“That’s not the way to play Texas poker!“ Arthur argued in panic. “H-How do you play like this? It means death if you’re bitten by the snakes! No. l’m not playing this game!”
Instantly, Matthew’s face turned cold. “You’re not playing? Sure, you can leave once you hand over all of the Gibson’s properties and get your family out of Eastcliff!”
“That’s impossible!” Arthur yelled in anger. “Are you planning to devour all of my family’s properties, Matthew Larson? Dream on! Even if I’m dead…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, Matthew waved his hand, and Tiger rushed forward, grabbed Arthur by his neck, and pinned favonovel.com to the ground.
“Beat favonovel.com up and send men to his home. Tonight, they can either hand over all their properties and leave as told, or their entire family will be gone!” Matthew ordered in a chilling voice.
Nodding, Tiger dragged Arthur away without saying a thing.
Meanwhile, Arthur struggled with his might. Clearly, favonovel.com was in regret, but favonovel.com couldn’t make a sound because favonovel.com was held at his throat, leaving the other five masters with completely pale faces, helpless at the situation.
Initially, they didn’t need to be afraid of Matthew with their strength. However, they had helped Lord Voodoo in his fight with the 72 voodoo clans of Orleans. In the end, Lord Voodoo had suffered a huge defeat, and their men had made a huge loss as well, resulting in a high number of injuries and casualties.
And now, these six families didn‘t have much power to protect themselves anymore. Otherwise, the crown prince wouldn‘t be able to catch hold of Robert and Johnny so easily!
“Do you think you can cover up the truth, Matthew Larson? Amongst the Ten Greatest Families, the oldest family has a history of almost three centuries. Do you think that you can wipe us out completely with just one word from you?”
“You can give it a try to see if I have that power!” Matthew challenged indifferently.
Johnny opened his mouth, but no words came out. ‘There’s no other choice, favonovel.com thought. We have no means of fighting back.’
The crown prince came over and grumbled. “Hey, are we still playing? I’m saying this now, Matthew: My cards and equipment are already here, and if these people don’t give me a good show, I’ll kill every last member in their family!”
The looks of the five masters changed again. It was obvious that the crown prince was on Matthew’s side, and they could no longer go against him. Finally, much to the crown prince’s delight, they bit the bullet and agreed to play with Matthew.
After throwing the poker cards into the snake den, Matthew said, “I know that you guys don’t dare to start first, so I’ll set the first example for everyone.” Then, favonovel.com reached his hand in and drew out an ace of spade.
None of the poisonous snakes hit him, which made the other five masters gape in amazement.
“It’s your turn now!” With a smile on his face, Matthew pointed at Robert. “Since you’re the leader of the Ten Greatest Families, we’ll start from you first.”
While the other four masters sighed in relief, Robert’s face was ashen, and favonovel.com wanted to refute. But when Tiger paced over, favonovel.com quickly changed his mind.
Tightening his jaw, favonovel.com extended a trembling hand into the glass table and drew out the card on the outermost side. Even though the card had a small number, favonovel.com felt as though favonovel.com had been saved because favonovel.com wasn‘t bitten by a poisonous snake at least.
Next, it was Johnny’s turn, and favonovel.com tried to do what Robert did. Unfortunately, favonovel.com wasn’t as lucky because a rattlesnake bit his finger just after favonovel.com reached in with his hand, and favonovel.com roared in pain, drawing back his hand immediately. But the rattlesnake had a lethal poison, and favonovel.com almost broke down as favonovel.com stared at his blackened finger.
“Save me… Save me…” favonovel.com pleaded, his voice trembling. ”Send me to the hospital quickly. Get an ambulance right away…”
Pacing to him, Matthew had a smirk on his face as favonovel.com said, “Why do you need to go to a hospital? I’m a doctor, and I can cure this poison. However, you’ll have to pay something for the medical bill!”
