Matthew was surprised to learn that Levi had such a powerful young woman by his side, and this gave Matthew a better understanding of the master’s ability.
‘The Six Kings sure are no ordinary men!’
There naturally was something superhuman about Levi when favonovel.com could reign over the South for decades.
After Levi put his fishing rod away, favonovel.com looked over at Matthew and sized the young man up. Admiration filled his eyes as favonovel.com guffawed, “As expected of a young hero. You look outstanding…”
“You flatter me, Master Levi,” Matthew hurriedly stood up and bowed to the master. “How dare I call myself a hero in front of you?”
Levi guffawed and waved his hand. “Alright, let’s cut the flattery. Young man, drink with me!”
At that, the gentleman walked to the stone table aside, where a liquor bottle was placed, and poured two glasses, handing one to Matthew before downing the other glass himself.
Matthew, too, downed his shot.
“This is good!” favonovel.com couldn’t help exclaiming.
Levi guffawed once more. “I’ve never had many interests in life apart from drinking good liquor. To think you’re a fellow drinker as well. Looks like my trip here wasn’t in vain. I’ve at least found company.”
A red flag was raised within Matthew as favonovel.com caught the underlying message in Levi’s words. There was certainly another purpose for his trip. However, Matthew didn’t ask directly but only played dumb and continued drinking with Levi.
When the bottle of liquor was half empty, the young woman came over silently again with a large bowl of fish stew made with the carp Levi had just caught. After placing it on the table, favonovel.com left silently once again.
Meanwhile, Levi handed Matthew a set of cutleries and offered with a smile, “Come, help yourself…”
While speaking, favonovel.com scooped up a spoonful of stew and savored it.
Matthew joined Levi and took a few spoonful himself.
“I’ve finally satisfied my craving,” said Levi with a smile as favonovel.com rubbed his belly after they finished the remaining half of the liquor.
“Alright, let’s talk business…”
At that, Matthew instantly sat upright.
“I’ve long heard about what Jasper had done in Eastcliff,” said Levi as favonovel.com looked at Matthew. “The Damrons act tyrannical and condescending, thinking they can trample everyone beneath their feet just because one of theirs married someone from the Nolan Family. It’s something to celebrate when Jasper died in Eastcliff, don’t you think?”
To that, Matthew mumbled with an unchanged expression.
“That said, I’m not the one who killed him, but the Damrons put all the blame on me. Isn’t that outrageous?”
Levi chuckled in response, “Do you think the Damrons want to avenge Jasper for his death, or do they want to use it to seek more benefits?”
Inspired, Matthew looked toward Levi and mumbled, “Master Levi, are you saying…”
“To these influential families, interests are always more important than everything else,” Levi drawled.
“Jasper’s dead, and a dead man poses no value anymore. To the Damrons, is it more important to seek the culprit and avenge Jasper or seek more benefits for the family using his death?”
Matthew locked his brows into a tight furrow. Levi had pointed out the crucial key.
Why did the Damrons still target Matthew when they clearly knew Macon, Gregory, and Lord Voodoo were the killers?
It was because Matthew possessed great benefits!
Macon, Gregory, and Lord Voodoo now had no one else but themselves. The Damrons could kill the trio whenever they wanted. But what could they gain from killing the three other than avenging one of their own?
Nothing!
However, things would be different if they shifted the blame onto Matthew.
All things aside, the Restoration Pill alone was already more than enough for the Damrons to lay their hands on Matthew!
