“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
Chapter 613
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 612
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

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
Chapter 610
At this point, Herbert McKlin had no objection to Benjamin taking the position of Heir Apparent. He had the perfect temperament to become a successful patriarch in the future, and that made him extremely happy.Witnessing how Benjamin put his own aunt in place, assured Herbert that Benjamin would never let his desire for family get in the way of his role as the supreme head of this family.On his very first day of reuniting with his family, Benjamin showed them all exactly why he has what it takes to be the Heir Apparent, and later go on to take the mantle of Patriarch from his grandfather.Since Benjamin has proven himself capable in a way that Herbert didn't even think was possible, but far more impressive than any scenario that he had planned, he figured that there was no need for him to hold certain truths. Herbert McKlin walked across the stage with his gaze sharp as ever. He snapped his fingers, and two of the elite-tier golden soldiers immediately hurried over to carry Veroni
Chapter 609
Veronica knew that her mother was going to call her for help in that kind of situation, so she hid behind her father.Hannah stared at her hiding daughter in a daze hole where a shiver of disappointment washed down her back.Hannah Whiteridge couldn't help but wonder if her daughter knew that Benjamin could do something that she, and so many others, had believed was exclusive to the Whiteridge soldiers: manipulate their emotions to intimidate others.But the fact to Benjamin's display was the fact that his intent outburst was much…..scarier.It's like a group of lions who have always believed their roars to be the scariest, now hearing the fearsome rise of a tiger for the first time in their lives.People couldn't help but wonder how he had even come to possess the power he did. Many of these family members have heard about the fact that Benjamin was missing for months while grieving up in the slums with his foster grandmother. Then he just showed up out of nowhere, and that might h
