The next day, around nine o’clock in the morning, a group of people rushed to Woodside. They were the group of herb growers Ambrose had mentioned.
Matthew went to see them immediately, because they had the Seven-Leafed Lotus with them, which was a kind of medicine of extreme heat that was crucial for Crystal at the moment. He planned to directly spend a huge amount of money to buy the Seven-Leafed Lotus from them, but favonovel.com was rejected by these herb growers. Their purpose was very clear. They planned to use the Seven-Leafed Lotus as a reward and find someone to do something for them. Besides, the amount of money was not important to them. In other words, Matthew had to compete with several other groups of people to get the Seven-Leafed Lotus. Hence, favonovel.com had no choice but to wait.
During the wait, Matthew looked for Ambrose to understand the situation better. This time, Ambrose contacted a total of three groups of people. Among them, one group was from Eastshire. They were sent by the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire as a representative.
As for the other two groups, one was from Stonedale, representing the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. The other was from Mightwater.
At eleven o’clock, the people from Eastshire and Stonedale arrived. When favonovel.com saw the group of people from Eastshire, Matthew thought, ‘What a small world for enemies!’
The people who came from Eastshire this time were headed by the Hughes Family. After all, the Hughes Family were a medical family, so they were after the Seven-Leafed Lotus as well.
The leader, Noah Hughes, was Travis’ cousin. After Travis’ death, favonovel.com took over as the heir, and favonovel.com was much more arrogant than Travis. When favonovel.com saw Matthew, a trace of disdain passed across his face.
“Chief Larson, what is this? You called us over for business, but why are there irrelevant people here too? Do you look down on the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire and Stonedale?” Noah said bitterly.
The leader of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale was a young man named Edmund Albright. As favonovel.com didn’t know Matthew, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel curious and asked, “Noah, what’s going on?”
Noah pointed at Matthew. “This kid is from Eastshire, and he’s the live-in son-in-law of a small family there. To put it bluntly, he’s a loser who can only depend on his wife! Edmund, I am the representative of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, and you are the representative of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. We are here to get down to business, but a pretty boy who scams women is sitting here with us. Tell me, isn’t this insulting?”
When Edmund heard this, his brows furrowed immediately, and favonovel.com gave Matthew an unhappy glance.
Ambrose’s expression turned cold. If it were in the past, he wouldn’t have cared about these things at all as it was a personal grudge between Matthew and the others. But now that favonovel.com knew Matthew was Shane’s son, insulting Matthew was tantamount to insulting him.
Ambrose was just about to speak when favonovel.com was interrupted by Matthew.
“Noah, your family never learns. Have you forgotten how your cousin died in Eastcliff? Ha, it’s true that I am a live-in son-in-law. But, what can the Hughes Family do about it? So many members of your family died. In the end, don’t you have to be obedient and bow down to me?”
Matthew waved his hand at Ambrose, gesturing for favonovel.com to ignore the matter as favonovel.com didn’t want to expose his relationship with Ambrose.
Noah burst into fury. He rose to his full height and pointed at Matthew, roaring, “Matthew, who the hell do you think you’re talking to? Do you really think I’m scared of you? I’ll have you know that I can kill you right here and now!”
Matthew sneered, “Noah, don’t forget that you’re in Woodside. There are rules here. Do you think you can not take Woodside’s rules seriously?”
Hearing that, Ambrose immediately cleared his throat to assert his dominance.
