Mason froze in shock. At the far end of the Ulrich familyโs main hall, someone was already sitting in his exclusive family headโs chair.
Ryder, his beloved eldest son, was now sitting there with his legs crossed, chin propped up, watching his arrival.
Masonโs voice cracked with rage. โYou bastard, what are you doing? Get your ass up right now. Do you really think youโre qualified to sit there?โ
This outburst showed just how furious he had become. He rushed over to Ryder, ready to jab his finger right at his sonโs nose. Ryder stood up and slapped Mason twice across the face without warning, the sound echoing in the hall. The blows were so fierce that Mason fell to the floor, completely stunned.
โYou hit me? You son of a bitch, you actually hit me! Someone get in here! I want this nut crippled!โ
Mason scrambled to his feet, eyes bloodshot as he roared in fury. Yet, despite his screaming, no one from the Ulrich family moved to help him.
Dozens of Ulrich family members had gathered in the hall. The core members, including Masonโs younger brothers and uncles, had all quietly stepped over to stand behind Ryder.
โMr. Ryder, congratulations on being the new head of the family!โ
They all bowed in unison, pledging their loyalty to Ryder. Mason was stunned, completely blanking out.
โIโm your family head! Iโm the one in charge here! What the hell did this bastard ever do to deserve that title?โ
One of the Ulrichs said coldly, โSorry, but starting today, Ryder is the new head of the Ulrich family. Mason, your title has been officially revoked. Weโll be launching a full investigation into you. You canโt dodge your responsibility for Cillianโs death.โ
Mason roared, โBullshit! You dare turn on me? Do you all have a death wish?โ
Ryder sneered, โDad, are you really still that blind to the situation? Donโt blame me for being ruthless. Iโm just doing what you taught meโbeing cold-blooded and decisive. In fact, we owe a big thanks to Mr. Lloyd for helping us bring justice back to the Ulrich family.โ
He stood up and jogged over to the entrance, respectfully welcoming Andrew and his group into the hall.
Mason was dumbfounded, staring in disbelief. โAndrew, itโs you again! You planned all this, didnโt you?!โ
He spun around like a madman and screamed at Andrew.
However, Andrew simply shrugged with a smile. โMason, donโt blame this on me. This is the Ulrich familyโs internal matter. I wouldnโt dare interfere.โ
The entire family turned to Mason, their voices booming in unison.
โMason, you dog! Did you kill Cillian?โ โWas it you?โ โAnswer us honestly!โ
Mason was drenched in sweat as he howled, โIt wasnโt me, I swear! Youโve all been fooled! It was Andrew! It was him!โ
Yet, Andrew did not even bother to respond.
Ryder raised his voice. โUlrich family, listen up! The truth has finally come to light. My dad killed my grandfather. Iโve already obtained the evidence from the nursing home.โ
He immediately played a video.
In the footage, Cillian was being abused while Mason stood nearby coldly watching without lifting a finger.
A few of the older, highly respected elders of the Ulrich family erupted in rage. They grabbed chairs and tables, shouting, โMason, you worthless piece of garbage! Youโre dead!โ โYou murdered your own father, you bastard! You deserve to die!โ
The entire Ulrich family was consumed by fury, swarming Mason and beating the living hell out of him with fists and kicks. A few mischievous kids pushed through the crowd and yanked down his pants. Then, they unleashed a stream of yellow, pungent urine directly onto Masonโs head, making him cough violently from the stench.
