Chapter 1471


    Hearing those words, everyone turned their heads simultaneously toward Master Wayne. One of the


    family heads said, "What kind of nonsense is this? If Matthew Larson wants to be known as the Lord of


    Eastshire and reign over us, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, then he must pay with his life! For


    that young brat to want to achieve what Billy Newman failed, just who does he think he is?"


    The rest of them nodded in assent with what was said.


    Master Wayne waved his hand.


    "Everyone, I understand where you are alling from. However, the question we must ask is if


    Matthew Larson ns to reign over the Ten Families. Just look at the King of the South. Master Levi


    controls the entirety of the Six Southern States, but the great families of the Six Southern States still


    hold their own territory with the right to speak up. That man had never reigned over the great families of


    the Six Southern States and, unless it was something serious, had never even interfered with their


    affairs!"


    Saying that, he took a nce around the room before he continued, "By that same token, Matthew


    Larson''s title as the Lord of Eastshire is but a sham. As long as we treat him with respect, he will not


    interfere with our affairs. That would be the best-case scenario here. But, look at us now. What are we


    all doing here? We''re nning to use whatever means necessary to im Matthew''s life. Not to


    mention, we''ve even used the Cosby Family against him. In the end, not only did he survive that


    ordeal, but his resentment toward us had grown much deeper. Gentlemen, should hee for us when


    he finds out the truth of the matter, just how many of the Nine Greatest Families of Eastshire would be


    left?"


    The crowd became silent as they listened to Master Wayne''s words. Just as he said, everyone here


    would have to pay a great price should they choose to go against Matthew. Each and every one of

    them started to think that it might be best for them to tolerate Matthew from now on.


    However, Philip was the only one in the room whose expression had changed. The reason why he was


    so keen on going against Matthew was to exploit the situation now to prove the strength of the White


    Family as well as to increase his prestige among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.


    Should the families here refrain from bing enemies of Matthew Larson, then all of his ns would


    be in vain.


    Not to mention, Philip''s end goal for his years of nning was to eventually control all of Eastshire. If


    he could not deal with Matthew right now, then the White Family would never truly be able to control


    Eastshire regardless of their strength. Therefore, peaceful coexistence with Matthew was simply not an


    option for him. He must end Matthew right now.


    Amidst the crowd''s silence, Philip said coldly, "Hah, Master Wayne, don''t you think you''re being naive


    here? With Matthew''s character, do you think he will coexist with us? Just how many families had been


    destroyed by that man the very moment he came to Eastshire? Furthermore, don''t you know just what


    kind of person the crown prince of Mightwater is? Right now, he still hasn''t caught on that we are the


    ones behind the Cosby Family’s incident. Gentlemen, if he knows that we are the ones responsible for


    that affair, do you think he will be merciful toward us?"
