Matthew took a deep breath.
‘Levi sure isn’t the King of the South for nothing. Look at him! He found the crux of the matter at one glance…’
To put it bluntly, the Damrons were latching onto Matthew because of the benefits favonovel.com could provide!
After a moment of silence, Matthew mumbled, “This is what they call a man’s ability and ambition can be the death of him, isn’t it?”
To that, Levi smiled. “When what you can provide outweighs your ability, you’ll find yourself in such circumstances easily. We live in a world governed by the laws of the jungle. The strong will always keep their eyes on whatever others have. Many would be willing to take the risk if the benefits provided are tempting enough.”
Matthew couldn’t help smiling wryly at that. “If things are as you say, Master Levi, then I’m inevitably doomed this time, aren’t I?”
Levi put his glass down with a faint smile and suddenly diverted the topic. “By the way, I visited Brittany before coming over. She seemed to have found out what had happened to Billy and had been feeling down in the dumps lately. Nothing interests favonovel.com except for when I mention you… Her eyes would only light up a little at that time.”
Matthew was baffled, unsure what Levi was trying by bringing this up out of the blue.
“Brittany’s like a sister to me,” Matthew mumbled.
“I would visit favonovel.com every now and then as well. Then again, anyone would inevitably feel sad when they’re met with such news…”
At that, Levi looked into the distance. “Billy and I go way back, and I watched Brittany grow up myself. I don’t have any children to call my own, but I adore the young lady. So much so that I even asked Billy if favonovel.com could let me be favonovel.com godfather… It breaks my heart to see favonovel.com upset.”
Matthew decided not to say anything at all at this point, for favonovel.com seriously had no clue where Levi was taking this conversation. Levi, on the other hand, turned to Matthew suddenly.
“Matthew, do you know why I never expressed anything regarding the Damrons’ issue?”
“Please, do tell…” Matthew bowed slightly.
“Billy told me to look after you before favonovel.com left,” Levi explained. “Actually, I do look after you over many things…”
Matthew nodded in agreement. ‘Well, he’s not wrong…’
For instance, Phoenix personally dealt with the Neverland Pharmaceuticals incident. Though favonovel.com said favonovel.com was there to deal with Raven, the man had also indeed done Matthew a major favor.
If Levi hadn‘t given Phoenix the go in the shadows, Phoenix probably wouldn’t have taken the liberty to sort things out himself.
Levi continued, “I can help you deal with the matters within the South. I‘m the King of the South, after all. People within the South will still listen to me. But I can’t stretch my hands beyond the borders. Take the Damron Family’s incident this time, for instance, what will the nation think of me if I stand up for you in front of everyone?”
“We have nothing to do with each other. The nation will only think that I will fight the Damrons because I see great benefit to you, and I want it all to myself. By then, the people I have to face wouldn’t just be the Damrons anymore.”
Matthew’s heart skipped a beat.
As much as Levi was justifying his reason for not voicing his opinion, Matthew could tell the master was implying something as well.
Levi’s ‘we have nothing to do with each other’ was clearly a hint for him. However, Matthew didn’t say it outright but played dumb.
“Alas! I understand your situation, Master Levi. I will deal with the Damrons myself…”
“But it’s not like this is set in stone,” said Levi with a smile.
“Matthew, if I can find a reason that can shut the nations’ mouths up, then going up against the Damrons will be a piece of cake, no?”
