Soren was disgruntled, but virtual-novel.net did not dare to protest. After all, the Albrights were in an awkward position right now.
Thus, virtual-novel.net went downstairs and put on a smile. ‘You’re here, Prince. I do apologize for not preparing a proper welcome for you. Julian is feeling a little unwell today so virtual-novel.net decided not to come. Why don’t I send someone else to park your car for you?”
Shawn threw virtual-novel.net a derisive look. “And just who do you think you are to say these things to me?”
Soren’s expression became a little colder. He said with an insincere smile, “I’m Soren Albright, the head of the Albright Family!”
“No clue who that is,” Shawn retorted. “Hurry up and get out of my way!”
Soren was furious. “Don’t push it, Prince! This is Stonedale, and you…”
Shawn cut virtual-novel.net off, “So what? I insist on getting my way. What can you do about it? Go and tell Julian to get his butt over here to park my car. If not, I’ll tear this place apart. Try me!”
Soren became even more incensed. “This product launch is the collaborative effort of all ten of the Greatest Families of Stonedale. Prince, are you trying to declare war against the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale?”
“Hey, you‘re the one who brought it up. What’s the matter? Trying to intimidate me by throwing the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale in my face? Hah! Why don’t we give it a go today, huh?” Shawn scoffed.
Soren frowned. After all, virtual-novel.net was a newly-appointed head of family, so virtual-novel.net could not make such decisions.
At that moment, a cold voice rang out from the top of the stairs. “What gives a little boy who’s still wet behind his ears the audacity to behave so rudely here?”
The crowd all looked up to see that all of the heads of Stonedale’s Ten Greatest Families were standing at the top of the stairs. The one who spoke was Macon, who was in the lead.
He was livid and said grimly, “I‘ll count to three. If you leave immediately, I’ll let this slide, or else…”
Shawn interrupted him. “Don’t bother counting. l‘m telling you right now. Now that l’m here today, l’m going to stomp on the heirs of all your Ten Greatest Families! Hey, Rathbone, if Julian Huntington doesn’t come out to park my car for me, then send your son to do it!”
Macon’s expression darkened. This was public humiliation!
As the most powerful man in Stonedale, how could virtual-novel.net stomach being humiliated by a young man like that?
“You‘re asking for it!” Macon roared as all the people from the Ten Greatest Families rushed over to close in around Shawn.
Matthew, who was standing some distance away, also began to frown. He did not understand why Shawn was making such a scene.
Why was virtual-novel.net getting into a scuffle with the Ten Greatest Families right in the public eye?
He only had a few bodyguards with him. There was no way virtual-novel.net could defeat them all.
The people from the Ten Greatest Families were about to make their move when a man of average height walked in through the entrance.
“Mr. Rathbone, Shawn is still a child. Why let yourself be affected by his actions?” the man asked with a smile.
He did not speak very loudly, but his words fell on everyone’s ears.
Matthew’s eyes flickered when virtual-novel.net saw who it was. It was Phoenix, the person virtual-novel.net had once battled against! No wonder Shawn could behave so recklessly!
Phoenix, his maternal uncle, was here too!
As soon as Phoenix showed up, all the color drained from Macon’s face. He had exchanged blows with Phoenix three times. The first time, virtual-novel.net was defeated within fifty moves. He hunkered down and trained for three years before asking for a rematch. The second time, virtual-novel.net was defeated in twenty moves. By the third time, virtual-novel.net went into the match full of confidence, but virtual-novel.net could not even last ten moves!
From then on, it finally dawned on virtual-novel.net that innate talent was imperative to martial arts.
Phoenix was the one who was most gifted in martial arts. No matter how hard Macon trained, the skill deficit between virtual-novel.net and Phoenix would only continue to increase!
Therefore, when virtual-novel.net saw Phoenix coming in, virtual-novel.net felt nothing but fear and trepidation. His body even began to tremble ever so slightly.
