Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 577: Brother

Seeing his son walk towards Alan, Roddy smiled bitterly. He knew his son best. During the three years he had been fighting in the Outer Realm, Reina had only one thought in mind. It was to be better than Allen, so that his father could value his affection. This was an incomparably pure wish, and it was precisely this wish that pushed Reina forward. Although he was his own son, Roddy didn't put any water in his mouth.

When he first entered Fierce Vulture, Rena started as an ordinary officer. By now, he was already a major capable of commanding a thousand troops. This was Reina's progress and his pride. He came back with this pride and obtained Horn's affirmation. Roddy knew that Reina couldn't see anything on the surface these past few days. However, his smile was much wider than usual. Tonight, when he saw Horn leading Alan around in front of the important people of the various clans, Reina felt unhappy again.

"This stupid child." Roddy drank all the wine in his glass.

"He is indeed a stupid child." At some unknown time, the graceful Hyderick walked over. Standing beside Roddy, he smiled charmingly, "Who doesn't know now that my father's favourite is this little fellow Allen? Reina still wants to provoke him. It seems like he wants to fight."

"What's a fight between brothers? Only in this way can we increase our emotions." Roddy chuckled dryly as he looked at Hyderick with a fierce gaze. "We used to fight too little, so you see, our relationship isn't necessarily that good. Hyderick, I heard you did something stupid. Fortunately, your father wasn't as angry as he was ten years ago. Otherwise, I would have beaten your handsome face up by now."

"Is that so? Dear brother, do you know what my father dislikes the most about you? Everything is settled with a fist, and now it seems that Reina has inherited that from you." Hyderick provoked viciously.

Roddy's smile became ferocious, and under the light, his face darkened, "I don't need my father to like me, Hyderick." I'm not like you. I've never considered what my father thinks of me. Even so, I don't feel sad that my father thinks I'm not fit to be the head of a family. All I have to do is to be loyal to my father and to my family. That's enough for me, and you. I can't help but warn you that I'm always delusional about getting more. If you do that again, even if father doesn't touch you, I will tear you to pieces and feed you to the dog! "

Roddy patted Hyderick on the shoulder and took a deep look at him. "Take care of yourself, brother!"

Hyderick's face was extremely gloomy.

'"Yes, we Allen are blessed generals. You see, Maine indeed has a good eye and wants to eradicate this good seedling in advance. But this little fellow has benefited from his misfortune and discovered a resource-rich planet like Planet Heaven."

Horn was introducing Ellen to a few of his friends. Those who could represent their families at this private banquet were all smart and exquisite. Seeing Horn approve of Alan like this, the gazes of these people gradually became eager to look at Alan. They were quickly assessing Allen's potential, including his future position in the Bescot family, to adjust their attitudes towards the young man.

Those two families that had young girls of the right age had even considered whether to propose a marriage alliance to Horn and trap this young man with boundless potential. Of course, that also meant that their clans would give Allen a certain amount of resources. Otherwise, how could they win over that young heart?

Someone had already started to ask Allen about some things, including whether he had someone he liked, and so on. Among them, there were well-informed people who knew that Alan and the Empress of Ada were close, so they naturally thought highly of this young man by 20% in their hearts. Allen answered the questions politely, and Dawn Blade's etiquette lesson finally came in handy.

Even though Alan wished he could find a chance to leave, there was not a trace of impatience on his face. He seemed to be playing another person, with a calm smile on his face, and he grasped the right balance to give people satisfactory answers one by one. Looking at him, Horn was filled with gratification. Of his four sons. Roddy's martial power was tyrannical, but he was too rough. Although he had a careful side, he was more likely to use it on the battlefield. His second son, Huck, was too weak to be used. Third Brother Bell was careful, and his martial skills were not bad either. However, his personality was too indifferent, and he was not interested in social occasions at all. Like tonight, he didn't show up; In the end, Hyderick Horn had once regarded him as his successor. But now, Hyderick's performance had already disappointed him.

Among the third generation, Reina was almost identical to his father. Regis wasn't as indifferent as his father, Bale, but the boy was devoted to martial arts. From the looks of it, only Allen had performed well in all aspects. However, he was still too old to meet the requirements of becoming the head of the clan in terms of Origin Energy. Moreover, he had an unavoidable problem, which was the Origin Energy Confinement. This was what Horn was most worried about. Perhaps it would ruin Allen's future because of the restriction that someone had placed on him.

After all, apart from being skilled in strategy, management, interpersonal relations, and politics, a clan's leader also had to be skilled in many other aspects. The most important thing was his own strength. In this era of high-level warfare, without the power to suppress a clan, how could they sit in this position? No matter how much Horn liked it, he wouldn't give his position to someone who wasn't even a ruler to inherit.

He looked at Alan with mixed emotions. At this moment, a figure stabbed in, and that sturdy and powerful body almost occupied Horn's line of sight.

"Rena?"

Alan also turned around and looked at Raynor, who was covered in a volcanic aura, "Big Brother Raynor?"

"Don't call me big brother. At the very least, I still don't recognize you as a brother!" Rena lowered his voice, like a deep thunderous roar.

The guests looked at each other and smiled. Wanting to see how Ellen would react to such a scene, Horn frowned and said, "Reina, you're drunk, aren't you? Hurry up and go back and rest. I don't see any guests here. Do you want everyone to see our jokes?"

"No, Grandpa." "I just want to confirm one thing," Reina said with unusual determination.

"What do you want to prove!"

"I want to confirm that he has the qualifications to be my brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of the surname Bescord!" Reina pointed at Alan.

Horn wanted to say something else, but Alan had already stepped forward and smiled. "How do you want to prove it?"
