Chapter 1218
“Rowan Craig.” Everett stared at him coldly and said, “I want to challenge you as a member of the Craig family.”
Right after he said that, all the bodyguards on the site. were shocked.
Even Rowan was in disbelief.
“What did you say? Are you challenging me as a Craig family member?” Rowan nearly chuckled. “Little brat, do you
know what you’re talking about?”
Zayn’s expression instantly darkened. “Mr. Craig, please remain calm!”
Yet, Everett ignored him. Instead, he stared into Rowan’s eyes unrelentingly.
He said, “I’m very clear about my actions. So, are you brave enough to accept?”
His words ticked Rowan off. He had an intense look and even seemed to be thinking in depth.
Ninian looked at Harold helplessly.
What did this mean? She did not understand at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid Everett just place a huge bet?
Harold’s expression was profound. He stared at Everett
and Rowan who were in a stalemate before he softly explained, “There’s a rule in the Craig family. When family
members have arguments or conflicts that can’t be resolved, they can challenge the other party. The two
individuals then fight a life–and–death duel. The winner will take everything from the loser, including his identity,
power, status, and so on.
“Rowan was kicked out of the Craig family, and his name was also removed from the family tree. Wherever he
goes, all the family members, including direct and indirect descendants, see him as a disgrace and a public enemy.
“Now, Everett is challenging him using the Craig family’s rule. This is to recognize his status as a member of the
Craig family. He’s taking him back before participating in the life–and–death duel.
“This is the bet that Everett has designed for Rowan, but Everett is putting himself on the line.”
Harold explained it clearly.
Rowan was now in Everett’s hand, but Rowan was still manipulating everyone else’s lives.
Even if Everett spared him, he might still kill everyone and destroy everything after he left.
No matter how they dismissed the crowd, it would be hard to avoid injuries and death.
On top of that, Everett was not willing to let him go.
He was a scourge regardless of whether Everett spared him or not.
Therefore, Everett made a pact of life and death with Rowan.
He tempted Rowan with the idea of returning to the Craig family and even made it possible for Rowan to gain
control of everything he currently held in the Craig family again. It shook Rowan greatly.
Once Rowan agreed to return to the Craig family, he would become an embarrassment to the family again if he
lost the duel. It would not matter even if he wanted to repent and take back his words.
Aside from other big upper–class families and certain powers that colluded with him currently, the bodyguards who
risked their lives for him would look down on him too.
He would be a real failure, and everyone would despise him.
Even if he could by some luck turn the situation around, he would still never get rid of his shame.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat would Rowan choose?
Would he really accept the challenge?
That meant giving up all his current advantages for the sake of his deserved identity.
The atmosphere became strangely silent. It was nerve wracking and suffocating.
A while later, Rowan finally chuckled in a low voice.
“Haha! You really are the little brat I raised for a few years! You know how to capture my heart!
–
“Is the prerequisite of this gamble to remove all the bombs?” Rowan knew almost all of Everett’s thoughts, but he
had to follow his steps.
Everett conspired openly. He did not hide his aim, but he would force you into agreeing.
“Okay, I’ll remove all of them,” Rowan said. “We will fight openly as members of the Craig family. I lost to your
father in the past, and now, I’ll make up for it with you, little brat!”
Everett looked extremely handsome and cold as he ordered, “Go and remove the bombs.”
Zayn glanced at him and gritted his teeth before he swung his arm. “Follow me.”
All the bodyguards around Everett left.
Rowan’s subordinates wore surprised expressions. Some of them even wanted to secretly attack Everett.
