Chapter 470: SAGE
After arranging for his siblings to wait for their turn, Mike slowly entered the tent, which had a huge slate in its center.
For every member of the family who had gone through the awakening, it was a very familiar slate. It was the one they used to appraise their class after the ceremony,
It had been transported here in total secrecy!
“Is everything ready outside?” Theodore, who sat alone beside the slate asked. Usually, two other elders should be present, but due to the secrecy of the ritual and the fact that all of the participants were his offspring, Ann made the decision to allow him to be alone here with Mike who was her current candidate to be the next patriarch.
“Yes!” Mike nodded. “George will let them in one by one!” he added as he felt a little sad. If Victor was not missing, he would have also been able to attend as he was determined to be trustworthy after donating the Artifact to the family.
“Then sit down and let’s start!” Theodore said. “George! SEND THEM IN!” he yelled to his butler who was waiting outside.
…
“Excuse me…” the first to come in was none other than Lara. No one dared to go in before her. This included Luke who for some reason wanted to escape and drill into some hole but was caught by George!
Following Lara was El who was in her casual maid dress, she was Lara’s servant, so it was ok for both of them to go together.
