Conclusion

Since the elders of Lauren's faction were left speechless...

Sarah, who had had to endure several humiliations of these people when she was a child, precisely because of the fact that her mother was a commoner...

She couldn't restrain her desire to mock and take advantage of the misfortune of that nasty flock of corrupt hypocrites.

"You're right, Atomsk, this is all very strange ... Could you, please, uncle explain the reason for all these contradictions?

I am so curious too"

However, Lauren didn't answer...

The man with the thousand plans, who controlled the Vermillon family from the shadows, was speechless.

Whatever he said from now on could easily be used against him

The situation did not look good for him.

Then spontaneously the same Elder who stupidly was about to insult Atomsk at the beginning, went back to commit another foolishness.

"Sarah, how dare you? Have you forgotten that your mother ..."

Once again, he could not finish the sentence.

This time it was not due to the fulsome look of most of the Elders in the room...

This time it was pure pressure.

The same kind of pressure that an herbivore feels before his natural predator.

Only one person was exerting that pressure.

The leader of the family, Lorenz Vermillon.

Which looked with contempt to that Elder, while releasing his STIGMA.

In his STIGMA could be seen the drawing of the Phoenix, drawing present in all the members of the Vermillon family.

However, there was something different in his STIGMA,

Something that Atomsk had never seen before.

There was no ring of light surrounding the drawing, which means that...

Lauren Vermillon was an AVATAR Saint, the apex of the Devas.

[WoW ... Sarah's father is an AVATAR Saint😲

How cool🤩]

...

Without Lorenz lessening in the least the pressure he was exercising on that Elder, he said with some fury

"How dare you, Raul, have you forgotten the price that all of you made me pay for skipping that rule?

Should I make you pay that price too, now that marriage between commoners and nobles is not a bad idea according to you?"

None dared to contradict him

Everyone was aware of the price that their current family leader had to pay years ago

Everyone was aware that they, even Lauren was unable to pay that price...

Things didn't look good for them

Lauren looking cornered, tried to use her sibling relationship to get out of trouble "Brother, I'm just trying to do my best for the Vermillon family, I thought that you, more than anyone else would understand" Lauren said trying to appeal to his compassion

However, at that moment, seeing how disgusting and manipulative Lauren was…

Sarah could no longer contain herself and said everything she wanted to say since she entered the room ... Bursting in anger

"JA, you? The best for the family? Bullshit!

The only thing that matters to you is your own benefit, using the Vermillon family as a cover.

If you care so much about the benefit of the Vermillon family, you wouldn't have objected to my decision to adopt Atomsk.

And if you weren't a disgusting hypocrite, you wouldn't have proposed that Atomsk, a commoner of those whom you despise so much... to mate with your twee daughter's to take advantage of him"

[Wow ... Sarah😲

You just messed up😰]

Those words were like a bomb that detonated in the middle of the room full of gunpowder... Causing a strong chain reaction.

All the Elders got up from their chairs and started shouting at each other...

Addressing insults, recriminations, accusations ... even a shoe flew through the air

An authentic chaos

And between that chaos, Lauren looked at Sarah with a sinister expression as if he wanted to shallow her alive ... this was the first time that day that he changed his expression...

[Yes ... Fight, Fight...🤪

This reminds me my old school😊

The congress of the deputies of my country too😂]

...

However, when what was originally a meeting to discuss good news was going to end in a massacre...

Lorenz, the head of the family intervened once more.

"SHUT UP!" Lorenz shrieked as he transformed into his human / Phoenix hybrid form.

Feeling the enormous pressure, that Lorenz was exerting...

The Elders stopped and sat back in their chair.

As if they were dogs that had just been scolded.

"I will let this unpleasant behavior on everyone's part go through today

So let's go back to the main point...

We have all come to the conclusion that Atomsk should be part of the Vermillon family...

Since it is something that greatly benefits the family ...

Do you all agree? "Lorenz asked all the Elders in the room.

All the Elders, regardless of the faction they belonged to, nodded, that was something that had been clear from minutes ago.

"Well, it's nice to see that we all agree on something ...

Nevertheless, this is where our problems begin.

We have this problem because the rules of our family, which are supposed to serve the benefit of our family ... precisely, are preventing a great benefit for our family…

Even so, we are all willing to skip these rules one way or another.

Is that so?"

The Elders of Sarah's faction responded without hesitation, agreeing with Lauren, but ...

Those of Lauren's faction did not ... since they understood the implication of answering affirmatively to that question just as Lauren had put it.

"IS THAT SO?" Lauren insisted, raising the volume.

Those of the Lauren faction also claimed ... They had no alternative, they had shown that Lorenz was right ... they could not deny everything that happened so easily

"Well, I see we agree once again.

Since we have all concluded that there are absurd norms like these in the family… I suppose there will not be much inconvenience in doing a review of them..."Lorenz said in a sarcastic way.

