chapter 2 Last wishes

Su Hao followed his mother into the most conspicuous four-story blue brick villa in the manor.

In the lobby on the first floor of the villa, the men, women, and children of the Shen family gathered together, sitting or standing, looking at Ned Scurr who walked in with cold eyes, not hiding their inner contempt and disdain.

At this moment, the hall of the villa was completely silent.

"bastard……"

An arrogant young man, leaning on the armrest of the sofa with his hands in his pockets, spoke first.

Although the young man didn't look at Ned Scurr, he was undoubtedly scolding or insulting Ned Scurr , and he didn't even care about Ned Scurr's mother's face.

"Xiao Fei, Haohao is your cousin after all. How can you say that about him?"

Lauren Sowden, who had been submissive for nearly 20 years, questioned her nephew Homer Sowden. If it was just her who was offended by her juniors, she could bear it, but she couldn't bear her son's humiliation.

The rest of the Shen family either looked on with cold eyes or sneered at Lauren Sowden's words, but no one thought that Homer Sowden had done something wrong or rude.

Because in their eyes, Ned Scurr was small and lowly, so he deserved to be scolded and humiliated.

Ned Scurr looked around expressionlessly at the Shen family members who were sitting or standing. He finally felt what kind of family his mother lived in, and he felt more and more sorry for his mother.

It’s okay not to have such relatives and such a home!

"I, Laban Sowden, have no grandson, so how can Xiaofei have any cousins?!"Laban Sowden, who had the sofa at the center of the hall to himself, glared at his daughter, Lauren Sowden.

Twenty years ago, Lauren Sowden eloped with someone and later brought his illegitimate child back to the Shen family, making Laban Sowden carefully planned political marriage a laughing stock for others.

Laban Sowden was about to break off the relationship with his daughter Lauren Sowden and drown Ned Scurr. Fortunately, the old man of the Shen family intervened in time and saved Ned Scurr.

From then on, in Laban Sowden heart, his rebellious daughter was dead.

Lauren Sowden looked at her mean father, angry and aggrieved, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down her face. For so many years, she had been scorned and looked down upon, and she was still not forgiven. Could it be that she had to die in order to end it all?

Ned Scurr couldn't bear it when his mother was wronged. He almost gritted his teeth and asked Laban Sowden,"You don't have any grandchildren, do you?"

When other members of the Shen family saw that the young Ned Scurr dared to question Laban Sowden in such an attitude, they all thought that Ned Scurr was seeking death because he didn't know the limits of the world.

Keith Sowden, Lauren Sowden's second brother and Homer Sowden's father, pointed angrily at Ned Scurr and said in a stern tone: "You are so brave..."

Ned Scurr ignored Keith Sowden and forced Laban Sowden with his cold eyes.

How could Laban Sowden be intimidated by a little kid? He straightened up proudly, showing off his status as a superior, and looked down upon Ned Scurr, saying, "I don't have a grandson, what do you want?"

"good……"

Ned Scurr nodded, a decisive sneer appearing on his angular face. Lauren Sowden sensed that his son was about to explode and wanted to hold him back, but it was too late.

Before Ned Scurr could finish his words, he jumped in front of Homer Sowden, and no one could react at all.

At this moment , Homer Sowden still had his hands in his trouser pockets, and he was leaning on the armrest of the sofa. Without any precautions, Ned Scurr raised his foot and kicked the guy in the stomach hard.

puff!

After suffering the heavy blow, Homer Sowden spurted out his undigested breakfast.

Ned Scurr turned sideways to avoid the rice crumbs sprayed out by Homer Sowden. A kick could not dissipate the anger in his heart. He took advantage of Homer Sowden abdominal pain to bend over and grabbed Homer Sowden hair.

With a click, Homer Sowden's head hit the glass coffee table in front of the sofa under the rapid pressure of Ned Scurr right hand, and the glass panel shattered.

The entire Shen family was stunned.

They never dreamed that Ned Scurr would dare to take action.

