Soon, Wilbur and Felix arrived at the Chris family quarters. A servant saw them coming and bowed politely. "Sirs, Elder Milton has informed me of your arrival and sent me to greet you. Please come with me."
Upon hearing those words, Wilbur and Felix exchanged glances. Wilbur then asked, "Isn't Elder Milton the head elder of the Chris family? He holds the most power out of everyone in the family. How exactly does he feel about us coming here?"
He knew that the members of the Chris family were sure to harbor some amount of resentment over Dorrah's death. However, Milton and the others might have been fearful of Babbit and the Reyne family's power and chose to surrender to them obediently.
Thus, it was important to find out how the Chris family felt about the situation at hand.
The servant glanced at Wilbur. "We shouldn't talk here. Elder Milton is waiting with everyone else inside. Please come with me."
Felix glanced at Wilbur, who followed after the servant.
Elder Milton and the rest of the Chris family were already waiting in the courtyard, and Elder Milton hurried over at the sight of the two men. "Mister Penn and Mister Horne! You're finally here."
Wilbur took a deep breath. "Elder Milton, I hope you'll be kind to us now that we're here. I'm sure you know that Master Babbit sent us to assume control over the Chris family."
"How dare you!"
