Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Inside the Marquis Casas's mansion, in a long and quiet corridor, two figures were walking side by side, one tall and thin, the other fat, talking in low voices, as if they had many doubts in their hearts.

"Brother, why does father favor the outsider Monardo so much? My training resources this month have also been cut, and I'm afraid they have all been allocated to him. I don't know what he is calling us for this time? Are he going to withhold our resources again?" The fat young man in a gorgeous red suit was full of dissatisfaction and complaints in his tone.

"Geta, be careful with your words. Father's actions have their own hidden meanings, and we cannot speculate. Besides, since Monardo has become a member of the family, he is our brother, and we need to be more respectful in our words." The tall and thin young man had a slightly gloomy face and a calm and warning tone in his voice. He was the eldest son, Gaine Casas.

These two are the only male heirs of Marquis Casas.

The eldest son is Gain Casas, and the second son is Geta Casas.

"Tsk, I think father just favors him and looks down on us. Since he arrived, we hardly see father for a month." Gaeta complained, his tone full of helplessness and resentment.

Faced with this irrefutable fact, Gain could only remain silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.

At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps came from a distance, interrupting the conversation between the two. The figure of Marquis Casas appeared at the end of the corridor. He had a dignified face and deep eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts. Behind him, there followed a young man who was not particularly tall, but had an extraordinary temperament, was extremely handsome, and had short platinum hair. It was Monardo who caused a lot of dissatisfaction between the two brothers.

"Father." Gain and Gaita saluted hurriedly. Although they had many dissatisfactions in their hearts, they still maintained proper etiquette in front of their father.

Marquis Casas nodded slightly, without even looking at the two of them, and walked straight to the conference room at the end of the aisle.

Such an indifferent attitude made Gain and the other man feel a little upset after they recalled the conversation just now.

In fact, before Monardo arrived, Marquis Casas treated them in the same manner.

But compared with Casas' attitude towards Monardo, especially since Monardo was an illegitimate child of unknown identity, the two direct descendants naturally felt very uncomfortable, especially Gaeta, who was used to being relaxed and free, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Monardo very directly.

Monardo... that is, Amona disguised as a man, walked quickly past them, glanced at the two of them, grinned slightly, but did not say anything.

With Amona's cheerful and lively personality, unless there are explicit requirements in the Beast Soul Alliance's mission, or she judges that there should be no complications during the mission, she tends to do the mission happily and will actively communicate and get along with the people and things she encounters during the mission.

However, after being recalled as a illegitimate child more than a month ago and having a brief contact with these two people, she no longer had the intention of being nice to them.

Gain would be fine, but Geta is a typical dandy aristocrat, incompetent, pleasure-seeking, arrogant and domineering. He looks down on Monardo, who is disguised as Amona.

Gain's attitude can only be described as ordinary, but based on Amona's observation, this guy is very cold to everyone, probably because of his personality.

All in all, the two male descendants of Marquis Casas were difficult to approach, and Amona was too lazy to curry favor with them, so she chose to get along with Casas' daughters.

However, as a death warrior, Amona is essentially a person who is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. These female relatives are just a little spice in her life. If the Beast Soul Alliance needs her, she can probably kill without mercy those who have been smiling at her during this period of time.

"Humph, what's that boy's attitude!"

Seeing the flash of ridicule on Amona's face, Gaeta couldn't help but complain to everyone in a low voice. In Casas's family, except for his father, everyone followed his temper. He was used to being domineering and being flattered, so he was naturally unhappy with Amona's seemingly disdainful attitude.

Gain frowned and stopped him softly: "Gaita, have you forgotten what I just said to you?"

Although he also had some reservations about Amona, since Marquis Casas had approved of Amona, he thought it was not their turn to interfere.

"understood."

Geta curled his lips unwillingly, but said nothing more, though there was still some resentment in his eyes.

The two brothers then quickened their pace.

Then, the two of them were led by the servants at the door into the conference room and each found a seat to sit down.

The position chosen would naturally not be next to Amona who had taken the lead, but the opposite position.

