Horace snorted and said, “Third Elder, it’s wrong for you to say that. Since my nephew arrived on the island from the outside world today, your branch family has sent four waves of people to repeatedly harass my nephew. You even want to detain the heir of the main family. If my elder brother catches wind of this matter, do you think your branch family can still live quietly on the island?” “Hehe, Horace, are you trying to use the patriarch to threaten us now? If so, then you’re wrong! Our branch family has our chieftain and rules. Even Roger can’t easily interfere in our branch family's affairs!” Desmond shouted, and the cold intent in his eyes grew more exuberant! If they could not take down Philip today, it would not only be a loss of dignity to the branch family but also a loss of prestige! In the future, it would be difficult for the branch family to do anything! Wade also sneered and said, “Horace, have your men withdraw immediately and don’t hinder me from taking down t
Hearing this, Wade’s face dripped with cold sweat! Damn it! Horace had actually taken that step! In that case, why did he behave so meekly in the Clarke family in recent years? Anyone who had taken that step was not an ordinary person! Wade had been fumbling around for ten years but could never take that step, always hovering at the edge. Instantly, he felt a little flustered. If Horace was speaking the truth, then there was no way Wade could defeat him! This was their gap in strength and the difference of the realms! There was a look of horror in Wade’s eyes as he kept scrutinizing Horace. After a while, he bit the bullet and said, “Horace, even if you’ve taken that step, so what? I’m Wade Clarke of the branch family. I’m acting according to the family rules and am here on behalf of the law enforcement hall to make an arrest. If you dare stop me, you’ll be fighting against the branch family and law enforcement hall!” “The branch family?” Horace sneered and said o
Uncle Horace. Compared to Uncle Tim, he was not inferior. Back then, Uncle Horace once wielded a sword alone and disabled an elder of the law enforcement hall. At that time, the elders of the branch family rallied and attacked. The entire law enforcement hall, from inside out, was surrounded by guards from the branch family. However, a miracle happened! Just like that, Uncle Horace fearlessly walked out of the law enforcement hall in his white clothes while holding a long sword dripping with blood. Since that incident, Uncle Horace took up the position as one of the ten elders of the law enforcement hall. Later, it was rumored that a verbal message from the first elder came out of the courtyard before the branch family stopped. After that time, Uncle Horace’s fame in the Clarke family shot through the roof! Many years had passed. Uncle Horace had never made a move since that incident and became unknown again. However, everyone knew that he was a lion pretending to
The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out! Horace’s Leopard Cavalier and Wade’s Tiger Guards had already gotten into formation by now! They were just waiting for their master’s command! However, at this moment, Philip walked over leisurely and said to Horace, “Uncle Horace, forget it. I’ll go with them to the branch family.” Hiss! As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent. Horace looked at Philip in disbelief and said, “Philip, what are you saying? You want to go to the branch family with them? You can’t do that! Don’t worry. With me around, there won’t be a problem here! Wade won’t dare to do anything to you! If he does, I’ll be the first to go after him! And I won’t spare the branch family either!” On the other side, Wade and Desmond were also very surprised. They exchanged a glance and wondered what Philip was up to. Why did he agree to their request so suddenly? What was he trying to do by putting on that murderous and death-defying look just now? Wade
“Very well, then! Everyone, let’s return! I want to see how arrogant this boy can still be once he gets to the branch family!” Wade shouted angrily and put his hands behind his back. Philip smiled calmly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and led the way. Behind him, the Griffin Army formed a square and followed closely. Wade and Desmond lagged behind everyone for fear that Philip would escape halfway. Horace looked at Philip getting farther away with his eyebrows raised in contemplation. What the hell was this brat trying to do? Was he going to kick up a big fuss in the branch family? Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Horace’s face. However, after thinking about it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After not seeing this brat for seven years, he dared to create such a big commotion when he just returned. In that case, Horace would go along with him for once. “Men, inform Third Madam as soon as possible. The rest of you, follow
It was just brief eye contact. Philip did not have much of an impression of Lex. The number of times he met Lex could be counted on one hand. Besides, Lex seldom did anything influential in the branch family and his reputation was so-so. At this moment, a man in a black outfit with burly muscles stood behind Lex. Next to him was a charming woman in a short purple dress, a pair of black high heels, and her hair was in a high ponytail. “Second Young Master, aren't you going to take a look?” the woman said, her voice soft. A delicate chill flashed in Lex’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Of course, why not? It’s so interesting. It’d be a waste to miss it.” As soon as he said that, the burly man in black attire straightened up from the wall he was leaning against and said, “Let me check out the situation first.” Lex shook his head and said, “No need. No one will make a move against me at this time. Just go with ease and confidence.” After saying that, Lex stared at Philip
Some young masters and young ladies present did not get a close look at the Griffin Army earlier as they were a distance away. At the majestic sight of the Griffin Army now, they could not help but tremble! What a strong aura! Was the young master of the main family here to admit his mistakes or pick a fight? Thud, thud. As their imaginations ran wild, Philip had already stepped into the memorial hall. He was standing in everyone’s sight fearlessly. Hansel immediately got angry and slammed his palm on the chair. He shouted, “Philip, how dare you?! Why aren’t you kneeling upon seeing your granduncles?” Philip smiled blandly and raised his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with disdain as he said, “You’re not worthy for me to kneel to you.” Smack! Hansel was furious and immediately stood up with a face full of anger. He pointed at Philip and roared, “Presumptuous! This is the branch family’s memorial hall. We are your granduncles. The purpose of opening the hall today is to
At Wade’s command, four guards with law enforcement batons immediately rushed in from the main entrance of the memorial hall. The law enforcement batons in their hands were made of redwood. They were as thick as an arm and engraved with the Clarke family rules. Clatter! The four guards knocked the law enforcement batons onto the floor tiles. The young masters and young ladies watching the excitement went pale with fright. They were about to enforce the family rules in front of the branch family’s memorial plaques! If Philip got hit with the wooden batons, even if he did not die, a layer of his skin would surely be peeled off! In the crowd, the elders and people in charge of the branch family sat on the chairs with faces filled with anger, as well as cold ridicule and sarcasm! An old man with a goatee stroked his beard and sneered. “Huh, a child of the main family dares to be so arrogant and rebellious in the branch family’s memorial hall. Master Wade, I think breaking his
