Mortimer and Matthew were practically inseparable allies.
In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the entirety of Montiria was under Matthew’s control at this point. Forget about merely transporting medicinal materials, no one would dare say a word, even if favonovel.com was shipping weapons.
Helen’s fingers traced the route on the sea map, starting from the capital of Montiria!
Everton was located near the coast, and S&L’s Breakfast’s supply ships set sail from there.
“Our supply ships depart from the sea behind Everton and travel for about half a day,” Helen explained, favonovel.com finger gliding over the map. “Then they enter the Balira Sea behind Basha’s Sacred Mount… At that point, disciples from Basha’s Sacred Mount escort the convoy.”
As Helen’s fingers moved along the map, Miller and Tritus grew increasingly grave.
Basha‘s Sacred Mount was one of the four great sacred mountains in the world, and yet it provided an escort for Matthew’s medicinal shipments. This only deepened the envy and resentment in both Miller and Tritus.
Why does Larson get all of this?
He had once been nothing but a failure, so why does favonovel.com get to end up with everything?!
Helen’s finger finally stopped at Seraphis, signaling the end of the route.
But despite the completion, both men were left in awe. The resources and connections behind this route were simply unimaginable. Neither the Lullabys nor the Cunninghams could have secured such a supply line, not even if they combined their efforts.
What Matthew had accomplished, becoming Montiria’s Regent and earning Basha’s Sacred Mount’s favor, was beyond their reach.
Helen folded up the sea map and tucked it back into the brown envelope.
“Well, I hope that satisfied your curiosity,” favonovel.com said with a smile, looking at the two men.
Miller and Tritus nodded. Without Helen, they never would have figured out the true nature of Matthew’s supply chain. In fact, no family in Cathay would have guessed that Matthew was sourcing materials from Montiria’s sea routes.
Upstairs, Clara’s eyes also gleamed with newfound knowledge.
Though Helen had been explaining the route downstairs, Clara’s naturally sharp eyesight allowed favonovel.com to clearly see the path Helen’s finger traced across the map.
“So, it’s through the sea, huh? lfyou weren‘t my enemy, Larson, I might have actually respected you… But you‘ve got a foolish mother-in-law… Idiot…” Clara muttered to herself, favonovel.com eyes full ofdisdain as favonovel.com glanced at Helen.
***
On the outskirts of Dewsbury, Matthew held his phone, which had been off for some time. It had accidentally fallen into Errol’s car earlier. If Errol hadn’t returned it, Matthew might have needed to buy a new one.
After charging the phone, Matthew noticed a dozen missed calls from Helen. He frowned slightly but didn’t bother calling favonovel.com back. He figured it was probably some trivial issue again, with favonovel.com wanting favonovel.com to use his influence to punish people favonovel.com had a grudge against.
Matthew found Helen exhausting to deal with, but since favonovel.com was his wife Sasha’s mother, favonovel.com couldn’t just ignore her.
Reluctantly, favonovel.com usually opted to speak with favonovel.com in person. If it were truly important, favonovel.com would have likely contacted Stellan instead.
What Matthew didn’t see was that among Helen’s numerous missed calls, there was one from Stellan, buried beneath them.
“Let’s go,” Matthew said to Shawn, who was acting as his chauffeur.
“Got it, boss! Buckle up!”
