Chapter 1239: Kill Them!
However, the Biel Family already made an excessive amount of money each month that they couldn't possibly spend it all. Handing over one-tenth to Xu Hao while gaining his support, many considered it to be well worth it.
With the help of a strong figure like Xu Hao, their development in Canada would certainly progress incredibly rapidly. At that point, the money they could earn might greatly surpass what they are making now.
Not many people are truly foolish. For most, lacking the ability to compete for the position of Family Head, they can only take a share of the family's monthly dividends. Therefore, they do not really care who the Family Head is, as long as it brings them benefits, and the money they receive doesn't decrease but rather increases, they would definitely support that person.
As a result, most of the Biel Family members were very supportive of Xu Hao's demands.
Annie also said at this moment, "Young Master, it's not much at all. On the twelfth of each month, we will definitely transfer ten percent of the previous month's total family profits to your private account punctually."
Xu Hao nodded slightly, then looked at Harding and said, "Annie, as the newly appointed Family Head of the Biel Family, you must establish your own authority within the family. Take this sword and kill Harding and those people."
He casually tossed the Fengyi Sword into her hands.
Staring at the short yet imposing Fengyi Sword in her hands, Annie was instantly horrified. Xu Hao actually wanted her to kill Harding and them!
Indeed, Harding and the others did want to be the Family Head and were strong contenders, but Harding was her cousin after all, and those standing with him were also blood relatives. How could she bring herself to do it?
Annie, full of helplessness, said, "Young Master, isn't this too cruel? After all, they are my kin and flesh and blood!"
Xu Hao said indifferently, "Harding and such people deserve to die. Otherwise, when I leave, do you think they will obediently acknowledge you as the Family Head? They will only feign compliance while seeking far stronger collaborators. If they find one, they will directly act to imprison or kill you, and even your father won't be spared."
Harding immediately shouted angrily, "Impossible! Xu Hao, stop sowing discord here! I, Harding, am definitely not that kind of person!"
Xu Hao couldn't care less about him and instead looked at Annie's father, the former Family Head of the Biel Family, Cass.
Cass had already stood up from his seat; with Xu Hao standing, how could he remain sitting?
He felt Xu Hao's gaze and quickly said, "Young Master, this is the Family Head's seat. Now that you are here, you should be invited to sit down."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and unhesitatingly sat upon it, then looked down at the crowd, commanding respect without anger.
No one dared to meet Xu Hao's gaze!
Standing beside Xu Hao, Cass finally said, "Young Master, if we put it in terms of clearing, such a situation would indeed exist. After all, I know Harding's temperament. He wouldn't concede easily, but to what extent he might go or whether he would harm me and my daughter if he gains power, that I cannot say for sure."
"No, you do know. Continue." Xu Hao said calmly.
Cass's expression changed instantly.
He did not want to speak too much since he knew about Harding's intentions, but there were so many Biel Family members sitting here.
However, Xu Hao's attitude was exceedingly firm.
Cass sighed deeply and said, "Alright then, my daughter, do not hesitate. Kill Harding and his accomplices, including his father. Back when I was competing to be Family Head, someone came to assassinate me. I suspect it was Harding's father, my second brother, who did it."
Harding instantly shouted in anger, "Uncle, stop slandering people here! Are you saying this because my father is bedridden and cannot stand up, and so you speak recklessly?"
Cass said, "Alas, these are things from old times. At that time, with our father's constraints, I couldn't make a move against him. Later when our father passed, I no longer wished to kill him, so it remained buried in my heart. But Young Master's abilities are immense, to even know such hidden affairs, and now I have no choice but to reveal this matter."
Upon hearing Cass say this, many people instantly believed him; Cass's words should be the truth.
Xu Hao was a bit impatient at this moment. Seeing them still dawdling here, he immediately said, "Annie, if you don't act, then I may have to appoint a new Biel Family Head."
As Xu Hao spoke with an air of nonchalance, it seemed as if designating a new Biel Family Head was just a trivial matter.
This made many people quite indignant.
Holding the Fengyi Sword, Annie's hands trembled slightly. Though she dared to stand up for her father at critical moments, she usually hadn't even killed a chicken.
