Prince cast him a look of disdain.
"Master Levi? Ha! Coincidentally, I just had lunch with him in the afternoon. He said that the Fisher
Family from Eastshire has gone too far this time, so the customs in Eastshire are something that needs
to be changed"
The expressions of heads of the Ten Great Families instantly sank.
In other words, Master Levi had meant to tell them that he sided with the Prince and Matthew!
Everyone turned to Philip at that.
Philip was livid with anger.He never thought that things would escalate to this point.
"Although Master Levi is the King of the South, this is still a matter of the Eastshire, after all.It's a little
inappropriate for Master Levi to step into our family issue!" he growled through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry.Master Levi had no time to meddle in this annoying matter.However, Matthew's my buddy,
so his problem is mine as well.There shouldn't be a problem for me to help him, right?"
Philip's expression eased a little.He then coldly glared at Matthew.
"Ha! I never expected that you actually found the Poison Spider of Mightwater to be your supporter
after Billy had left.Nevertheless, you will need to depend on your own strength to take over everything
that Billy has left behind.The people of Eastshire won't submit to you if you lack the capability and all
you know is to borrow someone else's influence!"
Just as a frustrated Prince was about to chime in, Matthew reached out his hand to stop him.
"You guys want to witness my strength? Sure thing! The lot of you hired thirteen gold-rated assassins,
right? Just get them to come at me all at once! If I die here today, everything in Eastcliff will belong to
you all!"
The heads of the families were delighted to hear that.
Matthew darted a look at them and coldly continued, "But if I win—"
Philip interrupted, "If you win, you will be the leader of Eastshire from tonight onward!"
Matthew slowly nodded.
"That settles it, then! Philip, you've got some guts there.We will decide this based on our strength!"
"Matthew, your courage in facing the thirteen gold-rated assassins head on has won my respect! What
a shame, though, as valor doesn't mean strength.
It will be near impossible to fight thirteen gold- rated assassins on your own; Philip remarked.
Prince leaned in at Matthew and whispered in a fluster, "Matthew, don't act on an impulse! I've brought
so many people to help you, so dealing with thirteen gold-rated assassins is a piece of cake; you can
even kill these old men if you wish! However, fighting the assassins on your own will be tough.
I've told you before that out of the thirteen assassins, three of them have strengths that are on par with
Hunter's!"
Matthew shook his head with a smile.
To be honest, it wasn't difficult at all to him if all he wanted to do was to kill the heads of the ten
families, but the problem was that taking their lives not only wouldn't subdue the families, but would
invite hatred and vengeance.
If he were to do that, he would have to waste a longer time to take over Eastshire.
Thus, the best way would be to defeat them by force and subdue them.
He had to knock some sense into them so that they were aware that he had the capability to protect
Billy's assets and even conquer Eastshire! As such, defeating the thirteen gold-rated assassins would
be Matthew's best chance to achieve his goal.
"Master White, please get the thirteen gold-rated assassins here!" he instructed.
Philip immediately had his men ask the thirteen assassins to come out.
Thereafter, the heads of families left the room.
The room would soon turn into a battle ground and they wouldn't wish to be involved in the fight.
Looking at the closed door while standing outside the room, Prince seemed anxious.
Matthew was strong indeed, but it would still be tough for him to face Hunter.
Now that he would be facing so many opponents at once, in which three of them were as powerful as
Hunter, how would he be able to fight them off?
