Hearing this, whispers rise louder as people begin picking up on what Herbert was going to say. Gasps filled the air one by one as they finally figured it out.“No way!”“I….It can't be!”As for Veronica M, she frowned deeply at this revelation, feeling her heart fill up with greater hatred for Benjamin after finding out that he's actually the son of a legitimate child of her grandfather.She turned to Hannah.“Mom, what the heck is Prime Butler Herbert talking about…”She trailed off as she noticed that her mother had a frozen expression on her face, almost haunted, as she stared up at Benjamin with something akin to newfound understanding.“He's….oh my goodness! It's him. He really looks like him.”Veronica raised an eyebrow in growing confusion.“What the heck?! Mom, what are you seriously on about right now? Who looks like who? Benjamin? Who did he look like?”She felt a firm hand on her shoulder, making her turn to find a weird look that her father was giving her. She calmed dow

Hannah heard her daughter's whispered words and turned to her to find an immense look of anger and dejection on her face. She attempted to reach out and hold her face, but Veronica turned away.“No wonder Grandpa even went as far as to provide him with soldiers from his own troops as his security unit. It never made sense to me, until now. So it turns out that he was extending the love he could no longer shower on his favoured son to his grandson.”Those words ‘favored son’ immediately brought Hannah's emotions down a notch. She couldn't help but chuckle with a bitter tone.“Even after all these years, that bastard brother of mine is still haunting me. Goodness! Well done, Dallas. Well done.”Herbert had nothing else to say. He understood that with this revelation done, no one would dare bully Benjamin like this ever again.He turned to whisper to Benjamin.“It's time to head up to the council hall, Young Master. Your grandfather and the Elder Council are waiting for you.”Benjamin n

After going through the main hallway on the second floor, they got into an elevator and rode it straight to the fourth floor, getting out to find another long hallway, with a huge pair of doors at the end.Halfway through this hallway they could see that there were Whiteridge soldiers lined up across the walls, all in exquisite uniforms. One could easily see that these soldiers were similar to the group that Herbert McKlin had appeared with when he first showed up. This group of Whiteridge soldiers has to belong to the same elite-tier golden troops that serve the patriarch alone.As they approached the huge doors, they opened slightly, and a muscular and tall middle-aged man walked out of the Council Hall, letting out a sigh of relief when he found that Herbert had returned, and he wasn't alone.“Oh, you're here. Thank goodness. Those goddamn nagging oldies in there wouldn't stop grumbling already, and it's not even time yet.”Herbert chuckled.“This is the elders we're talking about
Chapter 614
“Quiet! Everyone, pipe down!”The male elder who spoke had an extremely aloof tone to his voice as he gave the order.“Since the long-lost young master of our family is finally here, let's be him shall we?”Both Herbert and Lewis glanced at each other before bowing down at ninety degrees towards these people, but they were directly facing the patriarch for the most part.“We've brought Young Master Benjamin to you as demanded. He now stands before you for the trial that challenges his worthiness of being the current top contender for the position of Heir Apparent.”“Patriarch, Members of the Elder Council, we request that you hold this trial with no prejudices, nor motives, as it greatly concerns the future of this family.”They bowed slightly lower for a few more seconds before rising. Without another word, they both glanced at him, giving him a reassuring smile before walking away. Benjamin watched as these two leading subordinates walked in the direction of the great master, clim

Elder Biscroft didn't dare glance around the room at the faces of the other elders. He simply clenched his jaw and pointed down at Benjamin.“How dare you make such an insinuation?! I would never look down on your father?! The late Master Dallas is a legend in the history of books of this family!”Benjamin stood firmly on his feet, glaring up at this elder figure.“If that's the case, and you truly stand by what you've just said, you would have never made those remarks about my mother! Caroline Thompson, that's her name! And Dallas Whiteridge loved her! Don't forget that next time, Elder Biscroft!”The room was filled with murmurs, specifically from the lower elders behind the grand seats.“Damn! Did he really talk back to Elder Biscroft?!”“I know, right? Isn't he afraid of the elder activating the gravity punishment once again? The one he was struck with looked like it really hurt.”“I know, but look at the guy. He's completely recovered from it.”“Yeah, isn't he the same person wh
Chapter 616
This is what's horrifying a lot of the audience, as well as thrilling them at the moment. Those punishments can not be handled by most humans. No one here has ever seen a member of the Whiteridge family be subjected to such a harsh punishment in the Elder Council Hall. It's usually the likes of the Whiteridge soldiers who brave this kind of punishment. Ordinary humans could easily lose their lives.Yet, Elder Biscroft executed this punishment on Benjamin, but there is no complaint because Benjamin was basically classified as a Whiteridge soldier- level defendant, and thus, this measure is allowed.But this degree of gravity increase and electrocuting arrow were actually raised slightly in comparison to the degree that most Whiteridge soldiers deal with here.Back to the present,Elder Biscroft grinned with a cruel expression as he snapped his fingers once again.Immediately, Benjamin felt the gravity around him double, and he was forced back on his knees as it felt like he was being

Benjamin took the arrows, one and a tone, and threw them in the direction of each of the elders who he had come to learn were in the same team as Elder Biscroft.Therefore, Elder Harlene, Elder Joseph, Elder Penelope, Elder Junior, and Elder Cheyenne. All five of these elders were Benjamin's target.And each of their stations recurved one electrocuting arrow perfectly stuck to one of the poles in the balusters. Despite the odds of mistakenly throwing one of the arrows in the open spaces between the baluster structures, Benjamin had ended up throwing with great precision, sticking the landing in the end.These five elders were terrified at the sudden attacks. But since those arrows only channel electric current through conductible elements, they were safe.Anyway, that was Benjamin's intention from the start. He never intended to hurt any of these elders, as they had not offended him ... .not yet, at least.But Elder Biscroft was a different topic, and he had to show that he was not

By the time Benjamin was done, he had formed a dagger the size of a large man's hand, and with all that destructive force imbued into that shape, Benjamin was staring at Elder Biscroft alone, a sinister smile on his face.“Your time is up! I'm coming for you!”He then lunged up, jumping higher than a normal person should be able to do.Elder Biscroft screamed with all his lungs, like the cry of a banshee.“Goodness, nooooo!”Benjamin smashed his lightning fist into the baluster, causing a great explosion that made everyone watching, especially those who were close by to where Elder Biscroft, shield their head out of fear that the broken rocks would fall on them.That didn't happen. However, everyone heard Elder Biscroft let out another banshee scream, and they caught him falling from the great height where his seat used to be, to now falling to the center of the coliseum like a room, where Benjamin had stood, and he had looked down on the young man with eyes and heart filled with imm
CHAPTER 619
“Goodness! Did Elder Biscroft just pee himself?!”“In front of so many people?! Fuck, that's embarrassing!”“Ugh! What is he doing?! As if he hasn't humiliated himself enough!”“Do you think, maybe, Young Master Benjamin is going a bit too far with this?!”“Bitch l, what are you talking about?! We all saw the hell of our Young Master Benjamin, just because he can, without the slightest regard for the great master himself. He was recklessly arrogant, and hopefully, this will be a reminder to him that he should never assume power in a system where he knows he's not the king.”A lot of people have lost respect for Elder Biscroft through this incident, and it will definitely affect the way he's regarded from now on. It seems he has been marked by this humiliation, and it will remain an awful stain on him for the rest of his life.Hearing some of the words of ridicule directed towards him, Elder Biscroft could no longer take it anymore. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell
