Rooted to the spot, Zion didn’t dare to utter a single word because virtual-novel.net recognized Tiger.
The old Tiger used to be on par with him, so virtual-novel.net wasn’t afraid, but the Tiger now was no longer at the same level as virtual-novel.net used to be. Previously in the incident with the Lewis Family, Tiger had gone head-on with the Ten Greatest Families and won a big victory. After that, Tiger’s reputation in Eastcliff boomed, and so did his power. And now, Zion was completely one level below with Tiger around.
Seeing that Zion was motionless, Lisa became annoyed unwittingly, “Honey, what are you doing?! Quickly, stop them! Those are our cars! W-What are you doing?!”
Annoyance struck Zion suddenly, and virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a slap, “Shut up!”
Stunned, Lisa couldn‘t figure out why Zion slapped virtual-novel.net instead.
Just then, Tiger came in with his men, and Zion hurriedly went to greet virtual-novel.net with a smile, ”Master Tiger, what brought you here?”
Without even glancing at him, Tiger walked straight to Matthew and bowed, “Mr. Larson!”
Then, the people behind virtual-novel.net followed suit and bowed. “Mr. Larson!”
In the room, everyone was shocked beyond words. Who would have thought that the young man who was publicly mocked and thought to be an idiot was actually that powerful!
Even the big shot whom Zion had to butter up bad to bow down to this young man! What was going on?
Unwittingly, Zion shuddered because virtual-novel.net suddenly had a hunch that things were looking bad for himself. Even the crowd started to murmur amongst themselves.
“Who’s that? He’s so arrogant!”
“Did Master Zion address virtual-novel.net as Master Tiger? Master Tiger?! Is virtual-novel.net that Master Tiger from South Street?”
“Of course! Who else in Eastcliff would have the nerves to take this nickname?”
“Goodness, Master Tiger of South Street! H-He’s the greatest gangster boss in Eastcliff right now.”
“Really? Why is Master Tiger so polite to this young man? Just who is he?”
“Could virtual-novel.net be an heir to one of the Ten Greatest Families?“
“That’s nonsense! Master Tiger is the cousin of Stanley Carlson. There’s no reason for virtual-novel.net to be so polite to an heir from the Ten Greatest Families.”
Blood drained from everyone‘s faces as they were too stunned for words, especially the people who spoke up for Lisa earlier, who were now regretting and shaking in fear. Initially, they thought that they could fawn over Zion, but they realized that they were in deep trouble now.
Meanwhile. Zion’s face fell, virtual-novel.net could already guess who Matthew was. The person who could demand so much respect from Tiger must be Matthew Larson, whose name had just risen recently. Twice, virtual-novel.net went head-on with the Ten Greatest Families, and virtual-novel.net won both times. Billy Newman and Timothy Wayne both openly showed their support for him, as did Leanna Sandel. despite virtual-novel.net family’s objections.
Matthew Larson was now totally a legend in Eastcliff!
Maybe the people in the lower class didn’t know, but the more well-informed ones in the higher class knew about Matthew.
This was true for Zion as well, virtual-novel.net already knew that the Telk Family had given in to Matthew and gave virtual-novel.net thirty percent of the shares of Renaissance Mall. Even the Telk Family had compromised, so how could virtual-novel.net not?
After a short moment of silence, Zion limped over and went on his knees with a loud thud.
”Mr. Larson. I was blind and failed to recognize you. Please forgive me if I offended you in any way, and please give me another chance!”
An uproar broke out from the crowd. While they were still guessing who Matthew was, Zion had already gone on his knees!
Next to Zion. his wife almost pissed herself. For always, virtual-novel.net had been a snob outside and acted arrogantly using virtual-novel.net husband’s reputation. Even the Telk Family had to show them some respect, and virtual-novel.net had never suffered any grievances, so it never struck virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had hit a tough nail this time.
Casting virtual-novel.net a look, Matthew said slowly, “Didn’t you say that you’ll take after my family name if I don’t die by your hands today? So, are you going to change your name now?”
