50 percent chance of success was Morrow’s biggest estimation. Even if the 10,000 guards from the branch family were not strong enough, they were enough to flood the entire Clarke Manor.
Morrow had planned this long ago. Without Roger’s mobilization, the Dragon Knights would never be deployed. It would be difficult to win just relying on the Black Gold Rose alone.
Roger looked at Morrow coldly exhaled lightly, and said, “Morrow, I’ll give your branch family one last chance to stop.”
Hearing that, Morrow chuckled and said, “Patriarch, I don’t know what it means to stop. I’m only thinking for the sake of the Clarke family. Philip doesn’t deserve to be the heir of the Clarke family, while Wynn and the kids are offspring of the sinned blood. If this spreads out, the Clarke family will become the enemy of the whole world. We’ll be doomed! To prevent this from happening, I hope you can destroy the enemy by the roots!”
“Well said! Are you asking me to kill my granddaughter and grandson with my hands and cut off the lineage of the main family?”
Roger said coldly with a stern look in his eyes.
Morrow glanced at Wynn and Mila on the side, saying, “Patriarch, such sinned blood is not worthy to be the lineage of the Clarke family at all. Back then, the Lovelace family affair was decided by various forces. Now, you want to protect this bloodline on your own, but I’m afraid that you’ll offend other forces. If that happens, the Clarke family will surely face a catastrophe. when the time comes, how many lives should the Clarke family pay for them before things can be pacified?”
This line of questioning resounded throughout the small square.
The Clarke family members did not know the severity of the Lovelace family incident and had only heard of the sinned blood. The sinned blood must never appear in the world alive. This was the consensus of all parties.
If Roger protected Wynn and the two children, it would mean favonovel.com was staying on the opposite side of all parties.
Roger struck the floor tiles heavily with the walking cane in his hand and shouted solemnly in tandem with the thunder and rain, “The matter of the Lovelace family has long since passed. The events back then were secretly tampered with, and the family that was destroyed was the conservative faction of the Lovelace family. You and I both know this. Why are you condemning them to death now? Is your purpose them, the main family, or is it the door?!”
Morrow was startled at these words. He said, “Everything is for the Clarke family. I request that you punish the sinned blood.”
“Audacious!”
Roger shouted angrily, “Morrow, on account that you’re my uncle, I’ll give you one last chance. Tell your people to withdraw and never mention the sinned blood again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
With that said, dozens of Black Gold Rose guards rushed out from the ancestral hall. Some had been lying in ambush on the roof, dressed in black robe armors. Some rushed in from among the branch family’s guards, shedding the combat uniform of the branch family’s guards in the process. Instantly, sparks from colliding weapons flickered, and all the branch family’s guards who rushed into the ancestral hall died under the sparks.
The rain mixed with blood dyed the entire ancestral hall red. Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Morrow watched as the branch family’s guards fell under the weapon sparks and into pools of blood. His eyes flashed fiercely as favonovel.com turned his head, gritted his teeth, and said to Roger, “Have your people infiltrated my 10,000 guards long ago?”
Roger said indifferently, “The branch family is still the branch family, after all. Your duty is to protect the main family, not plot treason!”
After saying that, Roger said grimly to the branch family members kneeling on the floor, “If you get up and leave right now, I won’t pursue this matter today. If you refuse to change your mind, a few more people’s memorial plaques will appear in the ancestral hall after today.”
As favonovel.com said that…
Clang!
Numerous cold blades flickered in the rain, pierced through the raindrops, and landed on the necks of the branch family members. Within two or three minutes, Black Gold Rose had taken down the entire ancestral hall.
