Chapter 278
“I dare you to touch the token, Howard Conor!”
Just as Howard was about to wave his hand and take the token, an indifferent voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire hall.
After hearing this voice, everyone present was instantly shocked and looked terrified.
The 20 celestial warriors, as well as Howard who was sitting on the throne, and Mr. Lawrence who was kneeling below, instantly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the entrance of the hall.
“Who is it? Name yourself!”
Howard shouted in a deep voice.
No one replied to Howard.
Instead, a series of rhythmic but very muffled footsteps sounded in the spacious hall.
Accompanied by these footsteps, one figure after another appeared in the hall.
The leading one was Gavin, the Dark Lord of Frostpeak Dark Warriors.
Following behind Gavin were naturally the members of Frostpeak Dark Warriors Team D.
They slowly walked forward step by step.
The 20 celestial warriors instantly got into a battle stance and shouted in unison.
“Who are you? Name yourselves!”
Their voice was so loud and intimidating.
However, the people they were facing now were Frostpeak Dark Warriors and Gavin.
They could pose no threat to the Frostpeak Dark Warriors.
Gavin slowly stopped and looked at Howard from afar. Howard was sitting on the throne and staring at him with a frown.
Then, Gavin said in a deep voice, “Don’t you know me, Howard Conor?”
Gavin’s fists were still clenched tightly because Howard, his second uncle, had betrayed him and the entire Clifford family. His hands were stained with the blood of the Clifford family members.
Howard frowned slightly when he heard Gavin’s voice. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, but one could tell from the contused look in his eyes that Howard did not recognize Gavin right away.
Howard even said, “You’re just a nobody How dare you talk to me like that? Don’t you know your place? Im Howard Conor the Thorns ruler Why should I know
an insignificant person like you?”
Howard’s voice was naturally filled with inordinate arrogance. He sounded just like a mighty superior.
However, after Gavin heard Howard’s words, his brows slowly furrowed when a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Gavin thought, ‘Howard actually doesn’t recognize me at first glance?
‘It can’t be!
‘He’s my second uncle. He guided me and took me to cause trouble everywhere when I was young.
Although it has been ten years, it’s impossible for Howard not to know me.
‘But what’s going on now?”
Just as Gavin was feeling puzzled, Mr. Lawrence, who was kneeling on the ground, began to tremble violently.
He even said in fear, “It’s you? You-you actually made it here?”
“Hmm?” Hearing Mr. Lawrence’s voice, Howard raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Mr. Lawrence, “Do you know him?”
Before Mr. Lawrence could speak, one of the celestial warriors from Thorns seemed to have discovered something and said directly, “Mr. Conor, he looks very similar to the person in the photo. He’s that man, Gavin Clifford!”
At this moment, Mr. Lawrence nodded crazily in agreement.
“That’s right, Mr. Conor. He is Gavin Clifford from the Clifford family in Brookspring!”
“Is that so?” Howard was slightly stunned when he heard what they said. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Gavin.
“Haha…”
The next second, the arrogant laughter that belonged exclusively to Howard sounded again.
He said to Gavin, “So… you’re my long-lost nephew! Gavin Conor, why did you come empty-handed when you came to pay me a visit? What happened to your
manners?
Howard’s words, coupled with his frivolous and contemptuous tone, were actually a great insult to Gavin
Gavin’s frown deepened at the moment
He was thinking Why didn’t Howard Conor recognize me right when he saw me! He only recognized me after his men reminded him Is he really my uncle
Gavin narrowed his eyes slightly
Howard’s expression gave Gavin a strange feeling
However, although Howard looked somewhat aged, Gavin would definitely not forget his second uncle’s face.
Also, Gavin would never forget Howard’s voice.
Gavin wondered, ‘Is it because it has been ten years and my changes are quite obvious that he failed to recognize me?
‘But it can’t be.
‘If my changes were too great, why did my sister, my fiancee, and Kris recognize me at first sight?
‘Is it because of the difference in the memories between men and women?’
Although Gavin had such doubts, now was not the time for him to delve into this
matter.
Gavin looked at Howard from afar and asked gloomily, “Why did you betray the Clifford family?”
“Haha!”
Upon hearing Gavin’s question, Howard actually laughed arrogantly again and said loudly, “Why did I betray the Clifford family?
“How dare you ask me such a simple question?
“Capable men choose the right leader to serve. The Clifford family members are just a bunch of trash! If not for the token that the Clifford family possessed, Thorns would have killed all you bastards long ago. Why would we wait until that day?”
“You didn’t even let go of your biological sister?” Gavin almost gave a roar.
