At Wade’s command, four guards with law enforcement batons immediately rushed in from the main
entrance of the memorial hall.
The law enforcement batons in their hands were made of redwood. They were as thick as an arm and
engraved with the Clarke family rules.
Clatter!
The four guards knocked the law enforcement batons onto the floor tiles. The young masters and
young ladies watching the excitement went pale with fright. They were about to enforce the family rules
in front of the branch family’s memorial plaques.
If Philip got hit with the wooden batons, even if he did not die, a layer of his skin would surely be peeled
off.
In the crowd, the elders and people in charge of the branch family sat on the chairs with faces filled
with anger, as well as cold ridicule and sarcasm.
An old man with a goatee stroked his beard and sneered. “Huh, a child of the main family dares to be
so arrogant and rebellious in the branch family’s memorial hall. Master Wade, I think breaking his legs
is too easy of a punishment for him.”
When Wade heard that, he glanced sideways and asked with a sneer, “Oh, what do you have in mind,
then?”
The old man with a goatee added with a sinister smile, “I think we should first let this kid bow and
apologize to our ancestors in addition to breaking both his legs. Then, we’ll hang him up in the branch
family’s square so that all the children of the Clarke family can see what happens if they violate the
family rules and disrespect our ancestors!”
“Yes, Ted is right! Such a disrespectful child deserves to suffer! Breaking both his legs is indeed too
easy for him!”
Next to him, another tall, thin, and withered old man agreed.
“Master Wade, I think that Ted has a point. So what if he’s the young master of the main family? When
he’s in the branch family’s memorial hall, he has to follow our rules!”
“Right! Even if Roger is here now, he still has to kneel and pay his respects!”
In a flash, all the heads and people in charge of the branch family followed in agreement.
On the side, the young masters and young ladies of the branch family watching the excitement were
full of cold smiles at this moment.
“Hehe, look, that’s the eldest young master of the main family. He’s the heir too, but when he comes to
our branch family, he has to act like a cowardly turtle!”
“But of course! You may not. know this, but he used to be very arrogant on Arcadia Island. He beat up
many of our branch family members. Such a guy deserves to be disabled!”
“That’s just because he has a good father. If it were anyone else, they’d be dead long ago!”
This group of young masters and young ladies laughed mockingly at this moment. They could hardly
wait for Granduncle Wade to immediately take action.
Hearing that, Wade nodded with an expression of approval. Then, he turned to the indifferent Philip and
asked, “Philip, how about it? Do you admit your mistakes? If you don’t, I’ll have to enforce the branch
family rules!”
At this moment, Desmond stepped forward. He had been treated by the servants, so the injury on his
face was a little better. He walked out with his cane, his cold eyes staring at Philip. He said, “Before the
family law is enforced on him, I want this boy to kneel before my great-grandson‘s corpse and confess
his sins!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, four underlings carried a stretcher into the branch family’s
memorial hall.
Gerry Clarke was lying on it, his eyes tightly closed. He had long ago taken his last breath.
Seeing this scene, all the branch family members were furious and immediately pointed at Philip while
cursing, “Boy, you’re simply too brutal! Kneel, on your knees at once!”
“That’s right! Kneel and plead guilty!”
“He must receive the harshest punislnnent!”
For a while, everyone rallied. In everyone’s eyes, Philip was a villain who did nothing but evil. Wade
sneered at Philip who was drowning in a whirlpool of angry curses.
However, amid everyone’s shocked gaze, Philip snorted and turned to look coldly at the old man with a
goatee who spoke earlier.
With a smirk, Philip asked, “What’s your name?”
