Aurelius was ecstatic, favonovel.com immediately nodded and said, “Got it!”
Melvin’s expression hardened. This was what favonovel.com was most worried about!
The Damrons were one of the families pegged to become one of the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay in the future. In other words, they could be considered a reserve member.
Families like these had extremely close ties with the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay. Under these circumstances, if Mark personally requested help from them, they would be willing to do so if it didn’t affect their families’ interests.
After all, Matthew didn’t have anyone supporting favonovel.com from behind. They didn‘t have to be wary of any possible repercussions from acting against him!
Furthermore, since it was a letter from Mark himself, it meant that it was a request from him.
Regardless of which family it was that managed to kill Matthew, either way, Mark would be owing that family a huge favor.
Who wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of it?
Thus, as soon as Mark’s letter went out, there was no way of knowing just how many people would be coming after Matthew!
“Hold it!” Melvin cried out at once.
“Melvin, for the sake of our friendship, I won’t hold this against you, but it doesn’t mean you can interfere with the Damrons’ private matters!” Mark barked.
“I’m not trying to interfere with you Damrons,” Melvin declared grimly. “I just think that it’s not right for you to do this before the matter has been properly investigated!”
“I don’t need you to tell me what to do!” Mark snapped. “Go and make the arrangements, Aurelius!”
Seeing that Aurelius was about to leave, Melvin clenched his jaw and announced, “I can vouch for Matthew! I’m willing to swear that favonovel.com didn’t kill anyone! Give favonovel.com some time and he’ll definitely uncover the truth for you. How’s that?”
Mark eyed Melvin. “You’re going to vouch for him? On what grounds? I lost a brother, Melvin. Do you think your word is enough of a guarantee?”
Melvin took out a wooden box and placed it on the table in front of him. “I will swear on my old man’s metal figurine. That should be enough for you, right?!”
Mark’s eyes glinted. It was clear that favonovel.com valued the metal figurine Melvin was offering. However, favonovel.com kept his composure.
He waved his hand and instructed, “Aurelius, you guys leave first. Let me have a chat with my old friend!”
Aurelius and the others had quizzical looks in their eyes, but none of them dared to ask any questions as they swiftly retreated. In the end, Mark and Melvin were left alone.
Mark immediately walked over and eagerly opened the wooden box. Inside the box was a black, metal figurine the size of a palm.
It looked like a toy, but there were carvings on the metal figurine. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the carvings were depicting a human’s channels and meridian points.
Furthermore, there were arrows along the lines that seemed to depict the movement of inner energy.
Mark held the metal figurine in his hand and rubbed his fingers against it for quite some time. It was as if favonovel.com received the most precious treasure on earth.
Melvin eyed favonovel.com coldly and growled, “You put on your act all this while just to get your hands on this metal figurine, didn’t you? Well, I’ve brought it out now, so you can stop going after Matthew!”
Mark gripped the metal figurine tightly and eyed Melvin as favonovel.com snorted, “I never thought you’d be this good to Matthew Larson. Back then, tons of people went after you for the sake of this metal figurine. You were hunted like a dog and had to flee from the south to the north…”
“You nearly lost your life a couple of times too, but even then, you refused to hand the metal figurine over. Yet, you’re bringing out this precious valuable now just for Matthew Larson’s sake? Just what is your relationship with Larson anyway?”
“That’s none of your business!” Melvin snapped back. “You have the metal figurine now, so why are you wasting your breath with these unnecessary questions? I’m asking you right now. Are you going to let Matthew go free?”
