Chapter 2235
The First Heir
50 percent chance of success was Morrowâs biggest estimation. Even if the 10,000 guards from the
branch family were not strong enough, they were enough to flood the entire Clarke Manor.
Morrow had planned this long ago. Without Rogerâs mobilization, the Dragon Knights would never be
deployed. It would be difficult to win just relying on the Black Gold Rose alone.
Roger looked at Morrow coldly exhaled lightly, and said, âMorrow, Iâll give your branch family one last
chance to stop.â
Hearing that, Morrow chuckled and said, âPatriarch, I donât know what it means to stop. Iâm only
thinking for the sake of the Clarke family. Philip doesnât deserve to be the heir of the Clarke family,
while Wynn and the kids are offspring of the sinned blood. If this spreads out, the Clarke family will
become the enemy of the whole world. Weâll be doomed! To prevent this from happening, I hope you
can destroy the enemy by the roots!â
âWell said! Are you asking me to kill my granddaughter and grandson with my hands and cut off the
lineage of the main family?â
Roger said coldly with a stern look in his eyes.
Morrow glanced at Wynn and Mila on the side, saying, âPatriarch, such sinned blood is not worthy to be
the lineage of the Clarke family at all. Back then, the Lovelace family affair was decided by various
forces. Now, you want to protect this bloodline on your own, but Iâm afraid that youâll offend other
forces. If that happens, the Clarke family will surely face a catastrophe. when the time comes, how
many lives should the Clarke family pay for them before things can be pacified?â
This line of questioning resounded throughout the small square.
The Clarke family members did not know the severity of the Lovelace family incident and had only
heard of the sinned blood. The sinned blood must never appear in the world alive. This was the
consensus of all parties.
If Roger protected Wynn and the two children, it would mean he was staying on the opposite side of all
parties.
Roger struck the floor tiles heavily with the walking cane in his hand and shouted solemnly in tandem
with the thunder and rain, âThe matter of the Lovelace family has long since passed. The events back
then were secretly tampered with, and the family that was destroyed was the conservative faction of
the Lovelace family. You and I both know this. Why are you condemning them to death now? Is your
purpose them, the main family, or is it the door?!â
Morrow was startled at these words. He said, âEverything is for the Clarke family. I request that you
punish the sinned blood.â
âAudacious!â
Roger shouted angrily, âMorrow, on account that youâre my uncle, Iâll give you one last chance. Tell your
people to withdraw and never mention the sinned blood again. Otherwise, donât blame me for being
merciless!â
With that said, dozens of Black Gold Rose guards rushed out from the ancestral hall. Some had been
lying in ambush on the roof, dressed in black robe armors. Some rushed in from among the branch
familyâs guards, shedding the combat uniform of the branch familyâs guards in the process. Instantly,
sparks from colliding weapons flickered, and all the branch familyâs guards who rushed into the
ancestral hall died under the sparks.
The rain mixed with blood dyed the entire ancestral hall red. Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Morrow watched as the branch familyâs guards fell under the weapon sparks and into pools of blood.
His eyes flashed fiercely as he turned his head, gritted his teeth, and said to Roger, âHave your people
infiltrated my 10,000 guards long ago?â
Roger said indifferently, âThe branch family is still the branch family, after all. Your duty is to protect the
main family, not plot treason!â
After saying that, Roger said grimly to the branch family members kneeling on the floor, âIf you get up
and leave right now, I wonât pursue this matter today. If you refuse to change your mind, a few more
peopleâs memorial plaques will appear in the ancestral hall after today.â
As he said thatâ¦
Clang!
Numerous cold blades flickered in the rain, pierced through the raindrops, and landed on the necks of
the branch family members. Within two or three minutes, Black Gold Rose had taken down the entire
ancestral hall.
