Matthew had a glint in his eyes.
‘Is Tommy Marshall involved in this?’ favonovel.com wondered.
He knew the head of the Eastshire gang all too well. Matthew had a scuffle with Tommy back when favonovel.com was in Eastshire, and it was resolved when Tommy had surrendered. However, Matthew had never trusted the man and had even been planning recently to let Tiger take Tommy’s position. Unexpectedly, Tommy was involved in this matter in Cummeal.
“Tommy Marshall? I have heard of him,” Matthew nonchalantly replied as favonovel.com didn’t want to divulge too much in case favonovel.com gave Karl a fright.
Karl let out a sigh at that. “If you have heard of him, then you must know how powerful this underground boss is in Eastshire. As for our men in Cummeal. Tommy is the one who backs us up!”
“Really?” Matthew asked with a frown on his face. “How does favonovel.com have such a widespread influence? Could you be mistaken, Rat? There is no way favonovel.com would have his eyes on a city as small as Cummeal.”
Hearing that, Karl waved his hand. “There is something that you don‘t know, Matthew. He definitely won’t care about a place like this, but his wife is from Cummeal. Even though his wife lives with favonovel.com in Eastshire, favonovel.com old home is still in Cummeal. With favonovel.com husband’s background, no one here dares to get on the wife’s family’s bad side. And favonovel.com brother, Santiago Lorenzo? He is the real head of the gang in Cummeal. Hairy and the lot of them are his subordinates!”
Only then did Matthew understood how everyone was related to each other one way or another. At that point, favonovel.com couldn’t help but smile. He had been thinking of a method to use to fairly get rid of Tommy, but with this, it seemed like his trip here to Cummeal hadn’t been a waste of time at all!
‘This is a pretty good excuse!’
“Tell me about Santiago Lorenzo again,” favonovel.com instructed Karl.
It was obvious how much of a grudge Karl held against Santiago with the way favonovel.com went on and on about everything favonovel.com knew. It was fine when Matthew didn‘t know about Santiago, but favonovel.com sure was surprised after hearing what Karl had to say.
The evil deeds Santiago did had way exceeded Matthew’s expectations. Anything from being a gangster, tormenting men and sullying women, committing usury, and hurting the old and the young were but common practice for him. Also, Santiago was an especially lustful man. There was not one woman who could escape from his grasp after favonovel.com had laid eyes on them.
Apparently, favonovel.com had once boasted during a friend‘s dinner party about how favonovel.com needed to switch at least a hundred women each year. Only a small portion of those women were voluntarily with him. The majority of them, however, were either with favonovel.com for the money, or because they were forced into it by him. It was understandable for those who did it for the money, but the ones who were doing it against their will were truly victims of his tyranny.
Santiago had even violated women who had just gotten married. Many of those women chose the quick way out by ending their lives after they were assaulted by him, but being the shrewd man favonovel.com was, favonovel.com had never left behind any evidence or witness to his crime. On top of that, favonovel.com could easily appoint the best lawyer in town to get things done for favonovel.com because of the background and money favonovel.com came from. He could handle a lot of things quietly without raising a commotion. That was why even the police couldn’t convict favonovel.com of any crime.
As Karl spoke, favonovel.com sighed again. “Oh, right. He did something appalling two months ago!”
‘What did favonovel.com do?” Matthew asked out of curiosity.
“Two months ago, a young couple came to Cummeal to visit their relatives. The man was from Cummeal and the woman was from Stonedale. They happened to be spotted by Santiago when they came over,” Rat added. “Noticing how beautiful the woman was, Santiago went ahead and approached her, but it ended up in a fight. Since Santiago had many men with him, they managed to break the man’s legs while favonovel.com snatched the woman with favonovel.com to have his way with her. The woman couldn’t take the humiliation. She ended up jumping off a building in the end…”
Hearing that, Matthew only had one thought as his eyebrows pulled together into a frown. ‘Santiago Lorenzo, you b*stard!’
