Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1693

Rowan's words got Atticus elated, for he needed an opportunity to get rid of the former.

If Rowan yielded, they could only restrain him and couldn't off him right there and then, but things were different since Rowan was resisting.

They could kill Rowan by accident during the melee, thereby undermining Sean's power.

With that, he shot his sons a hinting gaze, to which they understood. One of them instantly snapped, "How can you still be unrepentant when things have come to this, Rowan?! Need I remind you where we're at?! How dare you act disrespectfully in front of our ancestors! Yield, or we won't play nice!"

"Play nice?" Rowan cackled. "Ha! Who do you think you are to talk rudely in front of me?! Have you forgotten that I am from the senior branch of the Cosby Family while you guys are from the cadet branch?! You have no right to tell me what to do!"

"You arrogant fool!" The man hit the roof. "Guards, take him down!"

While ordering, the man clenched his fists, getting ready to smite Rowan during the commotion.

Meanwhile, the men surrounding Rowan closed in on him, getting ready to strike.

Suddenly, Rowan cackled. "Brother, are you going to just watch them bully me?!"

The others were rendered stumped, wondering why the man would still say something like that at a time like this, and lo and behold, Sean's face blanched the next second.

He seemed to have fallen into somewhat of a trance for a moment while a small bump gradually protruded on his forehead.

Then, as the bump receded, Sean's gaze gradually turned dull, and it seemed like he had lost his soul.

Meanwhile, the few men had already begun attacking Rowan, who continued to bellow, "Sean, are you not going to do anything?!"

Atticus' son, who snapped at Rowan earlier, cackled in response. "Do you think your brother will save you, Rowan?! You-"

Before he could finish his words, a figure charged into the circle, leading Atticus to widen his eyes with disbelief, for the man was none other than Sean himself!

As the patriarch of the Cosby Family, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Sean was mighty.

It had only been a moment since he stepped in, and those who encircled Rowan were booted away.

Seeing so, the crowd burst into a tumult, for no one had expected Sean to help his brother.

"Just what do you think you're doing, Sean?!" Atticus growled, his face grim.

Being controlled, Sean's countenance was stiff, and it wasn't after a while that he spoke up. "Rowan's my brother. I can't sit back and watch you people do this to him!"

"So what if he's your brother?!" Atticus frothed at the mouth. "He allied with outsiders to kill one of us. That in itself is already a violation of the Cosby Family's rule! Also, he's acting disrespectfully in front of our ancestors. Why are we not allowed to take him down?! Do you think you can make excuses for your brother just because you're now the patriarch?!"

"Rowan isn't entirely in the wrong," Sean retorted. "What he said was right. He ultimately had the family's best interests at heart, and his starting point was good. You guys can't treat him like this!"

Everyone was rendered flabbergasted at once, and Atticus flew into a rage even more so. "Have you gone mad, Sean?! You're the one who denounced him first, and now you're sticking up for him?! As the patriarch of the Cosby Family, how can you go back on your words like this?!"

Tristan, too, grew anxious. "Dad, what are you talking about?! He nearly killed me!"

However, Sean remained unmoved, bellowing, "Don't think I don't know you want to use this chance to kill my brother, you old codger! You want to get rid of my brother and me so that you can seize the patriarchal position. I will never let you have your way! Cosbys, kill this old codger! Kill anyone that gets in the way!"
