Female Novel
Chapter 277 Leave With The Sword
Boom!
It was as if Old Master Quinn was struck by lightning as he was startled. Following that, the other party
ended the call and there was a humming tone. But Old Master Quinn was petrified and did not put
down the phone.
“Dad…” Morrison realized that something was wrong.
Clink clank…
Old Master Quinn’s body trembled and the phone fell from his hands onto the ground.
Suddenly, the bloodshot eyes became filled with tears. His face turned pale and his lips quivered as his
legs wobbled down to a squat. Old Master Quinn started to sob and whine.
This terrified Morrison and he asked, “Dad, say something, what happened? You’re scaring me!”
Morrison had always remembered his father as strict and firm. He had never lost control of his
emotions in such a manner. If outsiders knew that he as the head of the family could cry like a child, he
would become the laughing stock of the entire X city.
“Get out, get the hell out, and let me be in peace!” Old Master Quinn glared at Morrison with his tear-
soaked eyes and yelled.
Morrison was terrified, didn’t dare to ask any further, and rushed out of the room.
Thud!
Old Master Quinn sat on the ground under the dim lights, his tears continued to flow and his body
trembled.
After the door was closed, Morrison was unsettled and walked out in a daze.
As he reached the garden, a few brothers went over to him.
“Morrison, has father decided?”
“The deadline is here. What has he decided to do with Jack?”
“These few days everyone’s worried and the entire family is in a mess. I suggest that we eliminate Jack
once and for all!”
…
The brothers continued to babble noisily. Morrison was already frustrated and now his ears were
buzzing from their chatter.
“Shut the hell up!” His yell made everyone shut up.
Morrison took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and ordered, “Wait outside for father’s decision!”
At that moment, his emotions were stirring and his mind continued to replay the scene of his father’s
breakdown and cries. That made him unsettled and terrified. But now he was certain that the Quinn
family had been abandoned by Madam Hughes. Madam Hughes abandoned the cooperation at this
critical moment!
“This old hag is shameless!” Morrison cussed. That made the brothers beside him nervous and
horrified.
Time passed steadily. The night was cool and the breeze blew. The cool wind chilled Morrison and his
brothers. They felt that the wind was particularly bone-chilling.
Clunk.
Finally, the door opened slowly.
“Father is coming out!” Morrison’s eyes lit up and he hurried into the courtyard. The rest of them
followed closely behind.
Under the moonlight, Old Master Quinn cast a long shadow behind him. Morrison and the rest stoppednovelbin
and were startled when they saw Old Master Quinn.
Old Master Quinn’s hair was totally white as if he had aged ten years in a matter of a few hours and
looked visibly frail. Old Master Quinn’s hair was never totally white.
“Ha!” Old Master Quinn laughed bitterly as he looked at his sons. His swollen eyes still looked
determined and said, “Morrison, get me the sword that I use to practice with every morning.”
Boom!
It was as if Morrison and the others were struck by lightning and their expressions changed drastically.
Morrison’s expression suddenly had the same bitter smile as Old Master Quinn.
The others started to speak, “Father, are you …” They were terrified.
Because during the birthday banquet, Jack demanded Old Master Quinn to bring the sword and bow to
apologize to him. But if he wanted to fight with Jack, he would need a lot more than just the sword!
“Go!” Old Master Quinn yelled sternly.
“Don’t go, Morrison, the Quinn family can’t just give up!”
“Yeah! At the most, we’ll all slug it out with Jack! For father to bring the sword and apologize, what
would remain of our family’s dignity?”
“Father, don’t do that. We are the richest in X City. Even if Jack is Patrick Hughes’ son, we don’t have
to fear him so much!”
They fumed in anger. Even when they were building up the family business, they had never cowered in
fear. Their pride and dignity would not allow them to accept the humiliation! Even if it was about
apologizing, it should be others who came to apologize to them.
“Shut the hell up! A bunch of useless good for nothings who only know how to complain and do
nothing!” Old Master Quinn stomped his feet angrily and the courtyard turned silent.
Morrison turned to leave and quickly came back with the sword. This was the sword used by Old
Master Quinn every morning for exercise. This sword was different than other practice swords. Its
edges were sharpened and could slice through a person like a hot knife through butter.
“Dad, have you really made up your mind?” Morrison hesitated. He felt the same way as his brothers.
But what he experienced these three days and understood Madam Hughes’ position on this matter, he
could only forcibly suppress his arrogance.
“Come with me.” Old Master Quinn said slowly.
His hazy gaze looked at the others and his trembling voice said, “If I don’t come back, the road ahead
for you all is long and arduous. You should cherish each other more in the future.”
Kaboom! What he said was terrifying. The Quinn second generation was dumbfounded. They trembled
as they faced Old Master Quinn with their eyes turned red and not knowing what to say.
“Morrison, you’re the eldest brother. You must remember what I said repeatedly.”
“Yes, father.” Morrison drooped his head.
They looked on as Old Master Quinn and Morrison drove away from the Quinn residence in the cover
of darkness so as not to alarm the rest of the family.
The wealthy families of X City suddenly erupted.
“Old Master Quinn and his eldest son Morrison left the Quinn residence!”
“Oh lord, will the Quinn family collapse in front of Jack?”
“It was like the birthday banquet? Did they leave with the sword? Is this the Quinn family that I knew?”
…
A flood of information bombarded the head of wealthy families in X City. Everyone was stunned.
When the Zhuge family found out that Old Master Quinn left the residence with Morrison, they became
excited and joyful.
“Jim, send out the instructions for the family to prepare. From tomorrow onwards, we must rise
immediately into the position of the richest family in X City!”
When he saw the old man declaring so cheerfully, it was difficult for Jim to conceal his excitement and
replied, “Yes, grandpa!”
“Hehehe … the Quinn family ran amuck in X City and now had shot itself in the foot.” The old man said
as he laughed heartily, “If my Zhuge family doesn’t gain the title of the richest family in this city, then
wouldn’t it be a disappointment to our ancestors and all of our time and effort?”
There was a huge upheaval in X City that night.
