ch 159 - Shameless Family; Taking a Trip Alone (12)

“I am sorry, I can’t do this. Master should assign this to someone else!” replied Eleventh Elder nonchalantly.

“What?!”

Master Cheng’s face changed color and the others looked on incredulously. Within the Cheng’s, Master Cheng outranked any elders. Normally, the elders must listen to the master as it was their role to assist the master of the house in handling family business.

When the master assign a task to an elder, they must follow the orders, unless over half of the elders object, that would be the only way to override the master’s order.

But now all elders supported the decision to have Eleventh Elder take on this assignment and he openly declined. This was no doubt a challenge to the master’s authority. Master Cheng was enraged.

The protest from Eleventh Elder even moved First Elder. He slowly opened his eyes and a beam of bright light went straight toward Eleventh Elder.

Master Cheng scolded angrily, “Eleventh Elder, if you disobey my order, I can banish you from the Circle of Elders!”

“Sure, go ahead. As long as it pleases you, you can banish me from the family even!” Eleventh Elder stood up calmly and started walking toward the door, “If this family is all about profits and not caring about your family, I don’t care to be a part of it!”

“You stand right there, Eleventh Elder! Don’t you dare!”

Master Cheng jumped up abruptly and shouted angrily at his back. Eleventh Elder never looked back and disappeared from the parlor shortly!

“HOW DARE HIM!”

When his authority failed, Master Cheng shouted like a mad man. The other elders all turned away and pretended that they didn’t see anything.

Of course, they were all surprised at by the actions of Eleventh Elder. He didn’t care about being banished from the family?

Has he gone insane?
