Chapter 912
“Didn’t you tell them that you’re the Pearsons’ scion? How did they react when they found out?” Ambrose had a feeling that things were not as simple as Arnie made them out to be, and he could not help but question Arnie again.
Arnie said, “I did, of course! He said he’ll let me off the hook this time, but he’ll kill me if he ever sees me again.”
“Sir, there must be more to that person than meets the eye if he could threaten your son even after being told that about their family background!” The grand-elder immediately said to Ambrose. “Offending a level seven warrior king makes for a very troublesome situation. We have no idea if he has any good friends or relatives that might have the attainment of a level eight warrior king!”
Arnie lashed out angrily all of a sudden, “What are you trying to insinuate, Grand-Elder? Am I supposed to just suck it up after being bullied? A slap to my face is a slap to the Pearsons. Besides, he only said that. because he doesn’t know about the level eight warrior king in our family. I bet he wouldn’t even dare to make a peep if you go there.”
At that moment, the second elder-who had remained silent throughout the entire time-finally offered his opinion. “Sir, I believe it’s unwise for us to be impulsive on this because a lot of outsiders are entering Skystream City recently. What if the person that Mister Arnie spoke of turns out to be from some county governor? Or even an incredibly strong individual from another province? They’re probably here to attend the province governor’s birthday. It’s also likely that the war chiefs or the war gods would be in attendance too.”
“Gasp!” Ambrose took a breath, slapped his thigh, and said, “I would’ve forgotten that the province. governor’s birthday will be held in two days if you didn’t remind me! Skystream City will be host to many powerful people from all around the nation, and we ought to keep a lower profile these couple of days. If we’re not careful, we might end up provoking someone whom we can’t afford to piss off, and our family will be done for if that happens.”
“So am I supposed to just suck it up, Dad?” After hearing what Ambrose said, Arnie could not accept that his hopes for revenge had all but disappeared.
Ambrose nodded. “Have I not made myself clear enough? Drop the issue, Arnie. If he isn’t afraid to threaten you after knowing that we’re a second-tier family, then it just goes to show that he has no to fear. This matter ends here.”
After saying that, Ambrose added, “I want you to inform the youths in our family to come back here for a meeting. They must be notified to keep a low profile and avoid stirring up trouble in the coming week, or else we’ll all be in big trouble if they offend unintentionally offend other province governors or war chiefs.”
“Okay…” Arnie could not help but lament his misfortune, for he seemed to have no other choice but to just keep quiet and endure the humiliation he suffered.
