The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 2041
“Haha!”

Wade laughed and said, “Philip boy, you think too highly of yourself. This is the branch family, not your main family! Here, the branch family rules over the sky! Get down on your knees at once!”

Philip snorted and asked instead, “Really? Okay, I’ll kneel, then.”

As soon as Philip said that, Wade was taken aback. Was he going to kneel just like that?

The elders and people in charge of the branch family were also slightly startled. However, they were instantly overwhelmed by anger.

“Kneel! That’s right, on your knees at once!”

“Hehe, I’m afraid it’s too late for him to kneel now!”

“Yes, he’s too insolent. It’s useless even if he kneels now. He must be punished severely! Otherwise, others will think that the branch family is a pushover!”

For a while, everyone’s anger was ignited again.

Among them, Ted Clarke was the most furious.

At his age, he was actually slapped twice by a junior in front of all the elders and people in charge of the branch family!

Hateful!

Simply intolerable!

He could not wait to rush over, grab the law enforcement batons, and cane Philip to death!

However, when he thought of Philip’s brutal attack on him just now, he felt weak in the knees.

Thus, he could only curse and condemn Philip along with the rest.

Philip looked at the ugly faces of this group of people. His eyes then fell on Wade as he said blandly, “Don’t regret it.”

Wade scoffed and said, “What’s there to regret? I won’t rest until I take you down today!”

Philip nodded and bent his knees, prepared to kneel.

Clatter!

Suddenly, the crisp sound of an object falling to the ground resounded throughout the branch family’s memorial hall!

Everyone watched as a jade thumb ring fell on the floor.

On the ring was the word ‘Sovereign’ engraved on it!

The moment they saw this ring, all the elders and people in charge of the branch family stopped talking!

All the angry curses got stuck in their throats!

They stared at the ring on the floor with wide eyes.

Wade, Desmond, as well as Hansel and Salem behind them, rushed over at the first opportunity to look at the ring on the floor!

Instantly, the four of them gasped aloud, their faces full of horror.

The expressions on their faces also changed from anger to horror, then disbelief and finally panic!

This… Was this the Sovereignty Seal?

Why the hell did this kid have the Sovereignty Seal?

Everyone could not figure it out.

All of them looked at each other without daring to say another word or even breathe aloud!

The surrounding young masters and young ladies of the branch family did not know the Sovereignty Seal very well and looked at the ring on the floor with curiosity.

What was going on?

Why did everyone stop talking when they saw this ring?

At this moment, Philip, who was about to kneel, sneered faintly. He bent down to pick up the ring as though he had accidentally dropped it and said casually, “Oops, sorry. It accidentally fell out. I didn’t scare you guys, did I?”

Philip chuckled and said, the smile on his face innocent and harmless. It looked as though it was really an accident.

Damn it!

Wade was about to vomit blood!

Was he really being careless?

He stared at the Sovereignty Seal in Philip’s hand with wide eyes for a long while before saying, “How did you get this ring?”

Philip hummed, raised the ring in his hand, waved it at Wade deliberately. He said, “Oh, you mean this? Uncle Tim gave it to me.”

With that said, Philip changed his tone and sneered. “So, do I still need to kneel?’

Kneel?

Wade was flustered and at a loss as he turned to look at Desmond.

At this moment, Desmond’s face was flushed red.

Chapter 2042
Damn it!

They finally got the chance to bring this kid to the branch family’s memorial hall and were about to lay their hands on him when the Sovereignty Seal suddenly appeared and disrupted their plans!

The hell with kneeling!

Desmond shook his head slightly and looked at Hansel and Salem, who also looked helpless.

Then, Desmond suddenly whispered to Wade, “Wade, check and see if the ring is a fake.”

Hearing that, Wade understood. He said to Philip, “Boy, show me the ring!”

Philip knew they would do this. He casually tossed the ring to Wade and said nonchalantly, “Take a good look at it and give it back to me.”

After that, he walked to a chair on the side and sat down swaggeringly.

Looking at this scene, everyone was furious but no one dared to speak up.

All of them came to Wade’s side and looked at the Sovereignty Seal in his hand.

Wade also looked at it carefully, flipping it back and forth. He finally looked at everyone helplessly as he nodded and whispered, “It’s genuine.”

At this moment, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the elders of the branch family.

