King's Awakening

Chapter 433: 433: Who is the clown?

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Who is the clown?
Eli’s words immediately put Sherry Jones in the eye of the storm, and the crowd’s gaze towards her began to become strange.

Obviously, the head of the new house just took her place, barely had time to settle down, and she already started challenging the old members.

This is not a good sign.

If handled poorly, it could invoke fear among members of the third branch and provide outsiders with a chance to exploit.

The Jones family now seems calm on the surface, but the undercurrents beneath the surface are unknown to many.

If Sherry causes the dissolution of the Jones family because of this, then she will indeed become the eternal culprit of the Jones family.

The crowd knew this, and Sherry was naturally aware.

Instantly, Sherry glared at Jonah Jones and asserted, “You can’t accuse me falsely. If you want to intimidate me, come at me directly. This has nothing to do with my brother!”

“Hehe… who’s falsely accusing whom? I’m just kindly reminding you. However, Sherry, you assumed the role of the head and tried to oppress others. Who’s trying to intimidate whom? Isn’t it obvious?” Jonah Jones replied, unrelenting.

“You!” Sherry was stumped and her face turned livid with anger, her body even trembling slightly in response.

At that moment, White Mitchell gently patted her shoulder, giving her a comforting look: “Leave it to me.”

“Brother, but they…” Sherry was full of worry, concerned that White would offend Jonah and others. After all, she had just arrived at the Capital City and could not protect White from any transgressions against Jonah.

If Jonah and the others took brutal actions against White out of humiliation, her coming to Capital City would be the biggest mistake.

If White were to get hurt due to this, she would never be able to live in peace for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Sherry was even considering giving up her new role and returning to Sayon.

However, before she had time to speak, White had already walked up to Jonah.

“Do you think I’m acting oppressively?” White asked Jonah with a calm expression.

Jonah sneered upon hearing this, and then replied with a mocking tone: “Isn’t it obvious? Don’t think that just because your wife became the head, you can act recklessly, disregarding us members of the third branch. We are also people, we won’t tolerate your…”

Crack!

Before Jonah could finish speaking, White neatly kicked at his knee.

In an instant, a sound of bone shattering could be heard abruptly by everyone present.

Hiss!

Jonah, whose knee had been kicked and broken, couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath. A throbbing pain spread throughout his body and his face instantly turned pale.

“How dare you! You even dare to assault someone here? Do you have no respect for the law?”

“Indeed, you’re absolutely insolent. The Family Head hasn’t officially announced Sherry as the head, and you dare to act this way?”

“Call the police, immediately call the police. We must have this lawless man arrested.”

The members of the third branch were all filled with righteous indignation, looking at White with hostility.

However, from beginning to end, White didn’t even give these people a glance. For him, these people were nothing more than irrelevant jesters.

“If you think I am acting oppressively, then yes, I am acting oppressively. What can you do anyways?” White said indifferently.

Domineering!

Arrogant!

These two words were the present feelings of everyone in the Jones family about White Mitchell.

This had exceeded their expectations to a considerable extent. They never imagined that a novice from Sayon would dare to disable Jonah, and he did it with such decisiveness.

“Ahhhh!!!! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!!!” Jonah, whose knee was broken, knelt on the ground, staring at White with a ferocious look, as if he wanted to swallow White whole.

But White couldn’t be bothered to spare him a second glance, and he directly spoke to the people behind Jonah: “I know what you want to do. You just want to take advantage of our unfamiliarity here, and our unsettled position, to make trouble.

Those who have this idea can come forward, I, White Mitchell, will take them all on.

But, before that, I might remind you that I’m not good with words. Before coming to provoke me, you’d better prepare for the worst. Otherwise, I don’t guarantee that next time I take action, it will be as light.”

Is this called light?

The crowd was dumbfounded. Wasn’t it enough to disable someone and call it light? If he went all out, wouldn’t that mean killing the person?

While the crowd was still at a loss, White continued: “Of course, we didn’t come to Capital City to make trouble. For those who are honest and want to work hard for the Jones family, we will surely not treat them unfairly.

Sherry and I have discussed that the current manager of the third branch is too old and outdated. He cannot keep up with the current pace, and it’s time for him to step down. Therefore, in order for the third branch to keep pace with the current Jones family,

we decided to promote a group of forward-thinking, ambitious, and energetic young people under the age of thirty to take control of some core businesses of the third branch. Everyone is welcome to participate. As for the benefits, you should know better than me.”

With that, White turned around, taking Sherry with him, and walked towards Andrea Jones, who was watching the drama from a distance.

At this moment, after listening to White’s words, the few original direct descendants of the third branch who were initially behind Jonah started to look at each other.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense; he is just trying to mislead you. Once they successfully take over the third branch, would it be your turn to speak?” Jonah, in a pitiful state, said painfully.

However, at this point, many of the direct descendants of the third branch began to show signs of wavering.

“Uncle Jonah, even if they take over the third branch, there must be someone to do the work for them, right?”

“Exactly, the third branch’s business is neither large nor small. They can’t possibly do everything themselves. There always needs to be people running errands for them.”

“Uncle Jonah, you’ve been the chief steward of the third branch for so many years, and you’ve also benefited a lot from it, right? You should also let us, the younger generation, have a taste of it, right?”

You guys!

Jonah was so angry that he couldn’t catch his breath after hearing these words, and he immediately passed out. The moment he passed out, he still couldn’t figure out, how he had become the jester himself?
