Hansel laughed and said, “Master Stone, what are you afraid of? You’re one of the district masters of District 12, after all.” Tucker also laughed and said, “Master Clarke, even so, this is your Clarke family’s internal affairs. If an outsider like me intervenes and the main Clarke family takes offense, the result won’t end well for me.” Hansel fell silent. His eyes tensed as he asked, “Master Stone, are you sure you won’t help?” Tucker smiled and said, “Master Clarke, it's not that I don't want to help but this is… You should understand that I need to take care of my men. Helping the branch family at this time will pose a great risk for us. If there aren’t enough benefits for my men to risk their lives, I’m afraid I’m powerless to order them around.” At this point, Hansel naturally understood the meaning of Tucker’s words. He thought about it and said, “Master Stone, as long as you help the branch family tomorrow, not only will District 12 be yours but I’ll also give you ano
Philip gently pulled Wynn into his arms and said seriously, “Wynnie, don’t worry. I’m here. I’ll never let anyone do anything to hurt you, Mila, or Nelson.” Wynn hugged Philip’s sturdy back from behind, raised her head with a happy smile, and said, “Yeah, I believe you.” On the side, Mila sat on the sofa with her legs stretched out and snickered softly as she said, “Tee-hee, Dad and Mom are hugging. I want Dad to hug me too.” Philip let go of Wynn, turned around, and picked up Mila from the sofa with outstretched hands. He scratched her little nose and said, “You little imp.” Half an hour later, Philip walked out with Wynn and Mila, while the servants pushed Nelson’s incubator. Under the escort of the heavily armed Shadow Guards, they left the residence and headed for that white castle in the center of the entire Arcadia Island. Where that white castle was located, there was a huge and magnificent memorial hall shared by the main and branch Clarke families. Any major event
As soon as Wade spoke these words, the entire small square became quiet. All members of the branch family looked at the members of the main family with hostile eyes. Hansel added, “Wade, I think Philip simply doesn’t take the Clarke family seriously, let alone the ancestors! For a guy like that, he made the right decision to leave the Clarke family seven years ago! By coming back now, he's a disgrace to us! He even brought home some cheap trash from outside, which is even more shameful!” As Hansel said this, the members of the branch family started making comments filled with ridicule and sarcasm once more. “That’s right! Philip is not worthy to appear at the ancestor commemoration ceremony! In my opinion, a wrongdoer like him should be kicked out of the family!” “I heard that he broke Young Master Levi’s legs yesterday. Such a brutal man should be imprisoned in the dungeon and subjected to the Clarke family’s 108 tortures!” “What? He broke Young Master Levi’s legs? Damn it!
Many juniors from the branch family started to kick up a fuss again. More unpleasant words could be heard once more. Several juniors among them cursed Wynn and Mila the most fiercely, “Hmph, an outcast of the Clarke family brought home a sl*t and two wild dogs!” “If it were me, I’d have thrown myself into the sea long ago! What a disgrace to our Clarke family!” “I heard that Wynn Johnston’s background is quite complicated. She seems to be a descendant of the sinned blood?” A descendant of the sinned blood? For a while, people from the branch and main families who did not know Wynn’s background showed puzzled and grave expressions. Of course, this was arranged by Wade in advance as he bided his time and released a small signal first. “What is a descendant of the sinned blood?” someone started asking. A person stood in the branch family said with a sneer, “Being a descendant of the sinned blood is something atrocious. Let's put it this way, Wynn Johnston is the Clarke fam
The two slaps from Philip were very imposing, and the old man was stunned for a long time without reacting. Upon seeing Philip’s tall and upright figure, especially the faint coldness flowing from his body, many members of the branch family shrank back and dared not say anything for a while. As for the old man who was slapped twice, his eyes were red at this moment. His cheeks quickly grew swollen and were burning hot with pain! With round eyes, he glared at Philip, raised his hand, and scolded, “You arrogant brat, how dare you act so boldly in the ancestral memorial hall? I’m the old master of the branch family, your elder! You have no respect for the Clarke family rules at all! Men, come here and take this arrogant brat down! I’ll bring him in front of the ancestors’ memorial plaques and make him kneel and apologize to me!” Thud! In an instant, four of the branch family’s guards from the surrounding area came over with guns. Philip stood in place, his icy gaze sweeping ov
Suddenly, a sharp and angry shout resounded like tolling bells. “Presumptuous! Does the branch family have any respect for me, Tim Clarke, at all? How dare you point guns at my nephew here? Do you want to die?” Tim stood with his hands behind his back at the front of the family. Without turning around, his eyes were gazing straight ahead at the flower stands and flower wreaths in front. As soon as he finished speaking, the people of the main family behind him made a path for him. Then, Tim turned around while dressed in a black suit. He had his hands behind his back and walked steadily toward Wade and the others with chills all over his body. He swept his gaze over the guards of the branch family who raised their guns and said, “Put your guns down or be killed!” Seeing Tim’s appearance, the guards of the branch family looked at each other but still waited for Wade’s order. Wade chuckled, turned to Tim, and said, “Tim, they’re the guards of our branch family. Now that I'm
Tim snorted and said, “Why, is the branch family so impatient in drawing a clear line with the main family?” Wade stood up straight at this moment and gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of anger as he glared at Tim. He said, “Tim, stop playing word games. Attacking me is the same as disrespecting the branch family! In that case, why should I care about the main family? The branch family’s guards, listen to my command!” Following Wade’s roar, the dozens of guards from the branch family in the surrounding area drew their guns and pulled the safety. Their muzzles were pointed at the main family in unison. When the branch family’s guards made a move, the guards of the main family also drew their guns and aimed their muzzles at the people of the branch family without Tim's order. The atmosphere on the scene was on the verge of breaking out! Like walking on a tightrope, the slightest mistake would cause a chain reaction. Tim smiled faintly and glanced at the confrontation. He turne
He was simply going too far. He did not hold any regard for the old masters of the branch family at all. “What were you looking at just now?” Philip asked with a chill in his eyes. Hansel was taken aback before saying angrily, “What has that got to do with you?” Smack! Unexpectedly, Philip simply raised his hand and slapped Hansel across the face. Many people were shocked at this scene. Philip slapped another person just like that? Hansel was also stunned. What the hell was going on here? He had just taken one look. Was it really necessary to slap him in front of so many people? He was furious! Hansel roared angrily, “Philip boy, what the hell are you doing? How dare you hit me? I'm the sixth old master of the branch family, your sixth granduncle!” Smack! Philip slapped him again, looked at Hansel coldly, and said, “So what? The way you just looked at my wife and children was full of hostility. I’m warning you, if you dare to look at them like that again, your
