Chapter 388: Frank Becomes The Clan Lord?!
Chapter 388: Frank Becomes The Clan Lord?!
-----
Frank had been declared the Clan\'s Lord! It was quickly announced to every single member of the clan just a few minutes after all of this happened.
The Great Ancestor felt happy that she was able to repent with Frank for everything her clan did to him, even if it wasn\'t as exaggerated as she thought it was.
She felt even more radiant than before as if a heavyweight was lifted from her shoulders…
She spoke with a radiant smile to all members.
"Members of the Monk Clan, I have come to announce my engagement to my future husband, Frank. He is a powerful warrior chosen by Gaia to save the world. I am more than happy to be at his side from now on, and so all of you should be, as from now on, he shall be called Lord of the Clan, and will become a figure even higher than mine. His authority will be supreme. All those that dare oppose him shall know divine wrath. If you have any opposition to this decision. You can come to voice your opinions to the tower, I will be waiting for any of you," said the Great Ancestor, everyone was left speechless.
Unlike her and the Elders, most of the people in the clan didn\'t even know who Frank was! Some barely remembered that there was a newbie named Frank…
To most of the clan members, it was as if a literal nobody had become the clan leader!
How could this even make any sense to them?
Of course, they would get angry!
However… the Great Ancestor had said that those that opposed him would know divine wrath. And that if they wanted to voice their opinions, that they could go talk directly at her… probably to be punished for their insolence.
There was no way out of this situation.
They either accepted it and continued being clan members as if nothing or they were welcomed to leave the clan and be left without protection from the underworld organizations and everything else…
It was their choice.
"WHAT IS THIS?!"
"EEEEH?!"
"Who is that guy?!"
"Well, he\'s handsome…"
"Still!"
"How can… Eh?!"
"The Great Ancestor… I thought she would never get engaged…"
"Does this means that there will be a successor one of these days?"
"Stop talking! I thought Great Ancestor-sama was a pure maiden! I don\'t want to imagine that Chud touching her!!!"
"Yeah, it fills me with frustration! I thought she was our protector…!"
As many people voiced their opinions, many of them ended offending the Great Ancestor and Frank, so they immediately saw as their contribution points began to lower, each insult was around 10k contribution points, many of these idiots saw their life savings disappearing in the fraction of seconds.
And when they reached 0, it would turn negative and they would own contribution points instead, without being able to escape until they were to pay, or else, they would be thrown into the clan\'s jail and forced to do missions and work to pay their debts…
However, thankfully, after seeing some people getting negative numbers of -1 million, many stopped saying another word…
"The Great Ancestor is also a person, you know?"
"Y-Yeah… And she\'s also a woman, I don\'t see anything wrong with he is finding a man she loves and marrying him!"
"Indeed, it is her right… Where do you think she came from? She didn\'t spontaneously emerge out of thin air, she also had a father, and her mother was also a demigoddess."
There were also some people defending her decision, although most of them were boot lickers that just wanted to get to her good side and not get punished.
In the end, things ended quite… "well".
Frank was a bit overwhelmed, but he decided that this was still the best answer he could have given, after all, how could he have missed such a great opportunity to get a new demigoddess wife?
…
…No, wait, it wasn\'t about that, it was about the treasures!
There were millenary divine treasures left by Amaterasu and also the Great Ancestor\'s mother, some that could be at his level of power or perhaps even higher, which could be a nice addition to his collection of power… Additionally, there were also scrolls with techniques, grimoires with powerful divine magic, and more! All of that could quickly bring Frank to even new levels of power, giving him the possibility to acquire new abilities.
There were even maps that led to inheritances where he could get even more treasures!
And then, there was the entire clan itself, filled with treasures and items of all sorts. Although he had a lot of his own, which Orb continued to produce through the dungeon… But still!
And then there was the entire members, all strong soldiers… ready to serve him!
And even more than that, there was the whole quest system, the contribution points system, and more… It was an entire organization that has been existing and protecting Japan for generations, it was an amazing gift like nothing he had ever expected…
After he finally shook off the initial shock, he found this amazing, it couldn\'t have gone any better.
He was happy that he was not a cliché character that would have not accepted such an offer out of humbleness or something…
Now that Frank was done with this, he wanted to go into his divine realm and revive his parents.
But…
A large feast quickly began inside the tower, as the Elders were drowning themselves in sake to cure the pain, while Frank sat at the side of the Great Ancestor while wearing ceremonial clothes resembling a very refined kimono.
At his side, the Great Ancestor looked like a radiant beauty, wearing a traditional wife Japanese kimono-like dress.
It was as if this was like the party after the marriage.
"Now that it was announced publicly, we need to do a small ritual in the shrine and our compromise should be sealed, my lord," said the Great Ancestor with a gentle smile.
"I see… Do you really need to do this? Can\'t we wait a bit?" asked Frank.
"Ah, yes, just as Gwendolyn-sama said, I will wait for you to bless me with a child on another occasion, but this ritual must be done immediately so my Grandmother can recognize our engagement!" said the Great Ancestor.
"Alright…" sighed Frank. He wanted the treasures, so he decided to accept this little thing. After going through so much before, this really didn\'t seem like much.
What else awaits Frank next?!
