Chapter 141 - Old Rivals (1/2)

After asking Andrew to keep quiet, the grand elder took a deep breath to calm himself before looking down at Andrew before turning to look at his father as he asked.

”Garry you said that your son here will never do something like that which means you are in support of everything he does”.

”That is not my point grand elder, it is just that he will never go so far as to sell the family out” replied Mr. Garry with a bow.

”Do you know that your son would have been dead by now if it weren't for the fact that the young man decided to let me know” asked the grand elder as he looked Garry deep in the eyes.

Instead of answering the grand elder, Mr. Garry turns to his son who has his head lower and couldn't help but have a doubt that his son was lying to him, and then again he has refused to go out for a week now which kind of links the puzzle together. After taking all things through, Mr. Garry decided to ask his son some questions since if he were to side with his son and things were finally laid out with his son having a hand in everything, he would also be held accountable for it.

”Andrew, do you mind telling me the reason why you have decided to stay out home for some days” asked Mr. Garry with a serious look on his face that said that all he wanted to hear was the truth.

Hearing his father bring up the matter with him staying at home, Andrew was just about to come up with a story but that was when Denise's father also spoke.

”That is strange, my son was also hiding at home for days like he has done something that places his life at risk”.

”It's the same with my son Michael too and when I asked him why he isn't going out with his friends only for him to tell me that he taking his training serious and won't have time to play around with them but who would have thought that it will be because they have done something bad” said Michael father after some of the parents have spoken.

”Looks like you won't be escaping trouble this time around” said Jason with a chuckle before turning to look at Andrew's father as he continued.

”The reason why he went into hiding was that he knew I would be coming for him since he knew what he had done”.

Seeing that the truth had been let out, Andrew was not able to say anything, his father was disappointed that his son had let him down and with nothing to say, he bowed at the higher up as he pleaded on behalf of his son.

”It would have been a different case if he tries to kill him and fail since a little punishment would be enough to calm everything but for your son to keep the identity of an intruder secret, his punishment is yet to be decided so you can go back to your home in two days their punishment would be let out” said the grand elder as he dismissed them out if the hall.

”It would have been better if you leave them to me since it will be a lot of work for you” said Jason as he was not pleased with the way they handled the matter.

”You don't have to worry about the punishment that would be upon them, though it won't be a life-threatening one but it won't be a light one either” replied the grand elder as he stroked his beard.

”But you are the one that said if someone tried to take my life, that I wouldn't be at fault if I were to kill them” said Jason.

'This kid, must you make things difficult for me as a grand elder' thought the grand elder with a frown on his face.

”Can you just let this one slide just for my sake” replied the grand elder in hope that Jason would give him some face.

Seeing that the grand elder was pleading on their behalf, Jason decided to let the matter go.

”Well since I was not injured during the ambush, I guess I can let it go but you will have to compensate me with something” said Jason with a wide smile on his face as he waited for the grand elder's reply.

”And now you are using it to your advantage in the situation” mutters the grand elder with a twitched face.

The family head couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the grand elder mutter to himself.

After some contemplation, the grand elder dismissed Jason from the hall saying he will get back to him and after leaving, the grand elder let out a deep breath as he said.

”Now that the issue with the kids is settled, let's talk about the phoenix family”.

”Grand elder there is no way we should declare a war between them based on the circumstances” replied the family head.

”I guess I will have to pay the grand elder of the Phoenix family a visit” said the grand elder as he stood up and walked out of the hall.
