Ji Qiu and Ji He stood at the most forefront. No matter how arrogant they were usually, they also had to tame down in front of Ji Ru.
“Father,” Ji Qiu took a glance at Ji Fengyan at the side, then bowed politely to Ji Ru.
Ji Ru nodded slightly, then lifted his hand at Ji Qiu and Ji He.
“Both of you come forward.”
Ji Qiu and Ji He took a step forward after hearing that. Before they could understand what Ji Ru wanted to do, Ji Ru continued to speak.
“Kneel.”
“Wha... what...” Ji Qiu’s eyes instantly widened and Ji He was even more in shock.
“I said, both of you kneel.” Ji Ru slightly narrowed his eyes and a sharp gaze flashed across his eyes.
Ji Qiu’s face instantly turned sheet white and the fist he had at the side of his body was clenched tight. However, even him who was older than 40 years old and been the temporary family head for some time had to kneel in front of Ji Ru under everyone’s shocked gaze.
Seeing that Ji Qiu had knelt down, Ji He did not dare to disobey and knelt down with a thud.
The two of them had a high status in Ji family, but one sentence from Ji Ru, and they had to kneel without moving. Even between father and son, it was possible to tell that Ji Qiu and Ji He had been born fearful of their own father.
When Ji Ru was a child, he displayed his talent in sorcery. Ever since he was a youth, he was already a reputable talented sorcerer in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. After taking over the role of Ji family’s head, he did not become lax on his sorcery. Instead, because of sorcery, he had spent less time with his children. Even the eldest son Ji Qiu still could not tell Ji Ru’s personality and only knew that Ji Ru did not like to manage Ji family. But so long as he opened his mouth, no one dared to talk back.
“Fa... Father...” Ji He was the most afraid of Ji Ru. Now that he was kneeling in front of Ji Ru, he no longer had his usual slyness and tricks. Instead, he looked like a child who was extremely scared.
“When I left the house, how did I instruct you guys?” Ji Ru said with a straight face.
Ji He lowered his head and did not speak. Ji Qiu, who was beside him, spoke with his fearful face. “Father has instructed me to protect Ji family and its peace with my role as the temporary family head.”
“Good, it seems that you remember very clearly.” Ji Ru nodded. Even though he said “good”, there was no sign of happiness on his face. “You remembered everything clearly. But why is it that what you have done was completely different from what I have instructed you?” Ji Ru’s voice suddenly became cold.
Huge beads of sweat instantly rolled down the side of Ji Qiu’s forehead. “I don’t dare to do that.”
“Don’t dare?” Ji Ru grunted. “All the tricks that you had done behind my back for all these years, and you think that I don’t know about them? It’s just that you guys are too greedy. After Ji Yun died, Ji Fengyan is Ji family’s terminator. Ji Qiu, as the temporary family head, not only did you not support Ji Fengyan in becoming a terminator, you even made things difficult for her. Did you really think that anyone could be a terminator?”
Ji Ru’s voice was beyond cold and exposed the pretense that Ji Qiu had put on in front of everyone, without leaving him any face.
Ji Qiu trembled as he knelt on the ground. The fear that he had for Ji Ru swallowed everything.
“Since you cannot be the temporary family head, you shall not be it anymore.” Ji Ru lifted his hand slightly, but he had already removed Ji Qiu of the most important position.
