The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 231: Processing Plant (3)_1

Situ Xin looked at the few people before him, searching through his past life memories, trying to see if they were acquaintances. Unfortunately, he found no memories about them. However, Situ Xin soon understood; these men were probably Old Deng’s die-hard loyalists. In his past life, Old Deng had not chosen a successor for The Dark Division until his death, and the subsequent Dark Division Leader was appointed from his own confidants by the new supreme leader during Old Deng’s time. Clearly, those who were fiercely loyal to Old Deng were unacceptable to the new Leader. With that in mind, how could Situ Xin have any memories of them? free𝑤ebnovel.com

Those people’s disrespect and ill-intentions towards Situ Xin, and their refusal to accept Baibai, did not escape notice. Baibai, lying in Situ Xin’s arms, flashed a cold light in its tiger eyes when looking at them. If not for the fact that it knew its master would become the master of The Dark Division, and that its master currently needed The Dark Division, it would surely have made those who dared to scorn and confront its Family Head suffer their deserved fates. Nonetheless, Baibai was not ready to let them off easily. With its tiger eyes, Baibai deeply glanced at those few people, as if to etch their faces into its brain.

The few people dressed in strong outfits suddenly felt a chilling sensation on their backs. Little did they know that, because of their look today, Baibai would cause them to scream incessantly in the future. Of course, that’s a story for another time.

"Leader, good to see you." Those people in strong outfits, regardless of what they were thinking inside, hurriedly walked over to greet Old Deng when they saw him.

"Yes, Xiang Yang, Wu Qing, you guys come here quick, I have some people to introduce to you." Old Deng, in a good mood, beckoned them closer.

Those people in strong outfits were very obedient to Old Deng’s words, hastening to a spot half a meter away from Old Deng to stand still.

"Ah, Xiao Xin girl, come over here." Old Deng called for Situ Xin to stand by his side, and when Situ Xin walked over, he swiftly pulled her to his side, saying, "This girl is the new Dark Division Leader I was telling you about on the phone yesterday."

As soon as Old Deng spoke, the expression on the faces of those Dark Division members present changed. Try as they might to conceal it, Situ Xin still saw the unpleasantness in their faces.

One of the older men, amid the gazes of the group, stepped forward and said to Old Deng, "Old Deng, you know what the members of The Dark Division are like. It’s hard for them to submit to someone unless they truly believe in that person." Having said that, the man glanced at Situ Xin briefly before immediately turning his gaze back to Old Deng, asking in an inquiring tone, "Old Deng, what do you think?"

Old Deng, having anticipated such a situation before coming here, still found it hard to maintain a pleasant expression when faced with the challenge from someone he had personally trained.

Standing beside Situ Xin, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo saw the way that man looked at Situ Xin and listened to his words. Old Master Situ, whose temper was already poor, was also reluctant for his precious granddaughter to take up the position of Dark Division Leader. His patience ran thin, and he was the first to lose his temper, "Hmph, what kind of tone is this, what kind of attitude? Let me tell you, my Baby doesn’t even care for your so-called Dark Division Leader position. Baby, let’s go home."

Situ Xin, seeing his sister flare up, inwardly cursed the situation. Knowing well the temperament of his grandfather, Situ Xin was aware that his grandfather truly could not bear to see him slighted.

Rushing to his grandfather’s side, Situ Xin grabbed Old Master Situ’s hand, coaxing in a spoilt voice, "Grandfather, please don’t be hasty."

Old Deng also hurriedly came forward, comforting Old Master Situ, "Situ, Old Lu, don’t be so agitated, I’m here. I will pacify them."

While Old Deng was saying this, he glanced at Xiang Yang and his group, just as he was about to speak.

He then heard one of the group, a refined-looking man, speak up, "Old Deng, the Big Brother is not wrong. To be the new Leader of The Dark Division, one must convince me both in heart and voice. Otherwise, even if you hand over The Dark Division to her, we will not follow her commands."

"You guys." Just when he had finally found a successor, he saw her on the verge of being driven away by these youngsters, and Old Deng was so frustrated he couldn’t speak. Old Deng glanced at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo and saw their darkening faces, which made him internally dread the situation.

He knew very well that both old masters were truly against Situ Xin taking over The Dark Division. Just last night, he had received calls from both of them, trying to persuade him to give up the idea of Situ Xin taking charge of The Dark Division.

Just as Old Deng was about to say something, Old Master Loo, who had been silent, spoke in a deep voice to Situ Xin, "Baby, let’s go. Since they don’t recognize you, let them find someone they do recognize then."

"Right, if they look down on Baby, we don’t care either." Old Master Situ said gruffly.

Now, Old Deng looked at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, full of regret. He regretted being so soft-hearted at that time, bringing along two troublesome old guards who were fiercely protective of their calf.

Situ Xin, seeing the two old masters visibly upset, felt quite a headache. She let go of Baibai with one hand and massaged her somewhat aching temples, saying, "Grandpa, Grandfather, whether I take over The Dark Division or not, I can’t leave right now. If I walk away now, that will definitely be seen as an admission of their beliefs about me, that I’m not capable." She wasn’t angry with the actions of the people from The Dark Division, as she understood them; after all, she had once been one of them.

"Then Baby, what do you mean?" Old Master Situ’s "Heartbeat" wavered after hearing Situ Xin’s words. His steadfast belief from his military life dictated one must not be a deserter.

"Of course, it’s to make them convinced by heart and voice," Situ Xin said proudly, standing straight up.

"But..." Although Old Master Situ strongly agreed with Situ Xin’s view, when he looked at her small frame, his heart wavered.

Old Master Loo had initially wanted to express his opposition, but seeing the determination and confidence on Situ Xin’s face, he swallowed the words he was about to say. He had a feeling that his granddaughter would amaze people, "Baby, do whatever you think is right. Just remember, take care of yourself, don’t get hurt, and remember, you’re not alone—we’re all here with you. You understand?" Old Master Loo reached out and rubbed the head of Situ Xin, who had now grown as tall as his waist, feeling a sigh of admiration at how quickly time had passed. In the blink of an eye, this little baby, once so tiny in his arms, had grown so tall.