Everyone felt a chill down their backs.

It was like being targeted by someone they could not mess with easily!

That feeling was terrifying!

In an instant, the figure of that person appeared in their heads!

Tim Clarke!

The second old master of the main family and Roger Clarke’s younger brother!

He had actually given Philip this Sovereignty Seal!

Was it not the same as handing over the general’s troops to the crown prince in medieval times?

It was the same as the crown prince overseeing the kingdom!

How were they supposed to play this game now?

Send all the elite guards of the branch family to fight to their deaths with the guards of the main family?

That was courting death!

Wade panicked, his eyes full of indignity. He turned to look at Philip who was sitting with his legs crossed. He was indifferent..

Seeing Wade looking at him at this moment, Philip smiled and said, “Are you done looking? Then give it back to me.”

Wade frowned helplessly, but he still passed the ring back to Philip.

Philip took it and casually held it in his hand. After that, he got up, stared at Wade, and asked with a smile, “Do you still need me to kneel?”

Wade’s chest was burning with anger but he could not vent it at this moment.

After holding back for a long time, he said, “No, you can go.”

He regretted it now.

Philip snorted and swept his gaze over the hall impassively.

Wherever he looked, the elders and people in charge of the branch family were looking sideways or had their heads lowered. Nobody dared to look straight at him.

This Sovereignty Seal was equivalent to Tim’s presence, and it also represented Roger!

Seeing the ring was like seeing the king!

Would the people of the branch family dare to disrespect Roger?

If they asked Philip to kneel now, it would be equivalent to asking Roger to kneel. The outcome would be absolutely miserable!

Philip averted his eyes and turned around. He put his hands behind his back and whistled as he walked out of the branch family’s memorial hall in a dignified manner.

With Wade in the lead, all the elders of the branch family were full of reluctance.

It was really hateful to let this brat leave like this!

Philip leisurely walked out of the memorial hall, waved his hand, and said, “I’ll visit again next time.”

After saying that, he was about to leave with the Griffin Army.

However, suddenly, a deep voice with the majesty of a dragon was heard at the entrance of the branch family’s memorial hall. “Who allowed you to leave?”

Chapter 2043
That imposing voice resounded throughout the entire branch family’s memorial hall.

Everyone focused their eyes in the direction of the main entrance.

A tall and imposing figure that was full of majesty had appeared at the main entrance with the setting sun behind him.

This person had a resolute and serious-looking angular face, searing eyes, thick eyebrows, stern eyes, a high nose, and thick lips, as well as an invincible aura that of a raging wolf.

His eyebrows, cold like they were carved from a blade, were deeply etched on his face.

When everyone saw this figure, they stopped clamoring and lowered their noble heads.

Even the high and mighty Wade and the others silently stood to the side. They bowed slightly when they saw this figure.

At the same time, there was a look of excitement and relief on their faces and they finally released a long breath.

This matter could be considered resolved to their satisfaction.

It would be the end of Philip today!

When Philip heard the words at this moment, he also raised his eyebrows and stared at the majestic figure who was walking through the front door.

Christian Clarke!

He was the current chieftain of the branch family with a high and powerful position. He was the leader of the entire branch family and an absolute authority figure!

In the Clarke family, his position was second only to his father, Roger Clarke!

There was a comment that the two Clarke dragons referred to Roger and Christian!

This person was by no means comparable to these mediocre people present!

To be able to control such a large branch Clarke family in his hands, he definitely had extraordinary talent and courage!

Philip frowned. He did not expect Christian to return at this time!

Christian had already stepped into the courtyard of the branch family’s memorial hall with only four personal guards behind him.

They were the elite guards of the branch family!

Four Dragon Guards!

Although not as powerful as Fulton Hash, if the four of them attacked Fulton together, it would be tricky for Fulton to handle them!

The background of the branch family was not as simple as one might think!

At this moment, Christian stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. His deep and

dark eyes were staring at Philip, who was across from him.

Between them, the distance of three meters seemed to be separated by a galaxy. There was turmoil and lighting in the middle, causing dazzling sparks to erupt!

Aura!

The entire branch family’s memorial hall was now shrouded by Christian’s invincible aura!

Everyone could not help but kneel and worship!

This was Christian’s prestige!

