Chapter 13

"Now that they've succeeded in sneaking into the camp, they're starting to covet the rewards that Father risked his life to earn. They... they..."

Henry Bennett had entered the family hall together with Gavin Bennett at the time. Just thinking about that scene made him tremble all over.

In the entire family, aside from the second elder who spoke a fair word, everyone else sided with the grand elder. After all, the grand elder's strength within the family was not something their branch could compare to.

Brian Bennett could imagine the situation Gavin Bennett faced back then. At this moment, his heart, which had just calmed down a bit, began to boil again. This kind of furious emotion was clearly contagious, fueling itself, instantly turning the embarrassment Henry Bennett was too ashamed to speak of into the anger of being bullied that Brian Bennett felt in his heart!

Biting his lip tightly, he didn't curse again. He wanted to use real actions to make those people pay the price!

"In the end, because of Father's insistence, the clan leader used the authority of the family head to make a decision, saying that as long as you, little brother, could withstand three moves from the grand elder's third grandson, you would be allowed to enter the Blood Pool!"

"Otherwise, for the sake of the family, Father would have to give up that spot to the grand elder's third grandson. They said... said the family couldn't just watch limited resources go to waste!"

What a high-sounding excuse. When they needed someone to risk their life, why didn't they say that!

When facing the swift-blade Kelly Sullivan, why didn't they speak up? That Kelly Sullivan's Ten Chasing Blades didn't fall on them. Now, at this moment, they talk about doing it for the family!

Bullshit!

"How strong is the third grandson?" Brian Bennett's lips tightened even more.

Henry Bennett was taken aback. Although they'd been brothers for over ten years, he still wasn't quite used to his younger brother's way of speaking.

But then again, after experiencing his brother's way of talking time and again, he also felt that speaking like his brother—damn, it really was satisfying.

"The third grandson is called Logan Bennett, about the same age as you. His cultivation has just reached the twelfth rank. Damn, this guy is really favored by his grandfather, but this time their branch has an older brother who's much stronger than him."

"Although the grand elder dotes on him, he still wouldn't give him the spot. After all, his older brother Blake Bennett's cultivation has already reached the eleventh rank."

Twelfth rank. Brian Bennett gently clenched his fist. In the past, he wouldn't have been confident about taking three moves from a twelfth-rank martial artist.

But now, he felt he had hope.

After all, now he had successfully activated the card in his heart!

Now it was time to see if the deck of cards he carried with him could really come through!

"Second brother, you don't need to worry too much. Father said that if you don't feel confident about this match, we can just admit defeat." Henry Bennett looked at Brian Bennett's silence and comforted him softly.

"Hmph, this debt will be settled with them one day!"

Looking at the trace of ferocity on his brother's face, Brian Bennett felt the importance of this family even more. He was just about to speak when someone ran over and said, "Second young master, someone is looking for you."

Brian Bennett was stunned for a moment, thinking, who in Luming Town would be looking for me? Could it be one of my little friends?

But seeing the servant's half-smiling, half-mocking expression, Brian Bennett felt a bit of a headache.

It seemed this matter wasn't so simple!

In just a moment, the servant brought the person looking for Brian Bennett in. If Evelyn Foster represented nobility and elegance that made people not dare to look directly, then this young woman was like a little flower that aroused pity.

A little flower blooming alone in a quiet, deserted place.

Her full name should be Daisy Thompson, the girl whom Brian Bennett's eldest uncle had intended to bully and seize, and whom Brian Bennett had casually rescued at the market today, earning him two thousand reputation points.

"You... what are you here for?" Brian Bennett looked at Daisy Thompson, who stood meekly in the hall, and for a moment didn't know what to say. The girl's appearance caught him off guard.

"My mother said, since the second young master likes Xiaoduo, she told me to come to the residence to serve the second young master." As Little Daisy spoke, she carefully bowed to Brian Bennett.

Come to the residence to serve me? Ugh, Brian Bennett understood what "serve" meant.

Compared to Brian Bennett, his older brother Henry Bennett only had a rough idea, but that was enough. He looked Brian Bennett up and down, then said with a hint of a smile, "Second brother, you've really grown up!"

Grown up, my ass!

Brian Bennett's brotherly affection for his older brother was instantly scattered by these words. He couldn't help but say, "Big brother, even though you're my big brother, you need to remember two things: first, don't call me second brother; second, I was really just thinking about the story and got too into it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Daisy Thompson's tears started streaming down. The gentle girl knelt softly on the ground and said, "When Mother sent Little Daisy here, Little Daisy already knew she wasn't worthy of the second young master."

"It's just that, in my heart, I really want to stay by your side, second young master. Really... really just to stay by your side!"

Looking at the tearful girl, Brian Bennett's heart twisted a little.
