Chapter 315: Betrayal in the family
The atmosphere was quite suffocating and more than one person looked ready to hurl.
Old master Wang unfolded the piece of paper in his hands and looked around slowly at the members of the family that were gathered.
"Do you know what I am holding in my hands right now?"
Some people replied no, others shook their heads while most just looked on in confusion. One of them, Wang Tong thought to herself, ’we are not wizards, how are supposed to know what is written on a piece of paper we have never seen before?’
Old master Wang handed the paper to Bolin who folded it and held it tightly in his hands despite his mother looking at him with curious eyes.
"Each one of you here knows the values of our family." Old Wang said. "I would ask you to recite them but now is not the time. Right now, we are gathered here because a member of this family broke our most sacred code."
"Huh!" a gasp was heard in the room. The gasp was not the only reaction though, most were silent but the disbelief was shared.
The most sacred code of the family was never to betray each other and always protect one another. It was passed down from generation to generation which is why the Wang family was more united than most. No matter how many personal scrabbles they had, they never harmed each other and if one was in danger, all arose to defend that one individual.
It was their thing, all for one and one for all.
