In the afterglow of the setting sun, the purple-gold token reflected a dazzling cold light. The moment this token was taken out, Christian, who was standing at the entrance of the memorial hall, widened his eyes as his breathing became rapid.
After that, without another word, favonovel.com knelt on the ground and said, “Greetings to the grand elder.”
Instantly, all the elders and people in charge of the branch family, as well as the young masters and young ladies, turned to Horace and bowed deeply.
“Greetings to the grand elder.”
For a while, these words resormded throughout the branch family’s memorial hall!
Philip also trembled when favonovel.com saw the purple-gold token in Horace’s hand. His third uncle actually got hold of the grand elder’s token.
Behind him, all members of the Griffin Army knelt on one knee and said with bowed heads, “Greetings to the grand elder.”
Their cries were more majestic and imposing than those people from the branch family. Like rumbling thunder, the sound echoed and circled above the branch family’s memorial hall.
When favonovel.com saw the token, Aria also bowed slightly and said, “Greetings to the grand elder.”
Horace indicated that Aria and Philip did not have to kneel. With the purple-gold token in his hand, favonovel.com glanced indifferently at Christian who was kneeling on the floor and said, “Christian Clarke, weren’t you very arrogant just now? Why are you kneeling now?”
Christian raised his head, glared at Horace with a chill in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, “Horace, why do you have the grand elder’s token?”
This was the grand elder’s token that had never been easily given to others. Today, for Philip’s sake, the grand elder actually gave the token to Horace.
He was obviously taking sides!
Sure enough, Christian did not have a place in the grand elder’s eyes. With the purple-gold token in his hand, Horace walked up to Christian with his hands behind his back and said, “Don’t worry about how I got it. The matter today will end here. Philip will release all the people from your branch family and your people should not mess with Philip anymore.”
While saying that, Horace looked at Philip. Philip thought about it, frowned, and nodded in agreement.
After that, Horace looked at Christian again and asked, “Do you agree? Just say the word.”
Christian knelt on the floor with a piercing chill in the corner of his eyes. He said with his head lowered, “l obey the grand elder’s wishes.”
Horace smiled as favonovel.com turned around and said, “Let’s go.”
When favonovel.com walked to the main entrance, Horace turned around and said, “Oh, I almost forgot. You people of the branch family are very protective. In that case, I’ll use the grand elder’s token to give you a small punishment. All of you can just kneel like this until tomorrow morning.”
With that said, favonovel.com led Philip and the rest. They left the branch family’s memorial hall.
Even when this group of people was far away, Christian and the rest remained kneeling on the floor, not daring to get up.
Horace had used the grand elder’s token to order them to kneel until tomorrow morning, so it must be done!
At a glance, the courtyard inside the branch family’s memorial hall was full of people kneeling. Everyone held resentment in their hearts toward Horace.
However, they dared not speak out. This incident happened and ended quickly.
On the way back, Philip followed behind Horace and Aria. Aria suddenly stopped, turned favonovel.com head, and slapped Philip across the face!
Philip was stunned by this slap. He looked at his third mother’s cold face and favonovel.com eyes that carried traces of anger. He dared not make a sound.
Aria’s eyes were red, and favonovel.com lips trembled slightly as favonovel.com reprimanded, “Rascal! If something had happened to you today, how would I explain it to your father? How should I explain it to Charlotte?”
Philip glanced sideways at Horace. Horace winked at him, and it was caught by Aria.