The unhappy faces of Lauren's faction were obvious.

"But that can be discussed later ...

Let's continue with the case of Atomsk ...

You both propose two ways to make Atomsk part of the family.

Some for adoption and others for marriage

Moreover, both methods are against the rules, so it does not matter which method is used for that purpose...

So considering that Sarah has brought Atomsk to the family, and that Atomsk wants the adoption measure.

I declare that Atomsk as of today is in my care, as an adopted son

Anything else to add?"

With Lorenz's statements, the elders of Sarah's faction burst out in jubilation.

It was the first crushing victory they had had against Lauren's faction for years.

However, there was no one happier in that room than Sarah at that time...

She had managed to make Atomsk his brother

She had managed to hit her uncle and his faction hard

In addition… she had begun to trust her father again...

However, Lauren had not given up at all...

"I have some doubts, which I think are in everybody's interest" Lauren said, addressing Lorenz

"Any problem with my decision, Brother?" Lorenz said, somewhat irritated.

"I have no problems with your decision, head of the family, it is reasonable, reasoned and fair.

I just wanted to know what implications it will have for Atomsk to be the son of the Head of the family" Lauren said as he looked defiantly at Sarah

The room became chaotic once more.

It was obvious to what he was referring.

What intrinsic rights as a son of the head of the family will Atomsk have?

Evidently ... The one that attracted the most interest was the right to inherit.

This was a very sensitive point for all, especially for Lauren's faction

However, before Lorenz or any of the elders could specify what his rights were... or what was the right for which they were curious...

The person who was least suspected spoke.

"If you are worried about my right to inherit, I don't know why you care... after all the heiress of the family is Sarah ... and the fact that I'm here will not change anything, right?" Atomsk said, catching everyone by surprise…

Not only were they surprised by the fact that Atomsk understood their intentions perfectly

Also for his statement, telling that Sarah was the heiress

[Did you think that everything I said and done was solely because of my adoption?😈

HAHAHA poor wretches, you're still in the trap that I left under the other trap😎

And you are about to step on it🤪]

"This ..." Several elders said, trying to find the right words

"She's not? She is the oldest daughter of the head of the family ... I understood that makes her the heir, is not it?" Atomsk said, using a childish tone again, which gave chills to the elders of Lauren's faction...

They were witnessing the return of the little imp ... none dared answer him.

They knew that whatever they said, that little monster would use it against them

His faction had suffered enough today

Unfortunately for them, one of the elders of Sarah's faction understood the intentions of Atomsk with that question... and go along with his game "Young master Atomsk, the reason why they are hesitating to answer you is because there is an unwritten rule within the family that says that when women get married, they become part of the husband's family.

That's why they do not see with good eyes to make Miss Sarah the heiress"

[I already guessed it😏

This is why Lauren is trying to force Sarah to marry🧐

Lauren, you're a bastard with more face than back😕]

"Ah, so it was another stupid rule...

I thought it was something more serious...

Then all we need to do is suppress this rule and that's it..."Atomsk declared as he smiled complicitly at the elder.

Hearing those words come out through Atomsk's mouth ... Lauren himself, who was about to lose all patience, he asked in a somewhat threatening tone… "Excuse me?"

"Mmmm, I may not have explained myself very well ...

I will explain it with this question...

If you had to choose between an exceptional person and a useless or less valid person as the future head of the family ... whom would you choose?" Atomsk asked the Lauren faction

Once again, nobody answered, it was evident that they could only give an answer since that answer, in spite of being the correct one ... It represented another defeat

Since no one answered, Atomsk continued with his speech, as if it had been a rhetorical question, which he did not expect to answer

"You see, because of this law, we are being forced to choose as the head of the family the least valid person for it ... besides, it makes us throw out of the family the most exceptional one ...

As you all know, Sarah is the strongest young person in the whole family, and possibly the empire...

How can we allow a law so harmful to us?

Although ... wait moment...

If I remember correctly the marriage proposal of Lauren with her daughter... it was for me to enter the Vermillon family, and not the other way...

Therefore, I see that you are also in favor of women continuing to be part of the Vermillon family when they get married..." Atomsk said looking at Lauren with a mocking and evil face

Lauren was about to protest, but Atomsk did not give him that chance.

He wanted and should end this matter as soon as possible

"How funny, it just happens the same as before...

You also thought that this is a law that should be skipped depending on the benefit of the family, right?

Then everything is resolved...

We all win again by erasing this law… Right, father?" Atomsk said to Lorenz, who answered affirmatively, with a big smile

With the end of Atomsk's intervention...

The word defeat seemed to be marked on Lauren's and his lackeys forehead...

Many of the Elders, who trembled with rage and impotence, believed that the next time they invoked their AVATAR,would cease to be a phoenix and would become the incarnation of failure.

One of them even began to spit blood for the contained fury, while cursing Atomsk ... like the rest of his companions, who regretted the fact of having let this imp speak.
