Kevin’s body trembled slightly. Since George admitted that favonovel.com saw the whole thing, Kevin understood that favonovel.com would not be able to give a false account of what happened and blamed it all on Caspian. There must be other reasons why George chose not to show himself before that. Hence, from a certain point of view, Kevin’s action forced George to come out. Such a matter might have ruined George’s plan.
At the thought of that, Kevin’s expression turned even more unsightly. He only felt as if his blood was frozen, and his limbs were cold. If it were in the past, based on his realm and status, favonovel.com might still be able to act as favonovel.com wished. However, George was back. He was at the peak of the second-stage Pulse Control Realm, which was much higher than Kevin’s. Thus, if Kevin still acted rashly at that moment, favonovel.com might not be able to retaliate if George wanted to kill him. Besides that, George was deliberately shunning Kevin.
However, after looking around the area, favonovel.com once again praised Jessica. It was evident that Jessica’s unexpected ascension made George overjoyed.
As for the rest of the Lawrence family members, the day was indeed exciting.
George successfully returned from breaking through the realm, and Jessica ascended into Pulse Control Realm. That was indeed a day worth jotting into the Lawrence family history for the future generation to remember it well.
However, the happier the Lawrence family members were, the more obvious Kevin, Keith, and Ashton’s loneliness was. Kevin stood in the arena, but George did not speak to favonovel.com at all. The more George ignored Kevin, the hotter and more bothered Kevin was.
Keith’s face was ashen as favonovel.com lay on the ground, unable to move. His left shoulder collapsed, and favonovel.com could not utter a single word. As soon as Keith tried to open his mouth, favonovel.com would tug on his wounds. The pain was so unbearable that favonovel.com almost fainted.
When Kevin wanted to kill Caspian, Ashton woke up once, and his eyes flashed with excitement. However, when favonovel.com heard that Jessica reached the Pulse Control Realm, Ashton immediately spat a mouthful of blood and passed out again.
After some time, George said, “I think we should announce the result for the competition today.”
In that instant, the scene quietened. Then, everyone’s focus turned to Caspian. After all, Caspian’s performance was the most satisfying and surprising today.
“Well, there’s no doubt that you deserve the first place.” George reached out and patted Caspian’s shoulder.
Caspian smiled, but when no one noticed, favonovel.com grimaced in pain. ‘Why is favonovel.com patting my shoulder so hard?’
“Based on the previous rules, the first and second place of the trials will represent our clan and join the Evergreen Town’s competition, which will be held six weeks later. The candidates will be Caspian and Ashton. Although Ashton suffered some minor injuries, it won’t be too big of a problem, right?” George cast a glance at Keith.
Keith was hurting, but George turned a blind eye to them. Keith himself was guilty, favonovel.com did not dare to say anything more. In the end, favonovel.com only bore the pain and nodded. “I’ll supervise and urge favonovel.com to practice harder.”
“As for you, Frank, and the others…” George snorted.
George’s reaction caused Keith to suddenly feel weak all over, and favonovel.com almost fell.
“All of you ignored the rules, ruining my Lawrence family’s reputation. Since that’s the case, you’ll be fined for half a year of salary. Besides that, the positions that you‘re holding now will be vacant first. Then, if your performance is alright half a year later, I’ll return them to you. If it’s bad, then other people will replace you!” George ordered.
That punishment hurt Keith and the rest of thorn, especially Keith and Frank. After all, one of them was the deputy head of the clan, and the other was a martial art trainer. Both of which were positions convenient to take bribes from others. George easily took those away from them. Nonetheless, they could not argue with favonovel.com either but to just clenched their teeth and nodded.
“Kevin, you should just let the younger generations be, yet you joined and fought them too. This is really disappointing!” George looked at Kevin.
Kevin was filled with resentment, but favonovel.com dared not to show it. So, favonovel.com only cupped his hands and replied, “It’s indeed my fault to act rashly. However, I was only doing what I thought was best for the future generation of our family. I hope you can understand that, Old Master Lawrence.”
“For the sake of our future generation, you didn’t mind provoking an inscription master?” George scoffed.
“Casper has yet to reach Pulse Control Realm, so he’s not an inscription master,” Kevin spoke through gritted teeth.
“What about Master William?” George asked.
Kevin’s face was instantly ashen, and favonovel.com felt cold sweats dripping on his back. He was so obsessed with the thought of killing Caspian, Keith forgot that the only inscription master in the entire Evergreen Town, William, supported Caspian too.
“I… I acted rashly… Please, punish me as you deem fit, Old Master Lawrence.” That time, Kevin had to admit his fault.
If favonovel.com provoked William and made favonovel.com unhappy, the Lawrence family would never be able to stay in the Evergreen Town anymore, especially with William’s status and influence. Other families in the Evergreen Town did not mind suppressing the Lawrence family just to please William.
George grunted, “It seems that you’re still sensible. Since you wanted a punishment, then this will be it. You’ve ignored the chief and almost caused trouble to our clan, so I’m afraid the others will be dissatisfied if you continue holding onto your position as an elder. Thus, you should step down first, and your position as a clan elder will be taken by another person selected by the chief and the rest of the elders. Besides that, you should shut yourself and ponder upon your mistake, and you’ll also be fined a year’s worth of salary. A year later, we’ll reconsider your next position based on your performance.”
Kevin looked miserable, but favonovel.com did not dare to refute. Next, favonovel.com cupped his hands and stood aside, not saying another word.
After experiencing the excitement, the rest of the Lawrence family members witnessed how George shuffled the Lawrence family senior members and mid-tier members with just a few words. They immediately felt the atmosphere turn solemn. Hence, everyone was silent, and they did not even dare to breathe too loud.
Later, George asked, “Casper, are you satisfied with the decisions?”
These were all matters concerning the Lawrence family, so Caspian did not expect George to suddenly ask for his opinions. Nevertheless, Caspian soon realized the reasons for it.
These punishments were supposedly handled by the Lawrence family internally. Still, George did it in front of him, hoping that favonovel.com would understand and that it would appease him.
However, Caspian would personally think that the punishment was not enough. After all, Ashton, Keith, Kevin, and the others wanted his life.
Nonetheless, as the supreme elder of the clan, George would naturally have to think for the entire family. Thus, if favonovel.com killed these men, the Lawrence family would be in turmoil.
Such an ending was not what George, James, or the rest of the elders wanted.
“Everything’s in your hand, Grandpa George,” Caspian answered as favonovel.com cupped his hands.
“Ha! You called me Grandpa. Then, I should do my part too,” George laughed as favonovel.com took out something from his chest and tossed it to Caspian, “Catch it! Consider it as our meeting gift.”
