couldn’t say much in this situation. As a result, he simply turned around and walked away, enraged. The majority of Ansel’s group also left with him. Silence was restored to the scene. Though Ansel did not make a public statement, his current method of taking his people away with him clearly demonstrated that he was opposed to Olympias becoming patriarch. Jules was unconcerned about Ansel’s departure. “Greetings, Patriarch,” he said respectfully as he walked toward Olympias, step by step. “Greetings, Patriarch!” Julius had made his statement. All of his supporters did the same. For a short time, many people in the crowd approached Olympias and addressed her as patriarch for a short time. When Olympias was in a high position, she felt lonely all of a sudden. Even though she held a high position in Regal Palace, her feelings were completely different at this time. “Patriarch, if you run into any problems in the future, just come to me and ask away. I’ll definitely assist you all I can, and I’ll always be there for you.” Jules said sincerely. “Okay.” Olympias finally gave a nod. She didn’t have an opinion about it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it. *** Olympias spent the next full day with Ortwin and the Council of Elders, performing various handovers. Simultaneously, she was managing many family affairs with the help of the council. It was almost evening when the tasks were completed. Ortwin had been following Olympias from the beginning to the end. He had served the last patriarch until the end of his life, and now he was serving Olympias, the newest patriarch, faithfully as he did to Regis. Olympias, on the other hand, had no intention of keeping Ortwin. For starters, she wasn’t used to being accompanied by such an old man. In addition, she didn’t feel like she belonged here. Even though she was now the White family's nominal patriarch, she knew it was all just a blip on the radar. It was just that she had no idea why Regis was doing this to her right now, so she was treading carefully. She would definitely find a way to get away from the White family once she figured out everything. The problems in this family appeared to be intensifying and becoming more complicated. She was certain that staying there wasn’t the best option. Olympias had moved to the Regis Tower that day because she had been elevated to the position of patriarch. Tyr also tagged along with her. Ortwin had prepared dinner for them. At this time, Olympias and Tyr were eating their meals. “The guards will enter the Regis Tower tomorrow morning. Those are the guardians of our family. The troops will be under the command of the patriarch in the future. In addition, the Regis Tower will become your residence as the Patriarch in the future. If you want to change the name, you can change it to the Olympias Tower. Young Lady, I will continue to serve you too. This is the rule.” “Grandpa Ortwin, none of this is necessary,” Olympias said as she set the fork down. “I don’t require any assistance. You should retire now that you are older and spend more time with your family. Aside from that, I’m not interested in the so-called guards. I dislike being surrounded by people all day, just like my grandpa. There isn't any need for me to change the name of the tower. “Grandpa Ortwin, you have always been with my grandpa. Do you know why he chose me? He clearly knew that I was not qualified to be the White family patriarch at all.” Ortwin smiled and replied, “I am just a servant. How can I know what the previous master had in his mind? Since you don’t wish to keep me around, I will depart first. The guards are necessary, and they will arrive tomorrow morning. After all, you’re now the family’s leader, so we can’t afford to be careless with your safety.” After his speech, Ortwin greeted Tyr and Olympias. He took the initiative to leave the Regis Tower. “All these years, Senior Ortwin and your grandpa have been staying in the Regis Tower. He’s leaving now. Where do you think he’ll go?” Tyr, who was sitting on the side, frowned and looked at Olympias, who was upset. Olympias leaped from her seat and dashed out the door, only to discover that Ortwin had vanished. She yelled, “Grandpa Ortwin, I don’t want to drive you away! Where have you gone? Please come back now!” However, there was no response at all. The entire sky turned dark above Misty Slopes at this point. After a few leaps, a figure was seen leaving the White family’s mansion. He rushed all the way to the White Clan Memorial Park on top of Misty Slopes, wearing a meaningful smile on his face. “Where is he?” Tyr also bolted from the Regis Tower at this time. He frowned as he looked at the empty square in front of him. “He’s gone! He has left on purpose. He was nowhere to be found when I chased him out here,” Olympias explained. "Come, let’s go inside.” Tyr said. Tyr was becoming increasingly uneasy about the situation. The entire family was giving him a creepy vibe for some reason.
