The Crown Prince of Mightwater
While Tiger and his men immediately sprang into action, Matthew got busy as well. He wanted to call
Billy, but the latter’s cell phone had been switched off, and so was Ken’s. Having no alternative, he could
only call Stanley and ask for his help. Right after that, he told the Lewis Family, the Jackson Family, the
Lach Family, and the Telk Family, telling them to get ready to offer help at any time.
After about half an hour, Tiger suddenly called Matthew with a note of panic in his voice. “Bad news,
Matthew! This is really bad…”
Matthew’s expression turned anxious at once. “What happened? Did anything happen to Ed?”
Tiger puffed a little before explaining in a trembling voice, “Matthew, our men have tracked down the
bunch of people who kidnapped Ed, but they’re no longer in Eastcliff. Not only that, but they’ve handed
Ed over to another bunch of people. Do you know who the bunch of people are?”
Matthew frowned. “Who are they?”
Tiger replied in a trembling voice, “T-They’re from Mightwater…”
Matthew was startled. “Mightwater? Why would Ed be handed over to a bunch of people from
Mightwater? I have no enemy in Mightwater!”
Tiger replied, “But these people are indeed from Mightwater. Not only that, but they work for the crown
prince of Mightwater. Matthew, d-do you know about him?”
Matthew asked, “The crown prince of Mightwater? Who is he?”
Tiger heaved a sigh before explaining in a low voice, “The crown prince of Mightwater is the No. 1 Young
Master of Mightwater. His mother, who goes by the nickname ‘Poison Spider,’ is Mightwater’s de facto
ruler. She single-handedly suppresses the Ten Greatest Families of Mightwater, as well as the major
forces there!”
Matthew knitted his brows. “So what? Ed is my buddy; no one can hurt him!”
Tiger argued in a low voice, “Matthew, but w-we can’t afford to offend the crown prince…”
Matthew was puzzled. Having worked for me for such a long time and seen what I’m capable of, Tiger
even had the courage to fight the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff head-on these days. But why would
he be so terrified upon facing the crown prince of Mightwater? “Why?” he asked.
Tiger breathed another sigh. “You know as well that Mightwater is a real metropolis, and the Ten Greatest
Families of Mightwater far surpass the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire in terms of both strength and
financial resources. It’s excruciatingly difficult for any big shot to gain a foothold in Mightwater, but Poison
Spider—a woman—has brought the Ten Greatest Families of Mightwater to their knees, so how
formidable do you think she is? The crown prince is her only son, so no matter what he wants to do,
she’ll give him her full support. I-If we’re gonna get Ed back from the hands of the crown prince, we’re
gonna have to fight Poison Spider head-on. Matthew, this is gonna be difficult unless Master Newman
steps in!”
Matthew knitted his brows; he didn’t expect the crown prince of Mightwater to have such a powerful
background. At this very moment, he finally realized what the person behind the scenes was trying to do.
To put it simply, the person dared not kill Matthew themselves because they were afraid of Billy.
Therefore, they came up with such a scheme, wanting to get rid of Matthew by using the crown prince of
Mightwater.
Besides that, this person was very meticulous in executing their plan. He had deliberately had Demi lure
Ed to the outskirts of the town before abducting Ed and handing him over to the crown prince of
Mightwater’s men outside of Eastcliff. Since those from Mightwater had never entered Eastcliff, they
didn’t break Billy’s rules. Even if Billy wanted to do something then, he would be unable to find a valid
reason to do so. Moreover, Billy wasn’t in Eastcliff at this crucial moment.
Under such circumstances, Matthew could only deal with the matter on his own. At this moment, he only
had two options: one, choose not to mess with the crown prince of Mightwater, but Ed might end up in
trouble because of that; or two, he could choose to go to Mightwater to save Ed, but if he did so, he
would definitely make the crown prince of Mightwater his enemy. He might even die in Mightwater
because of that!
