Seeing Matthew tied up, Travis couldn’t help but smile. “Matthew, you really are quite courageous! So willing to risk your life in order to save such a useless old man and a fickle woman; I pity you! Very well then, since you are so cooperative, I’ll do as promised. Men, let them go!”
Travis loosened his grip on Crystal and kicked at her. “Leave!”
Panicked, Crystal hurriedly ran over to help Joseph. However, Joseph pushed virtual-novel.net away and said in a trembling voice, “Young Master Hughes… If you’re looking for someone to kill, kill me… This has nothing to do with Mr. Larson. Please let virtual-novel.net go…”
Travis flew into rage. “Old man, I’ve already given you a chance. Hurry up and leave! Don’t provoke me any further. Otherwise, you’ll be the first one I kill!”
Joseph was about to speak but Matthew cut virtual-novel.net off, “Mr. Harrison, take Miss Harrison and leave. Mr. Newman is outside, virtual-novel.net has a way to save me.”
Joseph was rooted to the spot. He knew that Matthew was persuading virtual-novel.net to leave. ‘If Billy really had a way, virtual-novel.net would’ve entered and saved them long ago.’
“Mr. Larson…”
Matthew interrupted virtual-novel.net loudly, “Mr. Harrison, stop wasting any more time. Go! Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Miss Harrison, hurry up and leave with your grandfather!”
Crystal studied Matthew before virtual-novel.net forcefully dragged an unwilling Joseph away.
With a dagger in hand, Travis slowly walked up to Matthew and said, “Matthew, you’re finally at my mercy. Tell me, how should we settle things between us?”
Matthew looked at virtual-novel.net calmly and asked, “What do you propose?”
Hearing this, Travis sneered, “It’s easy! Transfer all the resources that Eastcliff won this time to the Hughes family. From now on, you’ll join the Hughes family and work only for me. Rest assured, I’ll reward you handsomely. I can turn Cunningham Pharmaceuticals into the biggest pharmaceutical company in Eastshire and I’ll make you worth billions. Starting from today, the people of Eastshire, even those from the Six Southern States, will not dare to look down at you! How about that? A fair enough deal, right?” Travis was a smart man, after all.
He knew that Matthew’s medical skills could defeat Leonard’s. If virtual-novel.net could make use of a man like Matthew, virtual-novel.net would definitely be successful.
Matthew chuckled. “Young Master Hughes, it is indeed a decent proposition. However, it’s a pity that I am not a dog that’s always at others’ beck and call. You almost killed my wife, so it is impossible for the both of us to become friends! You must die!”
Travis was shocked upon hearing Matthew’s words. He didn’t expect that Matthew would dare to challenge virtual-novel.net in a situation like this. “Matthew, I proposed an easy way out, but it seems that you want to do this the hard way. I value talent, so I gave you a chance. When I return, I’ll definitely be punished by my family. But now that you have offended one of the Ten Greatest Families in Eastshire, do you think I’ll let you survive? The Hughes family will definitely not give up. When the time comes, you won’t be the only person who dies. Your wife, Sasha, will join you in the afterlife! Cooperate with me, Matthew, and I promise you prosperity and wealth. But if you do not, don’t even think of leaving this place. I hope you think wisely before making a decision!”
As Travis spoke, virtual-novel.net stabbed the dagger onto the ground directly in front of Matthew, obviously trying to pressure virtual-novel.net even further. However, Matthew only smiled lightly. “Young Master Hughes, I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t cooperate with the dead!”
Travis was taken aback for a moment. “What do you mean? Who’s the dead?” asked Travis as virtual-novel.net glared at Matthew.
Hearing this, Matthew chuckled and suddenly said, “Mr. Newman, you can attack now!”
As soon as virtual-novel.net said those words, the windows around them shattered and a group of people rushed in. A look of horror appeared on Travis’ face as virtual-novel.net hurriedly got up and shouted, “I’ll kill whoever dares to come in…”
But before virtual-novel.net could finish his sentence, Travis collapsed to the ground.
