After coming out of Hubert's home, Claire did not go to Merlin's home. He was actually a little frightened, fearing that the godhead in his body would be noticed by Merlin.
The next thing to be busy with is the succession of Yana.
Claire returned to Sophia's home. At this time, Shane and Sophia had already exchanged information with each other, which had exposed the foundations of the elders in Gen's family.
As those people get older, their hearts will not calm down. They have done more or less things that violate the laws of the kingdom and embezzle family property. August Family and Ansier Family have learned a lot of information intentionally or unintentionally over the years.
If we catch those people now, then things will be easier to handle later on. It is nothing more than what Claire said: deception, coercion, and frame-up.
Guen Family is not the head of the family. As long as the elders in the family who have a certain say are manipulated to increase the bargaining chip for Yana, the subsequent succession will be much easier.
In the following week, Shane and Sophia also sent many people to continue to find out the dirty information about the elders of the Guen Family, and then handed it over to Yana.
Yana was shocked when he looked at the information. He originally thought that his conspiracy with Claire to rob the family's 150 million weapons would be considered a huge event. But she didn't expect that the elders in the family had done more than she did. It was common for one person to embezzle hundreds of millions of Gold Coins, and smuggle weapons and sell them to other countries.
If this kind of news spreads casually, it will be regarded as a major earthquake for the Guen Family and even the entire kingdom.
However, after getting those dirty materials, Yana became more and more confident. With the help of Claire, he met with the elders in private one after another.
"Yana, why did you call me here?"
"Grandpa Dulu, I didn't expect you to be so strong all the time." Yana said with a kind smile, "The son of the great elder who has always been blessed with children is actually your son. Do you think that if the great elder knew about this, would he cut you in half?"
"You! Where did you get these rumors!" Dulu's panicked voice on the opposite side was trembling.
This matter was originally a very secret matter, how could it be spread out!
It was indeed very secretive, but by chance, Shane's father Count Norton wanted to start a business that day, which happened to involve Guen Family, so he sent his men to find out the information. They happened to meet Elder Dulu who was having a tryst with the First Elder's wife, so he also reported it.
Yana did not provide any evidence and continued, "You know whether it is a rumor or not."
Dulu's expression became ferocious, but the next second, with a wave of Yana's hand, a cold dagger was pressed against his neck. This was a Archmage given to her by Sophia for self-defense.
"Grandpa Dulu, please calm down. And if I die, the news will definitely spread as soon as possible."
Dulu said in frustration, "What do you want to do?"
Yana's eyes flashed with a glint, "I want to be the head of the family."
"Even if I support you, that's impossible." Dulu retorted subconsciously.
"Whether it succeeds or not is my business, you just need to be responsible for taking sides."
"Uncle Marvin, do you still remember the fire in the weapons depot seven years ago? I have some different news here. Do you want to listen to it?"
"..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but you know what to do next, right?"
"Uncle Deiv, I have a piece of news here about the accidental death of your son that year. Do you want to know who the murderer is?"
"..."
"That's right, that's what my father did when he competed with you for the position of chairman of the family..."
"I'm not killing my relatives out of righteousness, I just want to be the head of the family, come and help me."
"This is "Life Potion" which can delay your death and add twenty years to your life."
"..."
"The price?"
"The price is to help me become the new head of the family."
With the continuous negotiations, Yana also became more proficient, and he exuded the temperament of a person in power.
Under the operation of Yana, the time for the replacement of the head of the Guen Family's family was greatly shortened. This was proposed by Claire. The purpose was to enable Yana to take the position of the head of the family before the throne was replaced and to better provide assistance.
Ever since, on the day when the head of the Guen Family family was replaced, the news that Yana had unexpectedly seized the throne spread throughout the royal capital.
In fact, more than half of the voting rights among the Guen Family supported Yana, who had no chance of winning before. At that time, Yana's father and her eldest brother's expressions were full of doubts, and they did not understand why things would develop like this. However, the position of head of the family is no child's play. Since it was announced on a formal occasion, Yana succeeded in taking the position as expected.
Under the personal guidance of Sophia, he gradually took control of the Guen Family, placed his father under house arrest, sent his eldest brother out of the kingdom, and transferred all the power of the family head to his own hands. The whole process was very natural and smooth. When Yana's father, the former head of the family of the Guen Family, originally planned to resist and regain his position as head of the family, he found that all the power he could use in his hands had been removed by Yana.
The whole person was dumbfounded. His daughter had always been allowed to be manipulated by him, but now he lost to her, and he lost in an inexplicable way.
Not only Yana's father and her eldest brother were dumbfounded, but First Prince and Second Prince were also dumbfounded.
They had all thought about how to win over Yana's eldest brother, but now Guen Family's position as head of the family actually fell to Yana. This disrupted some of their plans. As the largest weapons provider in the kingdom, Guen Family plays a decisive role among the nobles of the royal capital. If they can win over it, it will be a great help to them, so they must win it no matter what.
The most uncomfortable thing was Vito. He had offended Yana before when he was at Blazing Flame Plane. At that time, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't beat. And now that Yana is in power, they will definitely not support him.
After confirming the news, Klee quickly sent someone to contact Yana. He naturally also knew about the good relationship between Yana and Claire, but he believed that Yana would make the most correct choice. Friends are not as important as power.
"Let's go." At night, Claire knocked on Yana's door.
Yana had just finished handling the family affairs at this time. Before she became the head of the family, she didn't know that being the head of the family was so tiring.
After Claire came in, he glanced at the documents on the desktop and said, "You can just assign these things to the people below. You don't need to do everything yourself. As the head of the family, you just have to grasp the direction."
Yana shook her head, "Forget it, it's better to feel more at ease if you do it yourself." She read the information Sophia and Shane gave her, and now that she was the head of the family, she began to fear that the people below would only eat but not work, and would also occupy the family property. Therefore, you must do everything yourself, so that you can feel at ease.
Claire smiled and gave no further advice. This kind of thing is rotten at the root. Unless the broken parts are cut off, no matter how hard you work, it will not help. Is there no such person in the August Family? Of course there is, but Sophia knows how to weigh the pros and cons. As long as the main contradiction is dealt with, the rest of the problems will be minor problems.
However, Claire has no intention of telling her now. When Yana finds out that no matter how hard he tries, he can't change, he will have an epiphany. It won't be too late to help her then. The main thing now is Irene's business.
After locking all the documents, Yana asked, "Where did you just say you were going?"
"Archmage Merlin's home." Claire smiled slightly.
Yana said in shock, "Can you really bring Archmage Merlin into the game?" If it is true, then they can win directly.
"Of course not, I still can't say Archmage Merlin." Claire said, he is self-aware. If he didn't happen to have Magic Swordmaster in his hand, he couldn't even say Hubert, let alone Merlin now.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Archmage Merlin can't talk, but Edith I can still talk."
