Horace walked in with light steps, knelt beside the old man lying on the wicker chair, and said, “First Elder.”
The old man did not say a word and continued to rest with his eyes closed. At his side, the servant gently waved the fan.
Speaking of Horace Clarke, he had the same seniority as Roger and also belonged to the same generation. He was one of the few talented people of the main Clarke family.
He was also Roger’s younger half-brother. His status and identity in the main family were quite high. He was also highly regarded by Roger.
About ten minutes later, the old man on the wicker chair said with his eyes closed, “Little Horace, why are you here?”
Horace knelt on the ground and said, “First Elder, the third elder is bringing people to the main family.”
The old man hummed and said, “Let it be, it’s nothing. It’s time to make some noise. The Clarke family has been quiet for too long. It’s good to make a fuss to make things livelier.”
Horace was anxious and hurriedly said, “First Elder, Third Elder is bringing a lot of people with him this time. I’m afraid that the boy from the main family can‘t handle it.”
The old man laughed and said, “That little monkey just returned to the island and has already caused such a fuss. Since he dares to make trouble, he should know what to do. Why are you worried about him? Just sit back and watch. The third elder is simply too domineering at times. It’s not a bad thing if he can suffer in the hands of that little monkey this time.”
Hearing this, Horace was taken aback and asked, “First Elder, do you mean to say that Philip has a way to handle and solve this matter?”
The first elder turned over and said, “That brat is a monkey by nature. None of you are as shrewd as he is. Go back and don’t disturb me from sleeping and sunbathing.”
With that said, the first elder stopped talking.
Horace knelt for a few minutes before getting up and leaving the courtyard. As he retreated to the door, the old man on the wicker chair said leisurely, “Under the brick at the doorway, you can find my token. If things really get out of control, you may go over with the token.”
