Chapter 25: A Farce
Anthony just glanced at Andres's expression and roughly knew what was going on. It is nothing more than a factional struggle within the family.
Anthony has never experienced these dark things firsthand. But as a nobleman, he didn't fall behind anything that he should know and learn. As long as there are more descendants of the family and a nobleman with a slightly higher title, there is no such thing as a stumbling block for oneself.
In fact, after carefully analyzing the composition of the Hilton family and the history of the rise of the family, anyone with a little knowledge can be sure that if they do not cause family infighting, it will be a strange thing.
The patriarch, Count Silvio, is not very good at running the family business, but he is not very good at his own strength. The former patriarch Andrés took the initiative to let Xian Er retire, not only does he have overwhelming personal strength, but his confidant will still occupy important positions in the family. It can be said that Andres is actually the emperor of the Hilton family, and what he says is more effective than the patriarch, Count Silvio.
To make matters worse, the earl's son, Viscount Owen, seems to have no intention of inheriting his father's business, and spends his days wandering around like a ranger, making friends with people of all kinds. Fortunately, although Owen is unreliable, the others of the third generation are even more vulnerable. However, people like Gabriel who lack self-knowledge are not alone, and they always have to jump out from time to time to brush up on their presence, hoping to squeeze Owen down and replace him.
Anthony believed that if it was not Owen who recruited him, but Count Silvio, even if they doubted their own strength, they would never and would not dare to openly attack this welcome party.
But no matter who they are targeting, using themselves as a tool to attack others is something that Anthony cannot tolerate.
"Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? Have you ever wondered what would happen to you if I were as strong as those 'supposed', rather than boasted? Anthony looked at Gabriel with a calm face, and his face turned pale with only three questions in a row.
Gabriel had a good skin, but his brain wasn't flexible. He dared to question Anthony almost directly, on the premise that none of this was true. He, like the vast majority of people, is more inclined to believe that Anthony is the "pseudo-strongman" arranged by Owen, just to increase the leverage of his succession as patriarch. It won't be long before this scene is over, and it is estimated that this "new star of the empire" will leave the family under the pretext of not knowing where to go.
At the end of the day, a sixteen-year-old silver fighter is too rare. And such a rare and supreme genius can actually be recruited back by the Hilton family, and this probability is infinitely small, approaching zero.
But looking at the face of this "pseudo-strongman", he was neither happy nor sad, with an icy expression, but he exuded an extremely dangerous aura all over his body. Gabriel only felt a chill in his heart and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
Anthony took two steps away from his seat, glancing the hall from left to right. When he swept to Andres, his gaze lingered for a moment.
"Originally, it was a very disappointing thing to make a fuss at this banquet specially designed for me. However, some people say and do things that make me very unhappy. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and get rid of some of the things that were in the way. ”
The hall fell silent for a moment, and all eyes were on today's protagonist. Everyone vaguely felt that there was something big about to happen next.
Anthony's eyes were fixed on Gabriel, and he said in a cold voice, "Attention all relevant and unrelated people, wait until I leave a mark on this fool that will last a lifetime." If you want to dodge, if you want to escape, if you want to intercept, I will give you time to prepare. After three counts, I'll make a move. ”
"Y-What do you want to do?" Gabriel said in a trembling voice. The teenager didn't look like a joke at all.
"One." Anthony ignored him, and counted aloud.
"Mr. Anthony, please be angry. Ignorance ...... child," his father, Alberto, stood up and persuaded. However, he didn't dare to step forward to stop him, so he only bowed his hand to the side.
"Two." Anthony didn't even look at him.
"Little one, don't be too presumptuous!" Andres finally spoke, his otherwise calm face showing anger, and his pale eyebrows raised like steel needles. At the same time, his body exuded a milky white fighting light.
Anthony finally reacted, and he turned his head to look at Andres, but there was a hint of mockery between his eyebrows.
"Three!"
As soon as the words fell, Anthony and Andres took off into the air at the same time.
Anthony's target is Gabriel, and there is a table between the two. Andres's target is Anthony, who is a little closer, but he doesn't have time to block it head-on, and he fights the idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao.
In the eyes of a master of their level, this distance difference is really nothing. Anthony was about to hit Gabriel, and Andres simply didn't have time to stop it. But it's almost impossible for Anthony to avoid Andres' backss after he gets the shot.
Only, why is Anthony hiding?
There was a soft crack, followed by a crack of bones shattering, followed by a loud crack.
Gabriel flew upside down and knocked down a table, castration, and then overturned the table and chair behind him before falling on his back. I saw that his body was covered with vegetable broth, and he was in a mess. The chest has a significant collapse, and the sternum and ribs are estimated to be quite broken. His face was pale, a mouthful of blood spat out from the corner of his mouth, and he had already fainted.
Fortunately, Anthony had spoken first, giving the guests enough time to hide, and there was no one at the nearby tables. None of the guests were injured by accident.
Look at Anthony again, after knocking out Gabriel, he immediately received a solid blow from Andres in the back. He followed the force and did a somersault forward, past Gabriel, who was lying on his back, and landed far on a table.
Andres didn't look at Gabriel on the ground, his eyes kept following the figure of the flying boy. From behind, it can be clearly seen that the shirt on his back has torn a large hole, revealing strong back muscles.
It was as smooth as ever, and there wasn't even a red mark left!
Anthony turned around, and also didn't look at Gabriel on the ground, only quietly looked at the former patriarch of the Hilton family, his eyes glowing with the ferocity of a beast.
"Old fellow, do you want to have a fight?"
The hall, which was originally dead silent, was in an uproar.
