Chapter 1721


    As most of the people in the Rathbone Family had gone to Eastshire, the house was a lot emptier.


    However, the guards were still posted as usual.

    There would be a batch of patrolling guards passing by at a distance of every few feet in the huge


    court.


    Luckily, Matthew had a good look at their patrol system thest time he was here.


    He avoided the guards with ease and arrived at Macon''s court.


    Even though Macon had gone to Eastshire, Matthew did not let his guard down.


    Macon was a very cautious person. If there was a secret hidden in his court, it was possible that traps


    would be set up.


    As such, Matthew took careful steps as he entered the court and he was lucky that nothing happened.


    While he passed through the yard, he realized that there wasn''t anyone around.


    Recalling thest time he came, Matthew remembered he saw Macon stopping in front of a fake rock


    mountain for some time. He was sure there was something behind that mountain.


    He observed the area as he neared the fake rock mountain.


    His ancestors were all-rounders and dabbled in different trades and skills. One of them just so


    happened to have the skills of contraptions and mechanisms.


    After looking around for a while, Matthew located the mechanism of the trap right above the fake


    mountain.


    It was well hidden. If ordinary people came, they would not have found it as it would only look like a


    normal fake mountain to them.


    The mechanism was a hole about the size of a fist above the fake mountain that only allowed one hand


    to enter.


    As Matthew raised his hands to reach into the hole, he suddenly noticed something weird about the


    hole''s entrance.


    After observing it with caution again, he noticed that there were ck shadows around its entrance as if


    some soot was covering it.


    A thought popped into his mind as he bent down to take a sniff. A faint funky smell wafted from the


    hole, but as it was too small, Matthew did not notice it at first.


    If he didn''t stand close to the mountain and taken his time to smell it, he would not have noticed it.


    Matthew was startled at that smell as it belonged to a deadly venomous snake.


    It was called the venom chain viper that was rarely spotted as it liked to hide in dark holes, but was


    aggressive.


    As soon as any living being went near it, it would strike and bite.


    Its venom was so deadly that even elephants would die within three minutes.


    His heart pounded at the realization because Macon was indeed an insidious man to have reared such


    a venomous snake in the trap.


    If people didn''t know and came over to open the trap, they would have been bitten and died thereafter.


    Fortunately, Matthew was experienced and noticed the red g.


    If he was bitten, he might not be able to save himself even with his abilities.


    Its venom was too deadly and normal antidotes would not have worked.


    Even with his medical skills, he needed time to perform self-aid. Co?tent belo?gs to Draм?nоvеls.cоm


    He slowly reached out his hand and inched toward the hole.


    Something was jumping out fast as lightning and it was hard for any ordinary human to react.
