Let’s Play a Game
Given the crown prince’s swift and sudden movement, Matthew was spared no time to think and
intuitively raised his right arm and blocked the table off. At this time, however, the crown prince was
already right before him, and he struck a punch on his chest. Slightly lowering his body, Matthew
managed to parry the punch, but the attack was closely followed by a shoulder thrust from the crown
prince. It was speedy and aggressive. Nevertheless, Matthew took a step back and dodged his thrust.
Following the momentum of his movements, the crown prince used every part of his body to draw
consecutive attacks upon Matthew, only for each strike of his to be parried. Eventually, the men’s fists
landed on each other, and Matthew’s might forced the crown prince to stagger three steps back.
Instantly, the crown prince’s face reddened as he peered at Matthew, his eyes wide open, his expression
dismal. He thought killing Matthew would be as easy as flipping his hand, only to be humbled by their
martial exchange.
Matthew, on the other hand, was also stunned. He couldn’t help but be astonished by how powerful the
crown prince was given his young age.
The crown prince took a deep breath and suddenly burst out in laughter. “Interesting, fascinating, indeed!
Haha! And here I thought you were just as useless as the next garbage, but look at you, parrying so
many of my attacks. Matthew, is it? You have my respect!”
Matthew was plainly baffled. Out of nowhere, his phone rang. He hastily picked up the call, only to hear
Demi’s agonizing shrieks. “Matthew! Where are you, Matthew? Please come and save my sister! Liam’s
gone crazy! He wants to kill Sasha! He’s gonna rape her before killing her! Hurry up and come over right
—” Before she could finish, a loud thump was heard, and the call ended.
Perturbed, Matthew immediately stated, “I’ve got no time to waste with you, crown prince. Where’s my
wife?”
Having overheard the conversation on the phone, the crown prince thought of something and cackled.
“So you’re here to rescue your wife? Oh, why have I only realized it now! This makes things much more
interesting! Hmm, where could your wife be, I wonder?”
Matthew angrily claimed, “I bear no grudge against you, crown prince, nor do I have the intention to start
one with you! Someone’s obviously trying to pit us against each other. You’re being used!”
The crown prince laughed aloud. “Used or not, it doesn’t matter, as long as we have fun. How about this?
Let’s play a game. If you win, I’ll tell you where she is. How does that sound?”
Matthew’s face turned frigid. “I’ve got no time to waste, crown prince! Tell me right now, or don’t blame
me for what I’m about to do!”
Looking at his anxious face, the crown prince, once again, busted a gut. “What now? Going all tough
man on me, huh? Tsk, tsk, I don’t think you’re up for that yet!” As he was speaking, his two bodyguards
slowly moved up and stood on each side of him.
Seeing the two men, Matthew instantly frowned. Given how intimidating the aura of those two were, they
were clearly formidable individuals. And with Matthew’s current strength, it would be highly difficult for
him to defeat them.
Accordingly, the crown prince slowly stated, “I know what you’re thinking, Matthew. You’re planning to
beat the two of them and proceed to interrogate me. Isn’t that right? Hahaha, I’d advise against it. These
two were once the leaders of families that stood for centuries. Their strengths, in Eastshire, are top five.
Let’s say that you were to go up against the two of them, and let’s not talk about the outcome. Even if
you managed to defeat the two of them, how much time will that take? By the time you’ve won, your wife
is probably as dead as sh*t. So why don’t you just play a game with me so we can determine the winner
quickly? Isn’t that better?”
Matthew contemplated as he gnarled his teeth. “Fine. What shall we play?”
The crown prince was overjoyed. “Simple. We’ll play Poker. Men, send my deck over!”
