Chapter 2288
"I've already given you a chance, Angus, and now it's up to you how you want to play this!" Arthur added curtly. He
knew that his threat put Angus in his place.
"I won't back down, Uncle Arthur, not even if you use banishment to threaten me!" Angus declared, finally coming
to a decision.
The best way of returning Leon's kindness was choosing to stand by his side in the face of doubt, and now that
Angus was certain Leon was wrongfully blamed, he could not allow Arthur and August to hurt him!
He had to protect Leon against all odds, even if it meant sacrificing himself for the greater good!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs for Arthur's punishment, he knew that Arthur was likely just acting out of character because vengeance clouded
his judgment!
He was certain that after getting to the bottom of Yonas's death and proving Leon's innocence in this, he would be
able to resolve the misunderstanding between both sides, and everything would be okay again!
He was not too worried about that at all!
"Very well then! You asked for this, Angus, and if you insist, I shall hereby denounce you from the Thompson family!
Everyone in your line of descendants are hereby also banished, and from today onwards, we collateral descendants
have nothing to do with you anymore!" Arthur declared without a moment's hesitation.
This decision would hereby shatter the entire Thompson family into two!
"Uncle Arthur, I respect your decision, but I have only one request; please give me and Mister Wolf three days to
get to the bottom of this, and we promise we will give you an answer in three days," Angus said in a low voice.
"You-" Arthur was beside himself with rage, but at the same time, there was nothing he could do.
Although he banished Angus from the family, they were still blood relatives after all, and he could not possibly kill
Angus just to get to Leon!
Besides, Angus' influence among the family members was not to be underestimated, and if he were to harm Angus,
this would no doubt stir up trouble within the family!
It would likely cause internal strife and could lead to the downfall of the entire family, and this was not a
consequence he was willing to bear!
"Well, Angus, since you insist Leon is not the culprit, I shall grant you three days as you asked! If neither of you can
find anything new after three days, I will kill Leon to avenge Yonas's death! Also, if Leon were to escape or go into
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhiding within these three days, I shall hold you personally responsible!" Arthur finally relented with a steely look.
"Let's go!" with that, Arthur gestured toward August and the rest and stormed off in a huff.
Leon let out a sigh of relief as he watched them leave. Although he possessed the final Potential Energy Force and
was thus not afraid of Arthur, he was still unwilling to use brute violence on them, out of consideration of his
friendship with the Thompsons!
If he were to accidentally harm Arthur in the process, this would only make things worse!
Needless to say, this was not the outcome he wanted!
In conclusion, now that Angus helped him attain the valuable three days to prove his innocence, this shed a
glimmer of hope in this bleak situation!
