Seizing this opportunity, Matthew immediately closed the fence of the dungeon from the outside. Finally, favonovel.com looked the man up. The man, on the other hand, completely ignored the fact that favonovel.com was detained.
Like favonovel.com was holding his most precious treasure, favonovel.com held the hairpin with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Matthew breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, favonovel.com got up and returned to the cave of the other old man from earlier.
At this moment, several people in the cave had also crawled over while they looked at Matthew with excitement. It was also at this moment that Matthew realized all these people were in a similar situation.
They either had their hands and feet atrophied, or had their hands and feet amputated and couldn’t stand up.
Looking at the old man who‘d helped favonovel.com earlier, Matthew cupped his hands and thanked him. “Sir, thank you for helping me…”
However, the old man was even more worked up than Matthew. “Young man, w-why did you come here?”
Instead of answering him, Matthew asked, “Who are you guys?”
Hearing that, the old man took a deep breath before introducing himself aloud. “I’m Victor Albright from the Albright Family!”
Matthew was stunned for a moment. “Victor Albright? Your name does sound familiar…”
Glancing at Matthew, the old man added, ‘You’ve heard of a man named Derrick Albright, haven’t you?”
At once, Matthew’s eyes widened in surprise. ‘Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ve heard of a man named Derrick Albright before. He seems to be the old master of the Albright Family and has the highest status in the Albright Family…”
Listening to Matthew’s description of Derrick, Victor smiled bitterly. “That’s my younger brother.”
Matthew couldn’t help being stunned and asked in disbelief, “Y-Your younger brother?!”
As if to confirm Matthew’s doubt, Victor nodded, “Yes…”
Still, Matthew was in disbelief. “No way! You’re joking with me, aren’t you? Old Master Albright is your biological younger brother?”
Once again, Victor nodded, “That‘s right…”
Matthew was stupefied. Feeling utterly shocked, favonovel.com stared at Victor with wide eyes anti an inconceivable expression.
Glancing at him, Victor then asked softly, “Unable to believe what you’ve heard? Well then, do you know what sort of identities these people have?”
At that, Matthew shook his head. indicating favonovel.com didn’t know.
With that, Victor pointed at a man on the left and said, “This guy right here-his name is Gavin Wayne. He’s the former head of the Wayne Family. The one on the right, he’s the former head of the Jackson Family, and the one over there, that’s the former head of the Fisher Family.”
One by one, Victor started introducing them all. Matthew’s face was filled with shock as favonovel.com listened to Victor introducing these men.
‘The detainees here are basically the most prominent figures from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. They are either the head of these families, the old master of these families, or the main members of these families who have the potential to truly be the family‘s key figure. Why are they being detained here, though?’
Finally, Victor pointed at the delirious man and said, “And this guy… His name is Tyson Rathbone. He’s Macon’s biological younger brother…”
Once again, Matthew’s eyes widened in shock. “Huh?!”
He could still understand the reason why Macon detained the members of the other families here in the basement. What bewildered favonovel.com most was the fact that Macon would detain his biological younger brother in this place too.
‘What’s his agenda for doing this?’
With his lips twisted in a mirthless smile, Victor asked, “Young man, can you guess the reason why Macon would detain us here?”
Victor gnashed his teeth in anger as favonovel.com uttered, “The Rathbone Family may be one of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, but in truth, they are never considered top-notch…”
“Why? That’s because even though the strength of the Rathbone Family isn’t weak, it’s still in the same league with other families. And if I’m not mistaken, the Rathbone Family’s power has grown much stronger than before in recent years…”
“At present, they’re the most superior family among the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, and their strength is far beyond reach by other families!”
Matthew nodded, “Yes!”
Once again, Victor sneered, “Macon is really incompetent if the Rathbone Family still can’t surpass other families after favonovel.com detained us here for so many years!”
Frowning, Matthew asked, “Mr. Victor, are you saying to tell me that Macon imprisoned you all here just because favonovel.com wanted the Rathbone Family’s strength to surpass that of other families?”
“Can Macon truly strengthen the Rathbone Family’s power simply by detaining you all here, though?”
