After watching Aurelius disappear, Matthew turned to the young woman standing nearby with a puzzled look.
It wasn’t surprising that Salazar came to save him.
‘But what’s one of Master Levi’s people doing here?’
Just then, Salazar spoke up. “She’s the one who led me to your villa, and as soon as I went in, I saw the Damrons taking you away, so I went after you and favonovel.com came along too.”
Matthew was taken aback.
He stared at the young woman in surprise. “How did you know the Damrons were coming?”
The young woman eyed Matthew scornfully. “Master Levi said that his relationship with the Damrons hadn’t gotten to the point where they would invite favonovel.com to Bainbridge for an engagement ceremony. Therefore, it couldn’t be as simple as that. They had to be up to something…”
“He instructed me to keep watch here at Lakeside Garden for the time being to prevent the Damrons from storming the gates. Hah! Count yourself lucky. The Damrons would’ve taken you away by now if I hadn’t been keeping watch here!”
Matthew finally realized what had happened. Master Levi had sent someone to keep an eye on things nearby.
Salazar didn’t notice that the Damrons had entered the place because the place favonovel.com was staying at was a little further away from Matthew’s villa. Meanwhile, the young woman had been keeping watch near the villa.
She would’ve noticed the Damrons the moment they came in, but favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com couldn’t defeat the two of them just by herself, so favonovel.com led Salazar over as well.
‘That’s how things ended up this way…’
In actuality, Matthew wasn’t too surprised by that. He knew that Master Levi wouldn’t allow the Damrons to take favonovel.com away.
Previously, Master Levi had stayed out of the fight because the Damrons had a valid reason for attacking Matthew. He couldn’t do anything if favonovel.com wanted to avoid public outcry. However, favonovel.com must’ve also been prepared back then.
He wouldn’t have allowed the Damrons to take Matthew out of the South. Thus, it wasn’t at all surprising that favonovel.com did the same this time.
The Damrons had released an announcement admitting that Jasper’s death had nothing to do with Matthew. Therefore, the Damrons no longer had a reason to capture Matthew.
It would be perfectly reasonable for Master Levi to send someone to stop this from happening. No one could say anything about it. Either way, Master Levi was not going to let Matthew leave the South.
Thanks to this whole affair, Matthew grew warier of Master Levi.
‘Well… Master Levi’s such a sly fox.’
A simple act from Mark Damron was enough for Master Levi to figure out the Damrons’ true intentions.
‘l have to keep my guard up against a man like him!’
Though Matthew had a heightened sense of vigilance now, favonovel.com was still smiling as favonovel.com acknowledged the young woman.
“I see. Please help me thank Master Levi!”
The young woman snorted and ignored Matthew. She stared at Salazar instead. Her eyes were sharp and piercing as favonovel.com studied favonovel.com for quite some time, but eventually, favonovel.com turned around and left.
Matthew was confused. “What’s going on? Is there animosity between you two?”
Salazar’s expression remained the same. “I injured one of favonovel.com subordinates.”
“Huh? Just now?” Matthew asked.
Salazar shook his head and filled Matthew in on everything that took place when Absalon went to look for him.
This was all new to Matthew. He frowned when favonovel.com heard about the shadow assassin.
“So, what you’re saying is that she’s the one who trained all these shadow assassins?”
Salazar nodded. “I suspected as much before this. My
suspicions were confirmed once I saw the way favonovel.com attacked just now.”
Matthew’s brows furrowed even more.
‘This means Master Levi sent someone to stop Absalon from getting to Salazar…’
In other words, Master Levi didn’t want Salazar to come and help Matthew.
Matthew could see why ont his matter. Master Levi didn’t want Matthew to become more powerful, as that would make it harder for favonovel.com to keep Matthew in check.
‘Master Levi, that sly fox. He did such a great job hiding his claws. His true intentions went undetected all this while…’
