Karl then continued, “This was supposed to be a normal occurrence since Santiago always did things like this. This time, however, it turned out a little different because that woman is supposedly from a wealthy and influential family. After something like this happened, a group of people came to Cummeal the next day and got Santiago directly from his house. Honestly, all of us were so happy when we thought favonovel.com would die for sure. We did not expect favonovel.com to come back intact less than half a day later! Not only that, favonovel.com also proudly claimed that it was the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale who came forward to save favonovel.com and help favonovel.com settle the issue. Also, the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale regard favonovel.com as a friend. His connections have already spanned across both Eastshire and Stonedale.”
Matthew‘s eyes immediately had a flash of light as soon as favonovel.com heard those words.
‘The Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale actually are looking out for someone unimportant like Santiago?’ He started to brainstorm. There must be a reason why they decided to help him.
Coupled with the Neverland Pharmaceuticals incident, Matthew had a vague feeling that this might have something to do with the Restoration Pill.
It was the middle of the night already as they continued to chat. When Karl realized it, favonovel.com stood Lip and informed, “It has gotten late, Matthew. You should rest up. I will be here waiting for you early tomorrow morning.”
“Where are you heading to now?” Matthew asked. “Hairy and his gang might still be waiting for you outside your doorstep.”
“I, uhm… I will spend the night at my friend‘s place,” Karl answered in an unsure voice as favonovel.com scratched his head, making Matthew wave his hand disapprovingly.
“There’s no need to torment yourself that way. Go to the front desk and have them rent you a room. I will need you to bring me somewhere tomorrow morning.”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com passed a wad of cash to Karl.
Karl hesitated as favonovel.com stared at the money. Just from the looks of it, the stack seemed to easily amount to tens of thousands.
Seeing Karl remain unmoving, Matthew shoved it into his hand. “Take it. What? Do I look like someone who lacks this bit of money?“
Karl’s face was filled with gratitude. “Matthew, this… Thank you so much. You have helped me a lot, and you are even giving me so much money, I… I really don’t know how to show you my gratitude…”
“Geez! Don’t get sentimental on me now. Have a good rest. You are going to need that energy tomorrow since I will be making stops at many places,” Matthew urged while favonovel.com waved again.
“Don’t worry, Matthew.” Karl nodded. “I won’t ever get in your way!”
He then ran downstairs and got the cheapest room available. He eventually fell asleep with a heart full of gratitude and anxiety. Matthew, on the other hand, was in no rush to sleep. Instead, favonovel.com gave Tiger a call. He wanted Tiger to make a trip to Eastshire, and think of a way to get Tommy and his wife to come all the way to Cummeal.
Matthew was going to take the chance this time to exterminate Tommy!
But before that, favonovel.com wanted to investigate to see whether Santiago was involved with Neverland Pharmaceuticals in any way.
***
After breakfast the next day, Matthew asked Karl to rent a car before they set off on their journey to a small town below Cummeal.
This was the town the project manager from last time lived in. When they arrived, Matthew followed the address, and finally reached a place near the manager’s house. However, favonovel.com didn’t go to the project manager directly. He told Karl to try and inquire about whether the project manager was at home so that their arrival wouldn’t be alarming.
Karl did as favonovel.com was told, but favonovel.com came back with news that shocked Matthew, the project manager had passed away in a car accident just a week ago!
Matthew was in disbelief the moment favonovel.com heard Karl’s words. ‘Isn’t this a little too sudden?’
Now that the manager was dead, did it mean that this was as much clue as Matthew would be able to find?
How was favonovel.com going to find out whether or not the manager had some sort of connection to Neverland Pharmaceuticals?
Also, how was favonovel.com going to prove that the refining method of Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ Restoration Pill was stolen from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?
