Melvin sat next to Matthew inside Matthew’s mansion in Lakeside Garden, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but frown after listening to the latter’s encounter with Levi.
“Master Newman told me to keep an eye out for Levi before virtual-novel.net left Eastcliff,” said Matthew as virtual-novel.net looked at Melvin. “I’ll be honest with you, l don’t really trust this guy!”
Matthew had only told Melvin all this because virtual-novel.net trusted the latter wholly after everything they had been through.
Melvin nodded leisurely, “I’ve never had much contact with Levi before, but my late mentor mentioned virtual-novel.net in the past, saying virtual-novel.net was most certainly a hero of his generation. He was capable, tactful, and most importantly, scheming. Nobody can guess just what in the world he’s thinking, nor would anyone know what sort of agenda virtual-novel.net has…”
“My late mentor told me this once, if possible, never get yourself involved with Levi Quirk…”
At that, Matthew glanced at Melvin, surprised that Melvin’s mentor would have such opinions of Levi.
“Who is your mentor? Is virtual-novel.net familiar with Levi?”
“My mentor?” Melvin snorted wryly. “He’s just a blind old fortune teller. When I met him, virtual-novel.net was just a wandering fortune-telling conman who would talk big whenever virtual-novel.net got drunk…”
“He claimed to be acquainted with many big shots back in the day, but who knew if virtual-novel.net was actually telling the truth at all? Then again, it was later verified that many incidents virtual-novel.net said about those people were true.”
Matthew couldn‘t help feeling shocked after hearing Melvin’s words. “I take that your mentor was also a prophet, then?”
“Prophet, my a*s!” Melvin quirked his lips. “I had to wrap virtual-novel.net up in a shabby old shroud and dig a random pit to bury virtual-novel.net in after virtual-novel.net died. If all prophets are like him, then I’d rather be a laity!”
Matthew sighed in response, surprised that Melvin’s mentor would be buried so shabbily.
No doubt that the man was also once a big shot. How lamentable that virtual-novel.net ended his life so pathetically.
“In that case, it isn’t as simple as Levi put it when virtual-novel.net insisted I marry Brittany, huh?” Matthew speculated.
“Naturally…” Melvin nodded in affirmation. “All things aside, just the fact that virtual-novel.net wants you to marry Brittany shows that he’s devising a sweet scheme.”
“And how’s that?” Matthew asked.
“Let me put it this way,” Melvin answered, “Why do you think Billy can leave Brittany in your care so assuredly before going to Bainbridge to get himself killed? Does virtual-novel.net honestly think his enemies wouldn’t retaliate against Brittany? Does virtual-novel.net honestly think you can keep virtual-novel.net safe?”
Matthew shook his head in response, knowing full well that virtual-novel.net still wasn’t powerful enough and definitely wouldn’t be able to keep Brittany out of harm’s way.
“What are you trying to say, then?” virtual-novel.net asked, making Melvin smile.
“I’ll put it this way, without you, Brittany wouldn’t be in any danger either. As long as virtual-novel.net doesn’t do anything out of bounds, no one would ever dare cause virtual-novel.net trouble! Also, the last time Macon entered Eastcliff, Levi even warned Macon to stay away from Billy’s manor. But honestly, that was entirely unnecessary!”
“Why is that so?” Matthew asked in surprise.
“Have you forgotten what I told you?” Melvin said. “Brittany’s mother is a young lady of the Nolan Family, and virtual-novel.net maternal grandfather is still one of the elders of the Nolan Family…”
“Her maternal uncle is Gabriel, the King of Stagfort, and virtual-novel.net maternal aunt is the Princess of Bainbridge, Gianna Nolan. Whoever in Cathay dares lay a finger on Brittany will no longer exist in this world the next day!”
