"After the ceremony, they were about to leave."

Puerh sat on the windowsill of the bedroom, observing the situation below.

Prince York and his entourage were preparing to return to the palace after paying their respects at the ancestral cemetery of the Allen estate.

With the careful assistance of two servants, the elderly Prince York was helped into the car.

"I think the reason why Her Majesty has been deliberately delaying the plan is probably because she wants to outlive her son and let him take the seed first."

No one agreed with Puerh, who continued on her own:

"Although the competition between the mother and son has not yet resulted in an obvious winner, it is time that has truly defeated Her Majesty. As she ages, she has lost the desire to continue the competition.

Because the fear of death, which is getting closer and closer, has overwhelmed her anxiety about taking the seed.

Although I don't know what that seed is yet, compared to... "Puerh raised her tail and bit it," it must be a very terrifying thing."

At this time, Judia was also ready to get in the car, she was going to sit in the same car as her grandfather.

Before getting in the car, Judia stopped and turned around, looking at the black cat sitting on the windowsill on the third floor of the castle behind her.

Their eyes met briefly.

Then Judia got into the car.

"Oh~ my goodness, she's such a sweet granddaughter of the ancestor."

Puerh's face showed a strong aunt smile.

She liked this little girl who was in the enemy camp but had amazing talents and a firm stance. To some extent, Puerh could understand her sense of belonging to the family.

"Someday, I will take you out of the dirty Gloria family and let you return to the warm embrace of the Allen family."

"Woof!"

The Golden Retriever walked to the windowsill and barked twice at Puerh.

Puerh didn't jump off the windowsill until the convoy left. She reluctantly jumped onto her own sofa, and her expression changed as she entered a serious cat face mode.

On the opposite side of Puerh was a small independent sofa, where Kevin the Golden Retriever sat.

Alfred sat on a cushion with a small blackboard in front of him, a box of colored chalks, and an eraser.

On the other side of Alfred was Karun, sitting on a long sofa.

Karun held a glass of ice water in his hand, gently turning it like he was holding a glass of hot water, occasionally taking a sip.

In front of him was a small tea table with a water pot and a thermos with ice cubes; there was also an exquisitely shaped and antique ashtray, a box of matches, and a deck of playing cards.

In the culture of the Vine people, from nobles to commoners, there could be no ashtray or fruit plate on the tea table, but there must be a deck of playing cards.On the one hand, it was because the entertainment options at the time were not abundant, and playing cards was a convenient way to spend time with friends and family. On the other hand, Wien's gambling industry was extremely developed, and gambling culture was deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

To a certain extent, the current social situation would certainly affect the social customs of the time. In other words, today's social customs are basically formed by the influence of past social situations.

"Woof!"

The golden retriever barked.

Puerh spoke up, "It says it's ready, and I'm ready too, meow."

Alfred nodded and said, "I'm ready too."

Karun nodded and said, "Let's begin then."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The golden retriever suddenly barked several times.

Alfred looked at Puerh and asked, "Translator?"

Puerh took a deep breath and said, "It says that this is our first serious meeting, and we can't just start like this without any sense of ceremony."

Alfred pondered and said, "It seems like that's true."

"Woof!"

"It says that at the very least, we should give this meeting a name. It can't be too cliché, it should be fresh, and it should also consider the geographical environment and commemorative significance. For example, we could name it after a location, like the first secret meeting at the Allen Estate, or the first gathering of Allen's recluses. Generally, meetings like this cannot have the words 'god' or 'demon' in their names. If the name is too grand, it will be considered vulgar, and it is also easy to offend taboos."

"..." The golden retriever.

Alfred asked, "Why does it feel like it didn't say as much as you did?"

Puerh wagged her tail and said, "A good translator shouldn't just be satisfied with word-for-word translation, but also have the ability to polish and diverge."

"You're diverging too much. Do we really need to add the sponsor's name?"

"Well, isn't this the Allen Estate? It seems reasonable to have a sponsor." Puerh reminded.

"But are there any sponsors who are doing so poorly that they're mixing with us today to discuss how to avoid the downfall of the Allen Estate? Besides, if we can't successfully prevent the downfall of the Allen Estate in the end, and we have to hold another meeting in the future, adding the prefix 'Allen' to the name will seem very unlucky, won't it?"

"I'm just suggesting, suggesting, suggesting." Puerh said, "Also, I think you should have a solution."

"Me?" Alfred pointed to himself.

"If you didn't have a solution, you wouldn't be sitting here organizing the meeting, but persuading Karun and us to leave the Allen Estate early."

"This..." Alfred was at a loss for words.

