Seeing that Bob didn’t understand, Kairi quickly gave up reasoning with favonovel.com and scolded favonovel.com instead, “How do you come up with such nonsense? Go convey Dad’s message to the others. If I hear you speak such nonsense again, I will kick you!” With that, favonovel.com made a motion as though to kick him.
Bob originally wanted to continue the debate with his sister. But when favonovel.com heard this, favonovel.com immediately gave up and quickly responded obediently, “Shall I go now?”
With that, favonovel.com ran back in frustration.
At this moment, the 40 to 50 people from the Elms family who were willing to follow Mido to Southaven had begun to load their luggage.
Among them, Wilfred’s second brother, that is, Mido’s second uncle and family, Mido’s own brother William’s family, as well as Mido’s cousin and Wilfred’s cousin’s family.
When Bob ran back, favonovel.com did not stop these people from loading their things into the busses, and instead ran into the house and informed the remaining people, “Everybody, my father has instructed us to wait in the main hall. He is currently completing the worship ceremony for his ancestors, but will then return to the main hall to make some major announcements.”
Someone asked, “Bob, what are these major announcements?”
Bob shook his head and replied, “I don’t know exactly what it is. Let’s wait together!”
At 10:00 a.m., the Banks family’s convoy left on time, carrying Mido and more than 40 other Elms family members south. On the way, these Elms family members were very excited because Adrian Peters had told them that Lord Banks, the master of the Banks family, was willing to give them a reward of one billion dollars a year.
In reality, Adrian Peters found making this promise very painful. The true power behind the Elms family had not accepted the invitation and, instead, Adrian had hired a bunch of little guys and spent half of the budget. Ultimately, favonovel.com saw this as a loss.
However, favonovel.com did not dare to joke about safety at this time. Even if favonovel.com had only half of the people from the Elms family, favonovel.com still had to bring protection for Lord Banks.
In any event, the money would only be given for one year at most. When the troubles and crises are solved, there will be no such exorbitant price next year. Maybe after finding a better option for protection, they would sweep this group right out the door.
Not long after the convoy left the Elms family compound, Wilfred finished his worship of the ancestors of the Elms family and returned to the Elms family mansion. The remaining 70 or 80 members of the Elms family were waiting anxiously for favonovel.com in the main hall. Everyone sat whispering in groups of three or five, discussing the family members who just left, and speculating on what important things the old man had to announce later.
These people chose to stay, in part because they held Wilfred in such high regard and were extremely loyal to him, and in part because they were dedicated to practicing martial arts and improving their skills. They cared more about reaching the pinnacle as martial artists than they cared about money. At this time, they were all waiting for Wilfred’s arrival, waiting for Wilfred to solve the mystery for them.
At a quarter past ten, Wilfred, accompanied by Kairi, stepped into the main hall. Seeing the remaining 70 or 80 people, Wilfred’s majestic expression also showed a little relief.
When everyone saw him, they were a little stunned. These people’s cultivation was not as high as Wilfred’s and so they couldn’t see the exact level of his current cultivation. But even so, everyone could feel that Wilfred seemed to be younger and stronger than before.
Wilfred looked at the crowd and said lightly, “Some people just left, and everyone must have seen it.”
No one in the hall dared to say anything. They didn’t know whether the old man was happy, sad or angry.
Wilfred smiled calmly and said, “As a family dedicated to moving forward, the Elms family is like a revolutionary team. On this team, people are allowed to fall behind and retire, but not to drag the rest of the team down. Therefore, the departure of these people is absolutely a good thing for the rest of us.”
He continued in a serious tone, “Now, I officially declare that the Elms family has officially disowned each of those who left the Elms family today. From today forward, the Elms family will have nothing to do with any of them, and they will never be allowed to return to Elms family in the future. Remember that, even if I die, my successor will also enforce this rule!”
Each person in the room was stunned. Was this tantamount to a complete severing of their bond and loyalty? This included not only the old man’s own son, but also his own brother and his cousin. Could it be that the old man doesn’t regret it at all and doesn’t want to make up with these others at all?
Before everyone could recover from the shock, Wilfred cleared his throat and said, “Next, I want to announce something very important!”
Everyone thought that the decision to draw a line with those people just now was the important announcement the old man wished to make. Unexpectedly, there is also something else that really mattered. So everyone cheered up and waited for the answer to the mystery.
Wilfred said excitedly at this time, “Just this morning, I opened my fourth meridian!”
As soon as they heard this, everyone in the room fell silent in complete shock!
