All the people present changed their face expressions.
Felix's expression was certain, and veins at the corners of his eyes were obvious.
"You dare!"
"Why wouldn't I?" Jack joked, domineering.
In an instant.
In the courtyard, swords were drawn.
The smell of war was strong.
Mr. Ward and Brent wanted to dissuade them, but both knew that things had reached the point where they were irreversible.
This had been the case since the moment they started fighting with Madame Hughes.
And the appearance of Felix, as Jack said, was simply to step into Jack's position, and Jack's doing this now was to break Felix's wishful thinking.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.
Madame Hughes lowered her head, trembling with laughter.
She attracted everyone to watch her in astonishment.
Suddenly, Madame Hughes looked up, "Felix, I wrongly blamed you back then and didn't give you the status of the heir. If you kill this bastard today, you can take his status!"
"Madame Hughes!"
As soon as she said that, Mr. Ward and Brent stopped her at the same time.
This was like trying to induce Felix to kill Jack for the benefit of the heir's status!
And no one among the younger generation of Hughes family could refuse such a huge benefit.
"Thank you, grandma!"
Felix smiled happily, the index finger of his right hand was already on the trigger of the pistol.
Jack had guessed his thoughts which was making him a little flustered.
But now Madame Hughes' promises was just right for him!
Felix used to be really unruly, but he still dreamed of being the heir.
Living a life with beauties, holding the power of the world!
This was what every man longed for.
As a Hughes, as long as he could become the head of the family, he could realize his dream.
However, because of his character back in the time, he missed his chance of being nominated and was sent to the West to join the army.
Now that he returned to his hometown, he ran into Jack wanting to kill Madame Hughes, it was such a terrible incidence, but Felix saw an opportunity to "change his fate".
He believed that with his merits, he had enough strength to compete for the head of the family, and his heir status was his qualification!
"Mr. Ward, Brent, you two, one is the old servant of the Hughes family, the other is the bodyguard of the Hughes family, you eat the food of my family, have we raised a dog, now that you are still here with this bastard fighting your master?"
Madame Hughes had a stern voice, and Mr. Ward and Brent's faces changed drastically, but they were silent.
The next second.
Madame Hughes said again, "He is just a bastard, if he wants to kill me, then he should die, even if... you are Patrick's child!"
"Then, let's take a bet!"
Jack was not afraid, holding the handle of the long sword in his right hand, he was making a faint creaking sound.
Time seemed to freeze.
The air was even more suffocating.
It was as if an invisible big hand was severely strangling everyone's throat.
They were as if frozen.
Killian subconsciously pulled Madame Hughes a step backwards while stepping forward himself.
This could be considered as protection.
He missed the opportunity to protect Madam Hughes just now, but he would have to get the second at least.
"Felix! Shoot him!"
Madame Hughes spoke sharply, her old face covered in ferociousness, she looked like a mad beast.
"Young Master!"
Almost at the same time, Mr. Ward and Brent rushed towards to Jack.
"Prepare yourself, this time, I actually will use you to take the position!"
Felix's eyebrows were tightened, and his right hand was slowly pressing down. He didn't mind killing. After three years in the army in the West, his hands have already been stained with the blood of their enemies.
Why bother about some more blood of the Hughes family's bastard?
However.
"The head of the family is here!"
Outside the house, there was a sudden shout.
It was like a loud thunder.
It let everything in the house stop instantly.
Boom!
Without Madame Hughes' approval, the gate of the house was kicked open.
All eyes followed the sound.