“Are you back?” Suddenly, Christian said impassively.

Philip nodded with a frown and said quite respectfully, “Fourth Uncle.”

He could not help it. In terms of seniority, Christian was Philip’s fourth uncle and also the patriarch of the branch family. He had to greet him as such.

At the same time, the Griffin Army behind him had entered combat mode. Their cold eyes stared fixedly at the branch family’s chieftain and the four elite guards behind him!

Christian responded coldly and said, “You still remember that I’m your fourth uncle.”

Those words carried a thunderous reprimand.

On the side, Wade, Desmond, and the rest were overjoyed when they heard Christian’s words.

Desmond was the first to rush out and complain to Christian, “Chieftain, you came back at the right time! Just look at this arrogant boy of the main family, causing trouble on the first day he returned. Before he even entered the memorial hall, he already wreaked havoc on the branch family! Look at my great-grandson, he was beaten to death by Philip!”

While Desmond was speaking, four guards carried Gerry’s corpse to Christian.

Christian’s face darkened as he glanced at Gerry’s corpse before he turned to Philip and asked, “Did you do it?”

Philip frowned and responded coldly, “He bullied my god-sister and insulted my wife. According to the Clarke family rules, he deserved to die!”

Like a tolling bell, his words rocked the branch family’s memorial hall!

Chapter 2044
Instantly, Desmond pointed at Philip and snarled. “Bullshit! How dare a brat like you talk nonsense without blinking at a time like this? How could Gerry have done such a thing? You’re simply full of crap!”

With that said, Desmond looked at Christian and was about to kneel as he shouted, “Chieftain, let me kneel before you. You must seek justice for my great-grandson. This brat must be killed!”

Seeing this, Christian reached out and grabbed Desmond while saying, “Granduncle Desmond, you mustn’t.”

Desmond was just playacting and went along with it as he stood up. Covering his face, he started to sob, “Chieftain, you must stand up for me.”

Christian nodded and replied, “Granduncle Desmond, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.”

After saying that, Christian looked at Philip and scolded, “You dare to be so rampant on the first day you returned? Do you not put my branch family in your eyes, or do you not put me, your fourth uncle, in your eyes?”

Philip frowned and asked coldly, “What do you want to do?”

Christian looked at the branch family’s memorial hall and said after a brief silence, “Bring out the family discipline.”

Instantly, all the elders and people in charge of the branch family were full of gloating smiles when they heard Christian’s order.

The family discipline!

This time, Philip was doomed for sure!

Everyone gave way as Christian walked into the memorial hall. After paying his respects, Christian took down a purple-red cane from the high platform.

This cane was engraved with the Clarke family rules and names of the ancestors.

There were two of such canes-one for the main family and one for the branch family.

It was the cane used by the Clarke family to enforce family discipline!

This cane could be used on mindless kings and treacherous officials!

Even if Roger violated the Clarke family rules, they could use the family discipline to pursue accountability!

It could be said that once the family discipline was invoked, the matter had come to an end!

In the crowd, Lex Clarke stood on one side, not saying a word since the beginning.

With cold light in his eyes, he kept staring at Philip from outside the door.

“It seems that there’s nothing more than that, “Lex mumbled under his breath.

The personal guards behind him said softly, “Second Young Master, do we still need to make contact with Philip in secret?”

Lex thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait for now. If he can’t even get through this, he won’t be of much help to me.”

All eyes were focused on Christian, At this moment, he held the cane in his hand, his searing eyes staring at Philip standing at the door. He said, “Aren’t you going to kneel now?”

Instantly, all the elders.and people in charge of the branch family pointed at Philip while shouting angrily in unison, “Kneel down!”

“Kneel!”

“Hurry up and kneel!”

The voices resounded throughout the entire branch family’s memorial hall imposingly!

After being chastised by so many people and asked to kneel, an ordinary person might really give in and kneel.

However, Philip was no ordinary person. With his hands still in his trouser pockets, he looked indifferently at Christian who was standing in front of the ancestors’ memorial plaques.

Snap!

Christian whipped the cane against the chair next to him.

Barn!

The chair shattered into pieces!

“Kneel down now!”

Christian shouted solemnly, “Men, take down this arrogant child for me!”

In an instant, the four Dragon Guards behind him stepped toward Philip!

