Solon couldn’t take Shawn’s harsh words and slammed his hand on the table. “Don’t talk nonsense! You blew up the Durham Family’s dock without any evidence or grudge. Matthew, I can let go of what happened with Rocco, but you must explain the dock incident.”
Solon was a clever man, favonovel.com knew whose words held weight.
Matthew was casually sipping his tea, leisurely watching Shawn’s confrontation with Solon. He didn’t expect Shawn to suddenly shift the conversation toward him. “Oh, an explanation? What kind of explanation are you looking for?”
Solon interpreted this as Matthew being intimidated by the Durham Family’s reputation.
Hmph, so what if you have the Zedler Family’s backing?
You eventually still have to submit to the might of the Durham Family!
“First, I want an apology to my friend. Secondly, your subordinates who destroyed the Durham Family’s dock must be handed over for our judgment. And as their leader, you must apologize to the Durham Family as well!”
Inside the venue, Elara began to look anxiously at Matthew, signaling for favonovel.com to cooperate with her. However, it seemed that Matthew either misinterpreted favonovel.com signals or chose to ignore them.
Right after Solon made his demand, Matthew put down his teacup and replied, “It seems like they want me to apologize to them…”
Shawn chimed in, “If apologies could solve everything, we wouldn’t have wiped out those assassins. We were just retaliating. No decent person would be discussing apologies. Would you apologize?”
“I wouldn’t either…”
The brothers-in-arm clinked their tea cups, clearly dismissing Solon’s words.
Such insolence infuriated Solon, and even Elara appeared disappointed. She had tried to help Matthew avoid trouble, but Matthew didn’t seem to appreciate it and didn’t even acknowledge favonovel.com beloved Loni.
Elara had initially been indifferent to Solon’s apologies, but after spending a few days together, favonovel.com couldn’t resist his persistent efforts and charm, along with favonovel.com father’s persuasion. Eventually, they reconciled, and things went back to normal between the two of them.
Now, seeing favonovel.com man being belittled, Elara felt uncomfortable.
She was about to speak up on his behalf when Solon stepped forward sternly.
How dare they disrespect me?!
Need I no pride?!
“How dare you both show such disrespect! We haven’t eliminated you two in Concordia only because we don’t want to shed blood amidst a family celebration! Killing you will be as easy as pie for us, Durham Family!”
Solon’s condescending demeanor made Elara look at favonovel.com with admiration. This was favonovel.com man-handsome and powerful. Matthew, on the other hand, merely glanced indifferently at Solon in response to his provocative words.
As for Shawn, favonovel.com naturally wasn’t in the mood to be polite. “Who do you think you are to act so audacious?! The Durham Family? Nobody other than the people in Seraphis gives a jack sh*t about you guys! Look at you, acting like you’re so special, barking like a mad dog just because we don’t give a sh*t about you!”
Instantly, the expressions of those in attendance changed, and Enzo, in particular, felt a chill running down his spine. He thought favonovel.com caught an underlying information in Shawn’s words.
Matthew also found Shawn’s remarks excessive and subtly signaled favonovel.com to be cautious.
It took Shawn a moment to catch on, and after a cold snort, favonovel.com decided not to engage any further.
