Darren had long disliked Bryant, whom Pierre favored and had decided to make the successor just because Bryant was a year older. Pierre put a lot of effort into grooming Bryant and spent a large part of the family’s resources on him.
What about me? I’m so much wiser, smarter, and more competent than Bryant. But I have to give in to him all the time, and even Bryant’s wastrel son bossed me around all the time.
Why?!
Darren had been feeling indignant for a long time.
Liam had gotten into trouble and dragged the entire family down with him, forcing them to clean up his mess. To make matters worse, Pierre even reprimanded him and told him not to implicate the Wallaces when he wasn’t the one who had caused all this trouble!
Hearing Darren’s furious rant, Bryant couldn’t sit still anymore. He stood up and cursed at him, “Liam is my son, and now that he’s been killed, I’m much more devastated than anyone else! Instead of thinking about how to avenge your nephew and restore the pride of the Wallaces, all you do is get funny ideas!
“Is there anything wrong with what Dad said? What’s the point of complaining and losing your temper? I went all the way to the Kingstons to hire Henry Salve to help us. Do you know how much time, effort, and energy I put into this?! I never once complained! If you’re so indignant and dissatisfied, go find an elite expert yourself!”
After venting his anger, Bryant stared at Darren furiously to see what he had to say.
Boiling with fury, Darren naturally wanted to retort.
Smack!
Pierre slammed his hand against the table and barked in exasperation, “Bastards! Now’s not the time for you two to get into an argument! So many of our family members are watching. Aren’t you ashamed at all?!”
Pierre’s words made them both fall silent in embarrassment.
“Darren, Liam is your nephew, and now that he’s been killed, we’re all grief-stricken. As his uncle, you shouldn’t be saying such upsetting things,” Pierre said to Darren.
Darren immediately argued, “Dad, that’s not what I meant. I’m naturally upset about Liam’s death! I’m just a little too anxious. After all, we still haven’t received any updates from those underlings Henry Salve sent, and I was just getting impatient. That’s why I wanted him to personally go out and nab Lucas Gray so that we can avenge Liam!”
Pierre nodded. “I know you’re just worried, but what you just said could possibly cause trouble for the Wallaces. They were also very hurtful to your brother, so you must never say such things again!
“You two are my only sons, and I hope that you can work together to bring the Wallaces glory!”
Then Pierre turned to Bryant. “Bryant, you’re the older brother, so don’t take to heart what Darren just said out of anxiousness, despite his words being harsh. Now, what we have to do is stand together to kill Lucas Gray and avenge Liam!”
Bryant said magnanimously with reddened eyes, “Dad, you’re right. I will absolutely remember everything you say. After all, Darren is my younger brother. I won’t hold it against him.”
Seeing that his sons had made up with each other, Pierre smiled again and ignored the tacit exchange through the ambiguous gazes in their eyes when they made eye contact.
“Who’s there?!”
Suddenly, an unusual clamor came from outside the villa entrance.
Immediately afterward, the loud and clear sounds of things falling came.
Their faces covered in shock and suspicion, the Wallaces in the hall immediately stood up one after another.
Pierre immediately stood up and bellowed at the door, “What’s happening outside?”
Soon, a security guard walked over and said with a panicked expression, “Bad news! Mr. Wallace, a man suddenly barged in and headed straight to Henry Salve’s villa. He even kicked the door of the villa open! We couldn’t stop him!”
“What?!” Pierre’s expression drastically changed while the other Wallaces were astounded too.
Henry was an elite expert the Kingstons had sent, and ordinary people couldn’t get close to him. Besides, he was now a distinguished guest of the Wallaces and was in a foul mood because of his apprentice’s death.
Which audacious person was so brazen that he charged into Henry’s villa?
“Bastard, this is outrageous! How dare he barge into Henry’s villa? He must be tired of living!” Pierre hollered in exasperation.
But since the matter occurred in the Wallaces’ manor, they would have to take a look at the situation as the hosts and placate Henry at the same time.
In order to show their respect for Henry, the expert working for the Kingstons, the Wallaces had specifically arranged for Henry to stay in the villa beside Pierre’s, which was in the middle of the manor.
As soon as Pierre led the Wallaces out of the villa, they saw an enormous hole because the thick alloy door had already gone missing, revealing the spacious hall within.
Henry was standing still with a gloomy expression, and there was blood flowing profusely out of a wound on his shiny bald head.
Everyone was astonished because Henry, who was strong, domineering, invincible, and unbeatable, had suffered an injury for the first time!
Sensing the terrifying aura exuding from Henry’s body, all the Wallaces couldn’t help shivering, and they involuntarily took a few steps back. The timid ones even had their hearts pound rapidly and their legs turn limp, almost losing their balance out of fear.
Everyone could tell that Henry was enraged, even livid!
But there was only one person facing Henry. He was standing still at the villa entrance with his back to the Wallaces.
He was tall, lanky, and exuding an overwhelming and formidable aura like a sharp sword!
