Helen was also shocked and whispered, "Matthew, this is Eastshire.These storefronts are the best
ones in the most prosperous areas of Eastshire.One is enough for us, and we can develop slowly in the
future.If you get so many of them at once, the funds from the pharmacy won't be enough at all..."
Sasha walked over.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry about the money.I can just make another investment from the company."
James and Helen became all excited.If that was the case, wouldn't their pharmacy grow bigger? Just
then, Matthew waved his hand.
"There's no need for that.Just these storefronts won't cost much.Mom, Dad, you can just take out the
money for the renovation, and you don't have to worry about the rent and balance transfer fees."James
was surprised.
"What about the rent and balance transfer fee?" Matthew smiled.
"This is Eastshire.Why should the Cunningham Family pay just to have a few storefronts here?"
James and Helen both widened their eyes.Is Matthew really that powerful? Sasha was also a little
worried.
"Matthew, is this all right?" Matthew waved his hand.
"It's fine.Anyway, you don't have to worry about it.Just leave these things to me."
Next, Matthew called Philip and told him all the locations of the storefronts that James liked.
As for what Philip would do with it, Matthew didn't need to worry about it.
Anyhow, he wouldn't spend a penny on these storefronts.
It wasn't that Matthew was stingy, or that he wanted to seize their assets, He just wanted to take this
opportunity to further put pressure on the nine families.
Though the Nine Greatest Families said they would surrender, in fact, they didn't accept him at all.
Matthew had tortured them just to force them to take action.He wanted to find an opportunity to divide
the Nine Greatest Families, then destroy those who were disobedient as a display of prowess to the
others.
Only by doing so would he gain complete control over Eastshire instead of only being the Lord of
Eastshire by name! As Philip answered the call, he agreed to everything, but his fists were clenched
tightly.
Putting down the phone, Philip smashed the cup on the table to the ground and cursed, "How could
this b*stard, Matthew, treat the Ten Greatest Families as his servants? Does he think he can order us
around and take everything away by force and expect us to be too scared to do anything? Even when
Billy was around, he didn't dare to do this to us!"
The people next to him trembled with fright, and no one dared to speak.
Philip swore like a trooper, and in the end, he sat down slowly.
After he took a few deep breaths, his expression gradually calmed down.He handed over the locations
of the shops he had just written down to the man next to him and said solemnly, "Give it to the other
eight family heads and let them make their own arrangements.
Whoever's business it is, they're in charge of vacating it.
If it doesn't belong to the Nine Greatest Families, then find a way to take it!"
The man was slightly surprised and whispered, "Dad, a-are we going to do as Larson says? It's just a
small issue that he’s asking for these storefronts now.But, if he gets greedy in the future and asks for
something more, what will we do?"
Philip glanced at him and snapped, "We have to hold him down first! Now, no one in Eastshire is his
opponent.He still has the crown prince by his side to help him, and the nine families wouldn't gain
anything by fighting with him.Let's just bear with it for now.He wouldn't be able to continue this for long!"
The man couldn't help but feel elated.
"Dad, have you thought of a way to deal with him? What is it?"
