The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

When Silas heard his brother's question, he turned to look at Arlo and then

sneered as he said, “My dear brother, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'm only acting on the British Lord's order. To be honest with you, I am your alternative."

"What?!" Arlo was stunned.

He had never thought that he actually had an alternative as one of the five Military Governor Officers and one of the British Lord's most trusted confidants! Moreover, he could not imagine that his alternative was actually his brother!

He blurted out, "When did you become my alternative?!"

Silas smiled and said, "I was already your alternative before you became the Right Military Officer of the Right Military Governor Office. In fact, I knew that you were going to become the Right Military Officer before you even knew it."

"You b*stard!" Arlo yelled angrily, "You're my brother and I watched you grow up! You were my alternative, but you never told me about it at all throughout all these years?!"

Silas asked him, "Why should I tell you? This is a top-secret mission that the British Lord entrusted to me. We are both loyal to the British Lord first before being loyal to our own kin. If you had not tried to deceive the British Lord, he would not have asked me to replace you. It's your own fault for failing to be truthful and loyal to the British Lord!"

Arlo was frightened and quibbled, "I didn't! I have been in awe of the British Lord all my life, and I see the British Lord as a divine being. How could I possibly deceive him?!"noveldrama

"You're still quibbling?" Silas said coldly, "My dear brother, you were not the only one to hear the conversation that the group had in the tent just now. I heard it too!"

Arlo was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning and blurted out, "What?! You... You were following me?!”

Silas said calmly, "I was not following you, but as your alternative, I have to give feedback on all the information that you come into contact with to the British Lord in real-time so that you would not be able to hide any information from the British Lord."

With that said, Silas looked at Arlo with a cold expression and said, "Bro, if you had reported today's incident to the British Lord honestly and apologized to him, he might have spared your life on account of your hard work for so many years, but you were too muddle-headed! Have you forgotten the three iron-clad rules of the Qing Eliminating Society? Those who disobey will be killed! Those who

deceive will be killed! Those who are double-faced will be killed! Bro, the

crime you have committed is the crime of deceit!"

Arlo looked at him and asked through clenched teeth, "So, you knew that I lied to the British Lord, but instead of covering up for me as my brother, you chose to report it to the British Lord?!"

Silas smiled contemptuously and said, "Bro, as I mentioned earlier, loyalty to the British Lord is the top priority. The foundation of our relationship is based on the fact that we are loyal to our duties and to the British Lord. If you betray the British Lord, our relationship will naturally be dissolved, and you will no longer be my elder brother. Instead, you will be my enemy and an enemy of Qing Eliminating Society!"

Having said that, Silas sighed and said emotionally, "My dear brother, did you know that I've been looking forward to this day to come sooner ever since you became the Military Governor more than twenty years ago? As long as I can become the Military Governor, I will be able to take charge of the Military Governor Office and also receive pills from the British Lord on a regular basis. If I pledge my loyalty to the British Lord during this period of time, I might even be able to master Reiki in this lifetime. Who would not be tempted by such a great temptation? What's more, I'm your alternative, so being the Military Governor is not out of my reach. I will be the person in charge as long as you're deposed!"
