Matthew had been in Seraphis for quite some time, starting from eliminating Hulwin to investigating Concordia and finally collaborating with Prince Gadel to annihilate the Keller Family. His main goal was to rectify Skargness, and the existence of the Keller Family was the biggest obstacle on this path.
With this gathering, Matthew established his network and facilitated the revival of the Skargness Martial League in the future.
If favonovel.com could meet the guests’ interests and establish cooperative relationships, the resistance to restarting the Martial League would be significantly reduced.
“Matthew, you’re back!”
On the crown prince’s side, preparations for maintaining security in Concordia were underway.
Given the substantial influx of people, including many affluent individuals, it was necessary to prepare for potential threats. Consequently, the crown prince mobilized many armed personnel from the Stubber and Perryvall Families, forming a security maintenance team of over a thousand members.
“You’ve worked hard during this period. Is the transport ship ready?”
“In the early morning, I had The Crown Prince’s ship stop at the island thirty kilometers from the isle. The entire Concordia is within the precise strike range. And with Fitz watching over there, no one can discover our transport ship.”
“Good… We need to prevent the Keller Family from becoming desperate. Mr. Stubber, you’ll be in charge of security, and please make arrangements for the sniper team.”
After instructing the security arrangements, Matthew focused on the continuous stream of guests heading toward the Stubber Family.
The once chaotic streets of the Stubber and Perryvall Families had become neat and orderly after a makeover.
“Although Concordia is remote, it has a decent environment. It’s something to be proud of. if it weren’t for dealing with the Keller Family, I wouldn’t bother coming to such a remote place,” Matthew said.
“That’s true… Oh the way here, I learned that the land is quite cheap. It’s a good place for real estate development,” Horace replied.
“President Abbott, how about we collaborate after dealing with the Keller Family,” Matthew suggested.
As they chatted along the way, groups of guests arrived at the Stubber Family one after another.
***
At noon, the first meeting officially began.
The bustling conference hall gradually quieted down as Matthew appeared.
“I am Matthew Larson… Thank you all for coming to participate in my initiated Overseas Marine Project.”
However, a discordant voice emerged among the guests before favonovel.com could finish speaking. “Hmph, I thought it was some remarkable figure. Turns out, it’s just a little brat!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately turned their attention to the scene.
Although Matthew was interrupted and mocked, favonovel.com did not get angry. He had already anticipated the current situation. If no one caused a disturbance during the event, that would be genuinely unexpected for him.
“I wonder, sir, what is your name?”
“Hmph, Benjamin Whitford. I am here representing the Whitford Family.”
He leaned back, lifted his chin, and stared at Matthew through his nostrils, exuding an air of jealous arrogance.
It was no surprise to Matthew that although many forces held grudges against the Keller Family, there were also quite a few closely affiliated with them.
It could be said that the Whitford Family’s recent significant development was all thanks to the support of the Keller Family. The Whitford Family became a powerful force through continuous arms trading with Druira in recent years and had evolved into a formidable power with a well-equipped militia.
Matthew looked calmly at Benjamin and smiled faintly. “I wonder what you meant by those words as the representative of the Whitford Family?”
“Nothing much. I just find you displeasing. In terms of experience, all of us here are your elders. When does a little brat like you have the right to dictate terms?”
As the words landed, others showed interest. Although Benjamin was causing trouble, favonovel.com had a point.
Matthew relied on Prince Gadel and the Graham Family for support, using their power as a shield. Since favonovel.com was able to lead the initiative, what was stopping them from being the leader?
