The whole of Stonedale and Eastshire burst into a tumult when word of Jasper’s death spread across town. However, although Tiger had spread the word and many had learned that Macon, Gregory, and Lord Voodoo were responsible for Jasper’s death, Aurelius, the patriarch of the Damron Family, still publicly demanded Matthew’s presence in Bainbridge.
He wanted Matthew to kneel in front of the Damron Family and give them a satisfactory reply.
The Damrons were so arrogant and condescending that it was as though they regarded Matthew as their slave, someone they could boss around as they pleased.
To that, the remaining families of Eastshire and Stonedale expressed their dissatisfaction toward the Damrons’ attitude, and Victor, even more so, arbitrarily accused the Damrons of making things personal.
It was evident what the Damrons were aiming for when they kept targeting Matthew instead of capturing the culprits, even when they knew who the true killers were. However, the Damrons didn‘t even bother themselves with the families of Stonedale and Eastshire.
Aurelius, even more so, ordered the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale and Eastshire to immediately disassociate themselves from Matthew, or they would be deemed as Matthew’s accomplices and would receive the same treatment as Matthew.
As soon as the order was given, Stonedale and Eastshire burst into an uproar. Everyone knew that the Damrons were overbearing, but never did anyone expect the Damrons to go to such lengths. They downright belittled the families of Stonedale and Eastshire!
Then again, as furious as the families were, none dared to dismiss the Damrons’ order, for they were no match for the Damrons at all. Thus, the families of Stonedale and Eastshire had no choice but to ask Levi, the King of the South, to deal with this matter.
And all of this happened within one day.
Matthew, on the other hand, remained in Eastcliff the entire time, watching as the event unfolded outside.
Melvin had rushed to Eastcliff from Eastshire as well and was sitting in Lakeside Garden with Matthew right then. His scouts had constantly been delivering updates, and favonovel.com burst into laughter after reading the content on a piece of paper.
“Ha! A few members of the Damron Family clamored about wanting to retaliate against Freya. As a result, Heath dismembered the arms of all the Damron Family who had gone to Centourial, then chucked them out, and the Damrons shut up immediately! The Damrons sure bully the weak but fear the strong!”
Matthew, too, chuckled, but the worry in his gaze deepened.
Macon had really killed two birds with one stone by killing Jasper, framing favonovel.com as well as Freya at the same time. However, Freya had Heath to back favonovel.com up, so favonovel.com didn’t need to fear the Damrons at all.
He, on the other hand, had no other support with Billy gone.
So how was favonovel.com to fight the Damrons?
Of course, it wasn’t all hopeless for him. Stonedale and Eastshire were a part of the Six Southern States, after all, and the Six Southern States were considered the South, which was also Levi’s territory.
The crucial thing now was Levi’s stance on the matter.
If Levi was willing to stand up for him, then favonovel.com didn’t have to worry about the Damrons. However, if Levi chose not to do anything about it, things would become seriously problematic for Matthew.
“Mr. Victor should be at Levi’s by now, isn’t he? Has any news come from Levi’s?” Matthew asked.
Melvin shook his head in response. “None so far. It seems that Levi didn’t see Victor at all!”
At that, Matthew frowned. ‘Can it be that Levi doesn’t want to get involved at all?’
Just then, there came a knock at the door, leading Matthew and Melvin to exchange a glance, only to find a hint of surprise on the other’s face. There were many guarding outside, so there was no reason for one of their own to knock.
‘Who could it be at this time?’
As baffled as Matthew was, favonovel.com told one of his men to answer the door.
The door opened to reveal a composed man in a black suit and white gloves.
He bowed slightly while looking at Matthew and said, “Master Levi requests your presence, Mr. Larson…”
