As the Cosbys watched Raven and the others leave, there was a hushed whisper in the room.
The crowd stared openly at Matthew in shock while their faces were filled with curiosity. These people couldn’t understand why someone like Raven would treat Matthew so well. Raven didn‘t even believe what Sean said, yet favonovel.com trusted everything that came out of Matthew’s mouth.
How could an esteemed person like Raven trust others so easily?
The crowd watched Matthew with a mixture of admiration and curiosity. After all, not many people could gain Raven’s trust.
Once the chaos had settled, Sean thanked Matthew personally.
If Matthew had not intervened in the battle tonight, the Cosbys might have prevailed, but they would have had to pay dearly.
As Wilfred hadn’t fully recovered, the Cosbys weren‘t in a position to absorb any huge losses. Sean also personally attended to Matthew’s accommodations. After that, Sean went to the backyard and arrived at the place where Wilfred was resting.
The old man was sitting with his knees crossed as favonovel.com was quietly meditating. The sight filled Sean’s heart with joy.
Wilfred hadn’t been able to practice for more than a year. To be able to practice his beloved martial arts now meant that favonovel.com was truly on the path of recovery.
Slowly, Wilfred opened his eyes.
“Dad, how are you feeling?” asked Sean.
Wilfred slowly nodded. “Dr. Larson is the real deal, all right. I feel just as fine as before the injury…”
Sean beamed. “Dad, that’s amazing! This is great news! According to the doctor, you’ll be fully recovered in a week. When that time comes, we’ll head over to Centourial and give Heath Solis what favonovel.com deserves!”
After hearing this, Wilfred immediately glared at him. “Be quiet!”
The stunned Sean stopped talking.
In a somber tone, Wilfred continued, “I don’t want to hear any more talk of revenge from you. As head of the household, you should know how hard it is for a family like ours to pass our traditions down…”
“There are too many people out there who want to ruin us and take our place. Heath Solis is one of the Six Kings. In terms of strength, favonovel.com rivals the Cosbys. Even if we defeat him, we’ll have to pay a terrible price. If that happens, there are many who would seize the chance to wipe us out.”
Sean lowered his head in shame. “You’re right, Dad. I spoke too hastily…”
Wilfred’s rage wasn’t assuaged by Sean’s contrition. “I’ve told you many times. You are the head of the Cosby Family. You need to look at the big picture! Hell, Dr. Larson has dealt with this matter more prudently than you.”
Sean scratched his head. “What do you mean?‘
Wilfred shook his head despondently. “Sometimes, I don’t know what to say about you. You still haven’t realized it? Matthew is helping us out by pleading on Zina’s behalf.”
Sean was confused. “What? H-How is that going to help us?”
At that, Wilfred glared at his son. “lf Matthew hadn’t pleaded for mercy, how would you have dealt with Zina?”
The question caught Sean off-guard. “I…”
He was stumped as favonovel.com had no idea what to say.
Zina was Heath Solis’ favorite disciple. If anything happened to Zina, Heath would wage total war on the Cosbys. As head of the household, favonovel.com knew it wasn’t in the family’s interests to hurt Zina.
Yet, what should they do if they weren’t going to kill Zina?
Were they going to simply let favonovel.com go?
If they did that, then the Cosby Family’s reputation would be in tatters.
If word of this got out, everyone would say that the Cosbys were scared of Heath Solis and that they let Zina go because they were afraid of hurting her.
When that happens, what sort of future would the Cosby Family have?
