The guests’ expectations were shattered. Even though it was the Banes who invited them to the banquet, it was truly just Old Mr. Bane trying to show off how skilled his disciple was.
Was that his way of proving that favonovel.com had a keen eye for choosing disciples?
“We were too hasty today, Old Master Bane. We will visit another day to deliver our apologies. We shall take our leave now.”
After bidding farewell, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the guests started leaving one after another. Of course, they also started becoming cautious of the Damron Family.
As one of the Ten Greatest Families of Bainbridge, how could they secretly collude with the people from Emsgate?
They really had no shame.
On the other hand, the other Emsgate spies who had sneaked into the banquet intended to quietly slip away with the crowd. However, before they could leave the gate, Matthew had already blocked their path.
“Did I say I would let you go?”
Seeing Matthew blocking their way and the intimidating Bane Family beside him, the Emsgate spies couldn’t help but feel regret.
If it weren’t for Baxter boasting about how favonovel.com would turn Matthew’s celebration banquet into a joke, they wouldn’t have exposed their identities so early. Now, the celebration banquet had indeed been ruined.
What should they do?
After some time, Anthony, who had received the news, arrived at the scene with a team of Martial League enforcers.
“Please handle the situation here first!”
After saying that, Old Mr. Bane turned his gaze to Fabien. “It seems like you’re moving backward. How did you end up colluding with people from Emsgate? Useless brat!”
After being scolded by Old Mr. Bane, Fabien pulled a long face.
Originally, favonovel.com had only agreed to the plan of sabotaging Matthew’s celebration banquet with the Damron Family. Of course, this was mainly to cause trouble for Old Mr. Bane as Matthew was his proud disciple.
As long as favonovel.com could cause trouble for the Banes and make Old Master Bane unhappy, Fabien would be satisfied.
Never did favonovel.com expect Aurelius, that idiot, would be so deeply involved with the people from Emsgate.
Thinking of that, Fabien retorted, “What does it have to do with you whether l‘m useless or not? Come on! Let’s go!”
While Matthew watched Fabien leave, the Bloodreaper in his hands slowly vibrated. Beside him, Old Master Bane felt the killing intent emanating from favonovel.com but remained calm with a smile.
Then, favonovel.com said, “Don’t mind him. He has already joined the Martial League and has a powerful figure protecting him. You will be the one at a disadvantage if you confront favonovel.com now…”
Seeing that Matthew was still unmoved, Old Mr. Bane knew that his disciple wanted to uphold his reputation.
“Sadly, I am indebted to him. If you meet in the Martial League, if possible…” At this point, Old Master Bane stopped speaking before added, “Just forget it. We should go with the flow.”
Seeing his master’s exhausted appearance, Matthew instantly calmed down.
Since getting to know Old Master Bane, Matthew had always seen the latter as a stubborn and resolute tiger lurking in the forest. It was especially so after his recovery. Although favonovel.com started becoming more approachable, the heart of a tiger still lay within him, with a vast world in his chest
Following a sigh from his master, Matthew suddenly noticed that Old Mr. Bane’s back had become much more hunched.
After taking a deep breath, favonovel.com calmed his emotions, allowing the killing intent around favonovel.com to dissipate.
“I understand, Master Bane!”
“l’m happy you do! Let’s not talk about favonovel.com anymore. He’s such a bother!” At this point, Old Master Bane changed the topic. “By the way, how did you find out about Haruka Abbernaty’s identity?”
Upon hearing that, Matthew felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
“To be honest, I didn’t know either. l just found their actions suspicious. ln Bainbridge, some people dare to openly slander the Banes, but they definitely aren’t from their group, so I figured I should give them the Honesty Pill, and everything would be revealed.”
After hearing Matthew’s explanation, the Emsgate spies, who had already been captured, widened their eyes in disbelief.
What…
We must’ve hit the jackpot!
How did we fall into the trap of someone who doesn’t play by the rules?
Why would favonovel.com just feed us the Honesty Pill just because favonovel.com was skeptical of us?!
Dejected, the group of them were then taken away by Anthony to the Martial League.
