Chapter 1577


    The Rathbone Estate and the Depository saw peopleing in and leaving on a frequent basis, but


    the most mysterious ce of all on the entire estate was none other than Macon''s court. The only ones


    who had any right to go into his house in the court were his children, Old Master Rathbone, and his


    wife.


    On that note, even his own children had been warned not toe and go as they pleased. From what


    he told them, the house in the court was a sanctuary for him to recollect his thoughts and refine his


    martial arts. However, Matthew thought he could be lying. He had analyzed Macon''s traits and decided


    that there must be something very important in the house, which was why Macon did not allow anyone


    to go in without first alerting him of their presence.


    Matthew had put his theory to the test by knocking out the guards at the Depository. Seeing as it was

    the most hallowed ce in the entire Rathbone Estate, Matthew had achieved no small feat by causing


    such widespread rm and creating the illusion that someone was trying to break into the Depository.


    But Macon, who was the esteemed head of the Rathbone Family, did not even bother leaving his


    house to see if the security had truly been breached. Instead, he chose to stay put and dispatch most


    of the men to search the grounds. This could only mean that Matthew was right; there was something


    important Macon kept hidden in his house, something that he must stay to protect.


    Presently, Matthew hid behind the man-made hill and waited for close to two hours before the ruckus in


    the rest of the estate quieted down.


    Just then, a young man, who happened to be Macon''s son, walked into the private court and reported


    that there was no sign of the person who knocked out the guards at the Depository.


    He also added that Gregory had dropped by to check on the guards only to find that they had been


    knocked out by a special dry concoction that even he could not replicate.


    As such, Gregory warned the Rathbones to watch their backs, because the intruder was no simple


    burr.


    Upon hearing all this, Macon fell silent, and a momentter, he dismissed his son with a wave of his


    hand.


    Matthew saw and heard everything clearly from where he was hiding behind the hill.


    It wasn''t long after Macon''s son had left the court that Macon himself came out of the house and paced


    around the garden. He appeared to be deep in thought, but there were moments when there was a


    flicker of hesitation on his face.


    In the end, he went back into the house.


    Matthew had taken note of his every gesture, and he noticed that Macon would slow down and stop in


    front one of the man-made hills, then stare at it for a few seconds before seemingly changing his mind.


    Without a doubt, there was something wrong with that hill.


    Havingmitted the exact location of the hill to memory, Matthew did not dawdle in the garden any


    longer than necessary. He was hiding in a spot that was not far from Macon''s house and coupled with


    his strength, he could easily be on par with the older man.


    Throughout the whole time, Macon did not know that someone had intruded upon his private court.


    The next morning, he stuck on a fake beard and turned himself into a middle-aged man, then arrived at


    the budget hotel Edmund was staying at.


    Matthew smiled and nodded.  Draмa?ovеls.cом


    A chuckle escaped Matthew. "Not yet, but I''m sure I''ll find what we want soon."
