Chapter 410 A stunning decision (2)
Although the audience outside was shocked by that final announcement and were confused about what might happen, Gray Allen's words had all their weight in gold, so they did not hesitate a bit about what he said.
But inside the compound, the situation infuriated the Allen Leaders.
"Gray Allen, you're crazy!" they shouted in great anger.

Their Clan could not punch each other in the face like that; they could not elect a foreigner as Leader! That would be a disgrace, it would be showing the world that they didn't have such capable people as foreigners.
They all wanted to shout that at him, but because of those present, they couldn't do it.
That was why they were so furious, but Gray Allen glared at them fiercely, sending a strange power towards them that hit hard with each of their bodies.
That powerful attack drove them back. "Who do you think you are to yell at me like that?" replied Gray fiercely.
His attack and power were so fast that very few people among those present could see it, which meant that this guy was angry.
And angering Gray Allen is not a wise thing to do, even within the Allen Clan that is a famous saying.
"Hmph, the old Leader supports my decision and that's all the weight I need to elect him. If you have anything else to say, why don't you go to the old man? I want to see if you can convince him not to take it." Gray replied. His tone of voice sounded annoyed.
And although his words surprised everyone, Matt at that moment stood up and looked at them all.
His look made everyone present frown and look at him curiously.
"I don't have to explain myself, but I am also surprised by Mr. Gray's decision. It is the first time I have met someone so interesting in my life, perhaps it is due to the skills he handles, so he has my praise. Still, there are several things I must say since I was chosen.
I'm not from the Clan, so I know you all will object to this, but among everyone here, I'm pretty sure I'm the most qualified to lead the current most powerful clan." Matt replied. Although he was being realistic, what he said made him come across as arrogant, in the eyes of those who were angry.
Others simply saw him as confident, as they had heard of his exploits.
Whatever the case, these statements were not going to go unnoticed by such powerful and, to a certain extent, diplomatic people.
Some were annoyed but held back the urge to scold this impertinent brat.
"Oh? Those are strong statements. I'd really like to understand what you have to offer for you to say such things. There are 3 Heirs with Destiny in this place. 2 of which are competing for the position.
One of them is the current most powerful 3rd Heir, and the other has the ability to catch up to the 3 most powerful in the near future; how will you be more qualified than them to lead us?" Asked one of the strongest among those present, who belonged to the Allen Clan, naturally.
He was a person known throughout the world. Not only did he belong to the most powerful Clan, but he was also one of those who made the Clan so powerful, so his fame was spread all over the world.
Matt didn't know his name or who he was; all he knew was that this man was immensely strong—much stronger than the man he killed on the border of the Human Empire.
Because of this, he assumed he would be one of Allen's high commanders, so he nodded to him.
"You should be one of the ones who knows when I came to the Clan and how much Vampire Power I had at the time." Matt said, causing the man to frown and nod.
"Naturally, at the time, I believed Lord Gray's perception. But on this occasion, I must strongly oppose it, and I doubt very much if you have anything to change my mind. Our Jack already has over 100,000 of power and has long prepared for it.
I have nothing against you, and I recognize that you are a talented young man who is worth the Allens can raise, but you cannot match Jack or Miss Alice, who, with good teachers, can become a great Leader." He replied firmly.
He didn't speak overbearingly or arrogantly. In fact, he came across as a reasonable person, and what he said made sense.
Even Matt agreed with him.
"I agree with you. Alice has the potential to be the strongest of the Heiresses, of that I am certain. As for Lord Jack, I don't know him, but I recognize his power and bravery. Still, to say I can't match them is a great fallacy." Matt said and turned to grab the vampiric ball Gray Allen already had ready.
He immediately used it and looked at the man. "When I said I am the most qualified to be, it is because my potential for growth is unlike any of you. And this also involves Mr. Gray," Matt replied.
His claim that he was even above Gray Allen was almost the last straw. To say he was above Gray Allen in anything was an insult to everything, but before they could react...
An astonishing number shone above the ball.
That number, which seemed unreal, shone with a strange intensity in the eyes of everyone present. Even more so in the eyes of those who knew the power Matthew had when he came here.
Many of them almost choked on their saliva, briefly experiencing tremendous shock.
For that brief moment, silence reigned in the auditorium. But it didn't last long.
"How is this possible!?" shouted several people in shock.
Many of those present had no idea who Matt was, but seeing the vampiric power he had at such a young age shocked them.
Matt was also shocked, though. 'When did I increase my power by 2,000?' he thought with confusion. He didn't think he'd ever done things that would increase his power that much.
The vampire ball did not show the power it remembered having.
-Vampiric Power: 64,100.
'Among those people in the Academy, only three gave me 300 power each; the rest gave me nothing, maybe because they had Rings to increase their power. That's 900... Where did the rest come from?' Matt was confused after seeing this.
The exact increase was 2,100. He didn't know where it came from or what the hell it meant, but he felt it might be an increase thanks to him editing Isla or something similar.
'Maybe that skill has secrets I don't know.' He thought.
His ability, 'The Vampire', had several effects he didn't know that he met when using it, so this one could also be similar. But he didn't bother with anything else. Instead, he looked at the man he was talking to.
"Remember the amount of power I had when I got here and think about whether what I said before is a far-fetched statement."
