Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On Chapter 287 - Family Punishment

Chapter 287: Family Punishment

As Romo had made a clean and swift move, the few ‘loaded’ people in Koda’s group had their glamorous appearances torn off. The real “person” appeared in front of everyone.
Immediately after, Aki’s mother soon finished speaking. Then, she suddenly woke up and continued to kneel with a horrified and desperate expression.
She still could not move. Her body was so heavy that she could not lift her arms; it was as if she had been injected with cement.
Plop!
Two more people had knelt on the ground. They were Yaben’s parents.!!
Romo did not do anything to them, but the two of them were scared silly.
Their son had basically told everyone all the evil things their parents had done. At this moment, the two of them were pale and terrified.
Yaben’s father looked at Koda and begged helplessly in a trembling voice, “Dear father…, I…”
At this moment, Koda had also reacted. He did not look at his son but looked at Norton and stammered, “Cousin…”
Norton’s eyes were dark as he shouted, “Koda! Look at the kind of people you’ve taught!!”
Seeing Koda’s pale face, he did not show any mercy. He continued to question coldly, “Do you still remember the rules of the Nicholas family? How should we deal with this situation?!”
“Cousin…” Koda was horrified and begged repeatedly,” Cousin… Family Head! Please… at least spare the lives of Yaben and his father… ”
Norton no longer had any hope for him. He no longer revealed any facial expression as he spoke in a strained voice.
“You don’t have to beg me. Since you wish to join the Nicholas family, you have to obey the family rules. Leave their punishment to the Old Ancestor!!”
The family clan’s laws and punishment were all determined by the Old Ancestor?!
Koda could not understand for a moment. Was he saying that he would punish them according to the family rules?
However, according to the rules of the Nicholas family, what the father and son had committed… were all capital crimes!!
Moreover, the clan’s family rules were high and mighty. Even if they were to kill their clansmen… outsiders would not be able to object!
Koda opened his mouth to plead again, but his throat was instantly blocked. With a thud, he was pressed to the ground in a kneeling position!!
Norton, who was standing in front of him, had a change of expression. He immediately moved away to let the other party kneel directly before the ancestral tablet.
Norton looked respectfully at the ancestral tablet of the Old Ancestor. He saw the white-haired old man in his peripheral vision and sighed repeatedly in his heart.
It was the fault of the father if the son was not taught well. Regardless of whether his cousin knew about this or not, as an elder, he had been negligent and had neglected his duties. He would definitely not be able to escape punishment!
Ever since Norton was in charge, such a bad thing had never happened to the Nicholas family.
This was because he had always followed the family rules and was strict with the requirements. It was also because the family members had all been taught by example and had always inherited and passed down good family values.
After the Old Ancestor had appeared, the entire clan respected the family rules established by the Old Ancestor even more. They naturally did not have the heart to go against them.
The few batches of lost clansmen whom they had found later on were also benevolent and had all obtained the approval of the Old Ancestor.
However, for the ten plus clansmen who had taken the initiative to return to the family this time, he could already see some issues with them from the short interaction in the family’s conference room. In fact, he was also somewhat uneasy, and afraid that the Old Ancestor would be displeased…
Although he was worried, he had not expected these people to be so evil!
The Old Ancestor was currently furious, so Norton and the others naturally did not say anything. Since they had dared to do evil, they should not be afraid of retribution!
Among the people kneeling in front, there were two young men, a middle-aged man, and two women. All of them had done bad deeds!
“Father, Mother… there’s something evil here! Quick, save me!”
Yaben was horrified and did not understand why this was happening. However, the sudden sense of danger creeping up in his heart still made him subconsciously ask his parents for help.
In the past, no matter how big a mistake he had made, his parents would always help him. Time after time, he had already been completely used to having someone wipe his butt for him. Even if he had killed someone, his parents would still protect him well.
But today… even his parents had fallen into despair. Who else could he ask for help?
Yaben, who had been fearless since he was born, was really empathizing with those who had cried helplessly in the past. He was angry, desperate, helpless… and there was also lingering fear. He was fearful of death!
What had happened? How had things come to this? Didn’t he come to the Holy Light City… to enjoy himself?!
The prestige of the Nicholas family was huge. It was said that even the nobles of the kingdom had to ingratiate themselves with them. He was also from this family clan. Could he not go in and enjoy life?!
He had come over because he saw that the people here were good-looking. Along the way, he had already taken a fancy to many people. He had planned to choose a cleaner person first to take action…
Why was it different now from what he had thought? It should not have been…
Yaben’s eyes were listless, and he felt dizzy. He could not think anymore. His heartbeat became slower and slower… In the end, the next beat did not come.
He was like a real statue. He had no body heat or heartbeat as he knelt obediently.
Almost at the same time, his accomplice parents, his good friend Aki, and his mother had also lost their lives!
“Pfft—”
Blood spurted out from Koda’s mouth. His old eyes, which had been staring, became even more yellow. His entire back bent…
Then, a gust of wind blew in the ancestral hall and lit the candles which had been extinguished earlier. However, five of them which had snapped became exceptionally conspicuous.
These… had all been lit by Yaben and the others.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall had almost recovered. It seemed that the Old Ancestor had calmed down.
Norton sighed and stopped thinking about it. He summoned the clansmen outside to lead the seriously injured Koda and those shocked clansmen who had returned away. He arranged for them to be settled down. As for the stiffened corpses, they were all moved away in the end.
No one had expected that the lost clansmen, whose return they had happily welcomed, had actually ….in the ancestral hall… Sigh.
Everyone was not in the mood. The planned celebration banquet did not proceed.
Apart from the clansmen of the main Nicholas family, the rest basically only knew the beginning and the outcome of what happened in the ancestral hall. However, it did not take long for the servants and retainers in the palace to know about this.
When they heard that the clansmen who had returned to their own clan had broken the family rules and had been directly executed when paying respects to the Old Ancestor, the new retainers were all shocked.
Even if they had committed an extremely serious family crime, but… they had actually been directly executed?!
Even the clansmen had not survived… If they were to make a mistake…
Many of the retainers felt a chill in their hearts and did not speak for a long time.
In such a cold and strange atmosphere, night had arrived.
That night, Romo used a Dream Appearing Talisman and met Norton in the dream.
The next morning, Norton gathered all the clansmen together and made a series of arrangements.
Those who had violated the serious family rules would not be allowed to be buried in the family cemetery. They could only be buried in ordinary graves!
Koda had made a huge mistake in the teaching of his son and grandson. He had been crippled of his magical power and sentenced to guard the family cemetery for ten years. He was banned from cultivating magical power during this period!
The other clansmen who had just returned would not be imparted with secret manuals of magical power for three years and could not leave the city casually!!
