Matthew wiped the blood stain off his face and slowly turned to the heads of the Ten Greatest Families.
“Are you all convinced of my strength now?”
The heads of the families exchanged glances with one another and finally, Philip bowed and declared, “From today onward, Eastshire will be under your lead, Mr. Larson!”
After Philip made that declaration, the others followed suit and bowed to Matthew as well. Among them, only the head of the Fisher Family wore a discontented expression. He had lowered his head as well, but his eyes were still filled with resentment. After all, his son had died in the hands of Matthew.
With a deadpan look, Matthew questioned, “Since Eastshire is now my territory, I believe that there are certain things that we have to resolve. What do you think, Master Fisher?”
The head of the Fisher Family trembled at that. He knew that Matthew was going to settle scores with favonovel.com now.
If Matthew had lost that night, the head of the Fisher Family wouldn’t have to fear the former at all. Yet, now that Matthew had won and favonovel.com had now overpowered the Ten Greatest Families, would the families help favonovel.com under such a circumstance?
He looked pleadingly at Philip but the latter turned to one side, refusing to meet his eyes. He then looked at the other heads of families, who were unfazed by his pleading gaze as well.
Everyone at the scene was no fool. They all knew that going against Matthew at that point would be akin to seeking death. Matthew had proven his ability by killing all thirteen gold-rated assassins, so they would have no chance if they were to fight favonovel.com head on, not with their current strength, at least. Since the situation had come to this point, no one at the scene was willing to do something that would offend Matthew.
Seeing that nobody was willing to give favonovel.com a hand, the head of the Fisher Family suddenly broke into a smile. “As the saying goes, if a man once falls, all will tread upon him. Hmph! Since favonovel.com is able to take down the Fisher Family, favonovel.com won’t hesitate to do that to the other families as well. I will just sit back and watch how long you guys can laugh!”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com abruptly stood up straight and looked into Matthew’s eyes. “Matthew, the winner is always in the right and the loser is always in the wrong. I admit defeat this time, it was my fault for failing to bring my son up well and I’m willing to receive punishment for that. I will accept it no matter what you are going to do to me, but this incident has nothing to do with the other people of the Fisher Family. I hope that you won’t seek trouble with them! Otherwise, I will never compromise even if it means putting up a fight that will lead to death!”
Matthew scoffed in response. “Master Fisher, are you still acting tough at this point? I’ve said that the Fisher Family has to be removed from Eastshire because of the abominable deed that your son had committed, and now’s the time to fulfill the promise.” With that, favonovel.com waved his hand and gave an order, “Master White, I’m afraid that we have some scores to settle too, in regards to the incident where the Ten Greatest Families helped the Fisher Family.”
Philip frowned at that. His initial plan had been to stay away from the mess and let Matthew go head-on with the Fisher Family. However, when Matthew brought up the fact that the Ten Greatest Families had helped the Fisher Family, favonovel.com suddenly felt flustered.
As a matter of fact, the Ten Greatest Families had been the Fisher Family’s accomplices in that incident. If Matthew was enraged by that and decided to pursue the matter, it would bring trouble to the Ten Greatest Families.
After some consideration, Philip nodded. “Please rest assured, Mr. Larson. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”
The head of the Fisher Family was anxious. “Philip, what do you mean by that?”
However, Philip slapped the man’s face in response. “What do I mean? What do you think? The Fisher Family has done so many abominable deeds. Your family is a disgrace to the Ten Greatest Families! Today, I will weed the problem within us to save the reputation of the Ten Greatest Families! What do you all think?”
The remaining heads of the eight families applauded and agreed to the suggestion. They were all willing to tread on the person who had fallen.