Marquis Casas was sitting at the head of the group, silently observing Guyon and the other two. His face, which was in the backlight, looked gloomy and blurry, thus concealing the movement of his gaze.

The light in the meeting room was dim, and the fire in the fireplace danced in the silence, as if silently watching the subtle dynamics within the family.

After the servants had left the meeting room, Marquis Casas finally spoke.

"I called you here today because I have an important announcement to make."

There was a certain solemnity in Marquis Casas' words, which made the three people present straighten their backs involuntarily.

Marquis Casas' voice echoed in the conference hall with unquestionable authority: "Recently, a major event occurred in the empire. Our prince Davis was unfortunately killed during an outdoor training. Well, at least that's what the emperor will claim after this."

Upon hearing this, Gain and Gaita were both surprised, especially Gaita, who almost cried out in surprise. But when he remembered that this was the meeting room and he was in the presence of Marquis Casas, he stopped thinking about it.

"You may not know what this means yet, so I'll just say it straight away."

Marquis Casas paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The Xingluo Empire has decided to start a new round of crown prince elections. All noble children who meet the requirements can participate."

Marquis Casas's eyes swept over the three children one by one, and finally stopped at Amona's face: "We, the Casas family, naturally cannot fall behind. Monaldo has decided to participate in this competition."

After these words came out, Geta could no longer hold back, and stood up suddenly, with a bit of excitement and dissatisfaction in his voice: "Father, how can you let an unknown illegitimate child represent our family? An illegitimate child to run for the crown prince? I'm afraid that our Casas family will become a laughing stock of Xing Luo!"

Although Gain also had his doubts in his heart, he knew the cruelty of the competition for the crown prince. For impoverished nobles like them, it was common sense not to participate. But even if they chose to participate, how could they let an illegitimate child go?
But he knew better than to confront Marquis Casas head-on at this time, so he quickly reached out to hold Gaeta and whispered, "Gaeta, calm down, your father has his own considerations."

Marquis Casas looked at the excited Gaeta, without showing any emotion on his face, and simply said: "I have already investigated Monaldo's identity. He is indeed my bloodline."

"But..." Geta wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Marquis Casas.

"No buts. This is the family's decision." Marquis Casas' voice was filled with unquestionable majesty. "Gain, Gaeta, as the direct descendants of the family, you should set an example and support the family's decision. Monardo's participation in the election is not only for his personal glory, but also for the future of our entire Casas family. The most important thing is... he has the ability to do so."

Under his father's majestic gaze, Geta could only sit down unwillingly.

Gain also remained silent.

ability……

Gain knew that the most important thing to run for the position of crown prince was to possess the White Tiger Martial Spirit.

He and his brother did successfully awaken the White Tiger Martial Spirit.

But just like the innate spirit power of awakened Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirits, there are also different levels. The Evil Eyed White Tiger is a top-level spirit, but not everyone has a top-level spirit when awakening. Both brothers only have innate spirit power level 5. Rather than saying that the spirit is an Evil Eyed White Tiger, it is better to say that it is an ordinary white tiger, but it contains the blood of the Evil Eyed White Tiger.

Gain is 25 years old this year, and his soul power level is only 38th level Soul Master. Gaita is 19 years old and is a 29th level Great Soul Master.

Just as Marquis Casas said, with such talent and strength, there is no hope of winning the position of crown prince.

Gaeta stopped making noise, and Marquis Casas continued, "There are only two conditions for participating in the competition. The first one, you can all guess, that is, at least awaken the White Tiger Martial Spirit. There is nothing to say about this. To inherit the Dai surname, even if you don't have the Evil Eyed White Tiger Martial Spirit, you must at least have the White Swan Martial Spirit. The second one is age, the maximum cannot exceed 22 years old."

When Gain heard this, he immediately realized that this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, he was already 25 years old, so he turned his gaze to his younger brother.

"Gain no longer meets the conditions, Gaita, what do you think?" Marquis Casas also turned his gaze to Gaita, waiting for his answer.

