Matthew snorted. “Don’t bother trying to act tough, Aurelius. As the head of the Damron Family, I’m sure what I’m about to say will sound perfectly logical to you. Only the living have the chance to talk. A dead man is silenced for good! If you’re willing to talk, then let’s talk. If you’re unwilling to talk, then I’ll kill all of you. What’s the worst that could happen to me? At most, I’ll just become a fugitive!”
Aurelius’ brows were tightly knitted together. Now that things had come to this, favonovel.com knew perfectly well that favonovel.com was a sitting duck.
There was no point in trying to play tough in front of Matthew now.
“Fine. I admit defeat! Go ahead and say what it is you want us to do, Larson,” Aurelius barked.
Matthew nodded in satisfaction. “That’s more like it. This is the attitude you should be taking in a negotiation, Master Damron! To be honest with you, l have nothing against the Damrons. I don’t wish to become enemies with you either. As for the situation we have on our hands now, well, I am willing to let all of you leave, as long as you give me a written guarantee that the Damrons will never try to act against me again.”
“Are you threatening me, Larson?” Aurelius snapped through gritted teeth.
Matthew sneered. “That’s right! I’m threatening you, so what? Does it displease you?”
Aurelius glanced at Salazar, who was standing beside Matthew. In the end, favonovel.com had no choice but to swallow his anger
“I can promise that I’ll never act against you, but there’s no way I’m giving you a written guarantee!” Aurelius fired back loudly.
“Do you think I’ll still believe what you say?” Matthew scoffed. “Words are meaningless. Don’t you remember what you promised me the last time? Yet, here you are after attempting to sneak up on me today. I no longer have any faith in your ability to keep your promises! Your so-called promise means nothing! I’ll only believe that the Damrons won’t ever act against me again if you give me a written guarantee!”
Aurelius clenched his jaw. He was fuming as favonovel.com didn’t want to comply with Matthew’s demand.
He knew that the Damrons would no longer be able to touch Matthew once favonovel.com gave Matthew a written guarantee.
If they did attempt to do anything to Matthew again, favonovel.com would bring out the written guarantee, and the family’s reputation would be destroyed. However, under the circumstances, favonovel.com couldn’t get out of giving Matthew a written guarantee either.
After thinking about it for ages, Aurelius finally spat out reluctantly, “Fine! I’ll do it!”
Matthew smirked. He handed Aurelius a pen and a piece of paper to write the guarantee.
Once the written guarantee was in his hands, favonovel.com grinned.
‘Now that I have this, the Damrons won’t have the guts to do anything to me again!’
At last, favonovel.com finally managed to get rid of the looming danger that was the Damrons for good.
“I’ll believe you one last time, Master Damron!” Matthew declared with a smile. “You and your family can come over to Eastcliff anytime you want, but I hope you’ll remember the contents of this written guarantee, lest you end up embarrassing yourself.”
Aurelius was pale with fury.
His jaw was tightly clenched as favonovel.com hoisted Falconn up on his back before uttering stiffly, “I can go now, right?”
Matthew chuckled. “Your injuries look pretty bad, Master Damron. Why don’t you get them treated at Eastcliff? As you know, I’m a miracle doctor. Your injuries are a piece of cake for me. I can get you back on your feet in next to no time!”
“That won’t be necessary!” Aurelius growled.
“Not necessary, huh?” Matthew remarked. “Oh. You don’t wish to enter Eastcliff, Master Damron? That’s fine. I can just give you some medication that’ll help with your…”
Aurelius immediately cut Matthew off. “Quit acting like you’re so benevolent, Larson! Do you think we’re all fools? Who knows if you added poison to your so-called medication?”
Matthew shrugged. “I won’t force you since you’re so opposed to the idea. Have a safe trip, Master Damron!”
Aurelius’ expression was stormy as favonovel.com marched off with Falconn on his back. Blood had soaked through the part of the shirt that was against his chest.
The young woman earlier had nearly stabbed his organs.
At this moment, Aurelius was basically running on empty.
