The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

In an instant, due to a single sentence from Annie, everyone started criticizing her, all believing she was unfit for the position of Family Head.

After waiting for everyone to have their say, Harding continued, "I have read through the history of our Biel Family, and I believe that as the Family Head, one must seek benefits for the family. For us businessmen, making money is the greatest benefit. Our family has reached its current level by relying on one word – stability!

Seeking victory through stability, developing steadily. When other families fell one by one for various reasons, our Biel Family continued to progress slowly but surely. So today, those families that once dominated have disappeared, and yet our family stands at the pinnacle of Canada! Therefore, if I become the head, I will still adhere to the word 'stability.'

He looked towards Cass and said, "Uncle, you've always done well, but in Kidd's matter, you aimed too high. We could have taken our time instead of causing the current situation. The Thirteen Knights of the Feisha Association haven't shown up yet; perhaps they also think they are no match for Xu Hao."

Cass remained silent in the face of Harding's questioning. He knew he was in the wrong and had to accept the criticism openly.

But at this time, Annie spoke up, "Hmph! That was the old thinking. In the past, our Biel Family could afford to be stable, but not anymore! We must develop rapidly; otherwise, I'm convinced that within ten years, we'll surely be eliminated! And by rapid development, I mean we should pledge allegiance to Xu Hao and obtain the martial arts manuals of the Huaya People, so everyone in our Biel Family can practice martial arts!"

When Annie spoke these astonishing words, everyone was shocked. Cass looked at Annie in disbelief and, somewhat angrily, said, "Annie, it's understandable that you want our family to become stronger, but your brother just died at Xu Hao's hands, and you want to depend on Xu Hao? Is that appropriate?"

Many also glared at Annie, clearly understanding that it's impossible for her to become the Family Head now, as her idea alone disqualifies her.

However, Annie, unfazed, said, "I'm fully aware of the entire context of this matter. Xu Hao indeed contributed greatly in the fight for the key, but Kidd thought Xu Hao wanted to claim credit and tried to take what rightfully belonged to Xu Hao. I find this inappropriate. As a large family, we must act cautiously and follow the rules."

Upon hearing Annie's words, some people fell silent.

In their hearts, they realized Kidd hadn't acted with integrity, leading to Xu Hao's strong reaction. Had Cass not allowed Kidd to act that way, Kidd wouldn't have dared to defy his wishes.

Annie continued, "Therefore, I believe it's not impossible for us to collaborate with Xu Hao. On the contrary, cooperation could prove highly beneficial for both parties. We provide the people; he provides the secret books."

"But Xu Hao has to agree for it to happen; otherwise, it's just wishful thinking on our part," someone said.

Harding, now somewhat anxious, knew that although Annie hadn't gained the family's recognition yet and couldn't become the head, if she secured Xu Hao's support, the position would eventually be hers!

Therefore, Harding quickly said, "Absolutely not! Everyone knows that the Huaya people consider their cultivation technique heritage extremely important. How could they possibly give us manuals to cultivate? It's impossible!"

Harding's words instantly gained the approval of most people. The martial arts manuals of Huaya have always been for internal use only, difficult even for fellow Huaya people to access, let alone for foreigners like them.

But at this moment, a sudden commotion of shouting and fighting erupted outside. Just as everyone was about to go out and see, it suddenly ceased.

At that moment, a voice suddenly said, "If your Biel Family is willing to submit to me, then giving you some martial arts manuals is not impossible."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone was momentarily stunned and then quickly realized, "Xu Hao has arrived!"

Everyone stared at the doorway, and a figure, like a breeze, appeared directly in the conference hall.

Although they had never seen Xu Hao in person, they had seen his photo, and this person was indeed Xu Hao!

The sound of fighting earlier was likely between the Biel Family's guards and Xu Hao, but unfortunately, these men were no match for Xu Hao and were eliminated in the blink of an eye.

Xu Hao looked at everyone with a slight smile and said, "Gentlemen, you're having quite the lively discussion!"
