Melvin shook his head. “Things aren’t as simple as you think. The Damrons aren’t weak either, you know. If anything, they’re a prospective family to the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay as well…”
“Sure, Levi can defeat them, but he’ll pay a sizable price for it as well. He wouldn’t want to make such a move unless favonovel.com becomes desperate now, would he?”
He continued, “However, things will be different if you marry Brittany! After you marry her, the Damrons wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you, and the Restoration Pill will remain in the South. Besides, after you marry Brittany, no one else will dare think about seizing the pill ever again. That way, he’ll have kept the pill within the South without firing a shot!”
After listening to Melvin’s deduction, Matthew locked his brows into a deep furrow. He finally understood why Levi had come to Eastcliff.
This man was truly scheming and hard to guard against. Thanks to Matthew’s faithfulness toward his marriage, favonovel.com didn’t say yes to Levi’s proposal. If it were someone else, they would probably have fallen into Levi’s trap just like that.
At that, Matthew took a deep breath and mumbled, “Master Newman was indeed right. You really can’t show your back to Levi…”
“Naturally,” answered Melvin. “But as long as you’re within the South and you don’t pose a threat to him, you two won’t be fighting any time soon. Right now, the most important thing for you is to think of a way to deal with the Damrons. You’d have rejected Brittany’s protection when you rejected Levi’s offer. So what will you do when the Damrons come for you?”
Matthew fell into deep thought at that. This was truly the most troubling problem at hand.
He hadn’t had a good idea of what these influential families were capable of in the past. But after being exposed to the Cosby’s power in their residence, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was no match for the Damrons for now. Even if favonovel.com had the dozens of great families of Stonedale and Eastshire behind his back, they still had nothing against the Damrons.
“I guess I can only take one step at a time,” said Matthew after a long silence.
“Melvin, head to Mightwater to look after Natalie, Sasha, and the lot for me, will you?”
To that, Melvin chuckled. “What? Is this your way of keeping me out of danger? You know, I’ve come to realize that you always think about others before yourself. How can you be thinking about other people when you should be thinking about saving yourself when it has already come to this?”
Matthew chuckled as well and leaned against the couch, saying, “Well, you guys can’t do much for me even if you stay anyway. So why sacrifice everyone when my death suffice?”
At that, Melvin got up to leave. “I will leave, but only after you’re dead.”
Matthew felt touched for some reason as favonovel.com watched Melvin leave. Although the man looked flippant and even incredibly lecherous, in reality, favonovel.com was more loyal toward friends than most.
What was more, favonovel.com had been of constant help to Matthew in the long period they had gotten to know each other, but Matthew had never returned the favor whatsoever.
Thus, how could Matthew not trust someone like Melvin, who would be willing to stay with favonovel.com until the end when faced with grave danger?
Meanwhile, Melvin didn’t leave Lakeside Garden after leaving Matthew’s mansion. Instead, favonovel.com turned to another residence within Lakeside Garden.
The owner of the house was Absalon Walden, a rich man in Eastcliff. He was someone who did legit business.
The family was having their meal when Melvin entered unannounced.
Absalon was first stumped when favonovel.com saw Melvin, but favonovel.com very quickly stood up and waved to his wife and children.
“You guys should head upstairs…”
