It was a turbulent night in Eastcliff.
With the Head of the White Family dead, the Whites had to choose a new leader. They also lost a lot of power and influence in the process, which turned them into the weakest among the ten greatest families of Eastcliff. Other than that, their wealth was also quickly divided up by others after Owen and Gordon died.
Unsurprisingly, the ten families swept away half of the wealth. Stanley took one fifth of it, while the rest were transferred to Matthew. It was Billy who decided on the division of the assets, so nobody dared utter a word in protest.
By the next morning, Matthew went to Billy’s place after dropping Sasha off at favonovel.com company. Billy had played a major role in the incident, so favonovel.com figured favonovel.com should visit Billy as a show of his gratitude.
When favonovel.com arrived, Billy had just had breakfast, and was sitting on the balcony with Brittany. She had made great progress in favonovel.com recovery. Not only did favonovel.com make a full recovery, but favonovel.com had regained favonovel.com beauty too. Her features were even more delicate than Sasha’s. Now, favonovel.com was only eighteen, so in a few years, favonovel.com would probably replace Sasha as the most beautiful woman in all of Eastcliff, just like how Sasha replaced Leanna.
As soon as favonovel.com saw Matthew, favonovel.com greeted favonovel.com sweetly before pouring favonovel.com some tea. After Matthew sat down beside Billy, favonovel.com took a sip out of his tea. “Mr. Newman, you have my gratitude for what happened.”
Billy put his cup down with a chuckle. “Mr. Larson, I owe you a lot. This isn’t even enough to repay you. Besides, Declan had crossed a line this time. I haven’t been making much of an appearance during the past few years, while Stanley has been doing a great job at managing the business. Seeing that the ten families seemed to have forgotten who is the First King of Eastcliff, this is actually a great opportunity to remind them of that.”
Matthew wore a faint smile. “Although you can put it that way, I should thank you nonetheless, Mr. Newman.”
Then, Billy glanced at Matthew before suddenly saying, “Mr. Larson, what is the position that you would like to achieve in life?”
Startled, Matthew wasn’t sure why Billy would ask that out of the blue. After pondering on the topic for a bit, favonovel.com replied, “I’ve never thought about it, but there are other things that I must do.”
“By that, do you mean revenge?” Billy questioned in a hushed voice.
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that favonovel.com already found out my identity?
Instead of looking at Matthew, Billy opted to fix his gaze on somewhere faraway. “Your name should be well-known throughout the country considering your superb medical skills. Yet, you chose to hide yourself in Eastcliff, not even allowing word about your medical skills to spread. This means you are ambitious. For now, you are gathering up strength, as well as waiting for the opportunity to strike. Nobody would act like you unless they are aiming for blood vengeance.”
Matthew was shaken by Billy’s analysis, which confirmed that Billy was no ordinary man. Although Billy never made much of a public appearance, favonovel.com could read people well, and was consequently able to have everything under his control. He would remain perfectly still until it was the right moment to strike, during which favonovel.com would aim to kill.
He sure is the hero of our times! Matthew heaved a sigh. “I will not run away from my responsibilities.”
Billy burst into laughter. “Well said! You know what is most important to you!” With that, favonovel.com stood up to walk up to the railing. “It has been eighteen years. It’s time for me to leave.”
What favonovel.com said caught Matthew off guard, which prompted favonovel.com to ask in shock, “Where are you going, Mr. Newman?”
Billy let out a chuckle. “It’s just as you said. I won’t run away from my responsibilities.”
The statement stunned Matthew. Considering Billy’s status, favonovel.com should have already accomplished all of the goals favonovel.com set in life. Besides, favonovel.com was still the First King of Eastcliff. If favonovel.com needed something done, all that was required of favonovel.com would be to give a command. Then, people would flock in to carry out his orders. There was no need for favonovel.com to personally attend to anything.
“I’m afraid I don’t get what you mean, Master Newman.” Matthew was being honest.
Billy cast favonovel.com a glance before posing a question. “You’ll know when the time comes. All I want to know is if you will be able to devour all of the Ten Greatest Families within a year?”
