Aurelius’ expression turned ashen, just as Victor had said.
Victor’s gang couldn’t possibly be compared to the top dogs from the Damrons. It wouldn’t be a fair bargain at all to give up the Damrons for Victor’s group!
Aurelius stared at Matthew for a long minute before favonovel.com finally unclenched his fists.
He could tell after all that had happened, Matthew didn’t fear death at all. And considering how Matthew had everyone’s lives in his hands, Aurelius didn’t dare act rashly.
‘My people are doomed if Matthew keeps holding out, favonovel.com thought as favonovel.com sucked in a deep breath…’
“What do you want, Matthew?” favonovel.com uttered in a low tone.
Matthew chuckled at that. “It seems like you are finally willing to talk to me. In that case, how about we head into the house and have a nice chat?”
“There is nothing to talk about! Just tell me what you want for you to cure them!”
Despite Aurelius’ cold and demanding words, Matthew remained calm as favonovel.com replied, “I am afraid we can’t cure them today.”
Aurelius’ face was now frigid.
“You are pushing it, Larson!” favonovel.com roared.
“I am warning you, if anything happens to my people, I promise all of you a horrible death!”
At that, Matthew commented, “Master Damron, this conversation can’t go on if you keep talking to me with that attitude. Fine. Kill us, then. Your men will die here anyway. I am fine with the arrangement!”
Victor also chimed in as favonovel.com laughed, “I am fine with it too! It is totally worth it for an old man like me to give up my life so that the Damrons can’t be a part of the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay!”
The others also laughed as they looked at Aurelius with disdain, completely ignoring his threat.
A livid Aurelius growled, “Larson, when will you be able to give them the antidote?!”
“It’s easy. All I need is for you to make a public announcement and I will immediately give them the antidote.”
Aurelius frowned as favonovel.com asked, “What announcement?”
“Make a public announcement on how Jasper Damron’s death has been investigated, and it has nothing to do with me,” Matthew smiled as favonovel.com added, “And never let the Damrons pick a fight with me ever again. That is all.”
Aurelius balled up his fists again upon hearing those words. His eyes were cold as favonovel.com gave Matthew the death stare.
He finally understood what Matthew’s goal was.
The reason why the Damron Family was able to mobilize a large number of troops to deal with Matthew was because of Jasper’s assassination.
In fact, the Damrons were aware that Jasper was killed by Macon. However, they faked ignorance and blamed it on Matthew as this was their chance to teach Matthew a lesson.
It wasn’t like anyone could say anything about the Damrons’ decision. After all, the case of Jasper’s assassination had been left hanging. Even if everyone speculated that Macon was the murderer, the Damrons pretended not to know anything as no evidence was presented.
No one said anything about how the Damrons wanted to take their revenge on Matthew.
Since a member of the family had passed on, it didn’t seem right for any powerful forces or families to interfere. However, if the investigation was done thoroughly, or if the Damron Family admitted that this matter had nothing to do with Matthew, the Damrons would no longer be able to deal with Matthew openly.
And when the Damrons no longer had a reason to provoke Matthew, the other forces wouldn’t just stand by and watch any longer.
Everyone’s greedy eyes were on Matthew, after all. The Damrons weren’t the only ones who were aware of the benefits of the Restoration Pill.
It was obvious what Matthew’s purpose was for telling them to make an announcement.
The moment the announcement was made, the Damrons would lose whatever leverage they had over Matthew, and this would put an end to everything.
