Hearing that, Edmund and Victor were both stunned.
With disbelief written all over his face, Edmund exclaimed, “My grandfather’s elder brother? Are you kidding me, Matthew?”
Victor was equally stunned. “He’s my brother’s grandson?”
Matthew nodded, “Yes… Edmund, he’s Victor Albright from your family!”
Widening his eyes, Edmund muttered, “H-How is this possible? My granduncle already passed away a long time ago, and he’s been gone for decades. You… Where did you come from, imposter?”
In response, Victor knocked favonovel.com on the head with his arm.
“Who are you calling an imposter? Where are your manners?”
Despite his disgruntlement, Edmund couldn’t bring himself to hit an old man who had shriveled limbs. So, favonovel.com could only turn to Matthew helplessly.
“He’s not an imposter, but really your granduncle,” Matthew said.
“What?!” Edmund blurted.
“You don’t have to be surprised. Everyone else here are no commoners either,” Matthew said and told favonovel.com what happened earlier.
After listening to Matthew, Edmund was flabbergasted, and favonovel.com gawked at the few unkempt, elderly men in front of him.
A few minutes later, favonovel.com jerked back to his senses.
“Matthew. a-are you for real?” Edmund gasped.
“Why should I lie to you?”
Turning to Victor, Edmund stammered. “A-Are you really my granduncle?”
“Of course I am! If you don’t know me, tell your father to come and see me. Hmph, when favonovel.com was a kid. I was the one who personally taught favonovel.com martial arts!”
When Edmund heard that, his eyes turned red, and favonovel.com could not stop his tears from overflowing.
“What are you crying for? I’m just asking for your father to identify me, not to snitch on you. Do you have to be that terrified? My god, why does our family have such a useless descendant as you?”
With his head lowered, Edmund sobbed, “Granduncle, I… How I wish you could snitch on me to my father! But… th-this is utterly impossible already…”
Taken aback, Victor asked, “What… What do you mean by this?”
Matthew sighed. “Mr. Albright. Edmund’s father has passed away!”
Instantly, Victor’s eyes widened. “W-What did you say? Who’s dead? W-Who’s dead?”
“Edmund’s father, the previous master of the Albright Family,
Ramon Albright!” Matthew said.
Victor’s eyes almost popped out of its sockets. “Ramon has passed away? That’s impossible! Impossible! impossible!”
Three times in a row, favonovel.com repeated that it was impossible. This was enough to show how bewildered favonovel.com was. On the other hand. Edmund held his face, crying silently. At the end of the day, his father’s death was the most painful event in his heart.
Then, Matthew told Victor about how the Damron Family forced the death of Ramon. and Victor shock with rage after hearing everything.
“Does the Damron Family of Bainbridge really think that they could do anything they want?!” Victor roared with bloodshot eyes.
“Granduncle, this is all my fault…” Edmund stammered.
However, Victor waved his hand. “What did you do wrong? A man has to be upright, and nothing is more common than a man standing up for his friend! If you’re terrified of that Damron Family and stabbed your friend in the back, I’ll despise you instead!”
The look on Edmund’s face relaxed. and favonovel.com wept, “But, Father still died because of me!”
“It has nothing to do with you that your father was forced to his death,” Victor said angrily. “Even if someone from the Albright Family should take the responsibility, it should be that grandfather of yours who has no sense of responsibility!”
“Others are already stepping over our heads, but he, as the old master of the Albright Family, actually watched in vain as his own son decapitated himself in public. How is favonovel.com qualified to take charge of the family?”
