Chapter 3253 Give In
“Even if everyone doesn’t get to enter the ancestral land, there’s no way I’ll let anyone from Behemoth Palace enter!” Lawrence bellowed, his face flushed with anger.
“Mr. Lawrence, since you don’t agree to this condition, save your breath and let our fists do the talking!”
The moment Gideon finished speaking, the auras of the members of Behemoth Palace surged once more.
“Mr. Lawrence, just let the young man enter. What difference would it make? It’s just one person. It’s not as if he can use up a lot of unclaimed nascence.”
“Exactly. We can’t just hinder ourselves from entering the ancestral land as well because of this matter.”
“The development of we from the branch families is slow in the first place. After so many years of waiting, if we still can’t enter the ancestral land, what will we, the descendants, rely on to enhance our abilities?”
Those from the branch families began to pressure Lawrence once more.
A hint of a smile tugged at Enrique’s lips. I will surely defeat Lawrence today! If Lawrence allows Gideon’s son to enter the ancestral land, I have fulfilled my promise to Gideon, and my collaboration with him is secured. On the other hand, if Lawrence is hell-bent on refusing Gideon’s son entry to the ancestral land, he will offend the many members of the Seizon family’s side branches.
Consequently, Enrique could win over those from the branch families, isolate Lawrence, and the next head of the family position would go to him. Hence, regardless of Lawrence’s decision that day, Enrique was guaranteed victory.
Lawrence stared at those from the branch families before glancing at Enrique, who wore a faint smile. His face had turned beet red from anger, and he was trembling slightly.
Despite knowing very well that it was Enrique’s trap, Lawrence had no choice but to enter it.
Upon seeing the extent of his father’s fury, Cade snapped, “Enrique, what are your intentions in colluding with Behemoth Palace? Don’t think no one knew about your visit to Behemoth Palace some time ago.”
He had tailed Enrique the entire way to Behemoth Palace back then, so when he saw the latter putting on an act alongside Gideon earlier, he could not stand it any longer.
Now, I’m going to reveal Enrique’s true colors. Enrique’s expression turned icy. “I’m your uncle, Cade. How dare you be so disrespectful toward me. Did your dad not teach you manners?”
“Cade, how dare you address my dad by his first name and falsely accuse him of colluding with Behemoth Palace! Do you have any respect for your elders? You have disrespected your elder and must be punished!” Yorath stepped forward and shouted at Cade.
“Yorath, you are also disrespecting your elder by addressing my older brother in such a manner, so you must also be punished,” Livya said, defending Cade.
Genya also spoke up. “You’re but an immature kid, Livya. Do you have any right to speak here? You’d better go and look for Miya. Who knows? She may be sleeping with some uncivilized man.”
“You…” Livya’s face turned red in anger. However, she had to admit that when it came to arguing, Miya was better than her. Lawrence frowned as he observed the chaos at the scene. “That’s enough. Shut up, all of you!”
Everyone fell silent at his words. “You’re right, Enrique. Regarding this matter, I’ll do as you say. I can take out the family head token and allow someone from Behemoth Palace to enter the ancestral land.”
Lawrence ultimately gave in and took out the family head token resignedly. Enrique broke into a smile when he saw that. “I must commend you for being wise and grasping the bigger picture, Lawrence. How else could you have become the family head…”
Enrique accepted the family head token and gave it to Jadiel. He then shared a smile with Gideon. Having settled this matter, everyone started heading toward the Seizon family’s ancestral land.
A group of a few dozen people ended up marching into the ancestral land. Jadiel stood out the most in the group as he was almost two heads taller than the others. Yorath and Genya walked on either side of him, chatting merrily.
Livya could only glare viciously at them, not daring to say anything. With Cade not qualified to enter and Miya gone who knew where, she was alone and helpless.
