Tim snorted and said, “Why, is the branch family so impatient in drawing a clear line with the main family?”
Wade stood up straight at this moment and gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of anger as he glared at Tim. He said, “Tim, stop playing word games. Attacking me is the same as disrespecting the branch family! In that case, why should I care about the main family? The branch family’s guards, listen to my command!”
Following Wade’s roar, the dozens of guards from the branch family in the surrounding area drew their guns and pulled the safety. Their muzzles were pointed at the main family in unison.
When the branch family’s guards made a move, the guards of the main family also drew their guns and aimed their muzzles at the people of the branch family without Tim‘s order.
The atmosphere on the scene was on the verge of breaking out. Like walking on a tightrope, the slightest mistake would cause a chain reaction.
Tim smiled faintly and glanced at the confrontation. He turned to look at Philip, who was walking over. He asked with a smile, “What do you think?”
Philip smiled and said, “It’s okay, but now is not the best time to make a move.”
Tim nodded and said to Wade, “Wade, I’ll give you a chance to shoot now. As long as you dare, you can fire at any time.”
Wade was in a difficult position now. His face was flushed and he was very angry. However, he could not give the order because now was not the best time. If he did not shoot, Wade would still feel indignant about it.
For a while, the atmosphere on the scene fell into a bizarre deadlock.
It was also at this moment that Morrow Clarke, the second old master of the branch family who had not spoken until now, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times before saying, “That’s enough, Wade. Let them put their guns away. Today is the ancestor commemoration day, not a day for fighting and killing. Don‘t let outsiders see us as the laughingstock of the Clarke family.”
Since Morrow had spoken, Wade got the chance to make a retreat He glared at Tim angrily and waved his hand before the guards of the branch family put their guns away.
At this point, the skirmish came to a temporary end.
