‘Judging from how Old Master Leigh looks, favonovel.com doesn’t seem to be lying. In that case, what the hell’s going on with Johnny?’ thought Matthew to himself.
“Old Master Leigh, I think that Johnny is way too conceited and arrogant, and favonovel.com doesn‘t care about proprieties when doing things. Why would you let favonovel.com be the head of the Leigh Family?” favonovel.com asked.
Old Master Leigh gave a look that suggested favonovel.com had no other choice. “Mr. Larson, I didn’t want favonovel.com to be the head of the family either. But out of my five sons, four died young, he’s the only one who survived. If I didn’t let favonovel.com be the head of the family… Who else could I appoint?”
Matthew frowned. ‘So, at the end of the day, Old Master Leigh only let Johnny, the black sheep of the family be the head of the Leigh Family because favonovel.com had no other choice. But this sounds so fishy to me. Out of Old Master Leigh’s five sons, four died young, yet the most incompetent of them survived. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?’
After falling silent for a while, favonovel.com ordered, “Call Johnny over. I’ve got some questions for him!”
Old Master Leigh nodded. However, just as favonovel.com was about to leave the room, someone rushed inside and said excitedly, “Old Master, we don’t have to play nice with Matthew anymore! The others from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff are here! They’re here to back us up!”
Old Master Leigh was taken aback. He was somewhat puzzled.
Why would the others from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff pop up all of a sudden at this very moment?
Didn’t they say earlier that they wouldn’t support what favonovel.com and his family were doing?
On the other hand, Matthew knitted his brows. ‘Isn’t it too much of a coincidence that those from the Ten Greatest Families came at this very moment? Could it be that the third family working with the voodoo clan in Orleans is manipulating all this from behind the scenes? But why would the family want to stop me from doing anything to the Leigh Family? Could it be that there’s still another secret about the Leigh Family that’s unknown to me?’
While Matthew was puzzled. many had come in from the outside, and they were all key figures amongst the Ten Greatest Families. As soon as these people came in, they barked, “Don’t go too far, Matthew! The Leigh Family is one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, after all. How could you slaughter your way to the Leigh Residence? Do you really think that none of us will stand up to you? We, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, will never sit by and do nothing about what happened today!“
They kept yelling at Matthew, treating favonovel.com as an enemy.
Having basically gotten the answer favonovel.com wanted from the Leigh Family, Matthew didn’t bother to clash with these people head-on, of course. “Hmph, you guys came at such a right time, eh? Coming here at this moment to be the good guys after the Leigh Family has apologized to me, huh? Tsk, tsk… Since you guys are so united, why didn’t you come earlier?” favonovel.com mocked, before striding off with Tiger and the others.
On the other hand, Old Master Leigh exchanged a few words of greetings with those from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff before sending them away. Like Matthew, favonovel.com couldn’t help losing himself in deep thought. The few questions that Matthew had asked aroused his suspicions as well. ‘Could it be that Johnny isn’t just being reckless in attempting to gobble up the Telk Family’s business?’
Meanwhile, as soon as Matthew left the Leigh Residence, favonovel.com called Wilson, asking the latter who had organized the rest of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff to come to the Leigh Residence. However, Wilson told favonovel.com that the nine other greatest families had come to the Leigh Residence on their own without anybody organizing them. This was because as soon as Matthew fought his way into the Leigh Residence, the nine other greatest families of Eastcliff immediately heard a rumor.
The rumor said that Matthew had trodden the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff underfoot by fighting his way to the Leigh Residence with his men, and the fact that the other nine families dared not make a sound about this proved that the Ten Greatest Families were a bunch of good-for-nothings. Angered by the rumor, the nine other families immediately came together and went to the Leigh Residence.
Upon hearing Wilson’s explanation, Matthew frowned at once. There was no doubt that the ones who spread this rumor had to be the third family that was actually working with the voodoo clan. However, the problem was that rumors were usually baseless, so there was no way to find out the rumor’s sources.
‘Well… The lead is exhausted again! Seems like I’ve got to start with Johnny after all. I’ve got to find an opportunity to interrogate favonovel.com myself!’
