Chapter 109: No Need to Kneel Before this Old Immortal!
“Driver, please stop here.” While still some distance away from the Coopers, Mori Jones requested the taxi to stop.
White Mitchell then followed Mori Jones out of the car.
As soon as she got out of the car, Mori Jones looked at the brightly lit Cooper residence with a complex expression, her face filled with despair.
“White, you should go back. I will enter alone. Even if the Coopers cause trouble, they shouldn’t harass a woman like me,” Mori Jones said, trying to deceive herself.
Actually, she knew very well that the Coopers had probably already set a trap within the villa, just waiting for White Mitchell to walk right into it.
But Mori Jones really didn’t have the heart to drag White Mitchell into this. After all, anyone who can command Longman is no ordinary person; they must be an influential figure in their circle.
Dealing with such a person is like negotiating with a tiger — even if the person owes White Mitchell a favor, they definitely wouldn’t endlessly keep helping. There must be a limit.
Once this favor is used up and they no longer have White Mitchell’s back, all those White Mitchell has offended in the past, will likely swarm in for revenge.
Besides, White Mitchell himself still has to deal with the Imperial Group. He can’t waste this favor on her.
Otherwise, how would White Mitchell resist the blocking efforts of the Imperial Group?
But she had no idea, that from the beginning to end, White Mitchell never took the Cooper family seriously.
At this moment, he led the way, walking straight toward the Cooper family villa.
Alas…
Upon seeing this, Mori Jones felt terribly guilty and could only steel herself to follow and continue to persuade him.
However, White Mitchell did not listen, instead stubbornly proceeding onward.
When he reached the entrance to the Cooper villa, he glanced at Mori Jones,
“This is the place, right?”
“This…sigh…”
Mori Jones sighed heavily. At that moment, a group of fierce and menacing bodyguards emerged from the Cooper villa. Each one was tall and powerfully built, clearly not to be trifled with.
“Finally decided to show up? Come in, the old master is waiting for you both,” the leading bodyguard of the Cooper family’s clan sneered, his words filled with disdain.
Clearly, he recognized Mori Jones.
Upon hearing this, Mori Jones’ face immediately became serious, and she quickly positioned herself in front of White Mitchell, protecting him behind her as they slowly walked into the villa.
Soon after, both reached the central hall of the Cooper residence.
Alongside the direct descendants of the Cooner family in the hall were about twenty or thirty solemn-looking bodyguards.
Seeing this, Mori Jones felt a pang in her heart, her mood sinking to the very bottom.
She silently looked at Rhett, who looked as helpless as a quail. Immediately, a hint of helplessness surfaced on her face.
Next, her gaze landed on the stern-faced Elder Cooper Maddox.
With a ‘thump’, Mori Jones knelt in front of Maddox, pleading, “It’s all my fault.
It doesn’t have to do with White. I was the one who made him hit Connor. If the elder wants to punish anyone, punish me alone. Whether you wish to kill or flay, I have no objections. I just beg you to let White go.”
Humph!
On hearing this, Maddox snorted, a heavy look of disdain in his eyes, not taking Mori Jones seriously at all.
“Mori! What nonsense are you talking about!? It was clearly this kid who was reckless and beaten up Connor, don’t you try to shoulder this all alone! Have you considered the consequences of doing this?” Rhett hastily said.
Although there was a hint of concern for Mori Jones in his tone, he was more worried that Mori Jones’ words would drag him into the matter.
However, as soon as Rhett had finished speaking, Maddox shot him a displeased look. His gaze was cold, treating him as if he was a stranger. Then, Maddox coldly said to him, “Did I ask for your opinion?”
Upon hearing this, Rhett panicked and hurriedly admitted his mistake, “I’m sorry, Father. I spoke out of line. But I did this because I wanted to know the truth. I hope you can forgive me.”
Hmph!
At Rhett’s words, Maddox gave a cold snort and his expression turned even colder. His gaze then shifted towards White Mitchell, his icily saying, “So you’re the brat who beat up Connor?”
White Mitchell didn’t answer him. Instead, he silently walked over to Mori Jones, helped her to stand and calmly said, “My child, in life, one doesn’t need to bow to the heavens, nor the spirits, let alone bow to an ancient geezer like him.”
Whoosh!
As soon as these words were said, the nerves of the entire Cooper family tightened up, and their eyes all fixed onto Elder Cooper on his seat.
In their family, the person who dared to speak so rudely and disrespectfully to Elder Cooper was none other than White Mitchell!
The term ‘ancient geezer’, had abruptly turned the atmosphere icy cold.
A member of the Cooper family’s main branch immediately stood up, viciously exclaiming, “You insolent brat! Who are you calling ancient geezer? Believe it or not, I’ll sew your mouth shut!”
Facing the threat of the main branch of the Cooper family, White Mitchell’s face was still adorned with an air of unworried tranquility. He gingerly responded, “One who lives on without morality is a thief. Aged but devoid of virtue, he’s a curse upon his descendants. If he’s not an ancient geezer, then who is?”
Whoosh!
At these words, Elder Cooper, sitting in the head seat, was reddened with rage.
But White Mitchell’s words didn’t stop there. He carried on lightly, “This Cooper family doesn’t know how to teach their grandchildren properly, so I merely helped you with it. Can’t you even thank me?
This is the education of the Cooper family?
Today, I was really enlightened. What a family of ancient geezers!”
Hiss!
Upon the conclusion of his words, everybody in the Cooper family couldn’t help but inhale sharply, instantly feeling a chilling sensation.
This young man really knows no fear, huh? He dares to say anything.
This is openly dismissing them and Elder Cooper!
Provocation!
Brazen provocation!
At this point, Elder Cooper was boiling with anger, his face inflamed, and his old eyes were filled with a cold aura, resembling a venomous snake.
“Men! Immediately break his legs for me! Lock him up in the backyard! Flay him alive after three days!!!” Maddox could not control his anger.
No one had ever dared to speak to him in this manner, and no one had ever defied the power of the Cooper family.
White Mitchell was the first, and in his view, would ideally be the last!
If he isn’t flayed alive, the hatred in his heart will not be appeased!
Boom!
As Maddox gave his orders, the twenty to thirty bodyguards of the Cooper family rushed up.
Many even took out the clubs they had prepared earlier and swung them towards White Mitchell without a word.
Mori screamed in fright, her face turning pale. Although overwhelmed with terror, she chose to stand in front of White Mitchell.
Seeing this, Maddox instantly shouted furiously, “Don’t bother with her! If she dares to interfere, take her down too!
Today, even if God himself came, I would still break this kid’s legs! I want him to know the consequences of crossing the Cooper family! “
