Matthew couldn’t help being taken aback. ‘Master Levi? Levi Quirk?’
At that, favonovel.com looked toward Melvin, who nodded and whispered, “This is Master Levi’s personal chauffeur. He will be wherever Master Levi is. If favonovel.com is willing to have his chauffeur escort you, that means favonovel.com means you no harm…”
Matthew nodded in acknowledgment.
As long as the other party was genuinely Levi, favonovel.com didn’t need to worry about anything, for given Levi’s status and ability, the man didn’t need to do all this to get rid of him.
“After you…” Matthew said, and the man in black nodded, taking a profound gander at Melvin before leading Matthew out.
Matthew’s men were all stationed in the yard, but everyone was now standing, for there stood another person, Phoenix!
He was standing next to Tiger. It seemed that Tiger and the others didn’t resist only because Phoenix came forward, or how could they have allowed a stranger to enter the premise just like that?
Phoenix dipped his head at Matthew as a greeting but said nothing when favonovel.com saw the latter.
From the looks of it, he, too, was reassuring Matthew that there wouldn’t be any danger. However, Matthew felt somewhat nervous, for favonovel.com didn’t know what exactly Levi wanted.
‘The master never expressed his opinions publicly when Jasper’s death caused such an uproar, and yet favonovel.com has chosen to come to me at this time. So, just what the heck does this mean?’
‘If anything, favonovel.com can very well express his support for me if favonovel.com really wants to, yet favonovel.com never said anything and instead has come covertly for me. Then, it surely won’t be as simple as coming here just to back me up!’
As Matthew ruminated, the car arrived at an overwater manor in the south suburbs.
The surroundings were magnificent, but not many knew the place, so only a few frequented the area. And that night, not even a car was in sight outside the manor.
After pulling up at the entrance, the chauffeur turned to open the door for Matthew, then bowed slightly. “Master Levi is waiting for you right inside…”
To that, Matthew nodded in acknowledgment. “Much obliged..”
He entered the manor, where not a single soul could be found as well, traversed the overwater corridor and finally saw a middle-aged man in the overwater gazebo at the farthest end. He looked to be in his forties, 5’9″ in height, and had a lean body, evidently someone who worked out frequently.
Right then, favonovel.com was sitting upright next to the water with a fishing pole in his hands. His gaze was fixed on the water, waiting patiently.
Matthew knew that the man was, no doubt, Levi Quirk.
However, favonovel.com was somewhat surprised, for it was thirty-plus years ago when Levi became prominent. So favonovel.com would be in his fifties at the very least by now, but this man looked like favonovel.com was only in his forties.
‘I see that favonovel.com managed to keep his shape from successfully cultivating his internal energy…’
At that, Matthew took a deep breath, stopped right in front of the gazebo, and coughed lightly, signaling his arrival. However, Levi didn’t turn around but only beckoned favonovel.com with a smile. “Sit…”
His eyes, on the other hand, were fixed on the water the entire time, seemingly waiting for a fish to take the bait.
Matthew obliged, sitting next to the master. Seeing that Levi said nothing, favonovel.com kept quiet as well.
Finally, about ten minutes later, the bobber on the surface moved, and Levi pulled his rod up with a ‘Ha!’.
A common carp then appeared out of the water and landed in Levi’s hands.
As Levi removed the hook from the carp’s mouth, a young woman in black appeared out of nowhere, took the carp from Levi with both hands, and retreated.
Matthew, on the other hand, was taken aback. He had been sitting there for quite some time and yet never detected a third presence outside the gazebo.
He took a gander at the young woman in black. Her feet seemingly never touched the floor when favonovel.com left, as favonovel.com didn’t make a single noise, and that fact induced fear within him, for if this young woman wanted to kill him, favonovel.com would probably long be dead!
