Chapter 788 - 504: New Hall Rules [04] Arranging the Elders Perfectly

"The theme of our meeting this time is just one thing—could the elders please cooperate by signing the new hall rules? Our new rules will be implemented no later than October."

The sentence ended.

The entire room was silent for three seconds.

Even Barton Mansfield and Amy Mansfield, who had just taken out seven suitcases from the room, almost stumbled and fell.

???

Hall Master, have you lost your mind!

Stating your purpose so bluntly with such a bandit-like tone, anyone with a bit of pride wouldn’t agree, let alone these highly respected elders of the hall.

As expected, after being shocked by the news for a few seconds, the seven elders couldn’t sit still any longer. They stood up in anger and glared at Nora Scott.

"Changing the hall rules?! What right do you have!"

Elder Carter fiercely tore the new hall rules in his hand and glared at Nora Scott, "The rules of Biel Hall have not been significantly changed in a hundred years! Even modifying any provision requires several rounds of discussions and unanimous agreement between all the elders and the Hall Master! What makes you think you can?!"

Nora Scott raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Because I am the current Hall Master, and without me, you would all become stray dogs."

"You!"

Elder Carter was so enraged that his blood pressure surged.

"Little girl, don’t be too arrogant! If we want, we can make you step down at any time!"

"Such big words! Just a mere few tens of millions, I want to see how you make us stray dogs!"

"Didn’t you learn the rules! Your position isn’t stable yet, and you are already so arrogant and lawless!"

"I’m telling you, these hall rules absolutely cannot be changed! Since you don’t want to be the Hall Master, then just wait!"

...

The other elders followed in protest, with one acting elder heading straight for the door, intending to open it.

However, after Nora Scott exchanged a look with Rosie Sullivan, who had already discreetly retreated to the wall, Rosie pressed down on an inconspicuous pebble on the wall.

Immediately—

"Bang!"

"Clack!"

"Clang!"

...

The sound of machinery echoed throughout the entire villa.

A sudden iron gate fell behind the closed door, and iron bars dropped from all the windows in the living room. The view in the living room suddenly became dim, and the next moment, lights turned on one after another. The bright light flooded the view, the elders looked around in confusion, and the lit lights caused their pupils to contract slightly.

It was bizarre!

And, after the brief surprise, there was unmistakable panic—

"You want to lock us in here?!"

"Nora Scott, do you know what you’re doing?!"

"Nora Scott! Do you think, just because we’re old, we can’t deal with you?!"

...

The irritable and impulsive elders either cursed, accused, or threatened harshly.

Even the calmest elder had their expression slightly crack in that brief moment.

"Let me explain—"

At some point, Nora Scott had a megaphone in her hand. Because the volume was not controlled, it sounded deafening in the enclosed space, and elders with weaker hearts nearly died on the spot.

Nora Scott noticed and turned the volume down a little, continuing, "First, the meeting lasts for seven days. During these seven days, no one will look for you. Of course, a few elders might find it inconvenient, but you will have to stay here—you’re free to move around on the first floor."

As if her words weren’t infuriating enough, her additional explanation made people feel like vomiting blood.

Damn, this villa isn’t that big, and they are only allowed to stay on the first floor for seven days?!

There’s not even enough space for them to sleep here!

"I know the elders are resourceful and brave. If you have the ability to crack the mechanisms and leave, feel free. Biel Hall is a place that respects the strong, and the Hall Master won’t use his position to oppress others."

Nora Scott spoke pompously.

Barton Mansfield + Amy Mansfield: "..." Who was it that wouldn’t let go of the token when they first came to Biel Security, using their position to oppress us to death, and now saying such shameless things?

"Second, I know you are reluctant to sign. Over these days, if anyone wants to change their mind, you can sign at any time, and I’ll let you leave first."

"Third—"

At this point, Nora Scott glanced at Barton Mansfield and Amy Mansfield.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately carried the suitcases over to the conference table, placing them down one by one and opening them.

They didn’t know what was inside until the moment they opened them, their eyelids twitched, and they couldn’t help being a little surprised.

Cash!

However—

Divided up, isn’t it a little less?

At the very least, it’s not enough to buy a single elder’s "signature."

Sure enough, seeing the contents of the suitcases, although the elders showed surprised expressions, after estimating that each suitcase held about a million in cash, they sneered disdainfully.
