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

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

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

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

“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
