Inside Billy’s manor in Eastcliff, Stanley stood before Billy and narrated with a grave expression how Matthew turned Eastshire upside down and audaciously killed Oliver Fisher, leading Billy to guffaw.
“The boy’s chivalrous! As expected of the son of the King of Northern Territory. He sure hasn’t disgraced Shane’s name! I knew I was right to leave Eastcliff in his hands!” Billy beamed.
Stanley, on the contrary, was troubled. “It is indeed delightful that Matthew had done so, Master Newman, but that way, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire will have a reason to kill him! I got word that nearly all the fighters of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire are on the move. They’re planning to kill Matthew before virtual-novel.net can reach Eastcliff! Master Newman, they’ve sent an army. Matthew… Matthew probably won’t be able to make it…”
Billy smiled in response. “Worry not. They won‘t be able to kill Matthew so easily! Send our men to keep a close eye on the Ten Greatest Families. I want to know what they’re doing at all times. Also, fuel up my plane. Hmph! Time to play with those gaffers!”
Overjoyed, Stanley asked, “Does this mean you’re stepping in, Master Newman?”
“That’s the plan,” Billy said with a smile. “But, not yet. First, I want to see how far virtual-novel.net can reach when virtual-novel.net has the Ten Greatest Families on his tail! I hope virtual-novel.net won’t disappoint me!”
At that, virtual-novel.net looked toward the direction of Eastshire as he stood on the balcony, his gaze shining. Deep down, virtual-novel.net was filled with hope for Matthew.
Meanwhile, Matthew sped across a remote lane in Eastshire on a motorcycle. He had swapped out his car for this motorcycle and even disguised his appearance to rush back to Eastcliff, as virtual-novel.net was well aware that killing Oliver meant that virtual-novel.net had opened Pandora’s box. The Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire would undoubtedly hunt virtual-novel.net down.
At this time, planes and trains were a no-go, not even a car. He would be tracked down easily. Hence, his safest bet was to leave on a motorcycle.
In fact, it was just as Matthew assumed. The Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire still hadn’t located him. Hence, virtual-novel.net escaped with ease, even though the Ten Greatest Families had dispatched their men to all corners of the city. Plus, virtual-novel.net made sure to only traverse on lanes like this one that didn’t have surveillance. Under such circumstances. It would be challenging for the Ten Greatest Families to track virtual-novel.net down.
Of course, leaving Eastshire on a motorcycle also had its shortcomings, it wasn‘t fast enough. He had been riding an entire night, yet virtual-novel.net still hadn’t reached the borders of Eastshire.
When dawn came. Matthew arrived in a small town. and virtual-novel.net looked for a breakfast stand with his helmet on. After having a quick breakfast, virtual-novel.net continued his journey back to Eastcliff.
However, just as virtual-novel.net reached the borders of this small town, virtual-novel.net discovered a few cars parked horizontally on the road ahead. The cars formed a barricade, sealing the road off so that the people who were passing could be checked one by one. Be it trucks, cars, motorcycles, or passing pedestrians, no one could escape from being inspected.
Matthew frowned at that. ‘Looks like the Ten Greatest Families have widened their search perimeters.’
If virtual-novel.net had known this would happen, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have taken this route. However, if virtual-novel.net suddenly headed back now, virtual-novel.net would definitely get caught. Hence, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to bite the bullet and head toward it on his motorcycle.
The moment virtual-novel.net reached, a few people stopped him.
Matthew’s appearance had changed under the disguise. Hence, those men didn’t suspect a thing when they compared his face with the photo in their hands. Meanwhile, Matthew acted all docile, as though virtual-novel.net genuinely was a local passerby. However, after comparing his face with the photo, one of the men suddenly requested, “Please show us your ID!”
