Chapter 2454: Becoming the Patriarch? No! Replacement!
After Ling Tian finished his plan, Li Meng and Tan Liwei began to implement it.
The two of them didn't show up the whole day, and the three people Ling Tian needed also didn't come.
At night, Ling Tian was led by the servant to the bedroom on the third floor to rest. The next morning, when Ling Tian just got up and went downstairs, he saw Tan Liwei appear in the living room of the villa with three unfamiliar faces.
Looking at the three unfamiliar faces in front of him, Ling Tian took a quick look and discovered that all three were mid-stage Heyi Realm warriors.
Among them, there was a young man who looked to be about fifteen years old. He gave people a strong sense of oppression and was obviously a natural leader.
Ling Tian looked at the young man a few more times, then looked at Tan Liwei standing beside him and said, "Are these the three best people in your family?"
"They are the three most loyal!" Tan Liwei smiled slightly. "Mr. Ling, you don't know that our Tan family is not as harmonious as it seems. We also have some small forces that I need to be extremely careful with, so I wasted some time."
After saying this, Tan Liwei pointed at the three people he had brought with him and said, "But don't worry, these three people will absolutely obey Mr. Ling's orders. If you tell them to go left, they won't go right. Most importantly... this is my son."
Tan Liwei said as he brought out the young man Ling Tian had first noticed. "This is my youngest son, and the one I'm most satisfied with. His name is Tan Xiaoqiang, and he's in the middle stage of the Unity Realm. Don't underestimate his realm, but he's a real powerhouse. He just came back from outside the city not long ago."
Hearing this, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Tan Xiaoqiang with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
You know what, this little guy really gives people a good feeling. At least it makes people feel like they are looking into the eyes of an important person.
Most importantly, he is very young.
It's quite impressive that he has such great abilities at such a young age.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, looked at the other two and said, "You can go now. Actually, there's only one person I need, and I've found him now."
After he finished speaking, Tan Liwei did not say much, but waved to the other two and asked them to go first.
When only Ling Tian, Tan Xiaoqiang, and Tan Liwei were left in the living room, Ling Tian slowly sat down, looked at Tan Xiaoqiang, and said, "Your father said that you had been outside the city the whole time. Were you also killing orcs?"
"No." Tan Xiaoqiang shook his head. "I just wanted to go out and gain experience. I know the Tan family is in a bad situation. My father has never been resolute enough, which is why our Tan family has always been in a bad situation and has been threatened by other small forces."
"That's why I want to go out, kill some monsters, see the evil of people's hearts, and then return to the Tan family to clean up the entire Tan family and make the Tan family stand at the top of Weicheng!"
As soon as these words came out, before Ling Tian could speak, Tan Liwei on the side said dissatisfiedly: "You kid, you are saying these things. No matter what, your father is the head of the Tan family. How can I not have a little guy like you..."
"Master Tan, let him speak." Ling Tian interrupted Tan Liwei and looked at Tan Xiaoqiang and said, "Go on. I'm very interested in what you have to say."
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Tan Liwei looked a little embarrassed. On the other hand, Tan Xiaoqiang smiled and nodded, saying, "I've heard some rumors about Mr. Ling. It's said that you're decisive and ruthless. I also heard about Wang Yong begging for mercy. Then, when I heard you take action directly, I was extremely happy."
"Because this is the kind of person I want to be. I'm strong and don't have to worry about other things. I can handle all the troubles on my own. So now, even though I'm only in the middle stage of the Unity Realm, I can kill high-level monsters on my own. This is because I won't stop just because others beg for mercy."
Ling Tian couldn't help showing a surprised expression at Tan Xiaoqiang's words.
This little guy seems to be far more complicated than I imagined?
Being able to kill a high-level monster alone would be a bit difficult for someone in the middle stage of the Unity Realm, let alone the late or peak stage of the Unity Realm.
In other words, the Tan Xiaoqiang in front of him has real strength and has truly been through the gates of hell, which is why he has such terrifying lethality.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, if what you said is true, then I think you can stay with me. I will teach you some things, so that you can become the real head of the family and replace your father."
"what?"
Hearing this, Tan Liwei on the side couldn't hold it anymore.
You said so much, it turns out you are just trying to give up your position?
The worst part was, Ling Tian actually agreed?!
Looking at them like this, it seems like they have already made an agreement. The two people's goals actually overlap?
And in the end, you are the only one who gets hurt?
Ok!
Tan Liwei suddenly began to regret bringing Tan Xiaoqiang here.
My youngest son is actually good in every way.
For example, he is obsessed with strength and has been determined to become the strongest warrior since he was a child.
Most importantly, he also loved to learn and would often ask himself about the main issues in managing a family.
Although Tan Liwei had long regarded Tan Xiaoqiang as his successor, giving up the position himself and being dethroned by someone else are two completely different things.
call!
Tan Liwei couldn't help but let out a breath, looked at Tan Xiaoqiang and said, "Um...Xiaoqiang, this place of mine has always been yours. When you're old enough..."
"Am I not old enough to become the head of the family?" Tan Xiaoqiang turned to look at Tan Liwei. "Father, you don't know that I have always wanted to meet with Mr. Ling because I believe he knows how cowardly you are. Father, it's time to step down. It's time."
Tan Liwei was stunned when he heard this. He frowned slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He said, "Xiao Qiang, some things can't be rushed. I'm doing this for your own good. You..."
"Father, that's enough. There's no need to say too much between us, okay?"
After Tan Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he slowly stood up, walked over to Ling Tian, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Ling, I hope you can let my father know that in this era, being a good family head isn't just about ability; it requires great ambition and a bit of ruthlessness."
"Mr. Ling, you know in your heart that my father... lacks all of this, right?"
Tan Xiaoqiang spoke seriously. When Tan Liwei was about to explain, Ling Tian waved his hand and said, "Master Tan, Xiaoqiang is actually right. A master of a family does need to be a bit ruthless. How about... let him try?"
"How...how do I try it?" Tan Liwei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's simple. Let him resolve the internal troubles of your Tan family. If he succeeds... the head of the Tan family will step down. How about that?"
