Yaraโs third uncle, Lennon Wright, followed up coldly, saying, โAndrew, who the hell do you think you are? The Wright family is one of the Five Apex Families, the leading family in Blumedale. Youโre just some nobody! Kevin may have tolerated you before, but now? Thereโs no place for you here!โ
Right now, aside from Yara, the most powerful members of the Wrights were Kevinโs two brothers.
Though the two constantly schemed against each other in secret, Andrewโs sudden appearance made them instantly join forces. Their intent was clearโthey absolutely would not tolerate Andrew backing Yaraโs rise to power.
Andrew sat down casually and gave a cold smirk. โThe Wrights are indeed one of the Five Apex Families, and sure, only people with real weight should be sitting in this hall. Perfect, because I honestly think thereโs nothing wrong with me sitting right here.โ
Isaac narrowed his eyes, a dark glint flashing through them, โAndrew, just because youโve got a tiny bit of history with our family, donโt think you can act like a big shot here.
โYou want me to prove a point? With just one word, Iโll have you dragged out of the Wright estate right now!โ
Andrew looked at him calmly. โGo ahead. Try me.โ
Isaac exploded. โTora! Throw him out! Now!โ
Lennon joined in immediately. โBeat the hell out of him! Kevin used to show you respect back in the day, but now we sure as hell wonโt treat you like you matter!โ
Tora remained motionless, standing stiffly in place with a tense expression on his face.
Isaac frowned and looked over at him, asking, โTora, whatโs wrong with you?โ
Tora looked up toward the ceiling and said, โIโm sorry, Mr. Isaac, but I canโt do that. Mr. Lloyd didnโt just save my lifeโheโs also the sworn brother of Mr. Wright Senior. Throwing him out is something I dare not and cannot do!โ
Isaac was incensed. โTora, are you out of your damn mind? This guy shows up at our house at a time like this? Heโs obviously up to no good.โ
Tora snorted. โWhatever Mr. Lloydโs intentions are, I donโt care! My duty is to protect the Wrights and follow the family headโs orders! Mr. Isaac, youโre not the head of the Wright family yet, so ordering me around seems a bit out of line, donโt you think?โ
Isaac froze, clenching his jaw, completely speechless.
Lennon jumped in to take a jab. โIsaac, look at you getting all bossy just because Kevinโs not around. Already barking orders at the guards? Whatโs the dealโdecided youโre the new head of the family?โ
Isaacโs eye twitched as he quickly replied, โLennon, donโt try to paint me like that! As long as Kevin hasnโt officially stepped down, what he says still stands. Anyone who oversteps their bounds? Thatโs a serious offense against the Wright family.โ
Andrew sneered silently. Kevinโs two brothers were truly hypocritical beyond belief. They were dying to become the family head themselves, yet they just had to put on an actโthe only way to describe them was absolutely shameless.
Andrew announced dramatically, โKevin, your family head, has already met his end! I only came to your house for one purposeโto deliver his final words!โ
He cleared his throat and began his performance once again. Every time he came to the Wright estate, he had to put on quite a show.
The moment those words left his mouth, the entire hall with over 100 family members fell into dead silence.
โWhat? Kevin actually died?โ
โNo wayโฆ Are you telling me something this amazing really happened?โ
A woman actually laughed out loud. โI knew it! That bastard finally croaked. No oneโs going to stop me from doing whatever the hell I want now!โ
Another sobbed. โOh noโฆ Kevin, how could you just leave us like this? Even if you had to die, couldnโt you at least leave a note naming your successor first?โ
The reactions were all over the place, but what left Andrew completely speechless was that about 90% of the people were showing expressions of pure joy and excitement.
This was especially true for Kevinโs two dear brothers, his children, and his several mistresses. They were so happy and thrilled that they could not even hide it, acting like it was Christmas morning.
Andrew had expected that Kevin would not be well-liked among the Wrights. However, he never imagined Kevin being despised to such an extreme degree. This was worse than even the most tyrannical rulers in ancient history, who faced complete betrayal from their subjects.
Lennon coughed and demanded loudly, โAndrew, our family head was incredibly skilled in martial arts and had the Wright familyโs elite security team with him. Tell us, how did he die? Did you kill him?โ
Andrew scoffed, knowing full well that some people in the Wrights would not miss this golden opportunity to frame him.
โYouโre Kevinโs third brother, right?โ he asked seemingly out of nowhere.
Lennon snorted coldly and replied with pride, โThatโs right. Iโm in charge of all the familyโs business operationsโฆโ
Andrew impatiently interrupted, โI only need to know who you are. I couldnโt care less about what you do in the Wright family! But while Iโm here, Iโve got one thing to say to you.โ
