After saying that, Desmond led hundreds of guards and carried Gerry’s body to the main family. This
group of people left the law enforcement hall boisterously.
Wherever they went, all the servants of the Clarke family and ordinary citizens were so shocked that
they stood by the roadside and dared not move. They bowed with their heads lowered.
It was only after Desmond and the group passed by in front of them that they dared to whisper.
“Oh no! Something’s wrong! Isn’t that the third elder? What are they doing here?”
“Haven’t you heard? Philip Clarke of the main family, who just returned, has killed Gerry Clarke! The
third elder is bringing people to question him!”
“What? Young Master Philip killed Gerry? It’s over! He’s in big trouble now!”
Soon, news of Philip beating Gerry to death spread throughout Clarke Manor. The news spread like
wildfire. From the children of the Clarke family down to the servants, everyone knew that Philip had
beaten Gerry to death.
Incidentally, even the news that Philip had broken the limbs of Fourth Old Master and Sixth Elder of the
law enforcement hall at the Fourth Madam’s residence today to protect the wife he brought back from
outside, the so-called Young Madam, had spread. Almost everyone who knew the news gasped.
Unbelievable!
Young Master Philip Clarke had only just returned to the island and he already caused such a big fuss.
He had offended both the branch family and the law enforcement hall in one shot. Moreover, they were
high-ranking old masters and elders.
Just as Desmond was leading a group of people to Philip’s residence, Horace stood at the entrance of
the law enforcement hall. He swept a glance at the three elders behind him who displayed different
expressions and said, “Everyone, since a decision has been made, don’t hesitate anymore. This matter
is a fight between the main and branch families. I hope you won’t interfere readily. I’ll inform First Elder
now.”
After saying that, Horace turned around and left the main hall, heading straight for the courtyard at the
back. This place was the sleeping chambers of the ten elders.
Horace did not waste time in announcing his arrival at the entrance and directly barged into First
Elder’s courtyard. This courtyard looked ancient, simple, and uncharacteristic with no sign of luxury and
extravagance.
Everything looked elegant and rustic. Trees and flowers were planted in the courtyard. There were
some birds and crickets.
As Horace walked in, the servant standing at the entrance bowed slightly and whispered, “Fifth Elder,
First Elder is resting and declines to see guests.”
Horace frowned and said, “It’s urgent. I’m going in. I’ll be responsible if something happens.”
After saying that, Horace barged in and saw an old man in white pajamas lying on a wicker chair. He
was leisurely basking in the sun. With a head full of white hair, he was over a hundred years old!
He was the most senior and oldest person in the entire Clarke family. He was the ancestor of the last
five generations. He belonged to the generation of Roger Clarke’s great-grandfather!
He was in the same generation as Philip’s great-great-grandfather. He was practically a relic in terms of
status and identity in the Clarke family.
Everyone was just a kid in his eyes. His power could be said to be very high. He could even veto the
successor of the Clarke family.
Despite that, he had retired to the background and did not interfere in the Clarke family’s affairs.
However, if he were to walk out of this courtyard, it would definitely be a big event for the Clarke family.
At that time, perhaps many heads would roll!
