Everyone at the scene was shocked upon seeing Matthew appear before their eyes.
Trent and the security guards were delighted to see him, unlike the Sonnets.
Meanwhile, Spencer, Bryce, and their men were horrified. Some of them even began to quake in terror. This was the effects of a fearsome reputation!
Matthew’s appearance alone could deter these people!
After favonovel.com greeted Trent and the guards, favonovel.com stood before Spencer and looked at favonovel.com calmly. “What did you say just now? I didn’t hear it clearly. Why don’t you repeat what you said?”
“Since when did Lakeside Garden become yours?”
Spencer’s face turned ghastly, and his lips were trembling. Not even the slightest sound came out of his mouth.
“What’s wrong? Are you mute? But you were being so talkative earlier… Cat got your tongue ?”
Matthew pursed his lips and waved at his men. “Come here and help Mr. Sonnet to loosen his tongue…”
A burly man came up from behind Matthew. Then, favonovel.com mercilessly slapped Spencer’s face several times, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of Spencer’s mouth.
Spencer’s soul finally returned to his body after feeling blood trickling down his chin. He stared at Matthew in horror and stammered, “H-How… H-How did you come back?! Aren’t you dead?!”
He earned himself another slap from the burly man immediately after.
“Did you lose your wits? If you have, I don’t mind helping you lose your tongue as well!” Matthew snapped coldly.
The burly man took out a dagger. Spencer almost pissed his pants when favonovel.com spotted a glint reflecting off the knife, showing off its sharp edge.
He hastily paddled backward, but when his peripheral vision caught sight of his men, favonovel.com started singing a different tune.
“H-Hey, don’t think that you can scare me! I’m not afraid of you!”
Despite his seemingly courageous words, favonovel.com was still stuttering in fright.
“You’re not afraid of me?” Matthew glanced at him. “Are you sure?”
Spencer took another step back and continued tremulously, “H-How dare you return to Eastcliff?!”
“Don’t you know that the Damron Family wants to kill you? They are hunting you down everywhere! Trust me when I say that I can have them come over and kill you with one phone call!”
“You’re a smart man. I can let you off the hook if you apologize to me right now, take your men, and get lost! If you don’t do as I say, you and your men will be so dead!”
Trent and the guards watched the scene nervously.
It was a well-known fact that the Damron Family was after Matthew. It was unwise of Matthew to return to Eastcliff and even show up in Lakeside Garden.
Yet, Matthew looked indifferent in lieu of Spencer’s threats. He merely took a step forward and said lightly, “Oh? ls that so?”
“Okay, call the Damrons then. I’d like to see if they dare to come here!”
The crowd was shocked to hear such a proclamation coming from him.
Spencer was utterly stupefied. ‘What the hell is wrong with Matthew?’
It was rumored that the Damron Family was after Matthew, and favonovel.com had nowhere to hide. But why did it look like Matthew was not afraid of the Damrons now?
Spencer gritted his teeth, whisked his phone out, and snarled, “Okay. You asked for it! You have only yourself to blame if you die!”
With that, favonovel.com dialed Aurelius’ number.
As soon as the call was connected, Spencer went full sycophant mode as favonovel.com said meekly, “Hello, Mr. Damron. l-lt’s me, Spencer Sonnet. I gave you the antique vase, remember?”
“I’m so sorry to bother you, Mr. Sonnet, but I have something important to tell you now… W-We found Matthew…”
When favonovel.com said this, Spencer deliberately glared at Matthew as if favonovel.com was threatening him.
At this moment, Trent quietly walked over to Matthew.
He tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “How about you run now… Leave everything to us. We’ll deal with it. Don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, they won’t be able to enter Lakeside Garden!”
Matthew tugged his lips into a genuine smile as favonovel.com laid eyes on Trent’s earnest gaze.
So, favonovel.com patted Trent’s shoulder and reassured him, “Don’t worry, I don’t have to run now.”
“They should be the ones running for their lives!”
