It is one thing to be shocked, but have you ever been in a position where you just don't know how you feel? In that moment where you just find yourself swarmed up by an ocean of emotions. Yes, that moment when you don't know if you should be shocked or angry, or just lost. You just don't know at all!That is exactly where we are as the courtroom is suddenly filled with an ocean of mixed emotions. And what's worse? Everywhere is also now as still as a graveyard, and even the faintest heartbeat can be heard loud and clear as if it is connected to a loudspeaker when there's obviously nothing of the sort!The other members of the Hutton family standing behind the elders and Supreme Doctor Hong, have their hands over their mouths and are panting frantically.They don't know how they feel at all. Like, they have no single idea whatsoever! And this is clearly because they can't particularly claim that they're shocked because what they're feeling goes well beyond that. They just don't have t
After settling matters in Aurora, Michael and Chad had been about to get into the cars they came down to the restaurant with so they can drive down to where the Hutton private jets are but before they can even do that, Chad's phone suddenly began ringing.Turned out that while the elders and Supreme Doctor Hong were arguing with Mason, a member of the family took it upon himself to call Chad and inform him of what was going on in the family as he couldn't directly reach Michael, who was who he'd initially intended to call. But then contacting Chad was still a good thing so he didn't feel that bad. Meanwhile, Chad couldn't believe it when he did! Hah! How could he?The time was already 8 p.m., how could he believe that instead of sleeping, Mason was trying to snatch Michael's position away from him? Besides, Mason was Michael's sweet, loving brother, he didn't believe he could do such a thing!It had to take the young man making a short video and sending it to him for him to believe an
Michael's face instantly turns gloomy and the energy in his fists extinguishes. But it still doesn't stop him from feeling a surge of rage course through his veins. Hah! He can't believe his brother called the twelve brothers of doom on him! How heartless!The elders and the rest of the Huttons are likewise trembling with bitter expressions on their faces! They are clearly terrified!The twelve brothers of doom, as their names imply, are bringers of doom! Over here, in Washington, D.C., they are one of those formidable forces no one dares to provoke, let alone cross! Right from the very beginning, they have never served any family, they are free birds and only take up paid jobs. And once they are done with it, they be on their way and get on with their lives. It is safe to refer to them as rippers. This is because they only appear in sight only when they've been sent on a mission, and they kill viciously, leaving the corpses of their victims decapitated! If that isn't enough, no one
Supreme Doctor Hong's white shirt is nearly bathed in blood, as is a small portion of the floor he is standing on. He is currently as pale as a sheet and is gagging hysterically as if he is on the very brink of death. But even though he isn't right now, he is losing a lot of blood, and it might not be so long before he is. If there is anything he requires right now, it is medical attention.But Mason doesn't seem to care. And the worst part is he is still pressing his sharp-tongued dagger into the wounded spot. It's more like he's daring Supreme Doctor Hong to speak again if he has the guts and watch him deepen his wound.How ruthless and heartless!The raw acidic scent of Supreme Doctor Hong's blood is over the air and everyone except Mason has a sullen expression on their respective faces. Even the twelve brothers of doom and their allies are not left out. They feel nothing but sorry for the old man and wish they could dart to Mason and rescue him from his vicious clutches.It migh
"Please don't make this any harder than it already is for me!" Michael gazes at the elders and Chad and bawls with a bitter smile on his scrunched-up face, quite displeased that they chose to do this. "You know I wouldn't choose to forsake you if there was another way out!""But there is," a young man among the other members of the family rises from his knees, steps into the limelight, and retorts mischievously.Michael sways his gaze to him, his brow furrowed, and asks curtly, "And what is that if I may ask?""Uhm," the young man scratches his hair nervously, unsure how to express himself, and shifts his eyes to Supreme Doctor Hong. And that's all it takes for everyone to figure out what he's up to."What? You can't be serious!" Michael gasps and a dark glint flashes in his eyes! Hah! How heartless of this young man to expect him to let Mason kill Supreme Doctor Hong!Yes, he might be doing it for him, but he is still asking him to allow someone to be killed so cold-bloodedly! Is the
Mason looks down at Damien who just spoke and his face turns sullen. These folks are actually dead serious about dying instead of them proclaiming him Patriarch! Ah! Seems they are bent on making things difficult for him!This is because, right from the very beginning, it has always been the elders who proclaim one a Patriarch and bless him! There are no two ways about it! From what he can see, it appears they are doing this because they know without them, there would be no way in hell he would become the Patriarch! They certainly want to shatter his dreams when he has already succeeded in getting Michael to renounce his position!He grits his teeth in obvious rage but suddenly smiles the next second as something dawns on him! That is, he still holds Supreme Doctor Hong captive! So what if Damien and the rest don't want to do as he wants, he can still force Supreme Doctor Hong to do it! Didn't the old man claim to be a member of this family? Now, he sure has a part to play!"Don't
"Oh wow! That never crossed my mind at all! Ah! To be honest, he is truly amazing, and sure knows how to play his cards expertly! It's no wonder he's the Patriarch of this great family and the wealthiest man on the planet!" The brother of doom exclaims with a wide grin at his brother's explanation whilst also staring admiringly at Micheal!"Trash! You keep spitting so much trash so proudly and with your full chest! Heh, amazing my foot! Shut up if you don't have anything relevant to say! Hah!" Not being able to keep his emotions together, Mason lashes out at the brother of doom so barbarously, his fists clenched.Things suddenly took a drastic turn and are no longer going as he wished, yet the brothers of doom, who caused it all in the first place, have the impudence to still rub salt in his wound by praising his brother!He'd contacted them to come help him become Patriarch, but reaching here, they chose to turn against him just because, as they made it seem, Michael made them a bette
Michael smiles bitterly. Supreme Doctor Hong has been through a lot at Mason's hands in a matter of minutes, and right now he looks like he is at his breaking point.He wouldn't be surprised if the old man chooses to do as Mason wants just so he could keep his life. Actually, he wouldn't take it against him or even blame him.This is because if he was in his shoes, he would do the same. Better to yield in this kinda situation than keep being stubborn and end up dying in such a cruel manner."ptooey!" However, before he can even finish thinking, Supreme Doctor Hong, to his and everyone else's amazement, spits on Mason's face and barks with bloodshot eyes, "A ruthless and heartless man like you doesn't deserve to go ten meters near that golden chair, let alone sit on it! Even if Zeus was right here, begging me to proclaim you Patriarch, I wouldn't dare, so give up! "You want to kill me, right? You can go ahead! All I know is that a second after I do, you would join me as well! Go on! Ki
