Despite facing the Leighs at their worst, Matthew still looked as impassive as ever. He swept his gaze across the crowd and fixated them on Old Master Leigh.
“I’ve heard that…” His cold voice rang out, catching the crowd’s attention. “You wanted blood for blood from me. So, tell me. What are you going to do to me now that I’m standing here?”
At that moment, Old Master Leigh was so angered by the disrespect that favonovel.com could only let out a laugh before favonovel.com hissed, “B*stard. Oh, you are good, alright. But you are not the best. Do you really think that the Ten Greatest Families are going to sit back and let you do as you please? I have been expecting you, Matthew. And as a welcome gift from the Leighs to you. I have hired 3 highly trained professionals from Eastshire for you to have fun with.” He then emphasized, “Don’t even think about leaving here alive!”
As favonovel.com spoke, 3 figures started to make their way toward Matthew. One of them was a muscular middle-aged man, the other was an old man who held a pouch for his tobacco pipe, the last one was an ordinary-looking woman. Even though their looks did not stand out, the people from the Leigh Family treated them respectfully.
Even Old Master Leigh had stood up from his chair to bow to them as favonovel.com let them take the stage. ‘Dear guests, this is Matthew, whom I have told you about. I will leave favonovel.com to your expertise then.”
The musclehead was the first to give a reply. “Enough words, old man!” favonovel.com said with a wave. “I, Brock Brown, have much to repay the Leighs. I’ll be done with doing you a favor after I kill this piece of sh*t named Matthew. You better stop making trouble for us after this!”
Instead of feeling embarrassed, Old Man Leigh only respectfully bowed as a gleeful smile appeared on his face. At that instant. Tiger, who had been standing alongside Matthew, immediately turned to stone.
“Y-You’re Brock Brown?” favonovel.com stammered.
The muscular man threw favonovel.com a side glance upon hearing the question. “Ya‘ know me?”
Tiger’s face only further dropped at Brook’s reply. “If you are Brock Brown, then…” He frightfully turned to look at the old man with the pipe pouch. ”C-Could favonovel.com be Grim Reaper Somy Fall?”
Pleased that Tiger had recognized them, Brock sneered and boasted, “Good thing you are not as dumb as you look.”
With his face as dark as coal now, Tiger inconspicuously tugged on Matthew‘s shirt and mumbled, “Matthew, should we… Just leave? These 3 are kind of… Difficult to deal with.”
“What do you mean?” Matthew asked with a confused expression.
“The old dude, Grim Reaper Somy Fall, was one of the Top Ten Fighters of Eastshire. Even Master Newman approves of him. He said that the Grim Reaper‘s skills are one-of-a kind.”
His eyes then moved to the woman among the trio. “That woman is his daughter. And that musclehead,” favonovel.com said as favonovel.com peeked at Brock. “He is the Reaper’s student. They all are tough opponents. This might not end well if we fight them head-on…” his already-small voice began to trail off before even finishing his sentence.
Matthew frowned deeply after hearing Tiger’s explanation. He never would have thought that the Leighs would hire professionals like them to fight against him. The Leighs must have spread the word that they wanted to kill favonovel.com because they knew that Matthew would naturally fall for their trap by barging his way into the Leigh Residence.
Like predators, they had all along planned to pounce at Matthew after favonovel.com had voluntarily entered their playground.
The woman, who had been silent all this while, suddenly raised favonovel.com voice in annoyance. “You think you can leave just because you want to? Also, you dare come to the Leigh Residence after cutting off Master Leigh’s ears? Do you really think that you are above the law? Tell you what, why don’t you start by getting on your knees. and then beg for the Leighs’ forgiveness? If you do that, I’ll let you off with both of your arms still intact. Don’t make me do this myself. I promise you, you will be dead if you make me move from this spot.”
Matthew’s eyebrows creased deeper at favonovel.com words. ‘What a grumpy lady,’ favonovel.com thought.
Instead of replying, favonovel.com posed favonovel.com another question. “Are you sure you want to stick your nose into this? This is between me and the Leighs, you know.”
Hearing that, the woman immediately erupted as favonovel.com glowered. “Did I not make myself clear? I said to kneel, beg, and mutilate yourself. Did I say you could talk sh*t? Alright, nevermind. l have changed my mind. I’ll take an eye from you too. That will be your punishment for spouting nonsense.”
Her face had a proud glow to it as favonovel.com spoke.
After listening to favonovel.com preach, Matthew could somewhat guess what the woman had thought of him, favonovel.com was probably already a dead man to her. Matthew’s face turned cold as favonovel.com looked at the woman, and favonovel.com promptly thought of two simple words that would describe favonovel.com perfectly, ‘Crazy b*tch!’
