His eyes were ice-cold!
His murderous aura filled the room!
Philip kept staring at Canon, approaching him one step at a time. He grabbed Canon by the collar and lifted him from the ground, saying coolly, “Since you don’t care about your own life, Canon Clarke, why do I think I would care?”
Canon looked up, blood leaking from his mouth. He said wildly, “Haha, don’t sound so scary, Phil. If you really have the balls to do it, you would have done it by now. You’re just trying to scare me. As if you actually dare to kill me! Would you really be willing to give up your inheritance?”
Canon’s bluster came directly from his knowledge of the family rules.
He knew that members of the family were not allowed to kill each other!
“Do you think I care about the family rules?”
Philip said all of a sudden, his eyes filled with a brutal bloodlust!
Ba-thump!
Canon shuddered when he saw the look in Philip’s eyes. Stuttering slightly, he said, “W-What are you doing?”
Philip responded with a punch right into Canon’s gut!
That single punch sent Canon’s innards into an upheaval. He vomited a torrent of blood!
Bam!
Philip then kicked him one more time!
The kick landed on Canon’s stomach. Add that to the previous kick, and Canon had broken five or six ribs!
By now, Canon was lying on the ground like a dead dog. It hurt to even talk, and every time he panted, he could taste blood.
“Y-You… can’t kill me! I’m the sixth young master of the branch family!”
Canon forced the words out through his teeth, watching in horror as Philip stalked toward him, his expression cold and his fist clenched.
Right now, Canon finally smelled death in the air!
Philip really did dare to kill him!
“Canon Clarke, you hurt my wife and my daughter. You challenge my limits over and over, so even if you are an heir to the branch family, I will kill you today. No one can save you!”
Philip said coldly, swinging his fist!
That punch was a culmination of his overflowing fury.
Canon’s pupils dilated and he watched as that clenched fist approached his face. He wailed, “Grandpa, save me! Save me!”
All of a sudden!
A cold voice barked from the door!
“Stop! Who dares hurt my grandson!”
There were ten members in the enforcement hall, all carefully chosen from the main and branch families. They were all influential elders from within the family who followed the family rules to the T!
At the same time, they represented the family’s image and influence to some extent.
That was why most members of the family were terrified of them like mice afraid of cats.
Just the slightest violation of the family rules could result in three months of solitary confinement!
Solitary confinement under the Clarke family enforcement hall was nothing short of a nightmare.
“Great-uncle Gerard.”
Philip raised his brow but eventually greeted Gerard anyway.
Only then did Gerard walk in. He looked at Canon, who was still lying on the floor, and then turned to Philip, his voice icy. “You hurt a member of the family. Do you still remember the seventeenth family rule? Are you reciting the rules every day?”
Philip’s gaze gradually grew colder as Gerard pressed him forcefully.
This old man was clearly trying to accuse him of a crime, by hook or by crook.
“Won’t you ask me why I beat him up, Great-uncle?”
Philip asked coldly, fury flaring in his chest.
Fury aimed at Gerard Clarke.
