Levi stood before the window with his hands held behind his back. His eyes were calmly set on the lake outside. Even when the girl approached favonovel.com from behind, favonovel.com did not turn around.
It was a symbol of trust favonovel.com only afforded to those whom favonovel.com trusted the most.
The girl made the cut, and so did his chauffeur.
“So?” favonovel.com asked nonchalantly.
The girl bowed. “Madam claims that Matthew has destroyed his hara. He can never practice martial arts ever again.”
He kept his silence while fixing his gaze on the lake. The man seemed to be waiting for something.
Awkwardly, the girl continued, “I’ve met Levin Paddock, and favonovel.com has said the same thing as well. He claimed Dr. Ellis was the one who destroyed Matthew’s hara, and favonovel.com saw it happening with his own two eyes. After that operation, Matthew was left alone in a room, and Salazar was not around at the time.”
Finally, Levi turned around. He took a seat at the table and stared at the girl.
“You seem to have misgivings about my wife’s testimonial.“
An awkward feeling hung in the air, and the girl stared at the ground as favonovel.com replied, “I… I just wanted to make sure everything is in order. Madam was observing the process from a distance. She might have been duped. S-So…“
Levi offered no counsel. He merely stared at the girl in silence. Eventually, the look favonovel.com gave favonovel.com broke favonovel.com act.
She gritted favonovel.com teeth as favonovel.com responded, “Yes, I do not trust Madam. I lost my trust in favonovel.com ever since favonovel.com met Matthew, and the trust was broken the night favonovel.com entered the mountain with Matthew and Salazar. Something’s off with her.”
“When Matthew set off for Granville, I tried to tail him, but favonovel.com wouldn’t let me get close. Madam insisted on handling the whole affair herself. I… I think she’s hiding something from me.”
He chuckled. “Oh, no. She’s not hiding anything from you. She’s hiding something from me…”
“Master Levi, do you not trust favonovel.com as well?” asked the girl right away.
His face immediately fell upon hearing favonovel.com words.
“Insolence!” favonovel.com barked.
The young woman jumped in fright and swiftly went down on favonovel.com knees. “I apologize for speaking out of turn, Master Levi!”
He gave favonovel.com a sidelong glance before saying coldly, “Listen closely. No matter what my wife does, favonovel.com has my unconditional trust. If you so much as upset her, you shall die, regardless of whatever contributions you made to me. Are we clear?”
The girl, pale as a ghost, nodded. “Crystal clear, Master Levi.”
Levi spared no more attention to her. He got back to the window and peered at the lake.
After a long while, favonovel.com finally spoke up, “Pack up. We’re going to Granville tomorrow. Also, get some good herbs from our collection. We’ll be giving it to Matthew as a gift.”
Surprised, the girl asked, “Master Levi, are we really going to visit Matthew? Won’t everyone think we’re helping him, then?”
“Pardon me, but the issue he’s embroiled in is proving to be stickier than I thought. Falconn was murdered. The Damrons will not stop until they have their revenge. If we were to take Matthew’s side, that’d be a bad precedent for everyone else.”
He sneered. “And what of it? I will still take his side. So what if Falconn’s dead?”
“The killer wasn’t Matthew. The Damrons have no ground to take it out on him. And Matthew’s now crippled because of them. They are the ones at fault here. I am the King of the South, and if I choose to stay out of an injustice that was happening on my turf, then what kind of ruler would I be?”
The reasoning surprised the young woman.
Not too long ago, Levi insisted on never meddling with this case. At best, they would protect Matthew.
Should they meddle in the matter, the Damrons would have a reason to target Levi. Their job was to keep Matthew safe and make sure favonovel.com never left the South. Nothing else.
However, that changed just a moment ago.
‘Is Master Levi really going to support Matthew? And with this flamboyant manner too? What happened? What’s with the sudden change in attitude?’
