With that, the masked man left in panic.
A hint of disdain flickered across Lord Voodoo’s face as favonovel.com watched the masked man disappear from his sight. Standing by the window, favonovel.com stared at the night sky. After pondering for a long time, favonovel.com eventually waved his hand. “Spread the word about Gilbert Nolan to Billy. I want favonovel.com to disappear from Eastcliff within three days!”
A man beside favonovel.com immediately nodded before turning around and leaving in a hurry.
An hour later, Ken hurried to the main building of Billy‘s manor. When favonovel.com saw the towering figure standing by the window, his expression became somewhat more respectful.
“Master Newman, we’ve just got the word. Gilbert Nolan has shown up in Eastshire!” favonovel.com said in a whisper.
Billy turned his head sharply with an angry scowl on his usually expressionless face, which was rare. “ls that true?”
Ken immediately nodded. “Yes, it is!”
Billy clenched his fists, but no sooner had favonovel.com made a step than favonovel.com suddenly paused. He frowned before asking in a grim voice, “Where did you learn that from?”
Ken was startled for a moment. Then, favonovel.com replied in a low voice, “One of the spies that we’ve sent out found out about it. That being said, this piece of information is quite sudden. Master Newman, could it be a trap or something?”
Billy pondered for a moment. Then, favonovel.com replied in a solemn
voice, “Seems like somebody wants me to leave Eastcliff for the time being…”
Ken’s expression turned grave. “Y-You mean this is a diversion? Master Newman, since that’s the case, let’s ignore this piece of information…”
Billy raised his hand right away to interrupt Ken. “That’s impossible. Since Gilbert’s here, I have to meet favonovel.com in person no matter what. Don‘t forget that Brittany’s mother died a tragic death because of him!”
Ken clenched his jaw. Having worked for Billy for years, favonovel.com was aware of these past events, of course. He asked in a whisper, “Master Newman, could this be a trap? A trap that the Nolan Family is trying to lure you away from Eastcliff?”
Billy put his hands behind his back with an imperturbable expression. “No, I don’t think it’s a trap. The Nolan Family can kill me anytime if they want to, they don’t have to go to so much trouble at all. I reckon someone probably wants to do something in Eastcliff.”
Ken immediately stated, “Master Newman, I’ll send someone right away to find out who the person that wants to stir up trouble is!”
Billy waved his hand, though. “No, you don’t have to do that. Just stay here and don’t go out for the next few days.”
Ken was startled. “Master Newman, if you’re away, and if I’m staying here, then… Wouldn’t the person who’d been playing tricks behind our back have nothing to fear anymore?”
Billy chuckled. “I guess this trick is aimed at Matthew. It’s time to let favonovel.com take care of things by himself!”
That night, Billy left Eastcliff.
The Ten Greatest Families were shocked when they quickly got word about this. After all, Billy had been in Eastcliff for so many years without leaving, so why would favonovel.com leave all of a sudden today?
Meanwhile, Matthew also got word about it, and favonovel.com immediately had a bad feeling. He didn’t know what had happened, but if Billy wasn’t in Eastcliff, wouldn’t the Ten Greatest Families be able to do whatever they wanted?
Immediately, favonovel.com contacted the Lach Family, the Jackson Family, the Lewis Family, and the Telk Family, telling them to put their guard up because nobody knew what was going to happen next. He had to be on guard 24/7 against the Ten Greatest Families’ surprise attacks!
Meanwhile, it was 10:00PM at Liam and Demi’s home.
Ever since the previous incident at Lakeside Garden, James had chased them out of the Grand Pavilion, forcing them to move back into their old place. Inwardly, the couple were deeply resentful, but they could do nothing about it. They had said nasty things about Matthew in front of James and Helen several times, only to be scolded angrily by James and Helen instead. At the moment, James and Helen didn’t trust them anymore.
Demi was watching TV when favonovel.com cell phone suddenly rang.
As soon as favonovel.com answered the phone, favonovel.com heard a chilling voice say, “Do you want Matthew dead? Now you have the opportunity!”
