Chapter 793 Ancestral Hall Confrontation
"Relax," Spencer said, as if sensing Casper's mood.
"I'm not going to do anything to you right now. Instead, you're going to be very useful to me, to Nia, and to Lucia."
Saying complacent words, Spencer was delighted. Originally, he thought he just caught a pawn, but did not expect to get a winning chess piece!
"Spencer! You'll get what's coming to you!" Casper could only vent his anger.
"Even if it comes back to haunt you," Spencer sneered and squinted at Casper, "You're the one in front! Dan, send someone to keep an eye on him. You only need to give him a small amount of food and water. Don't let him regain his strength. I have a big use for him!"
"Yes," Dan said, glancing at Casper and following Spencer out of the cramped cabin.
Back on deck, Spencer called in the quartermaster and gave him his orders.
"Head for international waters at full speed. Your fuel consumption and supplies will be delivered to you by helicopter. Do not stop at any port. Do you understand?"
"Yes," answered the helmsman respectfully.
After that, Spencer went to see Lucia again. Although she ignored him, Spencer, who already felt that he had a sure chance of winning, didn't care at all. He said a lot of caring words to her from his own wishful thinking, then got off the yacht and watched it head out to sea. It wasn't until the yacht became a tiny point that he and a few of his men left.
Not far from the Davies family shrine in Mokio, Elliot and Erik were walking in tandem.
Erik thought the patriarch was looking for him alone, but it wasn't until he met Elliot in the ancestral home that he realized something was wrong. But the last time things ended badly with Elliot, so he couldn't bring himself to ask him.
As he approached the Davies family's ancestral hall in the center of the building, Erik finally lost his cool.
"Do you know why the patriarch called us back?" Erik shouted after Elliot.
Elliot stopped and turned to his only brother. "Who are you talking to?" He said coldly
The only person Erik will ever be in awe of was Elliot. Seeing his cold face, Erik moved his lips and shouted,
"My brother."
"It's good that you still know I'm your brother." Elliot glanced at Erik and continued walking. "I don't know why the patriarch called us back, but it must be something big if he can call both of us back at the same time."
Seeing that Elliot was ready to talk to him, Erik quickly walked up to Elliot and asked him,
"Can you guess what it is?"
"You'll see," Elliot said flatly. "What's there to be afraid of if you have nothing to be ashamed of?"
When Erik heard this, his voice died and he stopped asking for trouble.
As they spoke, they had already entered the ancestral hall. Elliot and Erik were shocked when they saw the commotion. The elders of the clan were all present. This was a scene that could only be seen once every five years.
Erik, a descendant of the Davies family, was horrified. Despite his outrageous behavior, he was still in awe of the older members of his clan.
Elliot, on the other hand, was worried. He knew that Erik had something to do with this.
"Uncles, long time no see. How are you?" Even if worried, Elliot will not forget to care about the old people's health. owns this text.
"Elliot, come here, come here. I haven't seen you for a long time. Come here." The patriarch sat on the main seat and waved at Elliot. No matter how old these children were, in his eyes, they were still youthful. Elliot moved his eyebrows and walked toward the patriarch, leaving Erik standing alone under the old courtyard.
"Patriarch," Elliot said, glancing out of the corner of his eye at his uneasy brother, "Do you have something important to discuss with us this time?"
"No hurry," said the patriarch, with a smile, "There are still some who have not arrived."
Elliot's eyes darkened and he looked out the door, and Erik turned to look in the same direction when he heard that.
The patriarch ignored them and continued to talk to Elliot. Soon after, Edwin and Otis walked through the door. Erik frowned at them and stared at them whom he hated, watching them all the way past him to the patriarch.
"Elliot, it's been a long time," Edwin said to Elliot first, as his cousin.
"Hello, Uncle Elliot," Otis said politely.
Elliot was at a loss for words. There was no smile on his face. He sighed and nodded.
Erik couldn't take it anymore. He was abandoned in the yard, and when Edwin and his son could stand in front of the patriarch, he took a step forward and said,
"What do you mean?!"
"Stop!" The old patriarch rumbled, "you can still remember what is below the stairs?"
Erik pursed his lips.
"Speak!" The old patriarch yelled.
"It's a place to be punished," Erik said reluctantly. "When we were young, we would be punished by kneeling here and looking at our ancestors' tablets."
"Is there anything you need to be punished right now?" The patriarch shouted.
Erik's brows twitched as he looked at the patriarch's angry face, and the stern and solemn faces of the other elders. He braced himself and said.
"I didn't do anything wrong. What's the point of it?"
"Still dare to dissemble!" The crutch was thrown to the ground and the patriarch shouted, "You and your son do those things. Is it right?!" "What did we do..." Erik grumbled, but he had already subconsciously lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet the eyes of the elders.
"Well, you deny it," said the patriarch angrily. "Edwin, you tell it!"
"Don't be angry..." Elliot can not help his brother, so he can only calm his mood.
"Elliot, you're standing there listening to Edwin. Erik is your brother. Should he be punished? You should make a statement later!" The patriarch said with authority.
Elliot stood sideways, watching his brother stop talking.
"Erik," Edwin asked, frowning at the ancestral tablet and the culprit in front of him.
"You've always had your eye on Davonnis Corp, gone up against me, and I've never given you a hard time about it for Elliot's sake, but what are you gonna say about letting your son Spencer kidnap Lucia and her daughter?!"
