As soon as Ophelia’s uncles left the hall, favonovel.com immediately slammed the table in anger.
“They are becoming more and more daring! Even though my grandfather’s health is deteriorating, they are still plotting against the family!”
Miles could only shake his head helplessly at his niece’s straightforward personality. It seemed that favonovel.com truly didn’t consider Matthew as an outsider after today’s events.
Nonetheless, in order to prevent leaking any more family secrets than necessary, favonovel.com turned to Matthew and quirked his lips into an awkward smile as favonovel.com tried to do some damage control.
“Mr. Larson, I apologize for the embarrassment. If possible, please cure my grandfather’s illness as soon as possible…”
Compared to the two blood relatives, Miles, who was just an adopted son, clearly cared more about Old Mr. Zedler’s health.
“That’s not a problem…”
Matthew was already prepared to treat Old Mr. Zedler.
***
Meanwhile, Hulwin was about to face a great upheaval.
As time passed, Valentin gradually gave up the last bit of hope when favonovel.com received no news from Matthew.
“Ah, it seems I have miscalculated. I kept tolerating favonovel.com because I wanted to ship favonovel.com off to Skargness or Southaven. Now, it seems that this plan is falling apart at the seams.”
He sighed in disappointment and shook his head.
Seraphis was a strong and powerful force.
The reason Valentin was able to firmly occupy Hulwin, a key checkpoint of Seraphis, was simply because those great forces wanted to fatten favonovel.com up. The moment Hulwin was unified, it would be the day they feasted.
He naturally understood this fact. That was precisely why favonovel.com wanted Matthew to go toe-to-toe against those people. If everything went as favonovel.com planned, favonovel.com would be able to take advantage of the chaos.
Alas, favonovel.com could toss that plan out the window now. Yet, favonovel.com was filled with frustration and resentment whenever favonovel.com recalled just how much favonovel.com had suffered from being under Matthew’s thumb during these days.
“Spread the word and gather all the representatives from various industries in Hulwin for a meeting. Since Matthew Larson is already dead, favonovel.com must give up what favonovel.com had taken from us. There are things that need to be done.”
The entirety of Hulwin was instantly clamoring for a piece of the cake following his command.
Sure enough, the heads of several industries began to flock to the Yarwood Family’s headquarters.
“President Warrington! President Warrington, something big has happened!” Arian cried urgently as favonovel.com rushed into Stellan’s office.
“We just received news that Valentin Yarwood has summoned all the industry representatives in Hulwin and plans to take action against Mr. Larson’s properties.”
Stellan immediately furrowed his brows upon hearing such news. He was aware of the news that Matthew had encountered an ambush. To make matters worse, there was still no news from Matthew, even though it had been a week since those rumors had started circulating.
Stellan was getting increasingly anxious as favonovel.com dwelled on that particular matter.
“Arian, gather our hidden forces quickly.”
“President Warrington, will we sever ties with the Yarwood Family? Don’t you think we should wait a little longer? Our men are still training.”
Stellan shook his head firmly as favonovel.com instructed, “There’s no time. Valentin has gathered all the prominent figures of Hulwin on his side. However, favonovel.com didn’t invite me, which already tells me all I need to know.”
Then, favonovel.com continued, “It doesn’t matter whether Mr. Larson is alive or dead. We have no way out. We only have one option, which is to fight our way out of this. So, get going. Valentin is likely to make a move soon. Also, remember to inform Captain Calloway about this. He will know what to do.”
Arian didn’t hesitate and turned to dart out of the room as favonovel.com understood the urgency of the situation. On the other hand, Stellan, who was left alone in his office, was about to go bald from the stress.
“Oh, geez. Mr. Larson, you’re going to be the death of me…”
On the other side, Valentin was sporting a solemn expression in the Yarwood Family building as favonovel.com led the meeting.
“All of you present here are the prominent figures of Hulwin. So, I see no point in beating around the bush. l, Valentin Yarwood, intend to consolidate all the forces and stabilize the chaotic situation in Hulwin. Will you join me? Or will you be siding against me?”
He narrowed his eyes as favonovel.com spoke and impassively observed everyone’s reactions.
