“Mark Sutton harbors evil intentions and has harmed the noble young master. He should be handed over to Master Webb for Master Webb to deal with him.”

Henry Sutton hadn’t spoken yet, but Grand Elder spoke up first.

At this moment, Grand Elder’s eyes were full of schadenfreude.

“Insolence!”

Henry Sutton suddenly shouted coldly, looking at Grand Elder and saying, “Grand Elder, are you the head of the family or am I? Since when is it your place to make decisions?”

“You...!”

Grand Elder was furious, but truly unable to refute, his face instantly turning ashen.

“Master Webb, the matter is not yet clear. We can only draw a conclusion after my son arrives.”

Henry Sutton then spoke to Walter Webb.

“Hmph! I hope your handling of this matter will satisfy me!” Walter Webb sneered coldly.

“We will definitely satisfy Master Webb!” The elders of The Sutton Family all smiled obsequiously.

Some elders of The Sutton Family were cursing Mark Sutton in their hearts.

“Of all people, that useless Mark Sutton had to provoke The Webb Family!”

“This good-for-nothing really knows how to cause trouble for the family!”

None of the elders wanted to offend The Webb Family. Although The Sutton Family and The Webb Family were both called the two great families, The Webb Family was much stronger than The Sutton Family.

Because their foundations were different, The Webb Family had been entrenched in Linyang City for over two hundred years, with deep roots.

As for The Sutton Family, it had only developed in recent decades, and its foundation was much weaker than The Webb Family’s.

Seeing the expressions of these The Sutton Family elders, the people of The Webb Family couldn’t help but curl their lips in a cold smile, their brows full of disdain.

Everyone waited quietly.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Before long, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Mark Sutton and Fourth Elder walked in together.

“Mark Sutton, do you admit your guilt?”

As soon as Mark Sutton entered the hall, Grand Elder suddenly shouted.

“Admit guilt?” Mark Sutton’s eyes flashed as he looked at Grand Elder and said, “Grand Elder, what have I done wrong? Why should I admit guilt?”

“Your intentions are evil, you harmed the second young master of The Webb Family, you are a disgrace to The Sutton Family, bringing shame to us, and you still want to deny it?”

Grand Elder’s gaze darkened, his aura oppressive. As soon as he spoke, he tried to pin the crime on Mark Sutton.

“Mark Sutton, quickly recount in detail how you harmed the second young master of The Webb Family.”

Fourth Elder Tyler Sutton also spoke coldly.

Several other elders chimed in as well. With Grand Elder taking the lead, they naturally had no more concerns.

Now, all the elders of The Sutton Family could be said to be standing on Grand Elder’s side.

Grand Elder was not only powerful himself, almost on par with Henry Sutton, but also had a genius son.

Eric Sutton possessed a level five human-grade martial soul, the number one genius of The Sutton Family, and would surely take charge of The Sutton Family in the future.

The people of The Webb Family, however, remained silent, merely watching coldly.

“Evil intentions? Disgrace?”

Mark Sutton couldn’t help but laugh loudly, then said coldly, “I want to ask the elders, as soon as I arrived you said I harbored evil intentions, that I’m a disgrace to The Sutton Family, and told me to confess. You know nothing about what happened, so how can you be sure I’m guilty?”

Mark Sutton glanced at the people of The Webb Family, and understood the situation—clearly, The Webb Family had come to make trouble!

“How dare you still argue?” Grand Elder roared, his face dark as water.

Mark Sutton’s eyes were icy as he said, “Grand Elder, you won’t listen to my explanation and just want me to confess. So if you say I’m guilty, then I am? If I speak, it’s just quibbling? Are you an elder of The Sutton Family, or of The Webb Family?”

“You...!”

Grand Elder was burning with rage. He hadn’t expected this useless one to be so sharp-tongued.

“Enough, Molly, tell us in detail what happened.”

Henry Sutton spoke, his narrowed eyes glancing at Grand Elder, a sharp glint flashing in his gaze.

“Alright!”

Immediately, Mark Sutton recounted the events in detail.

However, Mark Sutton did not mention Grace Sutton’s name, only saying that Liam Webb tried to abduct a common girl.

Grace Sutton was just an ordinary member of The Sutton Family, and Mark Sutton didn’t want to bring her trouble.

“Hmph!”

As soon as Mark Sutton finished, Walter Webb shouted, “Wretch, you injured my son. No matter the reason, you deserve to die a thousand deaths.”

“That’s right, your methods were so cruel, you deserve to be executed!”

“To provoke my The Webb Family, you must be prepared to die!”

The people of The Webb Family all began to shout.

“Liam Webb wanted to break my limbs and destroy my dantian, so I struck back and crippled him.”

Mark Sutton didn’t look at the people of The Webb Family, his face calm as he asked, “Elders, if someone wants to cripple me, am I not allowed to fight back? Is it a crime to defend myself?”

“As members of The Sutton Family outside, are we just supposed to let others bully us, and if we hurt someone, we’re guilty?”

Every word from Mark Sutton was powerful, making Grand Elder and the others’ faces darken as they fell silent.

“Master Webb, the truth is clear. It was your son who tried to break my son’s limbs and destroy his dantian. My son was forced to fight back. Everything was brought upon your son by himself.”

“Impossible!”

Walter Webb shouted, his face grim. “My son suffered such harm, all because of your son. Today, if you don’t hand over this wretch, be prepared to face the wrath of my The Webb Family!”

“Hmph! For scum like your son, crippling him is ridding the people of a menace!” Mark Sutton said disdainfully.