Puerh turned her head and looked at Karun with her cute cat eyes:"Oh, my dear Karun, you will definitely help the weak and helpless Allen family, won't you?"

Puerh was not trying to use moral coercion, but after learning of Judy's betrayal, Karun's calm and Alfred's excitement seemed unusual. If they didn't have something to rely on, this meeting could not have been held, and it couldn't have had this style.

So these two must be hiding something from themselves!

Am I already a cat excluded from the core circle?

The Golden Retriever looked at Karun: "Woof!"

Alfred also agreed: "Young Master, it's up to you to decide. I have a feeling that this is a great beginning."

Puerh also nodded: "Hmm, sense of ceremony, sense of ceremony!"

"Naming the meeting?" Karun smiled, reached out, and poured out the already opened deck of cards. All the cards were turned over on the coffee table, and Karun drew one out and flipped it over:

Ace of Spades.

"Let's call it the Ace of Spades First Meeting."

"Well, although it feels very casual, I can accept this name." Puerh said.

"Woof~" The Golden Retriever also nodded.

Alfred wrote "Ace of Spades First Meeting" on the small blackboard.

"The theme of our meeting this time is the crisis of the Allen estate..."

"Wait." Puerh interrupted Alfred's words, "I think we need to add an additional agenda before entering the formal topic. That is, we need to discuss how to further ensure Karun's safety in the future and prevent similar incidents from happening again."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The Golden Retriever immediately barked.

Puerh responded directly: "Dream on!"

"What did it say?" Karun asked.

"It said it can find a way to lift its seal so that it can protect you," Puerh translated.

For the full version, visit [ pawℝead.com ].

"Well, dream on." After listening, Karun gave his conclusion.

The Golden Retriever lay down on the sofa with a sad look.

Alfred spoke up: "Even if the Young Master is in the study in the future, I will be with him. From today on, I will hardly leave the Young Master's side."

"Okay." Puerh agreed, "The radio monster is currently the strongest combat power in our Ace of Spades organization."

Although he drew the card himself, Karun still felt a bit unnatural when he heard "Ace of Spades organization."

"Woof! Woof!"

"I know, I'll say it. Also, Karun should start learning the art of divine servants. If you learn and master it quickly, you can try to learn it beyond your level."

"I know."

"Now, let's move on to the formal topic."

Alfred tapped the small blackboard.

"The theme of today's meeting... The first meeting of the Ace of Spades organization is: [How to solve the crisis of the Allen estate]."Puerh asked, "So, has the topic of 'whether to help the Allen family' been skipped?"

Karun took a sip of ice water and replied, "Yes."

"Oh, that's great." Puerh stood up from the couch and bent down to Karun, "Praise the great Ace of Spades."

The meeting host Alfred continued to preside, "There are currently three methods to solve the crisis at the Allen estate:

The first method is to evacuate early. The core members of the Allen family leave the estate and can go to the Corona Island or leave Vienna, giving up the Allen estate. This way, many ordinary Allen family members will still be left in the estate, which may satisfy the queen's needs. After all, the queen cannot wait too long, and there is only one seed."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Puerh wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent.

"The second method is to have Old Anderson come forward. The Allen estate will push Prince Henry's funeral away and use various means to refuse the queen's stay, so she has no chance to implement that plan. After all, the Gloria royal family is closely watched by various churches. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Gloria family cannot actively expose their fangs to the outside world. The church's restrictions and vigilance on the royal power are their biggest weakness."

"Woof!"

"It said that these are all cowardly methods," Karun said, "Puerh, what do you think?"

"Do you really want me to say it?" Puerh stood up again, "My butt is definitely sitting on the side of the Allen family. I even think that my speech may affect the rigor and fairness of the first meeting of the Ace of Spades."

"Go ahead, because there are only four of us, and we cannot exclude stakeholders. After all, strictly speaking, I also have a relationship with the Allen family."

"Okay, then I'll say it. The first method is the safest, but for the now-declining Allen family, giving up the estate is equivalent to giving up their surname. The Allen family will disappear in exile and become a story. We...the Ace of Spades organization still need the Allen family as 'providers,' to provide various services and needs. Karun needs to continue his cultivation, Alfred needs materials for practicing formations, and preparations for his subsequent evolution. And when Karun's realm is improved, he can start to restore his strength to me and the stupid dog. All of this requires a large group of people to provide for us. It is a waste of time to rely on ourselves to collect resources."

Upon hearing this, Karun couldn't help but ask, "I can understand Kevin, but can you do it too?"If the Great Lord of the Abyss is willing to properly transform Golden Hair's body and make it a loyal Abyss Lord, it is feasible to help the Abyss regain some strength by following the method left by Mr. Hofen after Karun's realm is elevated and loosening the bindings according to the degree.

