Chapter 0547 Get out? Would Callie kick people out? I I "Uncle, don't bother with Callie. She's I too scared even to hold a proper vote for the head of the family. She's just after the family fortune!" "Yeah! Why should Tacker take over? Just because he's a martial arts grandmaster? With enough money, we can hire a dozen more grandmasters. What's one grandmaster worth? We shouldn't fear him!" "'Callie's uncle is the obvious choice for the new head of the family. He's at the right age, and he has the respect and prestige!"

"Bravo, Mister Alonso! You're the new head of the family!" "Mister Alonso, with your esteemed character, it's only natural for you to take the reins. My respects to you... oh, I mean, to our new family head!" "Here's to the new family head!" The room erupted in cheers as Alonso, his face creased with age, sat in the patriarch's chair, his laughter booming.
