Chapter 516 I Am The Law!


    Theybined their efforts to force the head of the family. At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall


    was tensed and could erupt at any moment.


    Patrick red ferociously at everyone present. At that moment, even those who were normally


    amicable revealed their true self.


    Suddenly Patrickughed heartily. Theughter was sinister and stunned everyone.


    “Alright alright, so all of you had considered for the Hughes family!” Patrickughed as if he lost his


    Brent.


    The next moment, Patrick turned serious and pped the table.


    Smack! The p was loud and explosive! “Let me ask what right do you have to force the head of the


    family?” Patrick red at everyone present, “Since all of you are so talented, then why do you want me


    as the head of the family? If this leaked out, wouldn’t this also cause the family to be a joke?


    Wouldn’t this be a greater joke than my son being disabled?”


    Madam Hughes’ pupils constricted and was so angry that her eyes almost rolled over.


    Carter and the rest of the people were stunned as the hall be dead silent.


    “Speak up! Weren’t all of you so eloquent a moment ago?” Patrick nced at the entire hall and


    continued, “All of you said that the Hughes family will be a joke because of my son. So if what you


    are doing now caused the family to be a joke, then would you be able to shoulder this?” Patrick’s words


    suppressed everyone present. No one dared to look at each other.


    On the other side, Killian lowered his head as he slouched.


    As a younger generation, not only was there a gap in the status, there was also a difference in


    generations. Any verbal retaliation should be done by the people of Patrick’s generation. People of his


    generation should not make a sound. They were unworthy from the standpoint of their background,


    status, and age.


    But then, there was a sh of impulse in Killian’s eyes. ‘Opportunity, this was an opportunity to force


    Jack to fall. If he were to fall, then I wouldn’t have to worry about thepetition from the younger


    generation!’ Killian thought.


    Killian was naturally intelligent and his abilities well surpassed everyone. With his unsurpassed


    shrewdness, he had always been outstanding among the younger generation. To him, the so-called


    status as a potential heir was immaterial. Even with the number of potential heirs, he reckoned that his


    chances of seeding were more than fifty percent.


    Then suddenly Jack appeared from the blue and shocked everyone with his rapid rise. How could this


    bastard have this opportunity to inherit the Hughes family? Just because he was the son of the head of


    the family?


    Each and every one of the elite generation spent years umting, training, and grooming before


    they are worthy to be named as a potential heir. So how could this unknown bastard swoop in and grab


    the position from them?


    Jack’s appearance had always bothered Killian, threatening his rise to the position of the head of the


    family. He had never felt so threatened before. If he didn’t capitalize on this situation to topple Jack,


    then he might never have the chance to rise up again.


    In the midst of the uneasy silence, Killian’s gaze focused and made his decision. His shrewdness and


    determination culminated in a bold decision!


    Killian stepped forward and immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Patrick’s cold gaze turned


    towards Killian.


    In full view of everyone, Killian knelt with a thump.


    “The head of the family is brilliant. Thew had always favored the majority. We decided to revoke the


    status of Jack for preventing the family from bing a joke. If you want to punish us for this decision,


    you will have to punish all of us.”


    “If we don’t revoke Jack’s status as a potential heir and if he ends up bing the head of the family,


    then Jack will be sitting on the wheelchair as he leads the Hughes family. Wouldn’t everyoneugh at


    us for being led by a disabled? Wouldn’t all the people ridicule us for being no better than a disabled


    person and being controlled by a disabled?”


    Kaboom! Everyone stared at Killian as he said, especially George, Ivy, and the younger generation.


    The younger generation had no right to speak during such a power struggle. What Killian was doing

    amounted to a great offense. Had this chap… lost his mind?


    Every elderly member of the Hughes family looked stunned at Killian. They were the same generation


    as Patrick and had broad authority in the family which was why they could form an alliance to rebel


    against Patrick. But how did this young fellow find the courage and confidence to do it?


    Jack red coldly at Killian. He grabbed the armrest tightly as the veins on the back of his hands


    started to throb. A fury started to rage within him and if it wasn’t for his self-control, he would have


    dashed forward and challenge Killian to a deathmatch.


    To think that someone could be so unscrupulous to such an extent just because of the position as the


    head of the family. Was it necessary for him to grasp this opportunity at the risk to his life?


    Only Madam Hughes and Carter looked at Killian gleefully. If someone of the younger generation was


    willing to risk it, then to them it was a great turn of events!


    Then, just as the mother and son wanted to capitalize on the situation, Patrick suddenly grinned, got


    out of his chair, leaned forward, and looked directly at Killian. They were barely a foot apart.


    Then Patrick spoke deliberately, “Killian, you are right, but you seem to mistake the meaning ofw!”


    ‘What?’ Killian’s expression was full of surprise.


    The next moment, Patrick waved his hand and then smack! A strong pnded on Killian’s face. The


    kneeling Killian was pped so hard that he flew backward. Half of his face immediately swelled up


    and spit out a mouthful of blood. Killian was shocked and he struggled but couldn’t get back onto his


    feet.


    Almost at the same moment, everyone gasped in horror. Madam Hughes and Carter who were secretly


    celebrating a moment ago were now pale in their faces.


    Then Patrick suddenlyughed, “In the Hughes family, as the head of the family, I am thew!”


    “You said that thew would favor the majority but you didn’t ask me if I would favor the majority!”


    “As long as I am in this position, I have the final say in the Hughes family. So, I am thew of the


    Hughes family!” His voice was thunderous and forcibly hammered his point onto everyone’s ears and


    into everyone’s hearts. It caused everyone’s hair to stand, tremor, and tense up.


    “There are no family rules on revoking the status of a potential heir due to disability. If you were to use


    this as a reason, then it would be the greatest injustice!”


    Patrick grabbed the nk memorial tablet and smacked it onto the table and dered, “I know that you


    think that I’m doing this to grab onto the authority but let me tell you that the head of the family is based


    on abilities. The potential heir to the family is also based on abilities. If he can bring the Hughes family


    to greater heights, so what if he is sitting in a wheelchair?


    “If an able-bodied head of the family is unable to bring us to greater heights, then what difference is he


    to a mediocre person?”


    “This memorial tablet is here. If anyone else wants to debate further on this, then tonight I will invite him


    to join the ancestors in the ancestral hall and ask them about this logic for himself!”


    His statement was tant, threatening, and direct. It was like a cold wind from the artic, frosty and


    chilling to the bone…
