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
Philip Clarke was too cocky for words. He actually dared to let his guard cut Hansel’s hand tendon! At the same time, Philip walked up to Hansel and coldly looked down at the man who was squatting on the floor and wailing his guts out. Philip raised his foot and stomped on Hansel’s cast on his right arm! Bam! The cast shattered! Crack! Hansel’s right arm broke again. A blood-curdling scream resounded once more! “Ah! Philip boy, you’re going to die a miserable death! Mark my words!” Hansel fell to the ground in a state of frenzy. One hand was full of blood while the other was broken again. He lay on the ground, tossing and turning. Several of the branch family’s guards saw this and rushed over to take Hansel away. However, the elite guards of the main family behind Philip stopped them. All of them were either standing or crouching with their guns aimed at the guards of the branch family who wanted to rush over! The two parties were in a confrontation once more.
Thud, thud! Instantly, the main family’s guards on both sides stood with their guns raised and aimed at the people of the branch family. This action terrified the members of the branch family, and all of them fell silent. They looked in horror at the main family’s guards who stood with guns. That was because the killing intent pouring out of this group of people was too strong! Seeing this, Wade frowned and looked at Tim who had his back turned to him. After a long while, he said, “I just said that in a fit of anger, but Philip is too bold and arrogant. Aren’t you going to discipline him?” Tim was silent for a moment before he turned around, looked at Philip, and said, “Phil, that’s enough. This is a place for ancestral commemoration, after all. Peace and harmony should take precedence.” Philip nodded and withdrew his gaze. He turned around and walked to Wynn, who held Mila in her arms. He said with a smile, “It’s fine, I’m here.” Wynn nodded, but she was actually a littl
The solemn bell rang throughout Clarke Manor. All members of the Clarke family, who were either dressed in black suits or long black dresses, knelt on the ground and bowed in respect as they made their way to the memorial hall. At this moment, time slowed down infinitely. Looking down from a high altitude, rows of people could be seen standing up and kneeling down. This scene lasted for more than ten minutes before everyone arrived at the main entrance of the memorial hall. This place was full of gilt black tiles and yellow walls. It was very majestic. From a distance, it looked like a palace—very profound and solemn. Three rows of people stood at the entrance of the memorial hall at this moment. They were all the elders of the law enforcement hall. At the forefront, an old figure stood with his hands behind his back. It was the oldest living person of the Clarke family, the grand elder of the law enforcement hall! He stood there dressed in plain clothes, while th
The grand elder held a black cane, looked at Philip coldly, and said, “On your knees!” Philip knelt without any struggle or resistance. Smack! The grand elder raised the cane in his hand high in the air and slapped it across Philip’s shoulder with a black stream of light! Instantly, the clothes on Philip’s shoulder ripped apart from the impact! Philip also muffled a grunt. The ripped jacket on his shoulders revealed a white shirt but it was quickly dyed red with blood. Seeing this scene, Wynn was very distressed and anxious. She knelt in front of Philip with Mila in her arms and blocked the next strike from the grand elder. She exclaimed, “Grand Elder, it’s all my fault. It's all because of me that Philip did that. If you want to punish someone, hit me.” The grand elder’s eyes went cold at this scene as he shouted, “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?” With that said, the grand elder raised the cane in his hand and was about to strike. At this moment, Mila burst int
