Slap!
Unfortunately, Roy slapped Neil hard across the face," Who are you yelling at? Can't you see Fane was joking? II
"Dad, he..."
Neil was fueled with anger. He wanted to tear Fane into pieces badly.
Roy glared at him fiercely. Then, he turned around and cupped his hands as he said, "Brother Fane, you're such a humorous guy. I'll make a move first, and sorry for disturbing you!"
"See you again!"
Fane said calmly.
Soon after, the people from the Hugo family drove away.
Neil felt aggrieved and insulted on his way back.
When they finally arrived at the villa's yard, Neil could no longer hold back himself, "Dad, why did you stay silent when he treated you that way? We are a second-class aristocratic family, how can you let a soldier bully us like that? I can't accept it!"
It was only then that Roy turned around and looked at his son. He sighed with emotions,
" Hah, it's not because I'm timid, I'm doing it for the sake of our whole family. We have come a long way from being an ordinary family of small businessmen t o becoming who we are today in the Middle Province. I t wasn't easy at all! I've seen many influential families get destroyed just because they offended someone who they shouldn't offend."
He paused for a moment before he continued saying," Moreover, not long ago, I heard someone from a first-class aristocratic family in the next town got removed from the list after offending a retired King of War. The master and several powerful members of the family were all killed. Only the servants got away!"
