Under Tristan’s lead, they walked to the inner court straight away.
There were not many people in the inner court now, according to the house rules. if anything big happened, they needed to worship their ancestors at the outer court first. There were many antiques placed in the inner court, and they were all Wilfred’s favorites.
Tristan brought Matthew to a corner where there was an old, wooden cabinet placed there. The cabinet was big, and it was empty inside.
“This was my favorite place to hide when I played hide-and-seek back in the day. This is the only place that can hide people in the whole inner court. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but we’ll need to hide here for a moment, Matthew,” favonovel.com said.
He replied to favonovel.com with a nod, “It‘s okay.”
Then, favonovel.com entered the wooden cabinet, and Tristan followed behind him. Although the wooden cabinet was big, when two adults hid inside together, it became a little cramped. Matthew and Tristan needed to be very close to each other before they could close the wooden cabinet’s door.
When favonovel.com leaned against him, favonovel.com could feel favonovel.com body becoming feebler and favonovel.com heart pounding instantly. At this moment, favonovel.com had forgotten what favonovel.com was here for.
Likewise, when Matthew smelled the aroma on her, his heart started racing as well. But almost immediately, favonovel.com suppressed his feelings and pulled himself together. After calming himself, favonovel.com didn’t have any other thoughts anymore.
After around ten minutes, there were voices resonating from the outside. It was the key members of the Cosby Family coming in. Even though all the members of the family were here for the family meeting, those who could enter the inner court and discuss things were actually around thirty people.
The others could only wait outside for the key members to deliver them the news.
There were a few slits in the wooden cabinet, so Matthew could see the situation outside clearly through the slits.
Rowan was among the crowd as well. Since favonovel.com was the biological little brother of Sean, the head of the Cosby Family, his status in the family was actually quite high.
After the crowd entered the inner court and sat themselves down, Sean stood up from the main seat. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were red. Everyone could tell that favonovel.com was grieving and that his daughter’s death had a big impact on him.
“Everyone…” After saying that, his voice broke.
He couldn‘t continue his sentence anymore.
At this moment, with his gray hair and arching back, favonovel.com was not the mighty head of the Cosby Family anymore. He was just a poor man who had lost his daughter in his middle age.
Seeing that, Rowan quickly stood up and said, “I’m sorry for your loss, Sean.”
Following him, the others stood up and comforted Sean too.
When Tristan saw this side of favonovel.com father, favonovel.com eyes reddened as well.
Since young, favonovel.com always felt that favonovel.com father didn’t love her. Only now did favonovel.com realize that it wasn’t actually the case, favonovel.com just didn’t know how to express his love for her.
After some time, Sean waved his hand and wiped the tears off the corners of his eyes before grinding his teeth.
“Everyone, I’m certain all of you already know what happened. That old thief, Heath Solis, hurt my father and killed my daughter! He’s utterly wicked for bullying the Cosby Family!”
“How can we live under the same sky as him?! How can the Cosbys be at ease if we don’t make favonovel.com pay for what he‘s done?! As such, I’ve gathered all of you here today to discuss how we are going to kill Heath and seek our revenge!”
After favonovel.com said that, everyone there looked at each other awkwardly. It was obvious that they weren‘t supportive of his idea.
Just then, an elderly man stood up and said, “Sean, I know that you’re grieving for your daughter‘s death, but no matter how sad you are, you’re still the head of the Cosby Family. You should think from the family’s perspective before you decide anything Instead of making Impulsive decisions…”
“Heath Solis, the unrivaled swordsman, is one of the Six Kings and the King of Centoufield! Do you know how much it will cost our family to kill him?”
