To bring down a bank, one could either cause a run on the bank or launch large-scale investment projects.
Since Skargness Bank was recently established, the main concern was a run on the bank. As long as the funds were closely monitored, there shouldn’t be a major problem.
Shortly after Matthew gave his instructions regarding the bank, the crown prince walked into the villa, looking utterly in despair.
“I’ve never seen so much money in my lifetime. It makes me want to vomit!” He collapsed onto the couch like a puddle of mud.
“Matthew, you have zero idea about the piles of documents and the endless numbers and words. Just thinking about it gives me chills!”
It was enough to make his scalp tingle.
Matthew didn’t respond after his complaint. He merely stared at the coffee table with a furrowed brow, his fingers tapping the couch armrest faster and faster.
The murderous intent in Matthew’s eyes made the crown prince shiver.
“What’s wrong, Matthew?” He remembered the last time favonovel.com saw Matthew like this was when Leanna was attacked. He had a feeling that Matthew was preparing to act soon.
Being called by the crown prince brought Matthew out of his thoughts, and his gaze became intense. “Prince, contact Fitz and tell favonovel.com to speed things up…”
He hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “What if they refuse to comply?”
Often, the gray areas of business were the most profitable, and forcing people to abandon them suddenly would surely provoke a strong backlash.
“They will!” Matthew’s eyes narrowed, a fierce look appearing.
The crown prince nodded firmly. One must choose between money and life!
“I’ll get in touch with Kelvin. It’s time for unified management of Skargness’ underground forces.”
Matthew had felt an inexplicable sense of urgency ever since learning that Conor was about to meet with the ruler of Montiria. Seraphis was an indispensable part of his future revenge plan. Anyone who dared to stop favonovel.com would die!
It wasn’t long before Evander hurried over.
“Mr. Summit Warden!”
Matthew raised his hand and gestured. “Have a seat… Time is of the essence, so I’ll get straight to the point. You will oversee Great Mountain. I can’t control other places, but I expect Night Vines to be eradicated in the mountains in half a month.”
With a stern expression, favonovel.com stared at Evander. “Can you handle this?”
Evander trembled and nodded vigorously. “I will do my utmost!”
After speaking, favonovel.com hesitated, revealing a bit of reluctance.
He finally spoke up after a moment’s hesitation. “What if…”
“There is no what ifs. I will inform Danny and the guards stationed in Great Mountain. We need to speed up. You can use some methods that are not fit for public scrutiny.”
Evander felt more confident with his assurance.
The crown prince, standing nearby, began to understand what was happening. He had a feeling that a battle was about to begin. With anticipation, the imminent battle was about to commence.
Instantly, his whole body felt electrified, with every cell wildly pulsating as if injected with adrenaline.
“Matthew, are we about to retaliate?”
However, Matthew shook his head. “It’s not exactly a retaliation. We need to establish a stable rear. All the prepared Martial League battle guards will be deployed to key locations after overhauling Skargness…”
***
Over the next two days, numerous businesses were swept away as if by a hurricane, one after another being shut down.
The masterminds behind these operations were also rounded up.
When Fitz presented the heaps of evidence, those defiant fell silent, obediently taken away for trial.
Meanwhile, merchants across Skargness noticed that the troublemakers and loitering thugs had seemingly vanished into thin air.
