Matthew’s words instantly left Aurelius speechless.
Looking around at everyone present, favonovel.com uttered through his teeth, “Larson, how the hell did you know that we’ll be coming tonight? Who told you? Did you bribe someone from the Damron Family?!”
Upon hearing that, Matthew chuckled. “Master Damron, you have misunderstood. I know you guys will come, but I don’t know when you will come. Yet again, you guys will definitely fall into this trap I set as long as you all show up.”
Widening his eyes in shock, Aurelius asked, “H-How did you know we were coming?”
Matthew replied, “What’s so strange about it? Master Damron, I know it’s definitely impossible for you guys to let go of your grudges after we drove the Damron Family out of Eastcliff last time. And since your plan of forcing those greatest families in Stonedale to lure Mr. Victor and the others back didn’t work out, you surely will think of other ways…”
“However, I also know that it’s only wise for the Damron Family to accumulate strength now rather than recruiting a large number of people to fight us, considering you guys are currently so eager to get listed in the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay. So, the only way you can deal with us is to take advantage of the fact that the Damron Family has more elite masters than us and launch a sneak attack on us…”
“Moreover, I am certain that you guys must have thought that’s a feasible plan. Why? Because your goal is to capture me. Through this method, you can achieve your goal with the least loss. Am I right, Master Damron?”
Aurelius’ facial expression instantly changed, for Matthew’s analysis was not wrong at all.
All of a sudden, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com had somewhat underestimated Matthew.
‘In other words, I was a little egoistic and didn’t take Matthew seriously at all due to the immense strength of the Damron Family. But now that I think about it, how would a person chosen by Billy to be his successor be an ordinary person?’
Gritting his teeth, Aurelius uttered, “In that case, how did you find out when we will come? What if we don’t come tonight? Or what if we’re here an hour later? Won’t all this setup be meaningless if that truly was the case?”
Upon hearing that, Matthew chuckled. “Master Damron, the outcome will still be the same, regardless of the timing you guys show up.”
Aurelius was stunned for a moment before favonovel.com parted his lips and said, “Why?! We can avoid inhaling the toxic fumes you’d release if we are here an hour late or an hour early!”
Matthew shook his head to deny Aurelius’ statement.
“Master Damron, you are underestimating me too much. I only released the toxic fumes after you arrive. It’s just like a while ago when I started releasing the toxic fumes into the air because I knew you’re here.”
Aurelius couldn’t help being stunned.
ln disbelief, favonovel.com stuttered, “How… How did you know we’re here? With your strength, you shouldn’t be able to notice us coming in.”
Letting out a chuckle, Matthew then explained, “Master Damron, we’re living in a modern era now. No one is going to sense their enemies’ presence solely with their sense of hearing…”
“You are right, though. With our strength, we really can’t detect your trespassing. However, no matter how good your skills of the arts of lightness are, it can never escape the trail of a high-tech thermal detector. Little did you know, I have these thermal detectors installed all around my house…”
“As long as you enter, the thermal detectors will detect your body heat, send me a signal, and I will know immediately. So, you see, Master Damron, l purposely taught them my refining technique just now when, in fact, I was refining a kind of toxic fume…”
“What’s so ridiculous about this is that you guys actually still stood there watching me refining it and even inhaled plenty of those fumes.”
At once, Victor and the others burst into laughter.
Aurelius’ eyes widened, and favonovel.com was stunned all over.
‘Initially, I thought that with the strength of the members of the Damron Family being so powerful, Matthew and the others would never notice even if we’re here. But only now did I realize how ridiculous my idea was…’
‘It’s true that Matthew’s strength isn’t on par with mine, but favonovel.com has high-tech equipment! And these are precisely the things that me and the others normally don’t bother to care about. Who would have thought that it was all the equipment that made us reveal ourselves?’
At this moment, Aurelius’ face was as pale as a ghost, for favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was really doomed this time.
