Matthew wiped the blood stain off his face and slowly turned to the heads of the Ten Greatest Families.
"Are you all convinced of my strength now?"
The heads of the families exchanged glances with one another and finally, Philip bowed and declared,
"From today onward, Eastshire will be under your lead, Mr.Larson!"
After Philip made that declaration, the others followed suit and bowed to Matthew as well.
Among them, only the head of the Fisher Family wore a discontented expression.He had lowered his
head as well, but his eyes were still filled with resentment.
After all, his son had died in the hands of Matthew.
With a deadpan look, Matthew questioned, "Since Eastshire is now my territory, I believe that there are
certain things that we have to resolve.What do you think, Master Fisher?"
The head of the Fisher Family trembled at that.He knew that Matthew was going to settle scores with
him now.
If Matthew had lost that night, the head of the Fisher Family wouldn't have to fear the former at all.
Yet, now that Matthew had won and he had now overpowered the Ten Greatest Families, would the
families help him under such a circumstance? He looked pleadingly at Philip but the latter turned to one
side, refusing to meet his eyes.He then looked at the other heads of families, who were unfazed by his
pleading gaze as well.
Everyone at the scene was no fool.
They all knew that going against Matthew at that point would be akin to seeking death.
Matthew had proven his ability by killing all thirteen gold-rated assassins, so they would have no
chance if they were to fight him head on—not with their current strength, at least.
Since the situation had come to this point, no one at the scene was willing to do something that would
offend Matthew.
Seeing that nobody was willing to give him a hand, the head of the Fisher Family suddenly broke into a
smile.
"As the saying goes, if a man once falls, all will tread upon him.Hmph! Since he is able to take down
the Fisher Family, he won't hesitate to do that to the other families as well.I will just sit back and watch
how long you guys can laugh!"
After he said that, he abruptly stood up straight and looked into Matthew's eyes.
"Matthew, the winner is always in the right and the loser is always in the wrong.I admit defeat this
time.It was my fault for failing to bring my son up well and I'm willing to receive punishment for that.I will
accept it no matter what you are going to do to me, but this incident has nothing to do with the other
people of the Fisher Family.I hope that you won't seek trouble with them! Otherwise, I will never
compromise even if it means putting up a fight that will lead to death!"
Matthew scoffed in response.
"Master Fisher, are you still acting tough at this point? I've said that the Fisher Family has to be
removed from Eastshire because of the abominable deed that your son had committed, and now's the
time to fulfill the promise"
With that, he waved his hand and gave an order.
"Master White, I'm afraid that we have some scores to settle too—in regards to the incident where the
Ten Greatest Families helped the Fisher Family"
Philip frowned at that.His initial plan had been to stay away from the mess and let Matthew go head-on
with the Fisher Family.
However, when Matthew brought up the fact that the Ten Greatest Families had helped the Fisher
Family, he suddenly felt flustered.
As a matter of fact, the Ten Greatest Families had been the Fisher Family's accomplices in that
incident.
If Matthew was enraged by that and decided to pursue the matter, it would bring trouble to the Ten
Greatest Families.
After some consideration, Philip nodded.
"Please rest assured, Mr.Larson.I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"
The head of the Fisher Family was anxious.
"Philip, what do you mean by that?"
However, Philip slapped the man’s face in response.
"What do I mean? What do you think? The Fisher Family has done so many abominable deeds.Your
family is a disgrace to the Ten Greatest Families! Today, I will weed the problem within us to save the
reputation of the Ten Greatest Families! What do you all think?"
The remaining heads of the eight families applauded and agreed to the suggestion.
They were all willing to tread on the person who had fallen.