Without waiting for Gaeta to answer, Gain realized that Gaeta was hostile to Amona, and it was very likely that he was getting the better of him. He immediately interrupted and said, "The road to the crown prince competition is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be doomed. What's more, Gaeta, with your strength and talent, there is no way you can win. Don't pay an irreparable price for a momentary impulse."

Faced with the admonitions of his respected brother, Geta's passion cooled down a little.

He glanced at Amona, who had remained calm, and suddenly realized that Marquis Casas had no objection to Gain's words. Considering Marquis Casas's previous words...

"So, this guy is very powerful?"

He suddenly felt something in his heart, turned his head to look at Marquis Casas, and responded: "Father, I will not participate."

Marquis Casas nodded slightly: "Then it is confirmed."

With a bang, the Gain brothers closed the door and left.

Silence, silence for a long while.

"Pfft hahaha!!!"

Amona pointed at Marquis Casas and laughed: "Kui, you are a very good father! These two idiots haven't noticed anything wrong yet!"

Marquis Casas... or more precisely, Kui frowned and said, "Amona, be serious when you are on a mission. Be careful not to say anything out of turn, or you might leak information and ruin the leader's plan!"

"Didn't I hold back my laughter until they were far away?" Amona pouted in dissatisfaction, but when she saw Kui's serious look, she finally stopped talking.

It has actually been about two months since the Beast Soul Alliance took control of the Casas family.

The Marquisate of Casas is adjacent to the Calamity Mountain Range. Shortly after the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce was established, it contacted it and carried out a certain degree of cooperation.

The cooperation mainly focuses on the transportation of materials across the two empires.

During this period, the people of the Beast Soul Alliance have continued to investigate Marquis Casas's interpersonal relationships, living habits, and behavior.

When the time was right, he could easily replace the dead with the dead.

So easy.

Firstly, Marquis Casas himself is weak.

In this world where the strong are respected, their strength is naturally not that good if they have fallen to the point where they are even inferior to some earl families.

You know, in the Xing Luo Empire, a normal earl family can possess Soul Saint level combat power.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the marquis, duke and other higher-level ones have soul masters with higher combat power. After all, merit, kinship and other aspects are also important considerations for the title.

After all, in the Xing Luo Empire, Soul Douluo is the highest military force in the open, and only the marquis and duke families in their heyday can afford to support them.

But the problem is that Marquis Casas himself is just a Soul King.

The Soul King is already a powerful man, but his status as a marquis is nothing compared to his title.

To the current Beast Soul Alliance, the Soul King is no different from a bug.

There is no need to send out top-notch combat forces; the middle-level combat forces are enough to win.

The difficulty of Li Dai Tao Jiang does not lie in his strength, but in how to deceive those people who are familiar to Marquis Casas.

But this is not difficult.

As the Marquisate fell into decline, Marquis Casas was no longer close to the nobles.

The ones who need to worry about being exposed the most are Marquis Casas' children and wife.

If not for this, the Beast Soul Alliance wouldn't have to prepare for action for so long.

Marquis Casas had three wives and concubines and seven children.

In fact, his three wives were replaced by people from the Beast Soul Alliance afterwards.

With the camouflage method that You Chen obtained from the system, plus the homework done several months in advance, today, the Beast Soul Alliance can be said to have completely controlled this impoverished aristocratic family.

In this way, the transactions and circulation between the Marquis Casas family and the Beast Soul Chamber of Commerce can be more direct.

After all, it's just a job of transferring money from one hand to the other.

With Kui replacing Marquis Casas and with the support of the Beast Soul Alliance, many things that Marquis Casas originally dared not to do no longer had to worry about.

For example, the private soldiers of the neighboring nobles who had taken advantage of Marquis Casas' weakness and disguised themselves as thieves to plunder the border of the Marquis's territory were completely crushed during these two months, and even directly fought back and broke into the other party's territory.

This also caused a heated discussion and sensation in the northwest border of the Xingluo Empire.

If it weren't for the real earthquake in the imperial capital today that attracted everyone's attention, the changes in the Marquisate of Casas would have also caused heated discussions among many Xingluo nobles. (End of this chapter)
