War Is Cruel
After walking out of Billy’s house, Matthew finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now… I need to start focusing
on dealing with the Orleanians.
However, the Orleanians were known to be unpredictable and act without moral baselines. Thus,
Matthew was even more worried that they would aim for Sasha and Natalie. Right now, his hands were
tied to the point that he could not protect them personally. He was left with no choice but to seek help
from Billy.
With both Sasha and Natalie under Billy’s protection, Matthew would have nothing to be worried about!
Then, he immediately drove to Wilson’s hotel and arrived at the top floor. At that time, Wilson and Felix
were already there.
Wilson recounted the incident that happened after Matthew had left last night.
As soon as Wilson was done with his ‘storytelling’, Matthew merely sneered. “That Robert… He really is
a scoundrel, isn’t he? But… now is not the time to deal with him yet!”
Upon hearing that, Felix nodded. Then, he went silent for a moment before whispering, “Mr. Larson, my
uncle’s injury last night… It isn’t life-threatening, is it?”
Clearing Felix’s doubt, Matthew answered, “No, it’s not. His injury isn’t deadly to the point it could kill him.
Nonetheless, he must die! Otherwise, your position as the head of the family will be tottery.”
Shocked by Matthew’s words, Felix took a deep breath. His words… Did he just… Did Matthew just
admit that he’d killed my uncle?
As a matter of fact, Matthew was no doubt the killer.
At that time, Old Master Lewis only sustained minor injuries. However, Matthew secretly poisoned him.
At first, Old Master Lewis could not feel anything, but after a few hours, the poison spread throughout his
body and took his life right there and then. What made it more crucial was that not even modern medical
studies could detect the slightest trace of the poison.
Matthew glanced at Felix and said coldly, “The achievement of a general costs thousands of lives. Mercy
and kindness had no place in a war, Felix! Be kind, and you will find yourself buried in a grave!”
Felix looked at Matthew, seeming to be taken aback by his words.
I really don’t understand. How could a fine young man like Matthew emit such a murderous aura?
Well, what Felix did not know was that Matthew had survived a plunging sea of bloodbaths.
Back then, the Larson Family was one big family. It far exceeded the current so-called Ten Great
Families of Eastcliff. However, thousands of them died in a cold-blooded massacre.
Matthew was only twelve years old when the massacre took place. Having witnessed a bloody massacre
at such a young age, a mere dead person did not mean anything to him.
At that time, those people wanted to exterminate the lineage and killed thousands of Larson Family
members. Now, it’s time for Matthew to seek revenge. If I still show them mercy, then what’s the point of
my revenge?
Meanwhile, Wilson nodded calmly. “I think Mr. Larson is right! Isn’t it normal for the members of a big
family to secretly scheme against one another? Besides, look at the princes back in ancient times; they
would fight and kill not just between noblemen and princes, but even the emperor was not spared from
such fights just so that they could be the wearer of the crown! Felix, even if you’re now the head of the
Lewis Family, I still think anyone from your family can threaten your current position!”
Of course, Felix knew that Wilson was hinting at him to kill Aaron.
Feeling upset, Felix sighed. “I understand the importance of eliminating potential threats… But, they are
still my relatives after all. How about I exile them from Eastcliff and prohibit them from stepping into here
in the future?”
Disagreeing with Felix, Wilson frowned. Then, he turned to look at Matthew, who was beside him.
In a soft tone, Matthew said, “As you wish, Felix. However, all of these are your own decisions. I hope
you will not regret them in the future!”
Understanding what Matthew meant, Felix nodded slowly. “I won’t regret it!”
Matthew was noncommittal. Since this is his decision, Felix alone will bear the consequences.
“By the way, Mr. Larson… I’ve brought Franklin’s mobile phone as requested by you. But, I’ve found
nothing on it so far.” As Felix said that, he handed a mobile phone to Matthew.
Matthew turned on the phone and looked through it. Just as Felix described, there really was not much
contained in that phone.
Call records, messages, and even WhatsApp messages… They were all deleted by Franklin.
Seeing that Franklin was the one who wanted to murder Donovan in the first place, he would definitely
not leave any clues on his phone.
Somehow, Matthew was nonchalant. He opened the map in Franklin’s phone and glanced at it. At once,
he could not help but smile. “Found it!”
