At this time, Holden was inside the ancestral hall, and he had placed the three incense sticks in front of his father’s own ancestral tablet.
Nearly a hundred Harker family’s ancestors were enshrined in the Harker family’s ancestral hall. Basically, only those who had made significant contributions to the Harker family would be qualified t o place their ancestral tablet here.
Amongst them, the person with the least seniority was Holden's own father.
Therefore, Holden paid his respects and placed the incense from the top to the bottom, and his father's ancestral tablet was the last one.
He had just inserted the three incense sticks that had been ignited into the incense burner, but before he could withdraw his hand from the incense burner, he heard his youngest son's shout from outside the ancestral hall. He was startled for a moment, and he accidentally broke the three of these incense sticks all at once. 3
When Yashita, who was aside, saw this, she hurriedly asked with concern, "Dad, are you okay?!"
Holden closed his eyes, and he was silent for a moment before he let out a wry smile and said, "I'm fine. It's not entirely unexpected for your eldest brother to do such a thing.”
As he spoke, Holden said emotionally, "To borrow a famous saying from a great man, if something is bound to happen, even if you try to stop it, it cannot be stopped. Let him go.”
Yashita wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words when it came to the tip of her lips.
Her eldest brother was bringing forty to fifty family members away with him this time. This was equivalent to Yuvin taking half of the Harker family away. This would certainly be a major loss for the Harker family.
Although they insisted on leaving, if Lord Harker were to come forth, based on Lord Harker's majesty and strength, he would certainly be able to make all of them stay behind, even if it was by force. 1
Still, Yashita turned around and thought about it from another point of view.
'Since these people could be so easily tempted by money, what is the point of keeping them and asking them to stay?'
'If we ask these forty to fifty people to stay, this would be equivalent to keeping forty to fifty people with gunpowder packs which might explode at any time.’
'They would not be of any benefit for the future of the Harker family. Only more and more hidden dangers would be left behind.' 'On the contrary, if we can remove all of these members of the Harker family who are not good enough for the Harker family directly through the temptation of money this time, this is actually a good thing for the future of the Harker family.’
For Yashita, she knew very well that after the dramatic changes early this morning, the current Harker family was now very different from what it used to be.
"But..." Yuroy was anxious. “Sister, I understand all these so-called great axioms that you're mentioning. But as you have mentioned, if a lung tumor is found, w e can cut off a piece of the lung lobe. People have five lung lobes, so it'd not be a big impact to cut off a single lung lobe, but what if two or three pieces of the lung lobes have to be cut off, then? Wouldn't we have to rely on oxygen tanks to live in the future?"
When Yashita saw that Yuroy was being obstinate and opinionated, she instantly gave up on communicating with him normally, and she scolded him directly, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I asked you to go back and convey the message. So, you should just go back obediently to convey the message. Do you believe that I'll send you back there with a kick if you continue talking nonsense here?"
After she was done speaking, Yashita made a gesture a s though she was about to kick Yuroy.
Yuroy was originally planning to continue arguing with his sister, but when he heard this, he immediately gave up on this thought and hurriedly answered meekly, "Can't I just go now, then?"
After he was done speaking, he hurriedly ran back in a gloomy and dejected state.
At this time, the forty to fifty people from the Harker family, who were all willing to follow Yuvin to
Sudbury, had already begun loading their luggage into the bus.
Amongst them were Holden’s second brother, who was Vovin's second uncle, and his whole family. There was also Vovin's younger brother, Vugin and his whole family, and also Vovin's cousin-uncle, who was none other than Holden's cousin brother and his whole family. 10
