Chapter 95
After killing Claire with one blow, Kieren turned around and rushed into the room immediately.
Warren quickly followed after him.
Everyone in the Mason family did not think much about Claire’s death. They simply looked on, unmoved.
Naturally, they were more worried about what happened to Zavian and Ethan.
By then, Kieren and Warren had already charged into the room.
The room was filled with the cries of the old man.
They saw him kneeling on the ground in the middle of the room.
In front of him were two broken jade plaques, each bearing the names Ethan and Zavian.
There were cracked lines running right across the inscriptions.
Those were the exact jade plaques the man had mentioned earlier.
“Dad!”
Kieren and Warren shouted out to their father in unison.
They ran to both sides of the elderly man and helped him up from the ground.
The elderly man with snow–white hair gazed through his tear–stained eyes with a sense of profound sorrow.
Despite his grey hair, his countenance remained youthful and unaged. No wrinkles could be found on his face.
His mere presence exuded a magnetic and awe–inspiring aura, capturing the attention of everyone present.
Since his return to Brookspring, Gavin had never encountered such a powerful force as that man.
The elderly man was the present head of the Mason family in Greenwald. He was also Kieren and Warren’s father, Tristan
Mason.
Kieren and Warren supported their father to sit on a chair. Tristan could only cover his face and continue sobbing.
The two brothers stared at the shattered jade plaques on the floor.
Their faces had turned ashen with shock.
Kieren was rendered speechless.
“No. It’s impossible!
“What happened to Zavian and Ethan?”
“They were on their way to Brookspring last night. Why are their plaques….
“Is this Gavin’s doing? Is it possible that he killed them singlehandedly?” Kieren said.
Kieren and Warren’s eyes were filled with sorrow and horror.
Just then, Tristan spoke up, choking back his tears,
“Ten years ago…
Tve warned all of you ten years ago that the Clifford family is not to be trifled with.
“Why didn’t you listen to me? Why didn’t all of you heed my advice
If Gavin had been present, what Tristan just said would have raised some doubts in his mind.
It was true.
From Tristan’s tone, it seemed like he disapproved of the plan to attack the Clifford family ten years ago.
Despite his warning, the other members of the Mason family went ahead to join the other prestigious families to attack the Clifford family
Kieren and Warren’s faces became more solemn.
Kieren turned to look at Tristan.
“Dad, what’s the point of saying all this now?
“Besides, we were acting under Commander Latrell’s orders back then. We can’t possibly defy Commander Latrell”
Commander Latrell!
Once again, the name appeared in Tristan’s mind.
The name was never heard among the prestigious families in Brookspring.
However, both the Hill family and the Mason family heard of the name Commander Latrell.
Moreover, it seemed like Commander Latrell was a very formidable force.
Back then, the Clifford family was the most powerful family in Greenwald. The Mason family was ranked just below them.
Yet, there was no such title as the second most powerful family.
Despite that, the Mason family was a powerful force that could not be underestimated.
Hence, the Clifford family must be a much more dominant and fearful force for the Mason family to hold them in awe.
Tristran let out a loud sigh
“Ha‘ Commander Latrell
“Do you remember how ya pernaded me to attack the Clifford family then?
“You told me that if we did what Commander Latrell told us to do, we’d split the assets of the Clifford family. The Mason family will then become the most powerful family.
“Look what happened now? The Mason family’s influence and power have been diminishing over the last ten years.
“Now, we aren’t even half as powerful as what we used to be. Don’t you understand what’s happening?
Tristan was certain there must be a hidden secret behind all that had happened.
Gavin wa
ne that three out of the four most powerful families in Brookspring launched an attack on the Clifford family ten years ago.
They were the Harper family, the Dawson family, and the Holman family.
Those families powers were completely different from the past.
24
After the destruction of the Clifford family, the three families‘ fortunes and social status had grown from strength to strength.
Very quickly, they became three of the four most powerful families in Brookspring.
The Taylor family remained one of the four most powerful families because Vincent was helping Layla all this while.
On the other hand, the Mason family’s fortune and influence had been diminishing over the years, like what Tristan said.
It was strange how their fortunes had turned out compared to the three families in Brookspring.
Kieren and Warren, who had been listening intently to Tristan, looked disturbed.
They did not say a word.
After some time, Kieren managed to find his voice.
“Dad, let’s not talk about the past anymore. We need to plan our next steps. What should we do now?”
Three of Kieren’s younger brothers were killed by Gavin in Brookspring.
It was no use regretting what they did in the past. It did not matter if they regretted taking part in the attack on the Clifford family.
Gavin had killed three members of the Mason family.
Kieren vowed to avenge them.
Warren clenched his fists tightly, simmering in anger.
“Gavin, you son of a bitch!
“He’s a hopeless case now, defeated and alone. He doesn’t have any help. How dare he attack our family?
“He’s a homeless piece of trash.”
