William Newman's look of smugness and his hearty laughter formed a stark contrast with Sophie Newman's panic and crying.

"Outrageous!" Sophie Newman's father, the Nie family collateral expert Andrew Newman, darkened his face, cursed under his breath, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Those gloves don't match William Newman's cultivation attribute, and there's not a trace of spiritual energy resonance with the artifact on William Newman. What's the point of him snatching that spiritual tool?"

Ethan Lewis of Lingyun Sect, seeing William Newman forcibly snatch away the gloves that Sophie Newman was about to get, also smiled wryly.

Ethan Lewis let out a helpless laugh and was about to offer a few words of comfort, when he noticed that William Newman, having just seized the gloves, after laughing, rushed toward another nearby spiritual artifact.

While Sophie Newman was still crying and shouting, William Newman, who had already put on the red gloves, quickly charged toward the blue short sword.

At that moment, another child of the Nie family, his little face full of smiles, had already grasped the blue short sword.

The instant he held the blue short sword, a blue shimmering light suddenly flashed from the contact between his skin and the sword.

He grinned, his expression joyful, just about to express his delight with laughter, when William Newman swept in like the wind.

Obviously much stronger, William Newman cheerfully snatched the blue short sword from the child's grasp.

The child, now empty-handed, was stunned for a moment, then tried to take the short sword back from William Newman, but was pushed to the ground by William Newman.

"Waaah!"

Another child's crying echoed sharply in the Nie family's council hall.

"Outrageous! This little brat is too outrageous!" Another collateral member of the Nie family blew his beard and glared, so angry he almost rushed into the arena.

Addicted to snatching, William Newman paid him no mind at all, rampaging through the hall as if no one else was there. In a short time, he had forcibly grabbed the remaining knife, fan, beast bone, wooden staff, and bead.

Many Nie family members attending the lottery assembly were dumbfounded, looking at William Newman with strange, almost monstrous gazes.

The cries of the seven children and the curses of their parents rose and fell, making the hall noisy and chaotic.

Having seized all seven spiritual artifacts, William Newman's hands were already full, so he piled them together, squatted down, and happily stroked them one by one, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

However, everyone could clearly see that when his chubby little hands touched the seven artifacts, none of them showed any spiritual energy reaction.

This meant that none of the seven spiritual artifacts he had snatched matched his cultivation attribute.

He was blatantly breaking the rules!

The seven Nie family children who had their artifacts taken were now sobbing, naturally gathering around William Newman, staring longingly at the artifacts that matched their own attributes and made them feel comfortable, hoping to get them back.

"Mine, all mine..." William Newman turned around, waving his arms and shouting incoherently.

Charles Newman, greedily eyeing the green bead, stepped closer, trying to get past William Newman to take the bead back.

"Bang!"

William Newman swung his fist, his chubby hand landing squarely on Charles Newman's face. Charles Newman fell to the ground with a thud, crying even louder.

The other six children, who had been inching closer, looked at the little tyrant William Newman with fear in their eyes. They circled around him, staring longingly at the spiritual artifacts that originally belonged to them, but no one dared to make a move.

"Too outrageous! I've watched so many family lottery assemblies, but I've never seen such a domineering and unruly child!"

"This little brat! Not a single one of the seven spiritual artifacts matches his cultivation attribute, yet he refuses to let any go and wants to monopolize them all! In our Nie family, there has never been such a vile incident in history!"

"Brothers in the clan should love and help each other, never hog everything for themselves! But look at him—not only does he want all the meat, he won't even let others have a sip of soup! Absolutely lawless, with no regard for rules!"

Eric Newman and Brian Newman, hearing the cries and curses in the hall, looked as gloomy as water.

Grace Newman stood at the doorway, watching the triumphant and laughing William Newman, her expression anxious, secretly resenting William Newman for being so reckless and offending all the Nie family members.

She looked pitifully at her father David Newman, only to see David Newman with a wry smile, looking both troubled and embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to resolve the situation.

"Um..."

After watching for a long time, Ethan Lewis spoke softly, and the noise in the hall quickly quieted down after he began to speak.

The many Nie family members, their faces full of anger, shifted their gaze from William Newman to Ethan Lewis.

Ethan Lewis cleared his throat, smiled at everyone, and said, "Children's play... is, well, rather amusing. As for those seven little trinkets, in my opinion, William Newman certainly can't keep them all to himself. How about this: let William Newman keep one, and return the rest to the other children. Let's call it settled—what do you all think?"
