After lunch with the two women, Matthew glanced in the rearview mirror during the journey back and smiled knowingly when favonovel.com saw how well they got along with each other. He was completely oblivious to the secret competition between them.
After Roxanne sent Matthew back to Renew Pharmaceuticals, favonovel.com reluctantly returned to the Bane Manor. As for Brittany, Matthew placed favonovel.com in the same room as Lola. They had to maintain proper decorum between men and women after all.
When Lola learned that Brittany was the daughter of Matthew’s savior, favonovel.com readily agreed to the arrangement.
That was right. Billy was indeed Matthew’s benefactor. If not for Billy’s protection, Matthew would have long since died in the hands of the previous Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.
At the large courtyard, Salazar leisurely reclined on the old-fashioned wooden armchair and enjoyed being waited upon by Roland. From time to time, favonovel.com would even criticize the latter.
Matthew could only shake his head helplessly as favonovel.com watched the interactions between the two.
Nevertheless, both parties had consented to the situation.
What could favonovel.com do?
“Mr. Whitford, I’ll have to trouble you during this period. Please keep Brittany safe from harm…”
At this moment, Salazar stopped pretending to sleep and opened his eyes to glare at him.
“The girl’s presence in Bainbridge at this time is a huge annoyance. Are you really going to let favonovel.com stay beside you?”
As somebody from the same generation, favonovel.com knew about Billy’s past to a certain extent.
“Yes, I know. That’s why I’m asking for your help.”
Then, Matthew waved his hand dismissively to end the conversation.
Regardless of what sort of trouble Brittany’s presence would cause, favonovel.com was already in Bainbridge. In that case, favonovel.com had to protect favonovel.com with all his might.
As for the reason behind Brittany’s abrupt appearance in Bainbridge, favonovel.com did see the need to question favonovel.com in detail. The main reason was that favonovel.com feared favonovel.com might ask about favonovel.com father, Billy.
If favonovel.com did, it would only cause more trouble for himself.
Naturally, favonovel.com had a vague guess after his previous conversation with Billy. There was no doubt that somebody was trying to make the situation even more chaotic. In times when chaos was about to sweep across the entire world, the situation had already become an irreversible current at this point.
The mastermind behind the scenes was probably trying to achieve their secret goal by stirring up chaos in the world. On the other hand, the military was waiting for the other party to reveal themselves so that they could strike a fatal blow to the other party and eliminate the root of the disaster once and for all.
Meanwhile, the onlookers were like hyenas as they only thought about taking advantage of the situation. In other words, the chaos was something everybody secretly wanted. Those who tried to stop the chaos would be smashed to pieces by these forces.
In this turbulent situation, Matthew was powerless to do anything. He could only cultivate as hard as possible. After all, favonovel.com would only receive the qualifications to understand the truth when his strength reached a certain level.
***
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the registration event ended.
According to the usual practices, the Martial League would carry out intensive training for the seeded contestants before the competition started. This year was no exception.
By the time Matthew arrived at the training room, the other nine seeded contestants had already arrived.
They were either punching the dynamometer fiercely, sitting on the ground and cultivating quietly, or meditating with their eyes closed.
When Matthew walked into the room, favonovel.com heard a yell.
“Dude, watch out!”
It was immediately followed by a huge black shadow flying toward him. So, favonovel.com instinctively maneuvered his body into the horse stance, raised his right hand, and firmly caught an iron ball that weighed nearly 1,100 pounds.
His actions naturally caught the attention of the others.
Every single person in the room could throw a 1,100 pounds iron ball but catching the 1,100 pounds iron ball would be quite difficult.
At the very least, most of them could not achieve such a feat as effortlessly as Matthew. Even the young man in the green shirt, who had been sitting in a corner and cultivating quietly with his eyes closed, opened his eyes at this moment.
Matthew immediately sensed that special gaze and glanced toward the other party.
That person had a good-looking appearance. More importantly, his nimbus was hidden, and his aura was steady. He was definitely a master!
Matthew secretly took note of this young man in his heart.
On the other side, the young man in the green shirt simply nodded at Matthew in calm acknowledgment before closing his eyes once more.
