Chapter 794 - 509: New Hall Rules [09] The Show Is Just Beginning

"Is this the reason why Len Vaughn insists on giving the position of Hall Master to Nora Scott?!" An elder shouted angrily, his face flushed with excitement, "This is too ridiculous!"

Elder Zhang frowned unhappily, "Weren’t you the ones who forced Len Vaughn to abdicate?"

"You!"

The elder gritted his teeth but had nothing to say.

Len Vaughn’s grandson, Alexander Vaughn, used a batch of counterfeit antiques to harm Biel Hall, so they naturally blamed Len Vaughn for insufficient discipline.

Under pressure, Len Vaughn stepped down.

However, none of the candidates presented were accepted, and he appointed Nora Scott.

At that time, he gave the elders two choices—either he would remain as the Hall Master, or they would agree to his chosen candidate.

Compared to Len Vaughn, it was obvious that a completely inexperienced newcomer would be easier to control. Even though they argued and resisted, they ultimately chose the latter.

...

Second floor, study room.

Fátima was leisurely eating cut pineapple pieces and casually asked Nora Scott, "Is this how you came to be the Hall Master?"

"I don’t know." Nora Scott rested her chin on her hand and said indifferently, "The old Hall Master said he valued my abilities and wasn’t aware I was Antonio Easton’s granddaughter when he met me. Although the truth of this is known only to him."

After learning about the many things Alexander Vaughn did behind the scenes last time, Nora Scott didn’t have the chance to visit Len Vaughn. But after hearing from Boss Alex about Len Vaughn and Antonio Easton’s past, she still chose to visit Len Vaughn once, and also asked why he wanted her to be the Hall Master.

Len Vaughn was quite sincere, stating plainly that Antonio Easton wanted no involvement with Biel Hall, so he didn’t know Antonio Easton’s current situation, and knowing Nora Scott was purely accidental. As for choosing Nora Scott as Hall Master, it was entirely because he valued her strength, unrelated to Antonio Easton.

Nora Scott knew what he valued about her.

1. She had connections in the Northwest, so upon taking office, she could forcibly suppress the backlash from the members of Biel Hall.

2. Biel Hall was starting to develop in a new direction and needed a new system, and none of the internal members could carry out the reforms. Among Len Vaughn’s existing choices, only Nora Scott was capable of this.

3. Nora Scott had no greed for Biel Hall and would not misuse its power to do anything outrageous.

However, whether this involved Antonio Easton or not, Nora Scott couldn’t ascertain.

Fátima chuckled, "Sir Easton is deeply hidden."

As a child, she only found it strange why her grandfather, James Mason, and Antonio Easton became close friends. Though the former made many friends, he was quite selective about close friends, with not many who could be counted.

In comparison, James Mason’s close friends had a bit of capability, but Antonio Easton... was just a locksmith.

As she grew older and saw Antonio Easton’s mechanical techniques, Fátima got a rough idea in her mind. Yet, she didn’t expect she was still underestimating him.

"Speaking of Sir Easton..."

Fátima paused, suddenly saying, "My grandfather said he has a blueprint with him. I’m planning to go to Andongel soon, see Mr. Sullivan and the elderly, maybe sweep some graves, and he asked me to bring it to you."

Nora Scott asked in confusion, "What blueprint?"

"I didn’t ask."

Fátima could barely understand the drawings that Nora Scott casually sketched, let alone the professional engineering blueprints of Antonio Easton. So, to avoid embarrassing herself, she didn’t ask at all.

"..."

Nora Scott blinked, thinking her mentor might not know either, so she said nothing.

While the two chatted upstairs, the elders in the living room calmed down. Thinking of how Nora Scott had a hold over them made them feel as if a stone was pressing on their hearts, leaving them breathless. It was pointless to pursue old grievances, so they resignedly and dejectedly chose seats, sitting like withered leaves, pretending to be zombies.

Agent Loughton wouldn’t have it.

He grew up in Biel Hall, and when Antonio Easton was showing his skills there, he was still a little kid, but he had witnessed Antonio Easton’s prowess in mechanical techniques.

Now upon hearing about the relationship between Nora Scott and Antonio Easton, he completely abandoned the idea of "leaving through opening the villa’s mechanisms."

—Impossible.

The Eight Trigrams Array set up at an important base by Antonio Easton in Biel Hall, to this day, no one has broken through it. Not to mention the mechanisms installed at the base—even those recently emerging Xiangel City Sullivan Clan can’t compare.

After two minutes of frustration, Agent Loughton quickly regained his spirits. Seeing the box and the new hall regulations on the table, he was suddenly invigorated. He rushed over, flipped open the new regulations, and hurriedly signed his name with a pen.
