Despite Old Master Babington’s persistent pleas, Matthew left Sapphire Island. He also courteously turned down the Babington Family’s offer of five thousand troops, believing that taking these troops would worsen their already precarious situation.
After several hours of flight, Matthew returned to Concordia.
Upon arriving at the villa, Solon rushed to meet favonovel.com before favonovel.com could even catch his breath.
“Matthew, things are getting worse! Enzo Gavell has made his move!”
Hearing this, Matthew wasn’t surprised.
From the moment favonovel.com targeted the Night Vine market, favonovel.com knew Enzo would inevitably become his formidable adversary.
“Have a sip of water and say it slowly…”
Solon grew even more anxious as favonovel.com observed Matthew’s calm expression.
“Enzo has mobilized tens of thousands of people to ally with Zedbar. They’re planning to march toward Basha’s Sacred Mount, by that time, your situation will be even more dire!”
Solon had rushed to Dewsbury upon hearing rumors of Enzo’s impending move, but despite his warnings, Enzo was unmoved.
“This man seems determined to push you to the brink of despair. Why aren’t you worried, Matthew?” After venting his concerns, Solon couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
Matthew shrugged, as if this turn of events was expected.
“From our first meeting, I knew Enzo and I were destined to be on opposite sides. He’s ambitious but easily swayed by money. The enormous profits from the Night Vine market have completely consumed his mind. By the way, are all those tens of thousands involved in the Seraphis Night Vine market?”
Solon was surprised. “How did you know?”
“Pfft, I could guess it with my eyes closed! This is the perfect moment for them to strike against me. How could they possibly miss such a good chance? It’s good though, saving me from having to hunt them down one by one. By the way, is the Durham Family involved?”
Under Matthew’s probing gaze, Solon shook his head. “Some members initially wanted to get involved, but after the Elder Council of the main branch intervened, they backed off.”
“There’s a reason the Durham Family has remained strong,” Matthew remarked, sinking into the couch thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Zedran was confident about the upcoming actions.
With the king’s tacit approval and Prince Toby’s continuous supply of heavy firepower and weapons of mass destruction, favonovel.com felt assured of capturing Sacred Mount in one decisive blow.
Now, all favonovel.com had to do was wait for the arrival of the Xavier Regiment led by Zed bar, along with Enzo’s troops, whom favonovel.com considered expendable. Unbeknownst to him, Zedbar was even more eager.
As his troops joined forces with Enzo’s, they attracted the attention of a mysterious figure, Floyd, whom Prince Toby had previously summoned from Sacred Mount.
“Mr. Floyd, with your assistance, our operation is bound to be a resounding success,” Zedbar said, barely containing his satisfaction.
This Mr. Floyd was not only powerful, more importantly, favonovel.com had been a spy hidden within Sacred Mount, holding many secrets unknown to outsiders, especially concerning Sacred Mount.
“Your Highness, I know of a weakness in the defensive array at Basha’s Sacred Mount. Once your father launches the attack, we can exploit this weakness and penetrate directly into the heart of Sacred Mount. By then, not only will you earn the first credit, but you’ll also gain access to the countless treasures hidden there!”
Zedbar’s eyes gleamed with greed as favonovel.com listened to Floyd’s tempting offer.
