Chapter 1575


    Matthew frowned at this. He had done some research on the situation here in Stonedale beforeing


    over, and he knew all about Macon being the most powerful martial artist in the province, but he didn''t


    think the man could even outdo Arnold.


    Nheless, Matthew was not too worried about it. He had be even stronger over this short


    period of time courtesy of the breakthrough pill. Having ingested that, he did not need the energy pill to


    sustain his strength in a fight.


    That said, he couldn''t truly grasp how strong Macon was until he took him on in a fight, but he was

    prepared to use the energy pill whenever necessary. The pill would be his trump card, and even if he


    was no match for Macon in real life, the pill would make sure he could defeat the man without fail.


    The only w was that one could not consume the energy pill on a whim. After all, the moment the


    effects of the pill died off, one would lose allbative strength and be vulnerable to the enemy''s


    attacks. If that were to happen to Matthew, his death would be imminent even if he managed to defeat


    Macon, unless, of course, he brought backup.


    He pondered on this for a moment before saying, "Edmund, you know the Ten Greatest Families of


    Stonedale better than I do. Think about which of the families would be more ready to side with you


    while I figure out ways to get our hands on the ounts."


    Upon seeing how determined Matthew was, Edmund did not try to dissuade him anymore and merely


    nodded.


    It was 1.00AM when a ck figure snuck into Rathbone Court.


    Matthew was d entirely in ck as he maneuvered his way through the Rathbones'' courtyard, the


    topography of which he had Edmund draw out from memory. Given that Edmund had once been close


    friends with the young master of the Rathbone Family, he frequented the ce and knew the courtyard


    like it was his own home.


    As such, he was able to draw out a picture as vivid as his memory would allow.


    On the map were two vague areas that not even Edmund knew about. One of them was the house


    where Macon lived alone. Apparently, not a lot of people were allowed to step foot into it.


    As for the other vague area, it was the Rathbone Family Depository.


    With the Rathbones being a prominent martial arts family, it was not surprising that they would keep


    valuable books on martial arts as well as other rare collectibles. Only the core members of the family


    could ess these things, and all outsiders were kept from entering the Depository.


    Edmund guessed that if Macon wanted to keep the secret ounts somewhere hidden, the Depository


    would be their safest bet.


    Unfortunately, there didn''t seem to be any way into the building. Naturally, one would be a fool to try


    and trespass into Macon''s house, but the Depository was the most heavily-guarded ce in the entire


    Rathbonepound. From the looks of it, the guards probably wouldn''t even let a gnat get through,


    and breaching security was impossible regardless of how stealthy one tried to be.


    Surely, not even the almighty Rathbones could afford that much help!


    Besides, such tight security was redundant, seeing as no one in their right mind would dare intrude into


    thepound and cause a scene.  Draмanovels.cоm
