Chapter 1073 - 1072: Lord Si?
When the old Master Shepherd heard that the City Lord did not care about their past at all and directly intended to arrest him, he knew big trouble was coming and that this time there might be real danger. In a sudden move of desperation, he violently stood up, "Brigham Shepherd, am I not your cousin?"
"Uh..." For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the City Lord’s study. The City Lord’s childhood nickname was indeed Brigham Shepherd, and the old Master Shepherd truly was the City Lord’s cousin; he had even held little Brigham when he was just a child.
However, those were childhood days, and Brigham Shepherd was a thing of the past. Although some of the older folks still knew of the City Lord’s this nickname, who would dare to bring it up? Who would dare to utter it? Let alone in front of the City Lord himself.
In an instant, a murderous intent flashed in the City Lord’s eyes, and the whole room became chillingly cold.
Nevertheless, old Master Shepherd seemed to have thrown all caution to the wind. He took a deep breath and said, "That year, when you were seven years old, playing by the riverbank and caught in a sudden torrential rain and flood, who was it that rescued you from the raging river flow?"
"That year, when you traveled far and wide seeking mentors in the Immortal Realm, with no one in your corner, who secretly funded you?"
"That year, when you and your brothers fought for the position of City Lord, who ran around the city campaigning tirelessly on your behalf?"
"Yes, over these years you have taken good care of your cousin, but I dare say that, in all these years, your cousin has not wronged you either!"
"Brigham, please allow me to call you Brigham one last time. I am not belittling or mocking you, but as an uncle, I am begging you to spare your niece. She is your sister too. I can die, I can slit my throat right now and hand over my Nascent Soul to you, but your sister must not die!"
"Also, you need not investigate the Shepherd Family’s assets. Isn’t it enough if everything we have is given to you?"