In just a few steps, Philip felt the surge of pressure from these four Dragon Guards!

“Chieftain, Third Madam is here!”

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the main entrance!

Chapter 2045
Third Madam?

Hearing that, Christian frowned and looked at the entrance with raised eyebrows.

There, two guards stepped in.

After that, there was a delicate woman dressed in plain clothes with a rosary in hand. She was about 30 to 40 years old with well-maintained skin. Her figure was slim and curvy.

From a distance, this woman carried a cold demeanor as though she was a pious and religious person. It made others feel that they could not help but bow and retreat.

This woman, with long hair coiled on the top of her head, had a delicate face, pale thin lips, and a high nose bridge. There was indifference in her eyes.

She walked in slowly, and everyone in the courtyard stepped back silently to the side, not daring to say a word.

It seemed that this woman with a delicate body and only two accompanying guards made them very scared and intimidated!

The third madam of the Clarke family.

Since marrying into the Clarke family, she rarely made an appearance.

Even Philip had only seen her not more than three times in the past 20 years, and each meeting was very brief.

Therefore, Philip did not have a deep impression of the third mother nor did he know her very well.

Right behind the third madam was none other than Horace Clarke.

With his hands behind his back, and with a few attendants, he just slowly followed her inside.

“What’s going on? Such a big commotion. Even Christian Clarke has stepped out.”

Horace walked in with a trace of helplessness in his eyes as he asked Philip in a low voice.

Philip shook his head and said, “I didn’t know he’d come either. It seems that the branch family is determined to make an example out of me this time.”

Horace rolled his eyes at Philip and said, “Didn’t you say you have a plan?”

Philip shrugged and said, “Yeah, aren’t you my backup plan?”

Horace was startled before saying, “A kid like you dares to make use of me?”

Philip smiled and said, “Right back at you. All members of the Clarke family have the same virtue.”

Horace glared at him and said, “Okay, let’s leave this matter to your third mother.”

Philip nodded and turned to look at the woman standing in the courtyard.

The woman turned her head and glanced at Philip first before she walked over with light steps. She asked with a soft and cold voice, “Is everything okay?”

Philip shook his head and said with a bow, “Third Mother, I’m fine.”

The third madam nodded, turned around to look at Christian standing at the entrance of the memorial hall, and spoke in a clear, cold voice, “Can I take him back with me?”

Hearing that, Christian frowned. He clenched the disciplinary cane in his hands again and again before saying, “Third Madam, Philip has caused such a big disturbance and commotion in the branch family today. As the chieftain, don’t I have the right and qualification to discipline him?”

The third madam looked calm and unruffled as she took two steps forward. Her cold eyes swept over all the elders of the branch family present before her gaze fell on Wade and Desmond. She asked, “Do you need an explanation?”

Wade’s face twitched at this moment as some words got stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something but dared not. His eyes flickered to Christian.

As for Desmond, he relied on his seniority to stand forward. He bowed to the third madam before saying, “Third Madam, Philip behaved so arrogantly and killed my great-grandson. Can’t I even demand an explanation?”

The third madam nodded, looked at Gerry’s body on the ground, and said, “Granduncle Desmond has a point. How about this as a solution? I have a set of properties in my hands that should have a market value of more than ten billion. How about I make amends to you on behalf of Philip?”

Thump!

Desmond was startled. He frowned with panic in his eyes as he said, “Third Madam, how could I accept this?”

Desmond had mixed feelings.

He could not allow the third madam to make amends to him on behalf of Philip!

At the thought of the figure behind the Third Madam, Desmond panicked!

Chapter 2046
When Philip saw this scene from the side, he frowned and asked, “Uncle Horace, what exactly is third mother’s background? Why is Desmond so afraid of her?”

Horace smiled and said, “Phil, I don’t blame you for not knowing your third mother’s identity. All I can tell you is that your third mother’s last name is Tsar.”

Her last name was Tsar?

Suddenly, Philip trembled and asked, “Could it be that third mother is…”

Horace nodded and said, “You guessed it right. Who else in this country would dare to use this last name? She’s the imperial preceptor’s younger sister, Aria Tsar.”

The imperial preceptor’s younger sister?

Philip gasped. In the past, it was always his identity that made others gasp. Today, it was his third mother’s identity that made him gasp.

