As Tristan‘s search for Matthew downstairs continued to bore no fruit, Zoey came and blocked his path.
“Dear cousin, why are you still wandering about? Uncle Rowan has been looking for you upstairs for so long that he’s probably angry right now,” Zoey said with a pout.
Tristan frowned. “What does favonovel.com want from me?”
Shrugging favonovel.com shoulders, Zoey replied, “How would I know? Perhaps it’s because favonovel.com feels unhappy getting one-upped by Phoenix, so he’s planning to start something.”
Then, Zoey turned favonovel.com attention to the distant crowd and said in excitement, “By the way, which one of them is Phoenix? Is favonovel.com handsome?”
With a reluctant expression, Tristan pointed at Phoenix who was at quite a distance away. “That one. He’s not your type.”
Zoey stared at Phoenix for a while before favonovel.com suddenly burst into laughter. “How do you know he’s not my type? I‘ll have you know that my taste in men has changed, okay? I’ve learned to appreciate capable men. It doesn’t really matter how favonovel.com looks. What’s important is if the man has the capability and a career of his own, wouldn’t you say so? Don’t you think that the Lord of Eastshire fits these criteria well? I’m sure many women would appreciate such a man, but what do you think?”
Upon Zoey touching Tristan’s sore spot, favonovel.com clenched his fists tightly in anger. However, favonovel.com didn’t give any moment for favonovel.com to give his reply as favonovel.com turned and left in Phoenix’s direction with a smile on favonovel.com face.
Looking at how infatuated favonovel.com was with the man, favonovel.com couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “To treat Phoenix as a common man is just asking for trouble,” favonovel.com muttered as favonovel.com went upstairs.
Since Rowan lost to Phoenix, the person involved must have wanted to discuss their upcoming move. When Tristan went upstairs, favonovel.com found several members of the Cosby Family already there with more on the way. He knew that they were all experts dedicated to their crafts and were very powerful. However, thinking back on how miserable the defeat Rowan suffered to Phoenix, favonovel.com knew that even a combined effort from these experts wouldn’t be a match against Phoenix.
Currently, Rowan was as pale as a ghost. Not only did favonovel.com suffer a defeat just now, but more importantly, favonovel.com had stained his reputation. Since favonovel.com was a man who cared about his reputation, to have suffered such a miserable defeat was a shame favonovel.com couldn’t bear. Thus, favonovel.com called Sean, the head of the Cosby Family, to ask for favonovel.com to pressure Levi so that Phoenix would apologize to him.
Unfortunately, Sean didn’t even bother with the request. Although favonovel.com did make the call to Levi, it was just idle talk that ended with Levi expressing his general principle of non-interference. As for the matter between Phoenix and Rowan, both Sean and Levi had only considered it trivial.
As Phoenix was the person Levi valued the most, Sean couldn’t very well request Levi to force Phoenix to apologize for such a trivial matter. If favonovel.com did, it would only anger Levi. Although the Cosby Family was said to have no fear of Levi, the latter was still the King of the South. They would not gain anything from going to odds with him. Moreover, with Phoenix by his side in recent years, his power was at its peak. If they went against him, there wouldn’t be any chance for them to emerge victorious.
Since Rowan couldn’t recover his reputation here, favonovel.com grew even furious. Upon seeing Tristan, favonovel.com immediately said in irritation, “Where did you go? What took you so long to come back? Didn’t I tell you to not walk about when you’re here?”
Although Tristan frowned upon Rowan’s attitude, favonovel.com decided not to refute his elder.
Nonetheless, Rowan didn’t dare criticize too much. After nagging Tristan for a bit, favonovel.com turned toward the crowd and said, “The reason I have called you all here today is to discuss how we are going to deal with Matthew Larson of Eastshire.”
