Chapter 144 - "Cornering Grandpa Yofan"
If Ainsley demonstrated her process of taming the beast, not only will she stabilise her status as the family head, she could also deal with them afterwards…
That can"t happen. We have to prevent the young miss from taming the sacred guardian!
But before Dober could speak, Grandpa Yofan already beat him to it.
"Oh? All of you don"t believe the family head"s words? Alright then. Shall we let her demonstrate the process of taming the sacred guardian?"
The old man"s words once more struck the guests" hearts. They looked at each other with wide eyes, not believing what they just heard.
The supreme elder wants to let the young family head to get in touch with that savage beast? And also let her tame him in front of us?
That"s insane!
The crowds murmured to each other, lamenting Grandpa Yofan"s cruel heart, but they didn"t dare to oppose it. After all, that"s truly the only way to prove the young miss" words and the only thing they could do to wash Elliana"s sin.
However, would Uncle Dober let them be? Of course, he wouldn"t.
Thus, Uncle Dober hurriedly raised his hand and opened his mouth.
"Your excellency, if you are considering letting the young miss prove her words, it might be dangerous for her!" The fox smiled sweetly as if worried about Ainsley"s sake.
But his shaking palms gave it away, you know?
"If the young miss is truly lied to, lady Elliana might command the sacred guardian to harm her while she tries to tame the sacred guardian!" Uncle Dober pleaded once more.
He even bent his back and bowed so politely that his body might snap soon.
"Please reconsider, your excellency! If we put the young miss in danger, how can we face our ancestors? We can"t just let her into the danger only to defend this sinner!"
Uncle Dober lifted his head and looked at Grandpa Yofan with a face full of righteousness.
"Your excellency, I might sound rude, but please think for the young miss" sake. We can"t bet her life just to save a sinner! We can"t betray the family head!"
Uncle Dober cried out. He spoke as if letting Ainsley tame Cellino in front of them was akin to murder the la.s.s, thus leading to a serious betrayal.
If Grandpa Yofan insisted on letting Ainsley take the risk, others would view him as a vicious elder that wouldn"t hesitate to harm a baby and their family head.
Even if the old man trusted Ainsley, could her statement be authorised? No one could be sure whether Elliana manipulated the baby or not. After all, that lady is the closest aide of the baby!
Strangely, Uncle Dober"s sweet and righteous words managed to touch the guests" hearts, and they also thought the same thing.
"Right, your excellency, it"s dangerous for the young miss to stay close to the sacred guardian!"
"Isn"t it better to separate her? Where"s that beast? We have to separate those two!"
One of the four b.a.s.t.a.r.d family members made a vicious suggestion to separate Ainsley from Cellino, which got a warm response from the others.
"Yes, yes! Separate them! Protect the family head! All for the family head"s sake!"
"Isn"t it better to quickly punish that sinner so that she won"t have time to harm our family head?" One of the four b.a.s.t.a.r.d branch family members cried out, urging the ma.s.s to execute Elliana on the spot.
"We don"t need to punish her later. Just execute her now!"
"Indeed! She"s dangerous. What if she suddenly calls her sacred guardian and harms all of us?"
"Has she tamed the beast, though?" A doubtful guest raised an eyebrow at the others" provocative words. He realised that the people who urged the ma.s.s to execute Elliana were all from the four branch families.
He couldn"t help but smell something wrong here…
Of course, the members immediately retaliated.
"Even if that wench hasn"t tamed the guardian, if she has bonded with him, she can ask the beast to harm us, and we can"t even defend ourselves!"
After all, attacking the sacred guardian of their own family was akin to a betrayal. No one would want to do that unless they seek death.
Hearing the logical explanation, the doubtful guest nodded helplessly.
"I hope the supreme elder will be wise in his choice…"
No one could prove Ainsley"s words at the moment without taking the risk. But would it be worth it to risk their family head over a traitor?
No one would think that a toddler could tame a sacred guardian, anyway! Why would they risk the baby"s life by letting her tame the guardian?
Whoever had a rational mind would surely choose to stop the baby. She"s simply a victim and might be under Elliana"s manipulation.
The crowds grew even restless, and they started to beg Grandpa Yofan.
"Supreme elder, please consider!"
"Supreme elder!"
The ma.s.s pressured Grandpa Yofan not to let Ainsley tame the beast in front of them. After all, if the baby met a mishap right in front of their eyes, wouldn"t they also bear the guilt?
If other mafia families heard of this matter, they would be a laughingstock!
Thus, the majority of the crowds begged Grandpa Yofan to act wise. If the old man still insisted on letting Ainsley tame Cellino in front of them, his prestige and honour would be sullied for sure.
Others would see the old man as someone cruel and might suspect him of colluding with Elliana to harm the family head secretly.
Even if Ainsley successfully tamed Cellino, the crowds would still view Grandpa Yofan as someone without heart and didn"t care about the family head at all.
Grandpa Yofan...was unknowingly cornered due to his position!
