Theodore came with a team of bodyguards in anger.
The bodyguards stood scattered and surrounded Ernest.
Theodore walked directly to the Fifth Elder and blocked in front of him, looking at Ernest coldly.
“Ernest, what are you doing? How dare you try to murder the Fifth Elder?”
Ernest glanced at the man who was half-dead on the ground and then faced Theodore with a distant gaze.
His thin lips parted, “Get out of my way.”
Theodore noticed Ernest’s grim face, his eyebrows furrowed.
“I am your grandpa, and also the head of the Turner family. I will never allow you to act in such a reckless way. Quickly stop it and leave. Don’t make me do something to you.”
Theodore tapped on the gun in his hand.
He was threatening Ernest.
Those bodyguards who followed him also got closer to Ernest, in an attempt to encircle him.
When Timothy Reid saw this, he was anxious.
At this time, he should go over to Ernest and protect him. But Ernest had told him to guard Stanford and the others without leaving so that nobody could take advantage of them.
So Timothy could only watch on the side.
But Ernest did not care and simply looked at Theodore coldly as usual.
He fiddled with the dagger in his hand and said, “It’s inevitable. Grandpa, let’s see who will win this battle.”
Theodore frowned even more and growled, “Are you trying to make a move at me? I am your grandfather!”
Ernest showed a more sarcastic grin.
He had never felt a grandfather’s love and kindness from Theodore.
If he did not have unique blood, he would have died at the hands of this so-called family.
“No matter who you are, you should not lay hands on my people,” he said.
He waved the blood-stained dagger in his hand.
With a cold smile, he said, “Grandfather, after you. This is my last respect to you.”
His gentlemanly and courteous gesture almost made Theodore jump in wrath.
Theodore scolded him, “Ernest, you must think clearly. Are you trying to make me your enemy?”
Theodore was the head of the Turner family who held the power of the entire family.
Besides this, he was Ernest’s grandfather. How could Ernest attack at him?
Hearing Theodore’s question, Ernest pursed his thin lips without speaking but he was clearly impatient.
Theodore felt a chill in his heart.
The Fourth Elder was dead while the Fifth Elder was badly injured. They were Theodore’s most important henchmen. However, Ernest handled them without any mercy.
Stanford and the other two who were seriously wounded not far away were surrounded and protected by Ernest’s bodyguards.
It seemed that Ernest was determined to confront the entire Turner family for these three.
Thinking of this, Theodore wanted so much to kill Ernest.
However, he held back his furor and tried to persuade Ernest.
“Ernest, you see what you should see in the vault, right? The Turner family and the Fraser family should not be friends but forever enemies. The disease that almost killed you was caused by the Fraser family. We must avenge for this. Besides, the cure is in the Fraser family residence. As long as we kill Stanford, we can attack the Fraser family when they are in a chaos. Then there is a great chance that we’ll win. With the cure, you’ll be saved and our future generations will no longer suffer from this disease. I am doing it for you!”
He sounded quite passionate and righteous.
But Ernest gave an even more sarcastic smile.
Was that so? Theodore just did these things for himself.
If Theodore got the antidote, he could make his close nephew take it. Then he could open the vault and control his nephew. By doing so, he would again become the real head of the Turner family.
More importantly, he would no longer be subjected to Ernest.
Ernest was fooled into entering the vault and reading all the information they had prepared for him. Though those grudges and feuds of the ancestors between the Turner family and the Fraser family were real, they were not enough to make the Turner family who valued interests to hold so much hatred towards the Fraser family.
The real reason was interests. Theodore just did it for the cure.
Ernest looked indifferent. “Cut the crap. Will you fight with me or let them go?”
Seeing him like this, Theodore stamped his foot and instantly changed his face. He pointed his finger at Ernest, “Ernest Hawkins, are you a member of the Turner family? You’re still choosing them over us? Fine, since you are determined to help Stanford, you are against the whole Turner family! Even if you are the heir, you don’t get to make this decision for the family. So…”
Ernest interrupted impatiently, “Do you want me to make the first move?”
Theodore got stunned and looked at the dagger in Ernest’s hand with dull eyes.
He could neither persuade nor threaten Ernest at all.
Although there was a cure for the genetic disease, nobody could ensure that he would be able to get the cure to remove the disease from future generations.
Before getting the antidote, Ernest was still the only one who could open the vault.
Since there was countless documents inside, even if he had people copy those contents non-stop for three to five years, he would only get part of the valuable information.
As for the herbs and other hidden information in those books, he would lose them forever.
So for now, Theodore could not afford to lose Ernest.
But he must kill Stanford.
Thinking about it, he took two steps backward and commanded with a cold voice, “Stop Young Master and kill Stanford Fraser at all costs!”
The bodyguards immediately dashed forwards to confront Ernest.
Ernest snorted and looked at them.
This was an expected situation to him.
When he saw the information in the vault, he guessed what Theodore would do. So before he brought his bodyguards to rescue Stanford and the other two, he had been prepared to fall out with Theodore.
A battle seemed to be inevitable.
From this day on, he would be completely cut off from the Turner family.
“Protect them well,” he ordered. Then he stepped forward and fought with the bodyguards of the Turner family.
The bodyguards surrounding Stanford and the other two got an order from Theodore and started to attack like crazy.
At this time, they all heard a loud voice.
“Stop it!”
