Matthew was startled. “W-What went missing?”
“Falconn’s body,” Melvin replied. “My men found the location where the Damrons had been ambushed last night, but the Damrons are already there. They’re looking everywhere for Falconn’s body right now.”
“The body went missing?” Matthew repeated. “How’s that possible? He’s dead. Why would anyone take his body away? What do they want to do with his body? Who’d do such a thing?”
Melvin shrugged. He couldn’t figure it out either.
After mulling it over in silence, Matthew stood up. “Where were they ambushed?”
“What’re you trying to do?” Melvin asked.
“I want to take a look around,” Matthew said. “I can get out of this sticky situation if I can find clues to prove that it’s not my doing.”
The two of them gathered Salazar and a few other men before rushing over to the site where Aurelius and Falconn had been ambushed.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the location.
A large crowd surrounded the area. There were twenty to thirty of them searching all around. These were the Damrons.
They exchanged glances when they saw a group of people approaching, and one man came forward to stop Matthew’s car.
“This area is blocked off. Scram!” The man barked at them haughtily as if favonovel.com was ordering his servant around.
Tiger, who was at the wheel, instantly got annoyed.
“Do you think this place belongs to you?” Tiger roared back. “What makes you think you can tell us to scram?!”
The man’s expression became stormy. “I’m a member of the Bainbridge Nolans. Is that good enough for you? I’m warning you. The Damrons are here for official business. No one’s allowed to come near this place. I’m in afoul mood today, so you’ll get lost at once if you know what’s good for you. If not, go ahead and see if I don’t send all of you b*stards to hell right now!”
Tiger was about to fire back at the man when Matthew got out of the car.
“So what if you’re the Damrons? This is Eastcliff. You Damrons don’t have the right to order anyone around here!” Matthew declared coldly.
The man was taken aback. He was used to throwing his weight around and getting his way whenever favonovel.com brought up the Damron name. No one dared to show any disrespect to the Damrons.
He eyed Matthew with a frown. “What’s with the bravado, punk? Are you looking down on the Damrons? Who the f*ck are you? Go ahead and tell me your name if you dare!”
Matthew smirked and replied coolly, “The name’s Matthew Larson!”
The man’s expression stiffened at once as favonovel.com subconsciously took a step back.
The Damron name was enough to scare off anyone else, but not Matthew. Even Aurelius had failed to threaten Matthew despite coming to Eastcliff in person, let alone this man. Most importantly, Aurelius told the Damrons that Matthew killed Falconn.
‘Is Matthew Larson here now because favonovel.com wants to kill us too?’
The thought was enough to send the man retreating even further.
He had a petrified look in his eyes as favonovel.com stared at Matthew.
His voice trembled as favonovel.com spoke. “Y-You’re Matthew Larson? What are you trying to do? I-I’m warning you. W-We’re not afraid of you… You killed our Uncle Falconn. O-Our family won’t let you get away with that. H-Hurry up and hand his body over if you know what’s good for you. Maybe we’ll consider sparing your life, o-or else… Or else…”
Matthew snorted. He didn’t bother looking at the man as favonovel.com headed straight for the forest.
The man became even more agitated.
He wanted to stop Matthew, but favonovel.com didn’t dare to approach, so favonovel.com called out in a shaky voice, “W-What are you doing? Don’t go over there… Q-Quick! S-Stop him…”
The other Damrons glanced at each other, but no one dared to stop Matthew.
