At that moment, Andrew and Dylan had Indeed arrived at the Wrig it estate.
Dylan chuckled and sald, “You know, my mom’s side is also Wrigh So why is there such a huge gap between me and their Wrights?”
Andrew joked, “Maybe you Wrights and Quinton’s Wrights were the same family 500 years ago! Why don’t you try claiming some family connection?”
Dylan pulled a face. “Mr. Lloyd, even if we were family five centuries ago, that’s not gonna help me now.”
Andrew laughed. “Then stop daydreaming and enjoy your regular fe. When you’ve seen more of the world, you’ll realize that the Five Apex Families aren’t as untouchable as they seem.
“Holtrien has tons of wealthy families. The truly top–tier elite clans and noble houses those are the ones really worth looking up to!”
Dylan nodded seriously. “I believe it. As long as I stick with you, Mr. Lloyd, I’ll see it all someday.”
Soon, the two were seated in the grand hall of the Wright estate.
Kevin şat across from them, his face dark and stormy. “Andy, what disaster are you bringing to the Wrights this time?”
Andrew raised an eyebrow. “Wow, you really are psychic. Because yeah, I am here to deliver bad news–really, really bad news.”
Kevin’s eyelid twitched, and he looked like he was one second away from swearing out loud. Ever since becoming swom brothers with Andrew, the Wrights had been plagued by one disaster after another.
Grand Viper’s two assassins had killed Wright family members, and then Grand Viper himself had attacked the Wright estate gates, nearly injuring Kevin.
Moreover, all of it was somehow tied to Andrew.
Kevin could not help wondering if Quinton was right–maybe Andrew was stirring the pot behind the scenes, manipulating everything to spark a war between the Wrights and Grand Viper.
Nonetheless, suspicion was one thing. He had no real evidence.
Tora, the Wright family’s head of security–and a fighter nearly at the martial king level–let out a cold snort from nearby. Alright, Mr. Lloyd. What exactly is this ‘really bad‘ news?”
As the Wright family’s top fighter, he was not particularly afraid of Grand Viper. On the contrary, he had always wanted to eliminate that old bastard to preserve the Wright family’s reputation.
Andrew sighed dramatically. “It’s serious. Like, very serious. But before I drop the bomb, Kevin, you and your inner circle should mentally prepare yourselves.”
Seeing how solemn and theatrical Andrew was being, Kevin’s heart dropped, and his face turned grim. Even Tora and the other senior members of the Wrights looked uneasy, momentarily caught off guard.
The family had already been through a stormy season lately.
Was something even worse on the horizon?
Sure, the Wrights still had deep reserves–cards they had not revealed yet. However, even the strongest walls could not stand forever against wave after wave of bad news.
As everyone stared at him in tense silence, Andrew cleared his throat and delivered his words with deep grief. “Kevin! My godson, Quinton–your very own flesh and blood! That bastard has done something unforgivable! He’s a disgrace to the heavens, guilty of the worst treachery, a monster who deserves a thousand deaths, a walking curse, universally hated by man and god alike—”
