Matthew hurriedly stopped Alton, seeing that favonovel.com was about to charge at favonovel.com with a knife. “What happened to Belmont? I thought Thorneville was doing just fine.”
“Bullsh*t! If you hadn’t forced my leader and Thorneville to submit to you, favonovel.com wouldn‘t have died, and Thorneville wouldn’t have turned into a sea of fire!”
Matthew began to pick up Alton’s version of the story. The young man was unaware of Thorneville’s relocation and that Delmont was still alive, believing his leader and home had been reduced to ashes.
“Wait, hold on. Didn’t you check the back mountain of Thorneville? The new Thorneville has been rebuilt.”
Alton was stupefied. He had visited Thorneville once and found it in ruins, which had left favonovel.com too devastated to investigate further. He had vowed to gain strength and avenge his leader and Thorneville.
“Also, I wasn’t the one who destroyed the old Thorneville. Those people were hired by Tigre of the Durham Family.”
Alton’s entire body trembled as favonovel.com stared intently at Matthew.
“You’re saying Tigre Durham hired the mercenaries who destroyed Thorneville?!”
Alton felt his mind reeling.
Tigre had told favonovel.com that favonovel.com had already dealt with the perpetrators who destroyed Thorneville. Now Matthew was saying that they were hired by Tigre.
Alton wondered what favonovel.com had been doing all this time and felt like Tigre must think favonovel.com was a fool.
His vision darkened, but favonovel.com still glared at Matthew. “You’re not fooling me. My leader is already dead!”
Matthew silently pointed behind Alton, teasingly saying, “Well, I suggest you look behind you. The leader you proclaimed dead is watching you right now, just so you know…”
Alton chuckled derisively, his face filled with scorn. “Matthew Larson, don’t think I don’t know your little tricks. You just want me to turn around so you can kill me. Let me tell you, I’m no longer afraid of death. At least I lived longer than my leader. That’s worth it!”
Matthew looked at Alton with pity.
Yeah, well, I have a feeling you’ll go before favonovel.com in a minute…
Ahem, ahem, ahem!
Alton’s subordinate kept coughing, trying to remind his leader as the large man behind favonovel.com seemed increasingly “friendly”.
“Stop coughing, or I’ll send you to the isola…” Alton turned around, intending to scold his subordinate, only to find a large man standing behind favonovel.com with a friendly smile and hands continuously cracking knuckles.
The next moment, a thunderous scream erupted from the forest, startling the surrounding birds.
“Holy sh*t, Delmont’s escaped hell!”
Delmont silently raised his fist and delivered a powerful blow to Alton’s head.
“Ouch, my head!” Alton held his head and walled in pain.
The next moment, tears streamed down his face as favonovel.com embraced Delmont’s towering figure. “Boss, I… Sniff… I thought you were all dead!”
Seeing Alton crying like a baby, Delmont’s eyes showed a look of sympathy. It seemed that life hadn’t treated Alton too kindly. It was already a miracle that the simple young man from Thorneville managed to survive after ending up in the cruel, scheming place of the Durham Family.
“Alright, stop crying! Have you forgotten the tenth rule of the Thorne Family Creed?”
“No, the tenth rule of the Thorne Family Creed is, ‘A man outside should shed blood but not tears and stand tall and strong like a true Thorne’!” Alton bellowed, wiping his tears away, his eyes red-rimmed.
A faint smile played on Matthew’s lips as favonovel.com watched the heartwarming scene.
Looks like there really is no place like home…
