Chapter 310
Xander suddenly coughed and his face turned dark.
Katherine, on the other hand, acted like she didn''t see that. Standing in front of the funeral hall with her
tall slender figure, she curved her lips up mockingly and raised her beautiful eyes that were filled with
coldness slightly.
"My grandma told me that in Kynd, there''s a fly called the Moran Family. They shamelessly pester
and disturb her. But she''s too nice and didn''t want to cause a scene, so she had always been tolerating
them. I, however, am different. What I hate the most is being pestered by people and I don''t have the
best patience. So, if you''re not going to leave today and insist on looking for trouble, then don''t me
me for being rude."
She drawled out the words steadily and calmly, but in the ears of the members of the Moran Family, it
felt like an invisible pressure had fallen on them.
Xander gritted his teeth as a cloud of darkness swept over his wrinkly face, and his eyes were filled
with menace.
"Fine, you foolish girl. Since you refuse to listen, then don''t me me for not holding back! You want us
to leave? Sure. You just need to hand over the secret scroll your grandma left behind and we''ll leave
immediately and not pester you anymore!"
When Katherine heard the words ''secret scroll'' being mentioned, anger shed in her eyes as her aura
dropped in temperature so much that it could make ice.
Ha! These people finally couldn''t hold back and showed their true colors!
She didn''t reply immediately, but the look on her face changed slightly. It wasn''t an expression of anger,
but it seemed like she didn''t understand what he said as she furrowed her brow with a questioning
look.
"Secret scroll? What secret scroll? Are you out of your mind? It''s not umon for people to get hazy
in their minds when they be older. You should go visit a doctor soon. Don''t wait until dementia
catches up on you. Then, it''ll be toote."
Xander''s face was as ck as coal as he pulled a long face.
Beside him, Mason couldn''t take it anymore as well and tore down the thin wall of politeness as he
pointed his finger at Katherine and scolded her.
"Stop acting like you don''t know anything! That old hag had the Scroll of Ancient Medicine Techniques
that the Scott-Tutton Family had passed down through generations. Now that she''s dead, how could
she not pass it down to you? Are you trying to fool us? In your dreams! I''m warning you to hand it over
while we''re still willing to talk nicely. Or else! I don''t mind making things tough for you."
As soon as he was done speaking, Joaquin stepped forward, shielding Katherine behind him, and
pped away Mason''s hand before she could respond. His eyes were as still and cold as the winter
lakes.
He snickered and the tip of his tongue touched the top of his pte. "Make things tough? Ha! We''ll see
who will make things tough for who!"
As he didn''t hold back his strength and Mason wasn''t expecting the push, Mason stumbled back and
almost fell.
Melise, who had been watching from the sides, immediately helped steady him and couldn''t help but
chip in.
"What are you doing? We''re here to take back what belongs to the Moran Family! There''s nothing
wrong with that. Are you trying to keep it for yourself if you''re not handing it over? Are you not
ashamed?"
Hearing that, Katherine was outraged, but sheughed instead.
"Ashamed? Now, we should be clear about who''s the one having no shame here. As you mentioned,
this secret scroll was passed down through generations in the Scott-Tutton Family. Since when did it
belong to the Moran Family? Who''s the one trying to keep it for themselves here? So, what is it now?
You even brought your whole entourage here. Are you trying to take it by force? Aren''t you afraid of
tarnishing your family''s reputation when word gets out and bing theughingstock of many?"
Xander was nonchnt and acted matter-of-factly.
"Even if it was passed down through generations in the Scott-Tutton Family, Jennifer changed herst
name to Moran when she took refuge in the Moran Family back then. So, the things that she brought
with her should naturally belong to the Moran Family!"
Katherine''s face became chilly when she saw how shameless they were being. "Allow me to remind
you all once more. My grandma''sst name isn''t Moran. It''s Wood. All of her belongings have nothing
to do with the Moran Family! Don''t think that I don''t know what you all did to her back then. You let her
into the Moran Family because you only wanted the secret scroll that she owned. You revealed your
true colors when she didn''t want to hand it over. That was why she cut off ties with the Moran Family!
Ha! I don''t mind telling you that the secret scroll is indeed in my hands. However, since Grandma didn''t
give it to you back then, I will never hand it over as well! Now if you know what''s good for you, you''d
better get lost immediately!"
Jennifer''s passing had already put Katherine in a bad mood. Now that she was forced to deal with
these people from the Moran Family, her patience was running thin. She even dropped her smirk and
looked at them with a stony face.
At first, she didn''t want to create a scene at her grandma''s funeral. Thest thing she wanted was for
something to happen in front of the funeral hall. So, she wanted to get rid of these people as soon as
she could.
However, now that she had seen how shameless they could be, she knew that they would not leave
until they got their hands on the secret scroll. So, she decided to drop all pretense of politeness.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
The three people from the Moran Family noticed Katherine''s change in attitude and their faces fell
terribly.
"Fine. Since you''re being so dense, don''t me me for ruining your grandma''s funeral hall. I hope that
she''ll suffer in hell!"
With that, Xander stomped his walking stick on the floor before ordering loudly, "Search the ce! Flip
this ce inside out if you have to and look for the secret scroll. If you can''t find it, smash the ce. If
you still can''t find it, knock these two out and bring them with us!"
The few burly men behind him stepped forward at his order, wanting to charge in.
Katherine''s pupils dted instantly at the scene as anger enveloped her body.
Beside her, Joaquin held his calm and stepped in front of her as he said in a deep tone, "Leave it to
me."
She frowned as she recalled he just had surgery not long ago. So, she pulled him behind her. "Don''t
worry. I got this."
The corner of her lips curved up once again as wrath shed in her eyes. "I can take down these few
people."
Just when she was about to make a move, in the blink of an eye, an unfamiliar but loud and steady
voice rang.
"Hold your horses!"
The voice was so sudden that it stopped everyone in their tracks.
People turned their heads to see a ck stretch Lincoln limousine parked not far away and a middle-
aged man getting out of the car.
The voice from just now seemed toe from him.
At the same time, he wasn''t the only one who got down. Behind the limousine were a few more cars
and four men dressed in ck came out of the cars respectively. They all looked buff. It was obvious
they knew martial arts.
Katherine stared at the leading man and felt that he looked familiar but couldn''t recall where she had
seen him.
As for the three people from the Moran Family, their eyes widened in unison and their faces changed
dramatically when they saw the man.
Mason gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words from his mouth with much effort. "Josiah Grant! It''s
you?"
