Lily had an extremely darkened facial expression. It was natural for the Woods family members to hope for Fane to return and lead the family after they learned about his situation. They hoped that he would be the Woods family's heir.
"Haha... This doesn't seem right. Although Young Master Fane is the master’s son, we're all considered Woods family members. The position of family master's heir is very important and we cannot treat i t lightly!" Another young man of the Woods family hugged both hands in front of his chest and laughed coldly.
"Yes, the position of an heir cannot be decided so hastily. My son is also a member of the Woods family and carries the Woods family bloodline. He is also very
talented. As people in general honor the strong, the heir should be chosen based on the talents of the person!" The young man's father was one of the elders who immediately stood forward to support his son.
At this moment, another elder of the Woods family thought about it and said, "Master, Young Master Lance was considered as the Woods family's most talented genius. We were well-convinced when he was the successor of the master's position. The younger members were also utterly convinced. However, Young Master Fane is a child you had with an outsider and had only just returned from the outside world. Many people would be dissatisfied if he could become the heir!"
Lily was secretly happy when she heard this and immediately said, "In my opinion, we should send more people to search for my son, Lance. He can continue to be the heir after he returns. This is the only way everybody would be convinced, am I right?"
"Let's not talk about this first. Young
Master Fane killed our Ninth Patronum as soon as he returned. We can’t let this go without a legitimate reason, am I right?" The Third Elder stood up and looked at Fane angrily while saying. "Young man, the friends you brought with you are really strong. However, how can you be so ruthless? It’s clearly a misunderstanding a s the Ninth Patronum didn't know that you are the master's son and thought that you were barging in with force. Why did you kill him when you could have just injured him?"
The Third Elder paused before continuing," Humph, regardless, the Ninth Patronum's actions were not enough to deserve death, right?"
The First Elder immediately stood forward and spoke on behalf of Fane, "Haha... Third Elder, I believe you understand that fists have no eyes and it could hit anywhere in a fight. After all, Fane and the others said that they did not barge in. How can you blame it on Fane when the Ninth Patronum made the first move? Would you stand there and let someone kill you and make their wish come true?"
He turned around after he spoke and said t o the young people guarding the door previously. ‘Tell us what actually happened just now."
The young people immediately stood forward. ‘The Ninth Patronum insisted that Fane and the others were trying to barge in and started the fight first!”
“Yes, we all saw what happened with our own eyes. Young Master Fane said that he would wait here for Titus and the elders but the Ninth patronurn seemed to be in a hurry. He pulled out his sword and attacked Fane. Fane's friend killed the Ninth Patronum as he could not bear the sight of what was going on!"
Several young men of the Woods family stood forward and spoke on behalf of Fane.
They had a clear look of the situation just now and they could feel that there was something wrong with the Ninth Patronum. He seemed frightened of Fane meeting the master.
"Did you hear what they said? Third Elder, Madam, Fane's friend was forced to take action. Apart from that, I wonder why the Ninth Patronum is in such a hurry to make the first move without understanding the situation?" The First Elder smiled coldly and looked at the Third Elder questionably.
"Never mind, then. Since Fane really is Nash's son, let's just let this go. The Ninth Patronum had gotten what he asked for!” Lily immediately waved her hand as she was afraid of the plot between the Ninth Patronum and others to come to light.
"Don’t move!"
