It was a rather amusing scene.

Canon burst out laughing and looked at Philip with pity in his eyes. "Oh Phil, you poor thing. Even your own mother-in-law doesn't acknowledge you. What happened to your old spark and pride? Someone like you is not qualified to inherit the main family's fortunes!"

"Not qualified, you say?"

Philip's head was slightly lowered as he looked at Wynn on the couch. "True, I was not qualified to say that the past few years, but.....”

All of a sudden, he looked up at Canon with wilful eyes and said angrily, "Mere mites like you will never understand what I truly possess! You will never have the qualifications I do! The main family will always reign above the branches!"

Rage flaring in his eyes, Philip made the first move, going so quickly that Canon never even saw how he did it!

Canon's gaze shifted. He never thought Philip would be such a good fighter!

But how was that possible?

Canon was stunned as he watched Philip get rid of all the bodyguards he had brought along.

Those men were the best of the best among the family's trainees. Each of them could fight ten men on their own!

Now, however, they were each taken down with a single kick, as feeble and helpless as straw men!

Canon's face was as white as a sheet. He stood there, trembling, too afraid to say a word or even breathe too loudly.

After all, he had just witnessed Philip knocking down the last guard with his own two eyes!

All of the bodyguards laid out on the floor were rendered completely out of action now!

"You... How can you fight like that? Who are you?!"

Canon freaked out, taking several steps back. He looked at Philip in sheer disbelief.

How could this be?

Philip had been chased out of the family and did nothing worthwhile in the past three years. Why was he suddenly such a terrifying fighter?!

"I'm your cousin, Philip Clarke!"

Philip said coldly, taking a few steps toward Canon, who was so scared that his entire body shook.

Finally, Canon wet himself out of fear, falling flat onto his backside. He kept trying to scuttle back and away from Philip, his breathing quick and jagged as he whined, "W-What do you want? I'm the sixth young master and heir to the Clarke branch family, you can't... you can't touch me!"

"The sixth young master?"

Philip scoffed, his eyes icy. "So you do remember that you're just the sixth young master? What right do you have to challenge me on my turf? What right do you have to hit my wife and daughter? You're forcing me to kill you here!"

Bam!

Philip lashed out his foot and kicked Canon right in the chest!

Pshh!

A spray of blood erupted from Canon's mouth. He felt like he had broken a few ribs, that piercing pain so intense he could barely catch his breath!

"Have you forgotten the family rules? What should you do when you meet an heir from the main family, huh?!"

Philip roared!

Canon held his chest, blood leaking from the corners of his mouth and he laughed coldly.

"Haha, do you really think I'm scared of you? Look outside, look who's out there!"

Canon had long since ordered his personal bodyguard to stand by outside. The man had stayed with him since childhood!

As he looked at the door and at the figure appearing from the shadows, his lips spread into a bloodthirsty grin. He howled at Philip, "No matter how good you are, Philip, even if you did manage to take everyone else I brought, do you really think you can defeat him?!"

Canon's heart grew colder and more ruthless. Looking at the shadow approaching them, he yelled, "Kill his wife and daughter!"

However!

The shadow Canon was looking at did not move. He was dragging someone else like a ragdoll behind him!

Crash!

The figure at the doorway threw a limp body toward Canon, sending it rolling on the ground lifelessly!

Canon's eyes widened in shock. The man that had been thrown into the room, his limbs all broken and useless, was none other than his personal bodyguard!

N-No way!

Canon looked up abruptly and finally saw that the shadow was not his subordinate at all. It was a handsome man he did not know.

"Young Master, this guy had been hiding in the shadows for a while now, so I just got rid of him while I was out there."

Rick said calmly. His brow was deeply furrowed as he looked around the room.

Philip never once looked behind him, his cold eyes still fixed on Canon. "Who told you to come here?!"

"What, are you saying you have the guts to kill me? The first family rule is that members of the family must not kill each other. If you dare to take my life, you will definitely be kicked out of the main family forever! You will no longer be their heir, and they'll even remove your name from the family tree! You will be reduced to nothing!"

Canon threw his head back and laughed even as he coughed blood.

The audacity of it all!

He behaved so arrogantly even with the threat of death looming over his head.

Philip's eyes gradually grew colder as he stared at Canon. "Are you sure I won't kill you?!"
