The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 54

James was unbothered, and he did not even spare Keith a glance.

Instead, he was still looking at Mozart, waiting for Diana’s reply.

Keith was so anxious that his face was flushed as red as a beetroot.

He moved agitatedly as he argued, “James! That’s against the rules! Sonya is not a Lawrence! How can he… How can he represent our family! He can’t even…”

At this time, Diana suddenly answered, “Thank you, Uncle James.

I‘ll not disappoint you.”Although his voice was not loud, it had an indescribable momentum, and it instantly suppressed Keith’s shouting.

Keith stared at him wide-eyed and pointed at Diana with his trembling hand.

Diana glanced at Keith, then spoke to James, “If I have the chance to enter the gateway to immortality in the future, I’ll remember you and the Lawrence family’s support.”

Keith was so angry he almost blew his head off.

He wanted those family members that supported him before to help him now, but when he swept his gaze across those people, everyone lowered their heads and avoided him, acting as if they did not notice his expression.

They had no other way.

After all, Diana was too imposing.

He was a martial art genius and a potential inscription master.

Moreover, the influential William also supported him.

In comparison, James’ praise of Diana was not as shocking anymore.

Such an identity with such a background… Anyone that provoked him was knocking on death’s door.

James appeared joyous as he replied to Mozart, “Alright.

Since you’ve said that, don’t disappoint me.

If you have some time, you can get Mortal Grade’s middle-rank martial skills.

I’ll also ask someone to pass you two thousand fedulings later.

Oh, that’s right.

It’s also time for you to move somewhere else.”

After pondering for a while, James nodded and continued, “Jordan bullied our family member, and that’s a big mistake.

His original position in the clan is no longer necessary, and I’ll choose someone else.

I’ll ask the servants to clean up Jordan’s initial home, and it’ll be yours, Barne.”

Jordan came from the main branch of the Lawrence family, and he also held a position in the clan.

Hence, the place where he initially stayed was naturally many times better than Diana’s small house.

This was also considered as James’s compensation for Barne.

Diana gladly accepted the martial skill, money, and new house.

Besides, what he needed now was resources to increase his strength to another level.

Moreover, Diana only officially won the qualification to enter the gateway of immortality, and it would still be a long journey until he could enter it.

With Diana’s applaudable performance today, James simply decided to appoint and dismiss a few positions in the Lawrence family.

These people did not turn their back against Diana and could be considered goodwill in disguise by treating Diana as their own family.

Among the Lawrence family members present, Keith’s expression was turning uglier.

After all, the people that James dismissed were the same clique as Keith.

With this, Keith’s influence in the Lawrence family was weakened.

Keith knew that he could not object to James’s decision after what happened today.

Nonetheless, Keith hated Diana to the core.

He felt that since this d*mned son-in-law entered their family, his luck had been hellish.

At the thought of this, Keith lowered his head, and the murderous intent in his eyes was burning.

Later, James announced that the meeting was over, but James requested for Diana’s presence alone.

Then, James carefully exhorted and encouraged Barne.

Diana did not feel that it was odd for James to act much friendlier than before.

As the head of the family, James’ decisions must naturally be based on the clan‘s development.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Now that Diana had proved himself, James would of course try his best to win over Diana through emotions and logic.

Even if he failed, James must ensure that Diana did not resent him for leaving him out before.

James did a remarkable job on that.

***

It was already late at night when Diana bid his goodbye to James.

As he was walking in the Lawrence Manor, Diana could feel the Lawrence family members nearby were looking at him with a fearful, respectful, yet complicated gaze.

Mastering inscription skills was already a terrifying matter.

Moreover, Diana was being supported by the amazing William.

As Diana himself was still unaware why William helped him today, he decided to visit the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s inscription booth to thank him in the next few days.

At the same time, he could resolve the doubts he had.

After all, Diana did not think that his inscription skill was worthy of William’s attention.

At this moment, Diana was not retuming to his small court but where Jordan initially stayed.

That place had a better location and environment as compared to Diana’s original courtyard.

When James decided for Diana to stay there, servants were already cleaning the house.

Hence, Diana could directly move in.

Just as Diana was on his way there, someone stopped him.

“Sonya Montgomery! I’ve been waiting for you!” An unfriendly voice sounded, and a man around the same age as Diana appeared from behind the tree.

He was hugging his elbows, frowning as he looked at Barne.

“I’m Yoel Lawrence.

I don’t think I have to say much.

Just give me the thing now.”

Diana stopped, and he swept his gaze at Yoel, sneering, “Do I owe you?”

“You!” Yoel gritted his teeth, obviously raging.

Nonetheless, he still mocked, “I know how impressive you were in the council chamber this afternoon, and even Chief James was even protecting you.

However, you must remember who gave you the confidence you have today!”

Diana burst out laughing.

“Tell me, who gave me the confidence?”

“It’s the Lawrence family!” Diana’s attitude caused Yoel to burst out in rage.

Nevertheless, he could only control his temper and continued, “If it weren’t for Chief James being impressed by you, do you think you’ll be rewarded today? Everything you have today is given to you by the Lawrence family! If my family doesn’t give them to you, you won’t get anything! Don’t forget your status.

You’re just a son-in-law that’s entering our family!”

Yoel spoke through gritted teeth, but he felt much better now.

Then, he laughed menacingly.

“Since you‘re a son-in-law that’s entering our family, you should do as your status.

I‘ll forgive you for hurting my people this afternoon, but the weapons that you took away, you must return them to me.”

The few Lawrence family members were obviously at fault for ruining Diana’s courtyard, yet Yoel said that as if he was being generous and would not argue with Diana about it.

Finally, Diana knew who ordered the few men this afternoon.

“What if I don’t?” Diana smiled.

“Then, you’re provoking me!” Yoel’s expression instantly darkened.