His third mother was actually the imperial preceptor’s younger sister!

No wonder Desmond dared not do anything to her.

Chapter 2047
Here, Desmond’s forehead was full of cold sweat. He looked at the third madam standing in front of him without daring to say a word.

“Grand Uncle Desmond, what do you think?”

Aria looked calm and spoke lightly, making others unable to show the slightest disrespect.

Desmond wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead. After thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and replied, “I shall follow your wishes.”

Aria smiled and nodded slightly before turning to wade, asking, “Uncle Wade, do you have anything to discuss?”

Wade was also flustered now. He lowered his head and glanced at Desmond in bewilderment before he shook his head, saying, “No.”

Aria smiled lightly and turned to christian, who was standing in the memorial hall. She said, “Chieftain, do you have anything else to say now?”

Christian narrowed his eyes, looked at Aria coldly, and said, “Aria Tsar, even if you’re the imperial preceptor’s younger sister and the third madam of the Clarke family, you have no right to intervene in the affairs of the branch family!”

Christian was very unhappy at the moment!

How dare the imperial preceptor’s sister do this?

Chapter 2048
What would happen to his dignity as the chieftain of the branch family?

What about his self-respect?

Aria laughed lightly and twirled the rosary in her hands while saying, “In that case, what explanation do you want?”

Christian waved his hand and said, “Tell him to release all the detained members of the branch family. Otherwise, no one can take a step out of this memorial hall today!”

Upon hearing this, Aria furrowed her shapely eyebrows, glanced sideways at Philip, and asked, “Phil, are you detaining members of the branch family?”

Philip smiled and said, “Yes, I am.”

Aria shook her head with a hint of reprimand in her eyes and said, “stop fooling around and release them.”

Philip was just about to refuse when horace pulled his arm and said, “Let them go. You have caused enough trouble today. If this goes on, I’m afraid things will escalate further.”

Philip frowned upon hearing this. He said to christian, “I can let them go, but uncle christian, let me ask you. The people of the branch family have repeatedly disrespected me and bullied my wife and children. How do we settle this score?”

Chapter 2049
The branch family’s memorial hall quickly fell silent at this question.

Everyone’s eyes focused on Philip who asked that question.

This kid was really too cocky!

He actually dared to make use of the third madam’s identity and status to demand an explanation from the chieftain!

He was playing with fire!

With cold eyes, Wade and Desmond turned to Philip and shouted gravely, “Insolent boy! The branch family has given up pursuing your accountability, yet you still dare to say such arrogant words and ask the branch family to give you an explanation?”

“That’s right! You simply have no respect for your elders and hold no regard for the chieftain’s prestige!”

“Chieftain, just look at this impudent child. How dare he say such things? I think we shouldn’t let him off so easily!”

All of a sudden, everyone rallied!

On the other hand, Philip was calm. From his eyes, it could be seen that he was determined to cause a fuss!

Since his third mother was here, what else did he have to worry about?

Aria looked at Philip in surprise and said softly, “Phil, don’t be rude! Since the branch family will not hold you accountable, you shouldn’t dwell on this any further. After all, we’re a family. We can sit and discuss anything. Where appropriate, let them go or apologize if necessary. Don’t cause any more trouble.”

Philip looked at Aria, thought about it, and finally said unrelentingly, “Third Mother, this matter can’t be resolved so easily. I only have one stance today. Either they give me an explanation or take me down today.”

As soon as he said that, Christian, who was standing in the memorial hall, suddenly sneered and said, “Okay, as expected of my eldest brother’s son. You certainly are bold and courageous! Let’s see what storms you can cause in the branch family today! If you want to rely on your third mother’s identity and status to suppress me, you’re still too young. Even the Imperial Preceptor has to show me some respect. What’s more, he doesn’t have the right to interfere in this matter either. Don’t you think so, Third Madam?”

Aria’s face darkened as she replied, “Christian, I hope you can understand that I’m standing here not on behalf of my brother but of the main Clarke family and the four madams of the Clarke family.”

Christian said with a smile, “Very well. Since this is the common understanding between the four madams, I won’t be too harsh and calculative. I only have one request now, which is for him to release my people and make apologies!”

