When Matthew arrived at the edge of the gazebo, a dark figure popped up in front of virtual-novel.net quietly and happened to block his path. The dark figure was none other than the young woman in black.
Undoubtedly, virtual-novel.net had been standing by near the gazebo the entire time. However, Matthew never sensed virtual-novel.net presence at all.
The young woman’s gaze at Matthew was a malicious one, making virtual-novel.net seem like a venomous snake that would strike at any given second.
Her stare sent chills down Matthew’s spine, and virtual-novel.net felt an inexplicable coldness within, causing virtual-novel.net to clench his fits and keep his guard up against this young woman reflexively. At the same time, virtual-novel.net was panicking a little, for virtual-novel.net was certainly no match for virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net really attacked him.
Just then, Levi’s voice came from behind him. ”Think long and hard about it, young man. Perhaps you’ll change your idea! You can come to me whenever you’ve changed your mind…”
At that, the young woman retreated slowly and made way for Matthew.
Meanwhile, Matthew turned around to find that Levi had returned to the side of the lake and hurled the fishing hook into the water.
“I really appreciate your kind gesture, Master Levi…” Matthew cupped his hands.
“However, this is really where I draw the line. I will never do such a thing!”
With that, virtual-novel.net turned and left.
Levi, on the other hand, looked as calm as still water. He sat by the lake as though virtual-novel.net hadn’t heard a word Matthew said. However, when Matthew’s footsteps could no longer be heard, a gleam flashed across Levi’s eyes, it was so quick that not even the young woman caught it despite standing next to him.
“Master Levi, why did you let virtual-novel.net leave?” virtual-novel.net whispered, virtual-novel.net gaze frosty.
“He should die for not appreciating your help when you’ve personally come to talk to him, wanting to save virtual-novel.net from a dire situation!”
To that, Levi waved his hand. “It’s normal for a young man to not know his limits. He’ll only know just how evil the world can be once virtual-novel.net has truly suffered…”
“I’ve already given virtual-novel.net a chance. It’s down to virtual-novel.net whether virtual-novel.net will seize it. You just need to remember to keep a close eye on the Damrons. Let them do certain things as they wish, but there are some things they absolutely cannot lay their fingers on. Got it?”
“Yes, sir!” The young woman nodded in acknowledgment.
She knew Levi was referring to the Restoration Pill. The Damrons could kill Matthew all they wanted, but they were not to obtain the Restoration Pill.
Just because the Damrons had their eyes on this fat pig, it didn’t mean Levi didn’t.
When Levi’s chauffeur returned Matthew to Lakeside Garden, Phoenix was still standing in the yard. He frowned when virtual-novel.net saw that Matthew had returned. Clearly, Matthew and Levi didn’t come to an agreement when only Matthew returned, and Phoenix didn’t receive further orders from Levi.
At that, virtual-novel.net approached Matthew and whispered, “Are you certain you want to fight the Damrons head-on?”
Matthew smiled in response. “I don’t think I have a second choice…”
“Master Levi just gave me a few missions to see to in the Western Territory,” Phoenix disclosed. “I won’t be able to come back so quickly. I’m afraid I won’t be of much help when it comes to the Damrons.”
Matthew knew that Levi had deliberately sent Phoenix away. Evidently, virtual-novel.net was telling Matthew to marry Brittany or face the Damrons alone!
“No matter what, I still have to thank you for all the help you’ve given me, and don’t worry. I won’t die so easily…” Matthew smiled.
Phoenix smiled wryly in response and patted Matthew’s shoulder, mumbling, “Run if you can, don’t act tough. Where there’s life, there’s hope. You’ll only be able to retaliate when you’re alive. I hope we can still go for a drink when I come back…”
To that, Matthew nodded heavily. After a sigh, Phoenix left.
Meanwhile, indescribable loss crept up on Matthew when virtual-novel.net watched Phoenix leave, for virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net had no one to back virtual-novel.net up this time.
