Everyone at the scene was flabbergasted at that explanation.
All of them surrounded him and stared at the invitation card; even the leader of the security guards
approached him with wide eyes.
Sure enough, written on the invitation card were ten names—the names of the heads of the Ten
Greatest Families! Everyone was stunned.
This was a situation that none of them had ever encountered.
After a while, a man suddenly broke into laughter.
"Ha! This is hilarious! This is the first time I see such a poor fake! If you want to fake an invitation letter,
please choose a family and put the name on it.Why did you put the names of all the heads of the
families on the card instead? What were you thinking? Were you worried that others won't realize that
it's a fake?"
Upon hearing that, the crowd, who were initially shocked, burst into laughter.
Every year, the families would invite a few people to join the gathering of the Ten Great Families of
Eastshire.
Nonetheless, no matter how high that person's status was, he or she would only receive an invitation
from one of the family, so there would only be one name on the invitation card.
This was a rule that had been enforced for many years.
Matthew's invitation card, however, actually contained all the names of the heads of the Ten Greatest
Families, which made it obvious that it was a fake! The crowd burst into fits of laughter and even the
security guards were laughing non-stop.
In the distance, Charlie and the others cackled so hard that they teared up.
"This kid is an idiot!"
"He's hilarious!"
"Is he here at Eastshire to humiliate himself?"
Just as the crowd were still laughing, Matthew casually piped up, "The reason there are ten names on
the invitation card is because I'll only attend the event when all ten families jointly send me an
invitation!"
As soon as he announced that, the crowd started another round of laughter.
Everyone thought that Matthew was bragging because in their opinion, it was impossible that what he
had said was true.
The leader of the security guards pointed at Matthew and mocked, "Hey, I initially thought that you are
but a thief, but now I realize that I was wrong—you are an idiot! You will only attend the event if the Ten
Great Families of Eastshire send you an invitation jointly? Who do you think you are? Do you think that
you are Billy Newman from Eastcliff"
Claire waved her hand.
"Oh, my! I laughed so hard that my tummy aches.I can't laugh anymore."
"Sir, get him out of here right away.He's only humiliating himself here.Why is there a clown showing up
at the gathering of the Ten Greatest Families?"
The leader waved his hands and smiled.
"Sure.Boys, escort him into the security room.Don't leave him here; he will spoil the mood!"
The rowdy security guards surrounded Matthew, and one of them even grabbed him by his shirt.
Matthew furrowed his brows in response.He could vaguely sense that someone was watching what
was happening from upstairs.It was rather illogical for none of the higher management of the Ten
Greatest Families to not show up when a huge commotion occurred downstairs.
Therefore, it was apparent that the management had intended to give him a warning.
In other words, the decoy had begun ever since he stepped foot into the compound.
At that thought, Matthew stopped wasting his breath.He abruptly caught the security guard's wrist and
with a twist and turn, he dislocated the man’s wrist.
Then, he rushed up to the few people from the Sonnet Family and slapped a young man in the face,
sending him flying into the distance.
The young man passed out instantly, with blood trickling down the corner of his lips.
Subsequently, Matthew gave a few more slaps to the other people of the Sonnet Family and threw
them into the air; only Claire, who managed to back away on time, managed to escape the attack.
The crowd burst into an uproar; the rich kids howled and swore to take Matthew down.
Unfazed by their threats, Matthew dashed into the crowd and beat them up.
To Matthew, the security guards were no different from décor at the scene as they couldn't stop him at
all.
This time, Matthew showed no mercy.
Since the Ten Greatest Families intended to give him a warning, he had to return their ‘kindness’ as
well!
