Chapter 1218
“Rowan Craig.” Everett stared at him coldly and said, “I want to challenge you as a member of the Craig family.”
Right after he said that, all the bodyguards on the site. were shocked.
Even Rowan was in disbelief.
“What did you say? Are you challenging me as a Craig family member?” Rowan nearly chuckled. “Little brat, do you know what you’re talking about?”
Zayn’s expression instantly darkened. “Mr. Craig, please remain calm!”
Yet, Everett ignored him. Instead, he stared into Rowan’s eyes unrelentingly.
He said, “I’m very clear about my actions. So, are you brave enough to accept?”
His words ticked Rowan off. He had an intense look and even seemed to be thinking in depth.
Ninian looked at Harold helplessly.
What did this mean? She did not understand at all.
Did Everett just place a huge bet?
Harold’s expression was profound. He stared at Everett
and Rowan who were in a stalemate before he softly explained, “There’s a rule in the Craig family. When family members have arguments or conflicts that can’t be resolved, they can challenge the other party. The two individuals then fight a life–and–death duel. The winner will take everything from the loser, including his identity, power, status, and so on.
“Rowan was kicked out of the Craig family, and his name was also removed from the family tree. Wherever he goes, all the family members, including direct and indirect descendants, see him as a disgrace and a public enemy.
“Now, Everett is challenging him using the Craig family’s rule. This is to recognize his status as a member of the Craig family. He’s taking him back before participating in the life–and–death duel.
“This is the bet that Everett has designed for Rowan, but Everett is putting himself on the line.”
Harold explained it clearly.
Rowan was now in Everett’s hand, but Rowan was still manipulating everyone else’s lives.
Even if Everett spared him, he might still kill everyone and destroy everything after he left.
No matter how they dismissed the crowd, it would be hard to avoid injuries and death.
