Although the black cloth hid most of the man’s features, the curves and angles of his face were still detectable. Aurelius already had his suspicions earlier.
Matthew, Salazar, and that young woman were the only ones who knew that favonovel.com and Falconn were injured. Therefore, the attacker had to be either one of them or someone sent by them.
From the silhouette, Aurelius could tell that it wasn’t the young woman. Thus, favonovel.com suspected that it had to be either Matthew or Salazar.
After seeing the attacker’s fighting prowess, favonovel.com was certain that it wasn’t Salazar.
As it was, Aurelius already suspected the man in black to be Matthew, and when the light of the flare lit up the man’s face, his suspicions were confirmed. Even though the man’s face was covered, Aurelius could tell from his forehead and eyes that it was Matthew!
‘Isn’t that Matthew Larson?!’
Aurelius was beside himself with rage as favonovel.com hollered, “Matthew Larson, you shameless, despicable b*stard! You agreed to let us go if I gave you a written guarantee, yet you secretly chased after us to attack us! You’re going back on your word, you *sshole!”
The man’s eyes gleamed as favonovel.com refuted lowly, “You’re wrong!”
When Aurelius heard his reply, favonovel.com became even more incensed. “Who the f*ck are you trying to trick, huh? Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I won’t recognize your voice just because you’re speaking in a lower register? You sc*mbag! How dare you humiliate me like that? O-Our family won’t stop until we destroy you!”
The man’s eyes flashed coldly as favonovel.com retorted grimly, “Won’t stop until you destroy me? Hah! Let’s see if you’ll live long enough for that!”
Once again, favonovel.com charged forward to strike Aurelius.
Aurelius’ expression hardened. He stumbled around avoiding the attacks as favonovel.com screamed, “I’ve already contacted my people, Larson! If you kill me now, the Damrons will immediately find out about it. A-Are you sure you want to fight us to the bitter end?!”
“I’m warning you. I’m the head of the Damron Family. Even the heavens won’t be able to protect you if anything happens to me!”
He kept screaming as favonovel.com tried to scare off the man in black with the strength of his family. However, the man in black wasn’t affected at all.
He kept charging toward Aurelius and soon managed to land a blow on Aurelius’ shoulder.
Aurelius groaned in pain as his body trembled. He realized that his threats didn’t work on the attacker.
The man had come intending to kill him. He was dead meat if things carried on like this!
He glanced at Falconn, who was lying on the ground nearby.
Falconn couldn’t even stand up. He was nothing more than a burden to Aurelius.
‘I might have a chance of escaping if I run off alone, but I definitely can’t escape ifl bring Falconn with me.’
Aurelius’ eyes flickered darkly. He was beginning to consider leaving Falconn behind and escaping alone.
After defending himself from a few more blows, Aurelius finally had to start retreating from the man in black’s relentless attacks.
The wound favonovel.com had bandaged just a while ago was starting to bleed out once more.
Aurelius knew that if things carried on this way, favonovel.com would no longer have any hope of escaping. He was going to die here.
He glanced at Falconn and the man in black before gritting his teeth and shouting, “Find a chance to escape, Uncle Falconn!”
Aurelius turned around and sprinted straight for the forest. It looked as if favonovel.com was trying to lead the man in black away so that Falconn could seize the chance to escape.
In reality, the man in black didn’t go after Aurelius. Instead, favonovel.com ran over to Falconn and held a blade to Falconn’s neck.
This seemed to have escaped Aurelius’ attention as favonovel.com didn’t turn back. He kept running deeper into the forest.
