Instantly, Desmond pointed at Philip and snarled. “Bullsh*t! How dare a brat like you talk nonsense without blinking at a time like this? How could Gerry have done such a thing? You’re simply full of crap!”
With that said, Desmond looked at Christian and was about to kneel as he shouted, “Chieftain, let me kneel before you. You must seek justice for my great-grandson. This brat must be killed!”
Seeing this, Christian reached out and grabbed Desmond while saying, “Granduncle Desmond, you mustn’t.”
Desmond was just playacting and went along with it as he stood up. Covering his face, he started to sob, “Chieftain, you must stand up for me.”
Christian nodded and replied, “Granduncle Desmond, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.”
After saying that, Christian looked at Philip and scolded, “You dare to be so rampant on the first day you returned? Do you not put my branch family in your eyes, or do you not put me, your fourth uncle, in your eyes?”
Philip frowned and asked coldly, “What do you want to do?”
Christian looked at the branch family’s memorial hall and said after a brief silence, “Bring out the family discipline.”
Instantly, all the elders and people in charge of the branch family were full of gloating smiles when they heard Christian’s order.
The family discipline. This time, Philip was doomed for sure!
Everyone gave way as Christian walked into the memorial hall. After paying his respects, Christian took down a purple-red cane from the high platform. This cane was engraved with the Clarke family rules and names of the ancestors.
There were two of such canes-one for the main family and one for the branch family. It was the cane used by the Clarke family to enforce family discipline.
This cane could be used on mindless kings and treacherous officials!
Even if Roger violated the Clarke family rules, they could use the family discipline to pursue accountability. It could be said that once the family discipline was invoked, the matter had come to an end.
In the crowd, Lex Clarke stood on one side, not saying a word since the beginning. With cold light in his eyes, he kept staring at Philip from outside the door.
“It seems that there’s nothing more than that,” Lex mumbled under his breath.
