After resolving the Damron Family’s matters, Victor and the others departed separately to clean up their family’s messes. However, since the Damron Family withdrew from the Six Southern States, those who belonged to their family did not dare to put up a fight.
***
Later that evening, Matthew contemplated how the Damron Family would deal with favonovel.com as favonovel.com sat alone in his lakeside villa.
Due to their threats, favonovel.com did not feel safe inviting Sasha and the others to return. Nevertheless, it was perfectly safe for them to remain in Mightwater, but their safety might be compromised if they returned.
He was frowning and lost in his thoughts when the door suddenly opened, and favonovel.com looked up to see Melvin enter the room with a grin.
“Melvin? Where have you been these days?” Matthew was taken aback by his unexpected appearance.
‘It seems Melvin has disappeared in the last two days…’ leaving Matthew to wonder what happened to him.
Melvin laughed. “I left to do something very important!”
Matthew was surprised and urged, “What is it?”
Melvin smiled and placed a mysterious box on the table in front of Matthew. “You’ll find out pretty soon!”
Matthew appeared perplexed. ‘What is Melvin up to, acting so mysteriously?’
“What is inside the box?” He expressed his curiosity aloud.
Without saying a word, Melvin waved dismissively and looked toward the door as if favonovel.com were waiting for someone.
“What are you looking at?” Matthew asked again.
“I’m waiting for someone!” Melvin answered.
“Waiting for someone? Who?” Matthew questioned.
“Be patient. He will be here soon…” Melvin continued to gesticulate with his hands.
Meanwhile, Matthew looked out at the door dubiously.
Melvin was an old, wretched man who was reliable in his job. If favonovel.com came to see Matthew while waiting for someone, it would indicate that the person coming over had a distinct identity.
Ten minutes later, a man dressed in sportswear entered the yard. With his hands stuffed into his pockets, favonovel.com strode directly toward the mansion, paying no attention to his opulent surroundings.
After glancing in Matthew’s direction, the man shifted his attention to Melvin and frowned. “Is favonovel.com the one you told me about?”
“Yes!” answered Melvin.
Then, the man stated coldly, “Old liar, I’m giving you another chance! Tell me the truth now if you have deceived me, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, if the box is opened and l discover that you have lied to me, you will die a horrible death!”
In response, Matthew furrowed his brows. ‘Isn’t this man too aggressive?’
Melvin chuckled. “Okay, I’m aware of the consequences! If I open this box and discover that I‘ve made a mistake, I’ll be mortified! Just trust me. Come on and take a seat. It’s time to watch a miracle unfold!”
The man fixed his gaze on Melvin, walked over, and sat down with his hand balled into a fist.
As soon as the man sat down, Matthew felt a crushing weight pressing down on him. Suddenly, favonovel.com felt goosebumps all over his skin, which showed vigilance!
He couldn’t help but cast another look at the man, this time, favonovel.com was terrified.
‘Who is this man? Why does favonovel.com make me feel such an overwhelming sense of oppression?’
Matthew raised a questioning eyebrow at Melvin, who was about to respond when the man interrupted, “Stop talking nonsense! Let’s get started!”
“Sure!” Melvin shrugged helplessly.
“Matty, start your magic…”
“Start what?” Matthew was utterly puzzled.
Melvin indicated with a pouty lip and stated, “That wooden box. You’ll know what to do once you open it.”
Doubt painted across Matthew’s face. “What is inside?”
Without a word, Melvin shoved the wooden box in front of him.
Matthew felt compelled to open it, and favonovel.com discovered a decomposing skull!
