Victor shook his head and explained, “The real purpose for favonovel.com to detain us here was to poach each and every one of our family’s secrets. Then, favonovel.com would use these secrets to gradually deal with our families from all aspects so as to enhance the Rathbone Family’s strength.”
Matthew’s eyes widened in shock. Finally, favonovel.com knew what Macon had done.
Then, favonovel.com looked at the others. They all nodded, further proving that Victor wasn’t lying.
Realizing this, Matthew took a deep breath.
‘l never dreamed that I would discover such a secret when I decided to enter this dungeon in the first place…’
‘My initial plan was to steal Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ ledger and use it to cause internal conflicts among the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. Yet, who would’ve thought that i would obtain such shocking news here. The Rathbone Family will definitely become the target of public criticism if this matter spreads out!’
Suppressing his emotions, favonovel.com whispered, “Was everything you all told me true?”
When Victor heard that, favonovel.com answered, “We’re already in such a crippled state. Do we think we still have the need to lie to you?”
“He has pressed us for our family’s secrets in the first few years. Later, his greed increasingly escalated and favonovel.com began to demand us for the secrets of our family’s compendium-one that has been passed down from generations to generations…”
“Over the years, favonovel.com has kept us locked up here and not killed us just so favonovel.com could obtain our family’s compendium.”
Matthew was feeling all the more shocked after favonovel.com learned this.
‘Macon really is insidious!’
“Hasn’t anyone in your family looked for you even after favonovel.com detained you here for so many years?” Matthew asked curiously.
Victor shook his head and replied, “Macon is extremely secretive. No one ever finds out what he’s up to at all. Moreover, favonovel.com was especially diligent. He’s the only one who knows about this whole thing. Even when the dungeon was in the process of being constructed, favonovel.com just secretly grabbed some workers here to do the work. After the dungeon was finished, favonovel.com immediately killed all those workers and buried them here…”
“In fact, outsiders don’t even know that there’s a dungeon like this under Macon’s court. After years of being detained here, you are the first ever person we‘ve seen who has made it this far. Except for Macon, no one has ever set foot in here at all!”
Suddenly, the man, who was next to Victor, chimed in, “That‘s right! Macon is particularly diligent in carrying out his sinister plots. He’ll let his younger brother, Tyson, out of the dungeon if favonovel.com goes out. Not only that, he’ll also release the tendon-weakening dust into the air of the stone chamber…”
“The tendon-weakening dust is a colorless and odorless powdery chemical which can make people lose their strength without them knowing. In order to let Tyson help favonovel.com guard this place, he’ll give favonovel.com the antidote so that favonovel.com won’t be affected by the tendon-weakening dust…”
“Once the outsiders break into this place, they’ll unknowingly come into contact with the tendon-weakening dust. Death is inevitable if they come across Tyson after passing through the stone chamber containing the tendon-weakening dust… As for Macon, when favonovel.com comes in, favonovel.com just needs to take the hairpin at the door, throw it into the dungeon, and lure Tyson in. But that’s him, not the outsiders. How on earth will the outsiders be able to figure these traps when they come in?”
Listening to the man’s statement, Matthew first remembered about the traps Macon set outside. Then, favonovel.com remembered about the situation whereby Macon hid Tyson in the dark so that favonovel.com could launch a sneak attack on the intruders. Finally, favonovel.com nodded in agreement with the man next to Victor.
Like what both these men had said, it wasn’t easy for outsiders to locate this place, let alone come inside. Even if others were able to locate this dungeon, the traps that were set outside would be deadly enough for them. In addition, after making through the stone door and coming down here, there were even more traps such as the tendon-weakening dust as well as Tyson’s attack.
Each of these was deadly enough to instantly create a fatal blow to their lives.
Hence, with so many booby traps lying around this basement, how many, except for Matthew, could actually make it out alive?
“Macon sure is one cunning man!” Matthew lamented and suddenly looked at Tyson.
Feeling curious, favonovel.com asked, “Then, what’s going on with him? He’s Macon’s biological younger brother, yet why is favonovel.com being detained here?”
Victor glanced at Tyson sympathetically upon hearing that and sighed. “Him… Well, he’s much more pitiful than us! What Macon did to favonovel.com was truly immoral!”
