Chapter 2024

Smack!

Philip continued to slap Desmond.

Following that, after a dozen slaps in a row, Desmond’s face was swollen. Half the teeth in his mouth

were also knocked out, and blood gushed from his nose and mouth.

Desmond staggered, feeling the world spinning around him. His ears were buzzing.

Philip flexed his hand and said, “You people from the branch family are always threatening me with the

family rules, but your actions have already violated the family rules! Today, I’ll stand here and tell you

that I’ll get rid of the branch family sooner or later! I’ll also replace the law enforcement hall!”

Clap, clap, clap!

Suddenly, sounds of applause came from a distance.

It was followed by a fierce and rough bellow. “Very well, the child of the main family is very bold,

indeed! How dare you spout such a brazen joke? It seems that I’ve arrived at the right time!”

With those words, Philip frowned and looked sideways at the other end.

It was a burly middle-aged man with a hooked nose in his 50s wearing a green combat uniform. Behind

him, three men in black armor and 300 warriors in black steel armor arrived at the square in front of the

golden palace.

Wade Clarke, he was the fifth old master of the branch family. Wilfred’s fifth brother.

The chieftain’s fifth uncle. He was also Levi’s fifth granduncle.

At this moment, he brought along three out of the 13 elite Tiger Generals of the branch family and 300

Tiger Guards with him.

They were all fully armed. Unlike ordinary guards, all of them wore black steel armor like a troop of

black tiger riders.

The 13 Tiger Generals were definitely ranked in the top three in terms of combat power in the branch

family. The combat power of the guards under their command was also not to be underestimated. They

were on par with the Griffin Army behind Philip.

With a face full of arrogance and coldness, Wade walked closer, bowed to Desmond, and said, “Third

Uncle, I’m sorry that I’m a little late.”

While saying that, he raised his eyebrows and his sullen eyes fell on Desmond’s face. Suddenly, his

face was full of shock and surprise. He asked, “Uncle Desmond, what happened to your face?”

With an expression full of anger and shame, Desmond glared at Philip viciously.

Wade immediately understood at a glance. He pointed at Philip and said angrily, “Philip boy, did you do

this?”

Philip raised his eyebrows, smiled indifferently, and said, “That’s right, I did it.”

“How dare you! He’s your elder, your great-granduncle! I order you to kneel and apologize to him at

once!” Wade roared with a biting chill in his eyes.

However, Philip smiled calmly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and glanced at the neatly

assembled guards of the 13 Tiger Generals on the other side.

Interesting.

Wade even brought them over. It seemed that today would be a tough battle.

“You want me to apologize?”

Philip chuckled and said, “Wade, your branch family is getting a little too arrogant. I haven’t even been

bothered to look for you yet, but you guys are showing up at my doorstep one after another. Do you

really think the main family is a pushover? Or do you think that I’m weak and defenseless because I’ve

just returned and can be killed easily?”

Wade laughed coldly and said, “So what if it is? You’re just a child who has just returned and you have

a weak foundation. Even if you are the eldest young master of the main family and the heir apparent,

so what? In my opinion, you’re just a kid who knows nothing. You have no means and strength!”

“Since I’m here today, let’s make it clear. You shall follow me to the memorial hall of the branch family,

kneel, and plead guilty. You’ll also take the initiative to step down from the heir apparent position. If you

do that, I can forget everything that happened today!” Wade said with a smile as his eyes grew dark

with malice.
