Upstairs, the higher-ups of the Ten Greatest Families were indeed watching the commotion downstairs.
Their initial plan was to use the young people downstairs to give Matthew a warning, but none of them
had expected that Matthew would make an unconventional move by starting a fight.
Looking at the young people of their families yelling and crying due to the beating, the heads of the
families were so pissed that their bodies started trembling.
"He is such a savage! And brutal too! How could someone like him exist? That's outrageous!"
one of the heads of the families thundered, to which another head of the family muttered, "What do we
do now? Should we send someone down to stop him?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Philip, who was sitting in the innermost part of the room, as he was the
leader among them.He slowly shook his head and uttered, "Send someone down to stop Matthew and
invite him up here"
The crowd was stunned to hear that, and the head of the Fisher Family responded in a fluster, "Master
White, are we going to just let this slide? He's making a scene downstairs and has injured our men!
Shouldn't we beat him up? If we invite him upstairs now, won't he think that we are actually afraid of
him?"
Philip darted a look at him.
"So what? Should we directly rage a complete war with him outside? What about the negotiation if we
drive him away?"
The other nine heads of families exchanged glances and, in the end, they decided to agree with the
plan.
They immediately sent someone downstairs to end the mess.
This person was the head of the Turner Family, which was also one of the Ten Greatest Families.
When the crowd saw the head of the Turner Family, they surrounded him and made complaints about
Matthew, begging for him to stand up for them and take Matthew down.
The head of the Turner Family beamed at them and said, "Everyone, this is all but a
misunderstanding.Mr.Larson didn't sneak into the compound; he is indeed an honorable guest invited
by the Ten Greatest Families together!"
The moment he announced that, everyone at the scene was flabbergasted.
All of them gaped at Matthew, and even Charlie and the other two people, who were standing far away
from the scene, were dumbfounded.
Who could have thought that Matthew was really jointly invited by all Ten Greatest Families? Claire was
unconvinced.
"Mr.Turner, did you mistake him as someone else? This kid is a gangster in Eastcliff, and all of you
invited him?"
The head of Turner Family frowned.
"Claire, do you think that there would be an error when I personally put my signature on the card?"
She was at a loss for words, but she still responded unconvincingly, "Still, he shouldn't have beat us up!
Look at the state we are in now!"
Everyone started voicing out their displeasure.
The head of Turner Family waved his hand with an awkward expression.
"Let's not bring this up for now.We have something more important to discuss with
Mr.Larson.Mr.Larson, let's head upstairs.Matthew, however, shook his head.
"No, thanks.Since the Ten Greatest Families invited me here, they should show me the respect that I
deserved.It's apparent that you guys don't take me seriously when you are the only one who is sent
downstairs and the other nine old men remain upstairs.In that case, let's forget about the discussion!"
With that, Matthew turned on his heel, attempting to leave the scene.
Feeling flustered, the head of Turner Family immediately stopped him.
"Mr.Larson, apologies on that.As a matter of fact, the others are actually waiting for you upstairs.How
about I apologize to you on their behalf now and we can talk about this upstairs?"
Matthew paid him no heed and headed straight out.
When the head of Turner Family saw this, his expression fell.If Matthew were to leave now, all the
preparation made by the Ten Greatest Families that night would go down the drain.
At that moment, a voice came from the staircase.
"Hold on, Mr.Larson!"
The crowd glanced in that direction, only to find Philip and the other heads of the families appearing
from the staircase.
Some of the men were panting, which made it obvious that they had run down the stairs.
Everyone was shocked.
The heads of the Ten Greatest Families all came down to welcome Matthew?!
