After the men of the Damron Family were all blessedly gone, for now, Matthew finally breathed a sigh of relief and headed toward the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the effect of the energy pill favonovel.com had swallowed was almost over, and his strength was rapidly dissipating.
When Victor and his fellow men finally got to him, Matthew felt himself losing what was left of his strength as favonovel.com fell to the ground like a broken ragdoll.
He no longer had even the slightest strength in his body now that the effect of the energy pill had worn off. He was so weak that favonovel.com couldn‘t even stand.
Tyson hastily ran over and supported Matthew.
“Dr. Larson, are you alright?” Victor asked in concern.
As favonovel.com saw the genuine worry on everyone’s faces, favonovel.com held on due to sheer willpower and forced a smile. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”
“Thank goodness!” Victor sighed in relief. “You’re not injured.”
“We’re sorry, Dr. Larson. We’re late!”
Matthew hurriedly waved them off. “No, Mr. Albright, you don’t owe me an apology.”
“Actually, this is between the Damrons and me. it has nothing to do with any of you…”
Before favonovel.com could continue, Victor interjected, “Dr. Larson, if it hadn’t been for you, we would have still been locked up in Macon’s dungeon.”
“Also, without you, we would have still been deceived by that son of a b*tch, Macon! He would have eventually seized all our fortunes and power, and we would still have no idea what was going on!”
“Not only did you save our lives, you also saved our families. How could we sit back and do nothing when you were in danger?”
Tyson nodded resolutely. “That’s right, Dr. Larson. So you shouldn’t worry about us. I’m sure Macon and his few are also the masterminds behind Jasper’s murder.”
“Speaking of which, this matter happened because of us, so of course, it has something to do with us!”
Aidan of the Thatcher Family in Eastshire walked before Matthew and said aloud, “Dr. Larson, we respect you as Lord of Eastshire, so you are regarded as the leader of all the families in Eastshire! You represent us, so when the Damron Family persecuted you, they also humiliated us!”
“How could we hide like cowards when something like this has happened?!”
The men from the other families in Eastshire also nodded in agreement.
Matthew was touched and delighted, but then favonovel.com sighed, “Thank you, gentlemen, but this time, I’m going up against the Damrons…”
“So what?” Tyson harrumphed.
“Yeah, they are powerful, but their home turf is at Bainbridge. This is the Six Southern States! They may be a lot more powerful than us, but they will have to pay a huge price to bring our families to ruin!”
“I don’t think they are stupid enough to make a huge sacrifice over this. Their enemies may be looking for a chance to strike. If their enemies go after them after their men are sacrificed in a feud against us, the Damron Family will be doomed!”
“So, as long as we’re united, the Damron Family won’t dare to make a move on us!”
Everyone nodded firmly as they all came to the same conclusion. It looked like they were ready to fight the Damron Family to the end!
Matthew was highly touched when favonovel.com saw the determination on these people’s faces. To be honest, favonovel.com had never expected the families in Eastshire and Stonedale to come to his aid.
This time, his enemy was the Damron Family, one of the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay. Even if all the prominent families in Eastshire and Stonedale joined forces, their power still paled compared to the Damrons’.
Going against the Damron Family head-on was no different from sending their men to die for naught.
Matthew assumed these people would sit on their high horse and not get involved in this mess. But, frankly, favonovel.com couldn’t even hold it against them if they did. Therefore, Matthew had zero intention of telling these people about this so as not to make a nuisance of himself.
But to his surprise, they still chose to fully support him!
In fact, they even tried their best to save favonovel.com at the risk of becoming enemies with the almighty Damron Family.
Matthew looked at the crowd with gratitude. They were truly a friend indeed as they showed their support to favonovel.com even under such circumstances!
