“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
Seeing that Philip could still behave so arrogantly in such a situation, the old man with a goatee got angry. His eyes widened as he slapped the table. Standing up, he pointed at Philip angrily and shouted, “How dare you speak to me in this manner? Well, since you want to know, I see no harm in telling you. My name is Ted Clarke!” “Ted Clarke?” Philip frowned and murmured before he raised his eyebrows. With a mocking smile, he said, “Sorry, I'm not familiar with this name.” “What do you mean?” Ted scowled. What did this kid mean by that? Was his reputation so obscure? Philip chuckled and said, “It only means one thing. For an unknown old guy like you, I think you’re nothing but a useless piece of crap with no contribution to the Clarke family. An old thing like you should rest in peace earlier!” Hiss! Instantly, the entire memorial hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Philip in disbelief. This guy was so cocky! This was the branch family’s memorial hall that was f
“Haha!” Wade laughed and said, “Philip boy, you think too highly of yourself. This is the branch family, not your main family! Here, the branch family rules over the sky! Get down on your knees at once!” Philip snorted and asked instead, “Really? Okay, I’ll kneel, then.” As soon as Philip said that, Wade was taken aback. Was he going to kneel just like that? The elders and people in charge of the branch family were also slightly startled. However, they were instantly overwhelmed by anger. “Kneel! That’s right, on your knees at once!” “Hehe, I’m afraid it’s too late for him to kneel now!” “Yes, he’s too insolent. It’s useless even if he kneels now. He must be punished severely! Otherwise, others will think that the branch family is a pushover!” For a while, everyone’s anger was ignited again. Among them, Ted Clarke was the most furious. At his age, he was actually slapped twice by a junior in front of all the elders and people in charge of the branch family! Hatefu
Damn it! They finally got the chance to bring this kid to the branch family’s memorial hall and were about to lay their hands on him when the Sovereignty Seal suddenly appeared and disrupted their plans! The hell with kneeling! Desmond shook his head slightly and looked at Hansel and Salem, who also looked helpless. Then, Desmond suddenly whispered to Wade, “Wade, check and see if the ring is a fake.” Hearing that, Wade understood. He said to Philip, “Boy, show me the ring!” Philip knew they would do this. He casually tossed the ring to Wade and said nonchalantly, “Take a good look at it and give it back to me.” After that, he walked to a chair on the side and sat down swaggeringly. Looking at this scene, everyone was furious but no one dared to speak up. All of them came to Wade’s side and looked at the Sovereignty Seal in his hand. Wade also looked at it carefully, flipping it back and forth. He finally looked at everyone helplessly as he nodded and whispered, “It
That imposing voice resounded throughout the entire branch family’s memorial hall. Everyone focused their eyes in the direction of the main entrance.A tall and imposing figure that was full of majesty had appeared at the main entrance with the setting sun behind him. This person had a resolute and serious-looking angular face, searing eyes, thick eyebrows, stern eyes, a high nose, and thick lips, as well as an invincible aura that of a raging wolf. His eyebrows, cold like they were carved from a blade, were deeply etched on his face. When everyone saw this figure, they stopped clamoring and lowered their noble heads. Even the high and mighty Wade and the others silently stood to the side. They bowed slightly when they saw this figure. At the same time, there was a look of excitement and relief on their faces and they finally released a long breath. This matter could be considered resolved to their satisfaction. It would be the end of Philip today! When Philip heard