Su Hao let go of Homer Sowden hair, and Homer Sowden, whose face was covered with blood, groaned in exhaustion, as if he was completely confused, without howling or struggling to fight back.

"you you……"

Laban Sowden, who came back to his senses, pointed at Ned Scurr and was speechless.

"I'm teaching him how to behave, letting him know what he can say and what he can't say, so as not to cause trouble in the future."Ned Scurr was not afraid of the extremely angry Laban Sowden.

Laban Sowden.

The nominal head of the Shen family.

Once the old man dies, he will be the real head of the family.

The head of the Shen family not only controlled the Shen family, but was also respected by countless powerful people. How could he ever be treated like this by a young boy?

Seventy-year-old Laban Sowden was so angry that he was shaking all over.

The Shen family members, who were gradually recovering, were either furious or looking at Ned Scurr like a dead man.

Lauren Sowden face turned pale and she was flustered. What should she do if her son got into a big trouble?

"Come here, lock him up for me!"

Laban Sowden roared.

Several tough men in black rushed in.

The anxious Lauren Sowden hurriedly protected her son, causing the several tough men in black who rushed towards Ned Scurr to restrain themselves.

"Haohao is young and energetic. Please let him go. If you want to punish me, punish me."Lauren Sowden choked and begged, and wanted to kneel down to Laban Sowden who never treated her as his daughter.

Ned Scurr grabbed his mother to prevent her from kneeling down and said, "Mom, as long as I'm here, you don't have to kneel to anyone. I want to see whether I die today or they die!"

The sonorous voice echoed.

Ned Scurr looked domineeringly at the Shen family and the approaching bodyguards in black.

The guards in black were all military masters who had gone through a hail of bullets, but Ned Scurr powerful aura still made these guards shudder.

Fighting, on the verge of breaking out.

At this juncture, the full-time nursing staff guarding the Shen Family Emperor rushed down the stairs and shouted: "The old man is awake and wants to see...see Ned Scurr..."

Both the Shen family and Ned Scurr were stunned.

Jabari Sowden.

The founder of the Shen family.

When Ned Scurr stood in front of the bed and looked at this centenarian whose face was covered with wrinkles and age spots, he was in awe. Among the people still alive in China, this old man was the only one who truly deserved the word great.

If the old man lying on the bed passes away, all the heroes of that generation who have gone through the great years will wither away.

Jabari Sowden couldn't turn his head, so he could only look sideways at Ned Scurr, looked at him for a long time, smiled with difficulty, and wanted to raise his right hand. Ned Scurr understood what the old man meant, and quickly stepped forward and took the old man's right hand.

The rest of the Shen family stood aside and watched, surprised and jealous. They couldn't understand why the old man who had reached the last moment of his life insisted on seeing Ned Scurr.

It seemed that Ned Scurr's weight in the old man's heart was much greater than that of his children and grandchildren.

"So many years...you and your mother...you and your mother...there is...my fault..." The old man admitted his mistake to Ned Scurr and coughed at the end.

"It's not your fault..."

Ned Scurr knew that the old man had been bedridden for more than ten years and had no energy to control the Shen family. He couldn't handle many things.

"You... are a good boy..." The old man held Ned Scurr's hand tightly, stared at Ned Scurr for a long time, and pulled Ned Scurr's hand slightly, signaling Ned Scurr to come closer.

Ned Scurr leaned over.

"Son... you are not a thing in the pool... If the Shen family fails in the future and encounters any obstacles that cannot be overcome, I hope you can put aside your old grudges and protect the Shen family."

The old man's words confused Ned Scurr.

Ned Scurr didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I've... met countless people in my life... I can't make a mistake." The old man, who was extremely weak, knew everything in his heart. How could he not know why Ned Scurr was surprised.

"If the day comes, I'll do my best."

Ned Scurr nodded in agreement, not to mention that the old man had a favor for his life and it depends on whether he was right or not. As a junior, he had the responsibility to let the most respected elder leave peacefully.

"good……"

The old man smiled hard again and slowly let go of Ned Scurr's hand.
