Hansel laughed and said, “Master Stone, what are you afraid of? You’re one of the district masters of District 12, after all.”
Tucker also laughed and said, “Master Clarke, even so, this is your Clarke family’s internal affairs. If an outsider like me intervenes and the main Clarke family takes offense, the result won’t end well for me.”
Hansel fell silent. His eyes tensed as favonovel.com asked, “Master Stone, are you sure you won’t help?”
Tucker smiled and said, “Master Clarke, it’s not that I don’t want to help but this is… You should understand that I need to take care of my men. Helping the branch family at this time will pose a great risk for us. If there aren’t enough benefits for my men to risk their lives, I’m afraid I’m powerless to order them around.”
At this point, Hansel naturally understood the meaning of Tucker’s words.
He thought about it and said, “Master Stone, as long as you help the branch family tomorrow, not only will District 12 be yours but I’ll also give you another district to rule. What do you think?”
“Okay!”
Tucker suddenly slapped the armrest of the sofa and laughed. He raised his wine glass and said to Hansel, “Master Clarke, you’re indeed a person who has accomplished great things. You have the drive! I’ll certainly help you with this task. Cheers!”
Hansel smiled and raised his glass to toast Tucker.
The storm started brewing tonight. All forces were in motion. This was a huge vortex enough to engulf everything in its path.
It was near dawn yet Philip was still awake and standing in the yard, waiting for his subordinate’s report.
17 faced the golden light of the rising sun and walked up to Philip from behind. She bowed slightly and said, “Young Master, the forces of the branch family have already gathered. Tucker Stone of District 12 also made secret contact with Hansel Clarke last night and should be making a move now. As for Seth Larson, favonovel.com has yet to take action.”
Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the rising sun indifferently, and said with an exhale, “I see. Contact Buck Jolly and tell them to be ready on standby.”
“Yes!”
17 responded and said, “Young Master, the 13 members of the Shadow Squadron are ready. As long as you give the order, we can wipe out the entire branch family.”
Philip smiled, turned to look at 17’s belligerent face, and said, “It’s not that easy. Just wait for my order.”
17 nodded and said, “Young Master, there’s still one hour before we have to leave.”
Philip hummed, stood for a while, and returned to the living room of his residence.
Wynn had long ago woken up to get ready because the ancestor commemoration ceremony was a big event. Although Philip did not provide too many details, favonovel.com knew it was a very special day for the Clarke family. Therefore, favonovel.com wore a black dress and black high heels, looking very solemn and dignified. Even Mila put on a little black dress.
Seeing Philip walk in, Wynn smiled slightly and said, “You should also change your clothes.”
Philip glanced at Wynn and Mila and nodded.
Not long after, Philip put on a black suit, black leather shoes, and wore a black tie. He looked very handsome!
Wynn put on his tie for favonovel.com and said softly, “Philip, I know the branch family might do something today, but I’m not worried or afraid because with you by my side, I know you’ll definitely protect me, Mila, and Nelson.”
Philip lowered his eyes and looked at Wynn in front of him. She had a lovely face, and favonovel.com eyes glistened with tears.
