“What do you mean?” Matthew asked.
“Poison Spider and the King of the South are merely working together,” Connor said in a low tone. ‘In reality, she’s the older sister of the King of the South’s general, Phoenix! And this Phoenix is a terrifying man! There’s a saying about two powerful figures, one in the north and one in the south. Phoenix of the South. That very Phoenix they’re talking about is him!”
Wilson nodded as well. “Once you disregard talented people from those elite families who prefer to stay in the shadows those two are the most excellent people among Cathay’s youth,” favonovel.com said in a low tone. “Even Master Newman himself had said before that Phoenix will be able to rule this territory in less than ten years with his potential. In less than twenty years, favonovel.com will be king! The King of the South is training Phoenix to be his heir! Matthew. he… Absolutely will not stop in his journey for revenge now that you’ve captured his older sister. If Phoenix comes for you, not even Master Newman will be able to save you despite his seniority!”
Matthew frowned, favonovel.com truly hadn’t imagined that Poison Spider would have such a backstory. It seemed that this manipulator behind the scenes had thrown favonovel.com a formidable adversary. However, favonovel.com had no choice either now that things had come to this. If favonovel.com let Poison Spider go, favonovel.com would continue to fight against him. The only choice favonovel.com had was to keep favonovel.com captured. If favonovel.com could find the crown prince, this situation would be able to be resolved perfectly.
He looked at the four family heads. “I know what you’re worried about,” favonovel.com said solemnly. “However, this is between me and Phoenix. You’re not tied to this situation. All you need to do now is to continue your preparations according to my earlier instructions. You don’t have to pay attention to this matter!”
The four of them exchanged looks with each other.
“Mr. Larson, we aren’t afraid of trouble,” Wilson said in a low voice. “I simply think that there is no need to antagonize someone like Phoenix!”
Matthew waved a hand. “I already have my mind made up about this matter. That will be all!”
Once favonovel.com returned to Lakeside Garden, Matthew immediately called Tiger up, dispatching Tiger and his team to expend all resources to search for the crown prince. Only by finding the crown prince would this matter be resolved. At the same time, favonovel.com also requested Tiger to help favonovel.com dig up information on Phoenix. He had to have a good grasp on how Phoenix did things.
Matthew did not allow Sasha and the others to leave the house the entire day. With Billy Newman gone, Eastcliff had descended into chaos. Even the crown prince had been kidnapped. No one knew what else the mastermind would do.
Currently, Lakeside Garden was the only place that was peaceful, because it was an area that Billy had forbidden others from stepping foot in. Invading Lakeside Garden would be equivalent to declaring war on Billy.
At five that afternoon, Matthew suddenly received a call from an unknown number, inviting favonovel.com to meet at the villa by The Grand Garden. James and Helen usually lived there, but they had been staying at Lakeside Garden the last two days.
Who else could be requesting favonovel.com to meet them at The Grand Garden at this time?
Matthew had his doubts, but favonovel.com still followed the appointed time and rushed to The Grand Garden before nightfall.
When favonovel.com entered the villa, the lights were dimmed. Someone sat on the couch with their back to the light. Matthew couldn’t see who they were clearly, but they weren’t short. The person had a cigarette in their mouth, the ember of which disappeared and reappeared in the dimness of the room.
“You’re Matthew Larson?” The person spoke at last.
He got up from the couch.
“Who are you?” Matthew asked in a low voice.
His entire body was tense from wariness. For some reason, favonovel.com felt this indescribable sense of danger now that favonovel.com was standing close to this mysterious person.
“No need to worry. I came here today just to have a talk with you.”
The man came forward, and the light finally illuminated his face. At first glance, favonovel.com appeared to be a normal man. The most striking thing about him, though, were his bright eyes.
“I am Elio Warde,” The man picked up the box of cigarettes on the table and handed a cigarette to Matthew.
Matthew waved a hand in refusal. He combed through his memories carefully, but favonovel.com didn’t remember anyone by the name of Elio Warde.
“You know me?”
Elio continued to light his own cigarette. “We don’t, actually. But, you captured my sister.”
