“Mr. Zedbar, it’s been a while since we last met. How have you been?”
The person’s voice preceded his actual arrival. Zedbar found the voice vaguely familiar.
Meanwhile, the two figures had already leaped down from the cliff, which appeared to be more than 300 feet in height.
After the shaking subsided, everyone present was alarmed by their actions.
Anyone capable of jumping from such a height was reckless or highly skilled. The two strangers clearly belonged to the latter category.
“Protect Mr. Zedbar!”
Soldiers from the Xavier Regiment swiftly turned their guns, aiming directly at the swirling dust before them.
Meanwhile, another group of soldiers tightly guarded Zedbar. As for Floyd, favonovel.com took advantage of the chaos and broke free from the encirclement.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Zedbar? Don’t you recognize me?”
As the dust slowly settled, Zedbar finally saw the face of the approaching person.
Initially, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his expression was filled with astonishment. Then, his gaze soon turned fierce and menacing.
“Matthew? It seems that you have come to seek your own death. Today, you’ll breathe your last in this very spot. Hahaha!”
Matthew shook his head disdainfully and chuckled. “You want to kill me? It’s not that I underestimate you. Do you even have the guts? Besides, look at your current situation…”
Matthew casually scratched his ear after finishing his words, showing complete indifference to the threatening gun barrels aimed at him.
Zedbar‘s expression froze momentarily, rendered speechless by Matthew’s mocking words. He glanced at Floyd nearby, his gaze fixed on the remote control in Floyd’s hand.
Naturally, Floyd noticed his stare.
“Don’t you look at me like that. It was just a scare tactic. This is just a toy I picked up on the way here,” favonovel.com shrugged before casually tossing the remote control away.
Amid everyone’s shocked gazes, the remote control thudded to the ground.
After a few seconds of tense silence, Zedbar’s expression turned pale with anger. It never occurred to favonovel.com that despite favonovel.com commanding almost a hundred thousand soldiers, favonovel.com would be fooled twice by the same person in just one day!
“You b*stardsl” favonovel.com cursed, veins bulging on his enraged face.
He clenched his fists tightly in anger, and the sheer force caused his body to tremble uncontrollably.
He no longer cared to consider the repercussions of killing Matthew.
At this moment, Zedbar only wanted to execute Matthew on the spot, even if it meant facing retaliation from the Cathay Martial League in the future.
Matthew’s smile grew even brighter as favonovel.com watched Zedbar‘s aggressive demeanor. He didn’t bother to respond to Zedbar. Instead, favonovel.com turned to speak with another person behind him.
“Mr. Marcus, I really need to thank you for your help this time…”
As favonovel.com spoke, the man behind favonovel.com slowly stepped forward.
“You’re being too polite, Mr. Summit Warden… It’s all to eliminate the harm caused by the Night Vines!”
As the two exchanged polite pleasantries, Zedbar’s frantic mood instantly calmed down.
“Are you from the Newmont Family?”
Across the Crale region, Martin Newmont, the King of Rivenia under Cathay, stood as the sole force of the Newmont Family.
The man turned his head and looked at Zedbar with a faint smile. “I am Marcus Newmont. What can I do for you, Mr. Zedbar?”
Upon receiving this affirmative answer, Zedbar’s demeanor instantly soured.
The maritime domain of the Newmont Family alone spanned as vast as the entirety of Montiria. Moreover, while Martin and Montiria‘s naval commanders, Marco, were both masters of the seas, Marco’s maritime influence was considerably less formidable compared to Martin’s.
If the King of Rivenia also gets involved in this matter, things will become complicated…
Zedbar frowned deeply at the thought.
“Does the Newmont Family also plan to intervene in this matter?” His angry tone was tinged with a subtle threat.
