Matthew answered with a question. “Will you work with me if I can prove that I wasn’t the one who killed Donovan?”
Felix frowned for a moment as if favonovel.com was deep in thought. “Dickson is part of the Lewis Family as well…”
At that moment, Matthew threw a file onto the table. “These are all of Dickson’s crimes. I’m sure you know what favonovel.com has done in the past. If we put these out in public, do you think the Lewis Family would still recognize favonovel.com as a part of them?”
Once more, Felix was silent for a long while as favonovel.com contemplated Matthew’s words. “I can’t betray my family, Mr. Larson!“
“That’s not what I’m asking you to do. I’m asking for a partnership where both parties will benefit one another. From here onward, we can be allies. I’ll help you, and you‘ll help me, that’s all this is. I won‘t get involved in any of the Lewis Family’s business. If anything, I can perhaps help your family to further develop their business!”
“You sure are an ambitious man, Mr. Larson!” Felix couldn’t help but lift his head to stare at Matthew with his twinkling eyes. Both of them chuckled immediately. Wilson had said the exact same words in the past, but it was Felix’s turn to say it then!
Matthew stood up to glance at the skyline before his eyes. “My goals and ambition go beyond Eastcliff. Similarly, I hope that you guys can look further than just Eastcliff as well. The Hughes, for example, managed to kill Zachary before they got Connor to kill his own son. How did they do that? Because the Hughes are more powerful than you guys! Just the Hughes themselves would be able to take down the rest of the Ten Greatest Families! Are you okay with that, Felix? Are you content with your life, Wilson?!”
Both Felix and Wilson looked at one another. It seemed like they had both been impacted by Matthew’s words.
Matthew was right, the incident between the Hughes and the Jacksons made everyone feel like they had to protect themselves. The Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff may appear grand and shiny on the surface, but they were nothing in comparison to the Ten Greatest Families of Easthire.
If it weren’t for Billy, the Ten Greatest Families in Eastcliff would have been completely crushed and destroyed. Felix and Wilson weren’t happy about it, but what could they do in that situation? They had no choice but to be oppressed if they weren‘t as great as their opponent. The strong fed on the weak, that was how natural selection worked to keep humans alive!
“You have wild ambitions, Mr. Larson.” Felix got to his feet.
“However, do remember that Master Newman is also in Eastcliff. You helped Master Newman in the past, and he’s thankful to you for that, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you wish! Your goals will never be fulfilled! There’ll always be a huge mountain, Master Newman, that you won’t be able to get past!”
Wilson shifted his gaze to Matthew. There was a question that had been lingering in his mind. ‘Is Matthew doing all of this now because favonovel.com wants to take over Billy’s position? Who is favonovel.com to do such a thing?
“Judging by Master Newman’s skills, do you think he’d settle down in Eastcliff if favonovel.com actually cared about such matters?”
Matthew chuckled. “Don’t forget about the time favonovel.com nearly got coined the king of the Six Southern States!”
Both Felix and Wilson’s facial muscles twitched as they recalled the man from the past. Billy was a man with an extremely strong aura, and favonovel.com overpowered all of the six states‘ families. Everyone had to bow down to him, and favonovel.com was practically the king of the Six Southern States at that point. However, favonovel.com decided to give up on the role in the end.
After that, favonovel.com settled down in Eastcliff and never left ever since. Perhaps the younger generations were already unaware of how grandly favonovel.com had lived in the past. However, the older generations could all recall Billy when favonovel.com was at the peak of his life! He was the king of Eastcliff, but favonovel.com was more than just that, favonovel.com was also the undefeatable king of the Six Southern States!
Felix and Wilson couldn‘t hide the excitement on their faces as they looked at each other. Billy’s attitude toward the matter was clear based on what Matthew said. Not only did Billy agree to it, but favonovel.com was even supporting Matthew. Both Felix and Wilson felt like they just saw another version of the young Billy! However, the young man before their eyes was even more driven and strong-willed than Billy was!
Matthew wanted to achieve things that Billy had never done!
Felix took a deep breath before bowing. “I am willing to work for you once you prove that you didn’t kill Donovan,” Felix uttered. He was thoroughly impressed!
