The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out. Horace’s Leopard Cavalier and Wade’s Tiger Guards had already gotten into formation by now.
They were just waiting for their master’s command!
However, at this moment, Philip walked over leisurely and said to Horace, “Uncle Horace, forget it. I’ll go with them to the branch family.”
Hiss!
As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent.
Horace looked at Philip in disbelief and said, “Philip, what are you saying? You want to go to the branch family with them? You can’t do that! Don’t worry. With me around, there won’t be a problem here! Wade won’t dare to do anything to you! If he does, I’ll be the first to go after him! And I won’t spare the branch family either!”
On the other side, Wade and Desmond were also very surprised. They exchanged a glance and wondered what Philip was up to. Why did he agree to their request so suddenly?
What was he trying to do by putting on that murderous and death defying look just now?
Wade could not figure it out, and his mind raced in contemplation. In the end, he could only attribute it to Philip being too young, so he dared not do anything to the branch family. Especially since Wade was the person in charge of the branch family’ s guards. If a fight happened, it would be a war between the branch and main families.
A boy like Philip could not bear such a responsibility alone.
Thus, thinking of this, Wade sneered disdainfully. “Haha, Philip, I was still wondering about how strong and courageous you are, but it turns out that everything is just a false pretense! Now that you know you can’t beat me, are you going to admit your mistake?”
Desmond also figured it out and shared the same thoughts as Wade. He sneered, “Good for you, Philip! As long as you obediently go back to the memorial hall with me today, kneel down and confess your guilt to my great-grandson, and go with me to the law enforcement hall to receive your punishment, I won’t pursue the matter of your past mistakes!”
Facing the big picture, Desmond still had a choice. He was heartbroken to use his great-grandson’s life in exchange for punishing Philip. However, things had progressed this far. He could only accept it.
