Chapter 1696
Atticus and his fellows were overjoyed when they saw this.
In addition, Atticus even immediately cforth and shouted aloud. "How dare you, Rowan?! How dare you use
this kind of nefarious voodoo to control Master Cosby and issue the House Order Tag! What you're doing now is
simply using the House Order Tag without authorization! Are you even aware that your action means capital
offense?! Somebody cand helpexecute this b*stard based on the Cosby Family's rules!"
However, everyone just stared at each other. They were clueless on what they should do for a moment.
After all, Sean was the one who was really in charge of all affairs in the Cosby Family now. Sean still held the
House Order Tag in his hand, so no one dared to say anything, considering that he had yet to announce his
decision.
In the meantime, Rowan was already trembling with fright as he collapsed to the ground. He was too scared to
utter a word.
The invisible centipede was both his last resort and his final trump card.
He knew that he was over now that even this trump card was lost.

Seeing that no one was taking action, Atticus immediately gave several people around him a look, signaling
them to kill Rowan.
Now was a once-in-a-lifetopportunity for Atticus to kill Rowan, for it was only through Rowan's death that he
could greatly weaken Sean's power.
In a swift, Atticus and several of his cronies launched their attack. One after another, they charged toward Rowan
in an attempt to kill him.
Rowan counterattacked with all his might. Still, with his average strength, he was no match for these people at
all.
As a result, Rowan was knocked to the ground within minutes with both his arms fractured.
Meanwhile, Atticus’ eldest son stood behind Rowan and secretly launched his attack. In split seconds, he struck
Rowan's spine with a heavy blow.
Screaming in pain, Rowan immediately fell to the ground. He spat out blood and could no longer get up.
When the others saw this, they also wanted to attack Rowan. However, a weak voice abruptly sounded just when
they were about to take action. "Stop!" Everyone was startled after they heard the sound of the voice. One by
one, they looked up.
At that moment, they saw an old man with gray hair standing by the entrance. He was walking in with the help
of someone.
Instantly, Atticus’ facial expression changed. While cupping his hands, he immediately greeted the old man,
"Wilfred, w-what are you doing out here?"
Likewise, the rest of the Cosby Family were looking at the old man with respect when they saw him. One after
another, they bowed and respectfully called out in unison, "Old Master Cosby!"
The old man was none other than Wilfred Cosby-the most prestigious figure in the entire Cosby Family as well as
the true commander of the Cosby Family!
Even the arrogant Atticus who dared to confront Sean instantly cowered when he saw Wilfred.
Wilfred's prestige in the Cosby Family was completely far beyond their reach.
With the help of several people, Wilfred walked to the middle of the inner courtyard with much difficulty.
Rowan collapsed to the ground while spitting blood out of his mouth. His face was totally scrunched in pain as he
looked up at Wilfred with much difficulty-a pleading look filled his eyes like he was seeking mercy from God.

After his spine was fractured, Rowan basically lost his mobility.
In the meantime, the ones who injured Rowan earlier all had a slight fearful expression on their faces. They were
worried that Wilfred would prosecute them.
Standing beside Wilfred, Atticus whispered, "Wilfred, what Rowan did was simply outrageous and profane_"
Before Atticus could finish saying his words, Wilfred waved his hand and sighed. "Need not say further. | know
what happened. He has no one but himself to blfor his tragic ending today, so he deserves such a
punishment for everything he has done!"
After hearing that, Atticus breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, he was still worried that Wilfred would pursue
this matter.
Then, Wilfred walked up to Rowan and sighed in disappointment. "Rowan, you said that Sean doesn't want to
avenge you, but did you even realize that Sean has his own difficulties that he's reluctant to mention?! Sean is
the head of the Cosby Family. That means he eventually has to take the overall situation into consideration for
each and every action he takes. You were wrong to forcibly stand up for others in Stonedale in the first place.
Don't tellthat you're planning on making Sean get even with Phoenix for the sake of this matter! Because if
you really do, then first off, not only will you get everyone into trouble with Phoenix, you'll even offend Levi.
Secondly, if this spreads to the public, they will only condemn us the Cosby Family for being arrogant and unruly
like a lawless barbarian."
