I Was Blind
Rooted to the spot, Zion didn’t dare to utter a single word because he recognized Tiger.
The old Tiger used to be on par with him, so he wasn’t afraid, but the Tiger now was no longer at the
same level as he used to be.
Previously in the incident with the Lewis Family, Tiger had gone head-on with the Ten Greatest Families
and won a big victory.
After that, Tiger’s reputation in Eastcliff boomed, and so did his power. And now, Zion was completely
one level below with Tiger around.
Seeing that Zion was motionless, Lisa became annoyed unwittingly. “Honey, what are you doing?
Quickly, stop them! Those are our cars! W-What are you doing?”
Annoyance struck Zion suddenly, and he gave her a slap. “Shut up!”
Stunned, Lisa couldn’t figure out why Zion slapped her instead.
Just then, Tiger came in with his men, and Zion hurriedly went to greet him with a smile. “Master Tiger,
what brought you here?”
Without even glancing at him, Tiger walked straight to Matthew and bowed. “Mr. Larson!”
Then, the people behind him followed suit and bowed. “Mr. Larson!”
In the room, everyone was shocked beyond words. Who would have thought that the young man who
was publicly mocked and thought to be an idiot was actually that powerful!
Even the big shot whom Zion had to butter up had to bow down to this young man! What was going on?
Unwittingly, Zion shuddered because he suddenly had a hunch that things were looking bad for himself.
Even the crowd started to murmur amongst themselves.
“Who’s that? He’s so arrogant!”
“Did Master Zion address him as Master Tiger? Master Tiger?! Is he that Master Tiger from South
Street?”
“Of course! Who else in Eastcliff would have the nerves to take this nickname?”
“Goodness, Master Tiger of South Street! H-He’s the greatest gangster boss in Eastcliff right now.”
“Really? Why is Master Tiger so polite to this young man? Just who is he?”
“Could he be an heir to one of the Ten Greatest Families?”
“That’s nonsense. Master Tiger is the cousin of Stanley Carlson. There’s no reason for him to be so
polite to an heir from the Ten Greatest Families.”
Blood drained from everyone’s faces as they were too stunned for words, especially the people who
spoke up for Lisa earlier, who were now regretting and shaking in fear.
Initially, they thought that they could fawn over Zion, but they realized that they were in deep trouble now.
Meanwhile, Zion’s face fell; he could already guess who Matthew was.
The person who could demand so much respect from Tiger must be Matthew Larson, whose name had
just risen recently. Twice, he went head-on with the Ten Greatest Families, and he won both times. Billy
Newman and Timothy Wayne both openly showed their support for him, as did Leanna Sandel, despite
her family’s objections.
Matthew Larson was now totally a legend in Eastcliff!
Maybe the people in the lower class didn’t know, but the more well-informed ones in the higher class
knew about Matthew.
This was true for Zion as well; he already knew that the Telk Family had given in to Matthew and gave
him thirty percent of the shares of Renaissance Mall.
Even the Telk Family had compromised, so how could he not?
After a short moment of silence, Zion limped over and went on his knees with a loud thud. “Mr. Larson, I
was blind and failed to recognize you. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way, and please give
me another chance!”
An uproar broke out from the crowd. While they were still guessing who Matthew was, Zion had already
gone on his knees!
Next to Zion, his wife almost pissed herself. For always, she had been a snob outside and acted
arrogantly using her husband’s reputation. Even the Telk Family had to show them some respect, and
she had never suffered any grievances, so it never struck her that she had hit a tough nail this time.
Casting him a look, Matthew said slowly, “Didn’t you say that you’ll take after my family name if I don’t die
by your hands today? So, are you going to change your name now?”
