Chapter 623
His eyes were ice-cold!
His murderous aura filled the room!
Philip kept staring at Canon, approaching him one step at a time. He grabbed Canon by the cor and
lifted him from the ground, saying coolly, “Since you don’t care about your own life, Canon rke, why
do I think I would care?”
Canon looked up, blood leaking from his mouth. He said wildly, “Haha, don’t sound so scary, Phil. If you
really have the balls to do it, you would have done it by now. You’re just trying to scare me. As if you
actually dare to kill me! Would you really be willing to give up your inheritance?”
Canon’s bluster came directly from his knowledge of the family rules.
He knew that members of the family were not allowed to kill each other!
“Do you think I care about the family rules?”
Philip said all of a sudden, his eyes filled with a brutal bloodlust!
Ba-thump!
Canon shuddered when he saw the look in Philip’s eyes. Stuttering slightly, he said, “W-What are you
doing?”
Philip responded with a punch right into Canon’s gut!
That single punch sent Canon’s innards into an upheaval. He vomited a torrent of blood!
Bam!
Philip then kicked him one more time!
The kicknded on Canon’s stomach. Add that to the previous kick, and Canon had broken five or six
ribs!
By now, Canon was lying on the ground like a dead dog. It hurt to even talk, and every time he panted,
he could taste blood.
“Y-You… can’t kill me! I’m the sixth young master of the branch family!”
Canon forced the words out through his teeth, watching in horror as Philip stalked toward him, his
expression cold and his fist clenched.
Right now, Canon finally smelled death in the air!
Philip really did dare to kill him!
“Canon rke, you hurt my wife and my daughter. You challenge my limits over and over, so even if
you are an heir to the branch family, I will kill you today. No one can save you!”
Philip said coldly, swinging his fist!
That punch was a culmination of his overflowing fury.
Canon’s pupils dted and he watched as that clenched fist approached his face. He wailed, “Grandpa,
save me! Save me!”
All of a sudden!
A cold voice barked from the door!
“Stop! Who dares hurt my grandson!”
An old man in a gray suit suddenly appeared at the vi door, with more than ten bodyguards standing
at attention behind him. All of them looked at the scene in the living room, unblinking.

The old man had white hair, a frosty expression, a hooked nose, and a sharp gaze. He held his hands
behind his back, looking imposing in his silence. He had the air of a long-time ruler.
Also, Giada Wallis was standing next to him!
She wore a long white gown and held a royal Persian cat with heterochromia in her arms. There was
the ghost of a cool smile ying on her lips.
Philip’s fist froze in mid-air. The moment he turned around, he saw that old man.
Canon was ted to see that old man. He thought he was saved, so he yelled at the top of his lungs,
tears and snot flowing freely. “Grandpa, you’re finally here! Quick, you gotta teach this trash a lesson!
He hit a fellow family member and even tried to kill me! You must punish him severely, Grandpa! In fact,
get all the elders from the enforcement hall to strip him of his status!”
Canon wailed, full of emotion.
“Philip rke! How dare you break the rules right in front of me! You’re disrespecting the family rules
and harming your own family! ording to the rules, you should be kicked out of the main family and
disowned!”
The old man held his hands behind his back, ncing at the battered Canon on the floor before
addressing Philip coldly.
That cursed Philip, how dare he so grantly flout the rules! He was tantly disrespecting his great-
uncle here!
Philip frowned deeply. He never expected someone from the enforcement hall to appear here at
Riverdale!
He then nced at Giada. Was it because of what happened with Uncle Tim?
“What’s the matter? Shouldn’t you greet me, Philip?”
Gerard rke said without warmth, his hands still behind his back and his expression full of ice.
He was a representative from the rke family enforcement hall!
There were ten members in the enforcement hall, all carefully chosen from the main and branch
families. They were all influential elders from within the family who followed the family rules to the T!
At the same time, they represented the family’s image and influence to some extent.
That was why most members of the family were terrified of them like mice afraid of cats.
Just the slightest vition of the family rules could result in three months of solitary confinement!
Solitary confinement under the rke family enforcement hall was nothing short of a nightmare.
“Great-uncle Gerard.”
Philip raised his brow but eventually greeted Gerard anyway.
Only then did Gerard walk in. He looked at Canon, who was still lying on the floor, and then turned to
Philip, his voice icy. “You hurt a member of the family. Do you still remember the seventeenth family
rule? Are you reciting the rules every day?”
Philip’s gaze gradually grew colder as Gerard pressed him forcefully.
This old man was clearly trying to use him of a crime, by hook or by crook.
“Won’t you ask me why I beat him up, Great-uncle?”
Philip asked coldly, fury ring in his chest.
Fury aimed at Gerard rke.
