As soon as Andy said those words, Sandra pushed her away. Fortunately, Andy was on her guard as she pulled Roxie with her and jumped a meter away.
A white-colored haze shot out of Sandra’s palms. Spencer did not manage to dodge in time and inhaled some of the haze before clutching his chest. He began choking and coughing.
As soon as he coughed, it caused him to inhale even more fine powder into his lungs. In no time at all, he was convulsing on the ground.
Spencer pointed at Sandra furiously. “I believed you…”
Andy said, “Were you aware that she can use poison, Grand-uncle?”
The terminally ill Sandra seemed to have gone through a complete transformation. Her zombie-like face was slowly recovering and color was gradually returning to her face.
She stood up from the recliner in an imposing and majestic manner.
Andy motioned to Roxie with her eyes. “Attack.”
They both leaped into the air.
In the living room.
There were sounds of people fighting and clamoring in the front courtyard.
There were fragmented sounds of admonishment in the back courtyard.
Grand Old Master Yorks and Jordan were extremely puzzled. They both turned to look at Baby Robbie in unison.
Grand Old Master Yorks was interested in finding out the abilities of Baby Robbie, Yorks Stronghold’s young master, hence he asked him deliberately, “Why is there fighting in the front and back courtyards, Baby Robbie?”
Baby Robbie was a meticulous and clear-sighted person. He might be a very insightful person, but it was unfortunate he had an unruly attitude.
Baby Robbie said nonchalantly, “Madam Nephele probably has an accomplice hiding in Yorks Stronghold.”
Jordan could not contain his laughter.
Baby Robbie said, “Look, even Grandpa Jordan understands what I’m saying but you don’t. I was right.”
Jordan explained to the confused Grand Old Master Yorks, “What Baby Robbie is trying to say is that those in the front courtyard are all men of prowess. What they need is wit. You’re a man of prowess too, Dad. You can’t help even if you go.” Jordan pointed at his own head.
Grand Old Master Yorks was dumbfounded. “You brat. Are you taking other people’s sides and calling the Yorks idiots?”
Grand Old Master Yorks was not mad Baby Robbie, however. On the contrary, he burst out laughing. “Hahaha. Baby Robbie is right. Yorks Stronghold is full of boorish yet moronic men. However, with a clever child like Baby Robbie to lead Yorks Stronghold, I believe that things will soon change for us all in Yorks Stronghold.
“If Baby Robbie says that it’s useless, I’ll sit here and see what will happen, then.” Grand Old Master Yorks sat down.
Soon, his servant came and reported, “Patriarch Spencer has been poisoned, Grand Old Master Yorks.”