When Philip heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, “Christian, are you using your position as chieftain of the branch family to suppress me? Well then, I’ll make things clear to you too. Today, I also have only one request. I can release them, but these people from your branch family must apologize to me and my wife in person. Otherwise, I’ll never let them go!”

“Insolence!”

Christian shouted angrily and swung the disciplinary cane in his hand.

Snap!

With a crisp sound, it hit the floor.

The floor tiles shattered apart!

A deep crack appeared on the ground!

At this moment, everyone in the memorial hall fell to their knees!

The chieftain was angry!

Philip naturally noticed that Christian was furious.

At the scene, only Philip, Horace, Aria, the Griffin Army, and the main family’s followers did not kneel. The rest of the people were kneeling on the floor.

This scene really made people a little breathless!

However, Philip’s expression remained calm. His eyes were firm with no signs of relenting.

Chapter 2050
Aria frowned, turned to Philip, and said, “That’s enough! Stop fooling around. Otherwise, your father will definitely chastise you when he comes back!”

“Third Mother, I know what I’m doing. I’m grateful that you came to rescue me, but there are some things that I can’t give in to! The branch family has gone too far this time! Today, either I die or the branch family must apologize!”

Philip said sternly with a burst of anger in his eyes.

At this moment, Aria looked at Philip’s resolute face and that stubborn temper. She suddenly felt a little lost.

This child had the same temper as his father back then.

Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

Then, so be it.

Aria turned around and looked at the angry Christian. She said, “Christian Clarke, as the third madam of the main family, I’m now warning you not to cross the line recklessly! He’s the eldest young master of my main family, and even more so, the heir. You’re not qualified to use the family discipline on him!”

Hehe.

Christian scoffed. “Third Madam, I never asked whether I’m qualified to use the family discipline on him. If I want to do it, it’s done. Even if this matter ends up going to Roger, so what?”

At this moment, Christian displayed his prestige as the chieftain of the branch family to the fullest!

As the chieftain of the branch family, he would do as he pleased!

He even paid no heed to Roger Clarke!

Hearing this, Aria’s eyes flashed with a hint of sternness. Even her calm and unruffled heart was stirred!

She said coldly, “In that case, I’ll use my identity as the younger sister of the Imperial Preceptor to suppress you!”

Christian smiled fearlessly and said, “Third Madam, as I said, no matter how great the Imperial Preceptor is, he’s just the Imperial Preceptor. He has no right to interfere in the Clarke family’s affairs! After you married into the Clarke family and became the third madam of the Clarke family, you no longer have the status of being the Imperial Preceptor’s sister!”

“Christian Clarke, you have wild ambitions, indeed! You don’t even have any regard for the patriarch. What exactly does the branch family want?”

Aria was furious as she pointed and chastised.

Christian laughed as he stepped out of the memorial hall and said, “Aria Tsar, I advise you not to mislead yourself!”

“What? Do you dare to kill me?”

At this moment, Aria also exuded her aura as the Imperial Preceptor’s sister!

In an instant, her cold and aloof demeanor was replaced by the temperament of a heroine!

It seemed that the person standing in front of everyone was not a pious and religious woman but an empress who ruled over the kingdom!

The two of them were about burst into sparks!

At this moment, Horace walked out silently from behind, clasped his hands in front of his belly, and said with a laugh, “Christian, you’re very arrogant, indeed. Have you forgotten all about me?”

Christian frowned, glanced at Horace, and said, “You’re not qualified to talk to me yet!”

Haha!

Horace laughed and said, “Very well, Christian. You’re really getting out of hand. No wonder Roger has always been worried about your branch family. With you around, the branch family will rebel sooner or later!”

“Horace Clarke, don’t try to falsely accuse me at this time. As chieftain of the branch family, do you think you can convict me with just a few words? I have people in the law enforcement hall too! Or perhaps you want to revoke my position as the chieftain as well?”

Christian sneered and added, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid you are not qualified enough!”

This time, Horace smiled and said, “I’m not qualified? Well then, let me see if this is enough to qualify!”

After saying that, Horace took out a purple and gold token from his pocket.

Chapter 2051
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the purple-gold token reflected a dazzling cold light.

The moment this token was taken out, Christian, who was standing at the entrance of the memorial hall, widened his eyes as his breathing became rapid.

After that, without another word, he knelt on the ground and said, “Greetings to the grand elder.”
