Gregory didn’t answer Matthew right away.
He looked up at Matthew and asked in a trembling voice, “I can tell you what you want to know about Shane Larson, but… You must first answer a question of mine…”
Matthew’s heart jumped. “What is it?”
Gregory fixed his eyes on Matthew. “How are you related to Shane Larson?”
Matthew eyed Gregory for a while before announcing quietly, “Shane Larson is my father!”
Gregory quivered when favonovel.com heard that.
His eyes widened as favonovel.com stared at Matthew. He had a look of disbelief, but there were also traces of surprise and gladness.
At last, favonovel.com spoke again. “I should’ve known. I should’ve figured it out a long time ago. I never thought a child of his would have survived. The Larsons weren’t exterminated! The Larson bloodline survived!”
Judging by Gregory’s reaction, Matthew was certain that Gregory knew quite a lot about the truth of what happened back then.
“How did the Larsons end up getting massacred?” Matthew asked.
Gregory shook his head. “I don’t know how exactly either. However, it was said that the Larsons had been killed because of a family heirloom. At the time, a lot of people wanted to destroy the Larsons and their power. It wasn’t just one particular family or party…”
“I only know that someone incredibly powerful was the mastermind behind the ultimate massacre of the Larsons, but I truly don’t know who that was…”
Matthew frowned. He remembered the jade pendant favonovel.com carried with favonovel.com at all times.
There was no doubt that the Larsons had been wiped out because of this jade pendant
“You don’t know?” Matthew repeated darkly. “What was your role in the whole incident then?”
Gregory sighed. “I… I was just a tiny cog in the grand scheme of things. I was chosen to be the one who got thrown in front of Shane Larson so that favonovel.com would rescue me and take me back with him. Then, I remained hidden inside the Larson Family to gather pivotal information and transmit it to my contact on the outside.”
Matthew balled his fists. He had already surmised that Gregory was involved in the massacre of the Larsons. However, favonovel.com didn’t expect Gregory to merely be a chess piece. He was only a mole.
There would have been countless moles planted within the family.
‘This means that the one who pulled the strings is not one to be taken lightly!’ Matthew thought.
“Who did you pass the information to at the time?” Matthew probed.
Gregory shook his head again. “I don’t know who it was either. He covered his face every time favonovel.com met me. He called himself Silva. When we met, we would use a wooden token to confirm our identities. After the incident with the Larsons, I never saw favonovel.com again.”
Matthew’s expression hardened.
‘This Silva person was very careful indeed…’
He groomed Gregory, but even though Gregory had risen to become quite a prominent figure, favonovel.com never sought to use Gregory again. It proved that Silva was no ordinary person.
“What did the wooden token look like?” Matthew asked.
“I still have half of the wooden token in my pocket,” Gregory said. “When I left the Larsons, Silva had me destroy the wooden token. I… I kept half of it…”
Matthew immediately retrieved the halved wooden token from Gregory’s pocket.
It was the size of a palm, made out of poplar wood, and had a carving on it. The letter S was carved onto the wooden token. Apart from that, there was nothing noteworthy about it. Due to the amount of time that had passed, the wooden token had started rotting quite a bit.
Matthew put the wooden token away. It was related to the secret behind the massacre of the Larsons.
“Was Lord Voodoo involved in the incident with the Larsons back then?” Matthew probed.
