While Jean taunted the guards, he repeatedly turned around to show off to his cousins.

"C'mon! Shoot me if you have the balls!"

Jean was drunk and fearless right now, pointing to his head as he challenged the guards.

The captain in charge had already raised his gun and was looking through his scope. "We received orders to remove Gerard Clarke's family branch from Arcadia. Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your head! If you disobey, we will shoot to kill!"

Shoot to kill?!

His declaration made the young branch family heirs and heiresses turn pale.

Jean was taken aback too, but then he laughed wildly. "Hey hey hey, have those helmets given you guys concussions or something? The nerve of you to say something like that! You want to banish our family?"

"Yeah, what a joke! Know your place, how dare you address your masters like that!"

"You're just a pack of guard dogs, remember that!"

"Notify the branch family guards, chase them out of here!"

The young masters and ladies began to riot.

Jean was used to having his way, so he sauntered up to the armed guards and barked at them, "Let's see you try to chase me out today! Go on! Shoot!"

His angry roar sent his peers' hearts ablaze!

"Wow, Master Jean, you're amazing!"

"I love you, Master Jean! I want your babehs!"

"Jean, Jean, Jean!"

The beautiful young models who were brought onto the island whooped and cheered, waving their fair slender arms.

Bam!

All of a sudden!

There was the bang of a gun!

The rioting masses instantly fell silent!

Bathump!

As they watched, Jean fell onto his back, his rancor from earlier silenced forever!

There was a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead, and his eyes stared blankly into the sky.

The young and handsome Master Jean did not even know why he died.

"Ah!"

Everyone immediately panicked and scattered to the winds!

These young sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law of the branch family had never before seen the main family's armed guards shoot dead a branch family young master like that! "Proceed according to orders. Banish them all, and any who resist will be killed on the spot!"

The next moment, the armed guards all surged forward and pressed their targets onto the ground!

The same scene repeated itself countless times in this area, throughout the night.

Within half an hour, the hundred or so of Clarke's men had gathered all of Gerard's descendants from the outskirts to a small plaza at the center of the area!

Just then, there were several armed helicopters hovering in the air above the plaza, their floodlights on and shining down on the plaza!

The roar of the motors and the gusts of wind they blew about made it feel as though they were brewing an actual storm on these grounds.

At the same time, in Gerard's branch family's ancestral hall!

"What?! Master Philip ordered the banishment of our entire branch?!"

An old man with a cane in the hall flew into a rage, roaring, "That foolish rascal! How dare he turn on his own family! Ridiculous, how utterly absurd! Mobilize the guards right now! If anyone dares to touch us, it'll be an all-out war!"

The old man was Graham Clarke, Gerard's oldest brother and a family leader from the same generation!

"That measly brat, does he think our generation is powerless against him?!"

Graham was furious, slamming his cane onto the brick floor!

Just then, a servant ran into the hall in a hurry, falling onto his knees and wailing, "Old Master, Old Master! This is bad, what a tragedy! Master Jean, he..."

"What? What happened to Jean?"

Graham's heart shook. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Master Jean was shot dead!"

The servant sobbed, rubbing away his tears.

"What?!"

Graham was shocked. He leaped out of his armchair, his eyes bright with an endless rage as he roared, "Philip, that foolish boy! The damage he has done to our family's future! Curse him! Curse him to hell! "Men, gather all the power our generation has and get out there! I want you to storm the main family and demand an explanation!

"I won't rest until I've killed that useless boy! I need to avenge my dear grandson Jean!"
