Chapter 303 The Opposition

"Those below are all direct descendants of the Augustine family. Your ascension as heir was orchestrated by the higher power. I, along with every member of The Wise Order, endorse this decision, yet the truth remains unknown to others. Some may harbor reservations about you.

"In any case, I beseech you to endure."

Having concluded his words, Brian observed Osborne's faint smile.

Osborne replied, "As long as they do not provoke me, I shall not retaliate."

Brian was momentarily stunned but refrained from further comment.

The helicopter alighted upon a vast lawn. Following Brian, Osborne got off the helicopter.

He surveyed the assembled crowd with a composed demeanor.

At least two hundred pairs of eyes were fixed upon him, a significant portion of the three hundred direct descendants of the Augustine family. Save for the elderly and infants in cradles, it seemed all had gathered.

"I respect only the capable!"

"Let's wait and see."

Under the scrutiny of so many, Osborne remained unruffled. He was no longer the man he was a month prior; even this spectacle failed to unnerve him.

Hearing the murmurs, he wore a subtle smile.

"I hope none dare to challenge me."

Brian had been covertly observing Osborne, whose composure startled Brian greatly.
