Chapter 623
His eyes were ice-cold! His murderous aura filled the room! Philip kept staring at Canon, approaching him one step at a time. He
grabbed Canon by the collar and lifted him from the ground, saying coolly, “Since you don’t care about your own life, Canon
Clarke, why do I think I would care?”
Canon looked up, blood leaking from his mouth. He said wildly, “Haha, don’t sound so scary, Phil. If you really have the balls to
do it, you would have done it by now. You’re just trying to scare me. As if you actually dare to kill me! Would you really be willing
to give up your inheritance?”
Canon’s bluster came directly from his knowledge of the family rules. He knew that members of the family were not allowed to kill
each other! “Do you think I care about the family rules?” Philip said all of a sudden, his eyes filled with a brutal bloodlust! Ba-
thump! Canon shuddered when he saw the look in Philip’s eyes. Stuttering slightly, he said, “W-What are you doing?”
Philip responded with a punch right into Canon’s gut! That single punch sent Canon’s innards into an
upheaval. He vomited a torrent of blood! Bam!

Add that to the previous kick, and Canon had broken five or six ribs! By now, Canon was lying on the
ground like a dead dog. It hurt to even talk, and every time he panted, he could taste blood. “Y-You…
can’t kill me! I’m the sixth young master of the branch family!” Canon forced the words out through his
teeth, watching in horror as Philip stalked toward him, his expression cold and his fist clenched. Right
now, Canon finally smelled death in the air! Philip really did dare to kill him! “Canon Clarke, you hurt my
wife and my daughter. You challenge my limits over and over, so even if you are an heir to the branch
family, I will kill you today. No one can save you!” Philip said coldly, swinging his fist! That punch was a
culmination of his overflowing fury. Canon’s pupils dilated and he watched as that clenched fist
approached his face. He wailed, “Grandpa, save me! Save me!”
All of a sudden! A cold voice barked from the door! “Stop! Who dares hurt my grandson!” An old man in
a gray suit suddenly appeared at the villa door, with more than ten bodyguards standing at attention
behind him. All of them looked at the scene in the living room, unblinking. The old man had white hair, a
frosty expression, a hooked nose, and a sharp gaze. He held his hands behind his back, looking
imposing in his silence. He had the air of a long-time ruler. Also, Giada Wallis was standing next to him!
She wore a long white gown and held a royal Persian cat with heterochromia in her arms. There was
the ghost of a cool smile playing on her lips. Philip’s fist froze in mid-air. The moment he turned around,
he saw that old man. Canon was elated to see that old man. He thought he was saved, so he yelled at
the top of his lungs, tears and snot flowing freely. “Grandpa, you’re finally here!
Quick, you gotta teach this trash a lesson! He hit a fellow family member and even tried to kill me! You
must punish him severely, Grandpa! In fact, get all the elders from the enforcement hall to strip him of
his status!” Canon wailed, full of emotion. “Philip Clarke! How dare you break the rules right in front of
me! You’re disrespecting the family rules and harming your own family! According to the rules, you
should be kicked out of the main family and disowned!” The old man held his hands behind his back,
glancing at the battered Canon on the floor before addressing Philip coldly. That cursed Philip, how
dare he so flagrantly flout the rules! He was blatantly disrespecting his great-uncle here! Philip frowned

He then glanced at Giada. Was it because of what happened with Uncle Tim? “What’s the matter?
Shouldn’t you greet me, Philip?” Gerard Clarke said without warmth, his hands still behind his back and
his expression full of ice. He was a representative from the Clarke family enforcement hall!
There were ten members in the enforcement hall, all carefully chosen from the main and branch families. They were all influential
elders from within the family who followed the family rules to the T! At the same time, they represented the family’s image and
influence to some extent. That was why most members of the family were terrified of them like mice afraid of cats.
Just the slightest violation of the family rules could result in three months of solitary confinement! Solitary confinement under the
Clarke family enforcement hall was nothing short of a nightmare. “Great-uncle Gerard.”
Philip raised his brow but eventually greeted Gerard anyway. Only then did Gerard walk in. He looked at Canon, who was still
lying on the floor, and then turned to Philip, his voice icy. “You hurt a member of the family. Do you still remember the
seventeenth family rule? Are you reciting the rules every day?” Philip’s gaze gradually grew colder as Gerard pressed him
forcefully. This old man was clearly trying to accuse him of a crime, by hook or by crook. “Won’t you ask me why I beat him up,
Great-uncle?”
Philip asked coldly, fury flaring in his chest. Fury aimed at Gerard Clarke.
