Chapter 113 Accepting Punishment

Ancestral hall.

Two entrances, big and small, located within the Baldwin's mansion grounds, at the highest point of the terrain.

The high beams were painted with gold paint every year. Above the shrine, there were twin dragons playing with a pearl, symbolizing the status and power of the family.

As long as Caden spoke...

"I didn't go." Caden said coldly.

Upon hearing the words, Xander forcefully slammed the altar, causing the atmosphere in the entire temple to become tense.

The father and son exchanged a glance, and Xander's eye twitched twice in anger before he turned around.

He took three incense sticks from the table and said sternly, "Since that's the case, you should also know the consequences of doing something wrong." "Um."
