Capítulo 206: Dinner (II)

Robert Lee settled back into his chair; his legs could no longer support him for much longer. A maid attempted to assist Robert, but he declined. He didn't want to appear weak in front of his sons and grandkids, even though his body was terribly fragile. Robert understood that his announcement would change the course of his family's future, and he had to convey it clearly and firmly.

"In my previous will, I stipulated that the heir must be capable of establishing a guild on par with the Five Pillars," Robert said in a soft voice, his face pale.

Everyone listened carefully, knowing that this was a pivotal moment in the history of the Lee family.

Robert continued, "I know it was too difficult to fulfill, but I hoped that at least one of you could achieve a quarter or half of what they have achieved. And what do I get? One of my grandsons died so tragically."

All the family members hung their heads in shame, especially William and Steve.
