Turing around, Matthew saw Claire with a few people behind her and they all looked on smugly at him.
Not far away, Charlie and the trio were looking sneeringly at him.
All this made him speechless.
Some time ago, he had received the news that the trio had gone to Eastshire, saying something about
making a name for themselves over there and swearing to overshadow him.
He did not think that he would bump into them as soon as he arrived.It seemed like enemies see each
other more often than friends do.
Not in the mood to argue about this, Matthew just walked inside without even replying.
His actions made Claire angry, as she grabbed onto his shirt.
"Hey a*shole, did you hear me speak? What, are you trying to run away after being found out?"
Angered by her, Matthew stared at Claire and said sternly, "A word of advice—if you don't have the
power, then don't just whimsically try to stand up for anyone! You don't even know who you're facing!"
For a moment, Claire was dazed by his words, but she quickly laughed along with the people around
her.
"Am I hearing this right? What did he just say? Did he just say that I'm powerless? Ha!You sure are
arrogant.Do you really think that you can swagger about here just because you have some power in
Eastcliff? Talk about not knowing who I'm facing.Hmph! Do you even know who I am?"
Claire shouted.
At that moment, a youth beside her chimed in, "Hey you, listen carefully now—the person standing in
front of you is the princess of the Sonnet Family, Claire Sonnet! How dare a smallfry like you disrespect
one of the princesses of the Ten Greatest Families? You'd better get on your knees before her!"
With that, the youth swung a kick at Matthew's ankle with the intention of making the man kneel down.
Snorting, Matthew only returned a kick of his own on the youth's knees.
Hearing a crack, the youth then found out the bones of his legs snap, and he fell down screaming in
pain.
The commotion attracted everybody's attention and they all gathered around.
"What's this?"
"I'm not sure either.Why did they suddenly fight?"
"The princess of the Sonnets is here too.Who's the person standing there?"
"Isn't today the gathering of the Ten Greatest Families? Why is there an unfamiliar face here?"
The crowd talked among themselves, trying to guess what had taken place.
This made Claire livid, as being who she was, she had not once suffered while swaggering all around
Eastshire.
"How dare you? It's not enough for you to sneak into the gathering of the Ten Greatest Families with
ulterior motives.Now that you've been found out, you even dare to make a move first? Do you really
think that the families here are all pushovers?"
Claire roared in anger.
Following this, murmurs started to float around the venue and everyone looked at Matthew with hatred
in their eyes.
Staring coldly at Claire, Matthew replied, "I'm going to give you one last chance.You'd better scram!
Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequence of what comes next!"
Laughing out of anger, Claire turned around and said, "Do you hear that, everybody? How dare this
trash from Eastcliff talk to me like this? I won't be able to bear the consequence? Hmph! Now, I'm really
curious as to what kind of consequence that I'm unable to bear! Thinking about it now, I'm actually a
little scared.Someone, call the guards to protect me!"
This made the crowd roar with laughter.
As they were all spoiled rich brats of the Ten Greatest Families, they were not aware of the incident
where Matthew rocked the whole of Eastshire, or the fact that Eastshire was no longer under the
families’ control.
The real heads of the families were still upstairs at this point, so nobody knew about who Matthew
really was.
Observing Matthew with disdain, they all looked at him as if he was a fool.
Then, a group of guards entered the scene.
Recognizing Claire, the head of security immediately smiled upon seeing her.
"Miss Sonnet, I heard that someone made you angry? You just have to tell me where he is, and I'll take
care of him for you!"
