The Hero

Chapter 234 The Peaceful Reunion Among Brothers

The dinner was divided into two tables.

One table was in the main banquet hall, which was extremely luxurious.

The people there are rich and powerful people who know a lot about what is going on in the world.

However, these people soon realized that they had never seen a variety of dishes served on a large table.

After asking Ciara, they found that all the dishes there were brand-new dishes made by expert chefs and nutritionists.

The other table is in the ancestral hall of the Kersey family on the island.

Only Kersey men are allowed to eat at this table. When Javier was younger, there were more men. There are seven of them, including Javier's father, his two brothers, Javier, and two brothers.

However, fewer and fewer people were eating at the table now.That night, only Zephiel, Arthur, William, and Javier were present.

After they paid their respects to their ancestors, Zephiel mocked himself and said, "I guess I've done pretty well for myself because I can bring my sons and grandchildren here to play Spades."

However, there were no playing cards in sight, only food on the table. Everyone present knew that Zephiel lamented the fact that there were very few men left in the family. After all, it is rather sad to see that the once great family of three generations only has enough people to play Spades now, a card game that requires at least four players to play it.

William hurriedly said, “Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll work hard when I get back tonight so you'll have a grandson next year.

Zephiel chuckled while nodding. "good. What if you go back and work hard now? You have to seize that opportunity.

William laughed loudly. "Of course not! Javier finally came home after so long, so we should get together and chat!”

William then wrapped his arm around Javier's shoulder and warmly said, “Isn't that so, Javier?”

Javier has a brighter smile on his face. “You are absolutely right, William! Let's drink until we both die tonight!”

William laughed out loud and agreed to the suggestion, making it seem as if the siblings were very close to each other.

However, it was a completely different story behind the scenes. Forget Javier and William. Even Zephiel and Arthur are at odds with each other.

However, none of them would talk about it at dinner that night.

No matter how bad the situation was, it was still camouflaged by a huge facade called peace, and it would not be good for either party if the facade was eventually broken.

When Zephiel raised his glass, the other three people raised their glasses and downed their drinks, from the bottom up.

After praying for each other for the rest of the year and expressing their hope for the family to remain harmonious, Zephiel invited everyone to start eating.

Throughout the ordeal, Arthur's face is drawn, as he is obviously very unhappy about something.

It seemed like he was thinking about his wife and son, but no one there would want to mention a word about it.

As for whether Arthur was wondering whether Marjorie and Sigmund were alive or dead, or whether he was thinking of something else at all, no one really knew. After all, none of them could see through what he was hiding behind his hypocritical expression.

After dinner was over, it was time for them to disband.

However, before that happened, Zephiel suddenly said, “The three of you are the only ones left in the Kersey Family now. Naturally, one of you three will take over the duties of the family head.”

Javier raised his hand just then, looking exactly like a kindergarten boy who wanted to ask. However, he eventually caused William's expression to instantly change.

'Come on, you don't have to be so obviously competing for that role, do you? However, what Javier said next completely exceeded his expectations.

“I'm not capable enough and I'm a bad character appraiser, so I'll give up trying to take over the family. I'd rather live my life as a rich and free man.”

William was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled and said, “You drank too much, Javier. How can you say something that belittles you? Where's your fighting spirit?”

William felt even more elated, for Zephiel would definitely hate such a useless man.

As he was filled with excitement, Arthur suddenly said in a muffled voice, “I won't compete for that either. Someone else can take over for everything I care about.

'What's with all these sudden statements ?! It's like Christmas came early! This is the best Christmas gift I have ever received!'

William hurriedly acted. “Uncle Arthur, Javier, what are you two saying? We are a family, so it is our duty as members of the Kersey Family to perform our duties and responsibilities. We should all help bring glory to our family, no matter how difficult and difficult our future may be!

“Grandfather is very old now, so you two really set a very bad example for yourself by just wanting to live in luxury rather than share the burden.”

At the time, William perfectly portrayed how disappointed one might be with incompetent members of his family.

However, his heart screamed in excitement, and he felt as if he had secured the role of the head of the family.

When he was about to say something. Zephiel patted his shoulder

“William, my dear son.. You are truly a devoted person!”.

William was overjoyed, but he still looked the other way around on the outside. “It is only natural that I do such a thing, Grandpa.”

Zephiel nodded her head. “Then, you should try harder to try and take over my responsibilities faster”

After hearing that statement, William was overjoyed, 'He really made me the Crown Prince, didn't he?

I will definitely be the next head of the family!'

William hurriedly said that he would definitely make Zephiel proud but also said that it should be part of his task.

“Alright, go and leave us. Didn't you say you'd try your best tonight so I could have a grandchild next year?

William laughed loudly. "of course! Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll do it soon!”

Therefore, William left happily. But Zephiel suddenly called out to him before he reached the entrance.

“William, you should read more about the Story of the Three Kingdoms.”

After saying that, Zephiel added, just to make sure that William understood his point, “In particular, you should read more about the Sima.” Family

William nodded his head earnestly. “Don't worry, Grandpa, I know what you mean. Sima's family is a wonderful family of men. One of them was a great tactician, while his grandson was an emperor. I will definitely learn more about them and bring the glory of Kerseys so that we can reach a higher level!”

Zephiel then turned around, waving her hand with a bitter smile on her face.

After William left, Arthur also woke up and said in a muffled voice, "I'll also be back, Father."

Zephiel admits this, and only he and Javier are left behind.

After Javier helped Zephiel roll the cigarette, he helped her light it up. Then, Zephiel said, “William doesn't understand why I asked him to read about the family even after I specifically pointed it out. Sigh!"

Javier lit his own cigarette and said, “Don't worry, Grandpa. The Battle of the Eight Princes will not take place. At the very least, there will be no bloody battles.” –

William thought Zephiel wanted him to learn how to be as wise and competent as people like Sima Yi, but what he failed to realize was that the old fox wanted peace.

However, Javier can understand what the old fox wants, and Arthur naturally does too. However, William, who was so fixated on his glorious days in the future, failed to realize it fully. The old fox then said, "He will never be able to learn how to remain humble, so hide your razor sharp blade."

Javier chuckled and said, “Kisau? Me? Please. I'm just a guy who lives an honest life.

Zephiel coldly sneered, “Will a man living an honest life be spending money to arm over 3,000 mercenaries with complete equipment? Will he be in an ambiguous relationship with Angelina of Thalarcsus? You don't plan on bringing those 3,000 people to this island, do you?”