But as for Puerh's words...

Karun was puzzled. If Puerh also had the opportunity to regain her strength, why didn't Dis help her?

After all, with Dis' strength back then, to some extent, he was almost omnipotent.

Puerh explained, "I need the existence of the faith system of the Bright God to help me unlock the shackles."

"But although the Bright God religion has been destroyed, there must be some small fish that escaped, can't Dis find them?"

"I can find them, but there is also a second condition. I am now more like a holy artifact than a human or a cat. Therefore, the enhancement and nourishment of the holy artifact require... recognition of the master."

"Recognition of the master?"

"That is, to form a symbiotic relationship. Therefore, for a long time in the past, I was not interested in this at all."

Alfred spoke up, "Yes, compared to this kind of symbiotic relationship, even the relationship between husband and wife is extremely distant."

Karun leaned back on the sofa, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "So, now, no, after this, are you planning to find a remnant of the Bright God religion to recognize the master and achieve a symbiotic relationship?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Puerh asked.

"Nothing." Karun replied.

"I'm looking for you." Puerh said.

"Me?" Karun's back left the sofa, sitting up and pointing to his own face, "I follow the system of the Order God religion."

"Forget when you were purified, and pointed by the finger of the Bright God? There must be some light attribute remaining in your body, theoretically, you can use the techniques of the Bright God religion, although you cannot study and follow the faith system of the Bright God religion."

"Is that so..."

"But you must at least reach the level of a judge before your Order God religion system can be fully established as the backbone. After we form a symbiotic relationship, theoretically, the light power in your body will be stimulated, but it should not affect your backbone. At present, it is easy to make your body lose balance and become chaotic due to the symbiotic relationship with me. Even so, you can still get some abilities of the Allen family bloodline because of our symbiotic relationship. However, the same applies. Because the level of my original family's faith system is too high, forming a symbiotic relationship with you too early will interfere with and impact your original main route. Therefore, the level of a judge is the basic condition.""At the same time, you also need to reach that level at least, in order to have the ability to help this stupid dog remove the seal."

"Then, I can work with this stupid dog to find a way to restore some of our original power."

"And all of this requires the support of a family. The existence of the Allen family is necessary, as judges like Dis are actually the norm and they don't have many people working under them. It's hard to find a family that knows everything like the Allen family, and the most important thing is that they're obedient."

"Of course, the Allen family can also receive your protection, and each can benefit from the other."

"I see." Karun nodded.

Puerh continued, "As for the second method, I think we can only delay a little, and with the Queen's remaining lifespan being short, even if Allen Estate cancels Prince Henry's funeral and the Queen is unable to attend, she will definitely find a new way to come."

"Even... we can just break through the warnings of the major churches against the royal family. It's better to bend the rules a little than to have the entire royal family admit their mistakes and take the blame."

Alfred agreed, "Yes, there's no reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but not to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Puerh turned to look at the radio fairy. The words sounded strange, so... it should be someone else's words that the radio fairy was repeating.

So, as expected...

The first meeting of the Spades A Organization had already been monitored.

Looking at the stupid dog, who was excited and looked like he was really participating, Puerh wasn't unhappy at all. Instead, she was looking forward to the third method.

"Alfred is right," Karun placed his cup on the coffee table. "Sometimes, avoiding and hiding is not necessarily the best way. If we have the ability, it's better to choose a positive defense and then look for opportunities to counterattack."

"But, the defensive ability of the Allen family is already very strained. Unless we bring Wood and his men back to Allen Estate from Corona Island, what can we use to counterattack?"

Alfred took out a piece of paper and hung it on the small blackboard. It depicted Count Lecar, but the Queen next to him was erased.

"Oh, radio fairy, you draw so badly. In this picture, Count Lecar looks like a sloppy scumbag."

"This is young master's handwriting."

Puerh immediately raised her head. "Oh, it's so lifelike, because in my opinion, Count Lecar is already a big scumbag."

After a pause, Puerh asked curiously, "What's the third method?""I know the cause of this incident was because of his past spending and his worn-out pants, but do we really need to spend time criticizing him at the meeting now?"

Karun replied:

"I am planning to personally design the funeral for Prince Henry. At the same time, I will have Old Anderson invite Her Majesty the Queen to attend the wedding and arrange for her to stay at the Allen Manor."

"Woof!!"

"Meow!!"

"Praise the young master!"

Karun raised his arms and spread out his hands,

In a deep voice, he said:

"Then, on that night, I will awaken Count Lecar, and have him take responsibility for his past debts."
