Chapter 12

“You go and give it a try. Anyway, your brother can’t use it, just do your best, but don’t push yourself too hard!”

With this thought, a warm current surged through Brian Bennett’s heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably. At this moment, he felt that Gavin Bennett’s figure was so tall and imposing.

Henry Bennett patted Brian Bennett on the shoulder, his face showing a look of hatred as he said, “Father charged into Tiger Roar Stronghold and happened to run into the second master of the stronghold, Quick Blade Kelly Sullivan. Under his quick blade, Father took ten slashes.”

“One of them even missed his heart by just three inches!”

“But that damned Grand Elder, when it came time to reward merit, actually said that our family had no use for that quota, and demanded that Father sell it to him! So his third grandson could enter Blood Pool!”

“Ten thousand taels of silver—who needs his ten thousand taels!”

Henry Bennett rarely lost his temper, but at this moment, he was like a wounded beast, clenching his fists tightly.

Ten slashes, Quick Blade Kelly Sullivan! Brian Bennett firmly remembered this name, but immediately after, the Grand Elder’s name was also etched into his heart.

His own father risked his life for that quota, and yet they shamelessly seized it. It’s not like they lack the strength—if they want it, why don’t they fight for it themselves? Bastards!

“Bastards!” There was venom in Brian Bennett’s words!

Standing beside him, Henry Bennett was stunned for a moment. He knew exactly who Brian Bennett was cursing. Although he himself hated those people to the core, he had never connected those four words that Brian Bennett just spat out with those people.

After all, those people were high and mighty elders in the family!

But at this moment, hearing Brian Bennett curse, Henry Bennett felt an immense satisfaction, and couldn’t help but join in: “Bastards!”

After cursing, the two brothers looked at each other, and for a moment, both couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Their laughter rang out for quite a while before finally subsiding!

Just as the laughter faded, someone in the living room suddenly cursed harshly: “Bastards!”

Chapter 6: Good Things Come in Pairs

Unlike the brothers’ rough voices, this voice was crisp and pleasant. Even though it was spitting out a curse, it sounded extremely melodious to the ear.

Brian Bennett and Henry Bennett looked up at the same time and saw Evelyn Foster, dressed in a long white robe, standing lightly at the doorway like a swaying lotus flower, a hint of hesitation in her eyes!

When Henry Bennett saw Evelyn Foster, he was completely stunned. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do with himself.

Evelyn Foster glanced nonchalantly at Henry Bennett, then her gaze fell on Brian Bennett, her brows slightly furrowed as she said, “That phrase is really meaningless. Why were you two laughing so happily?”

Although he had just cursed, Brian Bennett was still indignant. But seeing Evelyn Foster like this, he couldn’t help but chuckle, “If you want to understand that phrase, just stand in front of everyone and shout it out loud. Then you’ll understand its true meaning!”

At this moment, sweat began to bead on Henry Bennett’s forehead. In his mind, he pictured this beautiful, dignified, and serene woman suddenly blurting out such words while everyone looked at her with admiration.

For the first time, he felt that his little brother really needed a beating!

Although Evelyn Foster wasn’t very worldly, she wasn’t stupid. How could she not realize that Brian Bennett was teasing her?

She ignored Brian Bennett and floated away gracefully.

Seeing his brother’s dazed expression, Brian Bennett couldn’t help but show off, “Bro, I forgot to introduce you—this is my wife!”

“This is the wife you picked up off the street? Why do I feel… feel like you’re not good enough for her?” Henry Bennett stammered, and noticing Brian Bennett’s face darken, quickly explained, “I mean, she’s a bit older, not a good match for you, bro!”

Who says honest people aren’t a little clever? Seeing his brother’s nervous look, Brian Bennett knew exactly what he was thinking!

He snorted, “Don’t even think about having me put in a good word for you with Sister Xiaoyue!”

Henry Bennett knew Brian Bennett was just saying that, so he smiled, scratched his head, and said nothing more.

“Did Father agree to exchange with them?” In the end, Brian Bennett steered the conversation back to the matter of Blood Pool.

And the relaxed atmosphere that had just appeared in the hall instantly vanished without a trace.

“Of course he didn’t agree. In fact… in fact, Dad even slammed the table at the Third Elder who came to talk about it!” Henry Bennett said, clenching his fists tightly, “In the end, the matter was escalated to the clan leader!”

“Under the combined pressure of the Grand Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder, hmph, the clan leader actually said… said that for the sake of the family’s future, to give the family another core member, Dad should put the bigger picture first and think of the family!”

“To hell with thinking of the family!” Henry Bennett said with deep repression in his eyes, “These bastards, always pretending to act for the family, putting on such sanctimonious airs, like they’re real gentlemen. But when it came time to ambush Tiger Roar Stronghold, not a single one of them went on the raid!”
