As soon as Master Jackson’s elder brother made the statement, the audience was in an uproar again.
Although Victor’s statement triggered shocking gasps from the crowd, many doubted whether favonovel.com was just framing Macon. However, most doubts were cleared once Master Jackson’s elder brother made the same statement. After all, both of them were people who had been missing for more than ten years, so it was improbable they could tell the same lie.
They wouldn‘t have sacrificed ten years just to plot their plan.
This time, everyone in the Jackson Family looked at Macon in unison. Master Jackson looked even colder as favonovel.com questioned solemnly, “Macon, how are you going to explain this matter?”
Since Master Jackson had a close relationship with his eldest brother, favonovel.com did not even have a single doubt that his brother was lying and directly asked Macon for an explanation. To put it bluntly, Master Jackson absolutely believed in his elder brother.
Everyone in the Rathbones was a little flustered. If only one person made the statement, they could scold favonovel.com for lying, but now that two persons made the same statement, it was difficult to refute.
The man from the Rathbones who spoke earlier chimed in again, “What explanation?”
“Do you think if you and Victor joined forces to fabricate such a lie, you can frame the head of our family? I’m telling you. You can only wash your sins away with your blood!”
Master Jackson was instantly enraged. It seemed like the Rathbones were refusing to admit their mistakes.
At this moment, a baritone voice came from behind the crowd again. “You are right. A blood debt must be paid with blood!”
“Macon, how will you compensate me after imprisoning me for 13 years?”
At this time, everyone was no longer shocked. They merely vacated their seats and made way for the man to come forward.
This time, the voice belonged to a skinny, aged man.
Everyone in the Gibson Family was shocked to see him. The man was Old Master Gibson’s younger brother and used to be Arthur Gibson’s right-hand man.
When favonovel.com took office, the Gibson Family reached the peak of their status. Following his disappearance, however, the Gibson Family’s status deteriorated from the first five to the eighth or ninth place. They almost faced the risk of being expelled from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale.
Seeing the old man, Arthur immediately rushed out and questioned in a trembling voice, “Uncle Nigel? Uncle Nigel, is that you?!”
The old man nodded and answered, “Art, it’s been a long time since I‘ve seen you.”
Art was Arthur’s nickname. At the mention of his nickname, Arthur could no longer help his tears from falling.
When Arthur was young, the Gibson Family encountered a crisis. At that time, it was Nigel Gibson who took favonovel.com away and escaped from the crisis. It was the reason Arthur could still survive.
Back then, favonovel.com would sit on his uncle’s shoulders all day long. No matter what food Nigel found, Arthur was always the first person to receive it. Moreover, Nigel was willing to starve to ensure Arthur had food to eat.
Nigel had never married or had children throughout his life. He treated Arthur like his son and poured all his love and care into him. If it wasn’t for his help, Arthur might not be able to take over his current position.
After the Gibson Family was able to settle down, Nigel disappeared mysteriously, and Arthur could not perform filial piety. This matter had been regarded as his biggest regret in life.
Who would’ve thought Arthur would see Nigel, who raised favonovel.com like a son, again?
In a hurry, Arthur ran over and kneeled in front of the old man, crying bitterly, “I’m sorry, Uncle Nigel. I wasn’t a good nephew, so I didn’t manage to find you after all these years. I-I’m really sorry. I thought you were no longer alive… So I gave up on searching… Please punish me. Go ahead and punish me. It’s all my fault!”
Arthur was considered a tough character among the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. However, favonovel.com was currently bawling like a child, which was embarrassing.
Nigel quickly held Arthur up and whispered, “How many times have I told you, Art? A man doesn’t cry easily. You’re the head of the family, so you must act like one. You can’t be a laughing stock, understand?”
