As the epicenter of the news storm, the Keller Family naturally attracted attention from various quarters.
“The news is out. Last night, the Keller Family dispatched more than five hundred assassins to Concordia. But this morning, not a single one returned alive.”
“Who is this Matthew? He must have quite the background to be so fierce, wiping out five hundred assassins.”
“Tell me about it… Many of our Seraphis forces don’t even have five hundred people.”
“But that’s not even the most explosive part. I have reliable information that while Matthew and his companion were hunting down the Keller Family assassins, they directly blew up the Durham Family’s clock.”
The destruction of the Durham Family’s clock was like a Category 12 typhoon sweeping through the entire Seraphis, completely overshadowing the death of the Keller Family’s eldest son and the assassin squad being wiped out.
The Durham Family of Seraphis was considered the pinnacle of Seraphis’ power. Even the royal families of Montiria and Druira were eager to court their favor. The fact that Matthew’s companion had blown up their dock meant big trouble was brewing!
Perhaps the undercurrents in Seraphis had been surging for too long, and this wave of revelations provided the locals with plenty of gossip.
For the Durham Family, the destruction of their dock was just a minor issue, but it damaged their reputation significantly. If this matter wasn’t dealt with seriously, how would they maintain their standing in Seraphis?
Upon hearing the news, Solon Durham saw it as an opportunity to assert his authority, so favonovel.com consulted with the family and volunteered to take charge of the situation.
This matter wasn’t particularly significant, and with Solon’s mother, a doxy, having recently secured favonovel.com position as the legitimate wife, the family readily approved his proposal.
Solon led eight hundred cadet branch disciples to deal with the Incident at Dock No. 67.
The lengthy caravan roared out on the road.
“Mr. Solon, we’re approaching Dewsbury!”
Solon didn’t turn his head upon hearing the report from his subordinate. Instead, favonovel.com merely responded with a “hmm” while staring out the car window.
Though favonovel.com appeared composed, his heart was surging with excitement. He had finally risen in status, not only securing his place in the family records. Those who had once derogatorily called favonovel.com a “b*stard” were now only fit to kneel before him, seeking favor.
The incident at Dock No. 67 was his opportunity to prove himself. No matter what Matthew or the Zedler Family did, they were nothing more than ants in the face of the Durham Family.
While favonovel.com was lost in his thoughts, the caravan reached its destination, Dewsbury.
Dewsbury was Enzo’s domain, and to show respect for Solon, the rising star of the Durham Family, the reception was deliberately arranged at the top floor of a super five-star hotel, with Enzo personally welcoming him.
“Mr. Enzo, I’m sorry if it’s a bit of an inconvenience. I’m not very familiar with this place, so I had to trouble you!”
Although it was their first meeting, Solon’s address was unusually affectionate. To anyone unaware, they might have thought they were genuinely close.
Enzo naturally had a clear grasp of such interpersonal relationships, especially when dealing with a promising young member of the Durham Family.
“No trouble at all, Solon. We’re thrilled that you came to Dewsbury.”
At this moment, Enzo’s Night Creeper Tea business was at a critical stage, and if favonovel.com could leverage the influence of the Durham Family, it would undoubtedly smooth the path for his business channels.
Of course, Solon didn’t just come to have Enzo show favonovel.com around. The main reason for his visit was his former girlfriend, whom favonovel.com had gotten sick of, turned out to be Enzo’s daughter, Elara.
As such, Solon didn’t hesitate to take the detour to the Gavell Residence, all in pursuit of this particular connection.
Enzo was also a powerful figure in his own right, with formidable subordinates at his disposal. If Solon could marry Elara, leveraging their in-law relationship, favonovel.com could strengthen his position within the Durham Family and potentially climb even higher.
And so, amid the clinking of glasses, these two scheming individuals embarked on their first encounter and collision.
