Chapter 1727
Victor shook his head and exined, "The real purpose for him to detain us here was to poach each
and every one of our family''s secrets. Then, he would use these secrets to gradually deal with our
families from all aspects so as to enhance the Rathbone Family''s strength."

Matthew''s eyes widened in shock. Finally, he knew what Macon had done.
Then, he looked at the others. They all nodded, further proving that Victor wasn''t lying.
Realizing this, Matthew took a deep breath. I never dreamed that I would discover such a secret when I
decided to enter this dungeon in the first ce. My initial n was to steal Nevend Pharmaceuticals''
ledger and use it to cause internal conflicts among the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. Yet, who
would''ve thought that I would obtain such shocking news here. The Rathbone Family will definitely
be the target of public criticism if this matter spreads out!
Suppressing his emotions, he whispered, "Was everything you all told me true?"
When Victor heard that, he answered, "We''re already in such a crippled state. Do we think we still have
the need to lie to you? He has pressed us for our family''s secrets in the first few years. Later, his greed
increasingly escted and he began to demand us for the secrets of our family''spendium—one
that has been passed down from generations to generations. Over the years, he has kept us locked up
here and not killed us just so he could obtain our family''spendium."
Matthew was feeling all the more shocked after he learned this. Macon really is insidious!
"Hasn''t anyone in your family looked for you even after he detained you here for so many years?" he
asked curiously.
Victor shook his head and replied, "Macon is extremely secretive. No one ever finds out what he''s up to
at all. Moreover, he was especially diligent. He''s the only one who knows about this whole thing. Even
when the dungeon was in the process of being constructed, he just secretly grabbed some workers
here to do the work. After the dungeon was finished, he immediately killed all those workers and buried
them here. In fact, outsiders don''t even know that there''s a dungeon like this under Macon''s court. After
years of being detained here, you are the first ever person we''ve seen who has made it this far. Except
for Macon, no one has ever set foot in here at all!"
Suddenly, the man, who was next to Victor, chimed in, "That''s right! Macon is particrly diligent in
carrying out his sinister plots. He''ll let his younger brother, Tyson, out of the dungeon if he goes out.
Not only that, he''ll also release the tendon-weakening dust into the air of the stone chamber. The
tendon-weakening dust is a colorless and odorless powdery chemical which can make people lose
their strength without them knowing. In order to let Tyson help him guard this ce, he''ll give him the
antidote so that he won''t be affected by the tendon-weakening dust.
"Once the outsiders break into this ce, they''ll unknowinglye into contact with the tendon-
weakening dust. Death is inevitable if theye across Tyson after passing through the stone
chamber containing the tendon-weakening dust. As for Macon, when hees in, he just needs to
take the hairpin at the door, throw it into the dungeon, and lure Tyson in. But that''s him, not the
outsiders. How on earth will the outsiders be able to figure these traps when theye in?"
Listening to the man''s statement, Matthew first remembered about the traps Macon set outside. Then,
he remembered about the situation whereby Macon hid Tyson in the dark so that he couldunch a
sneak attack on the intruders. Finally, he nodded in agreement with the man next to Victor.
Like what both these men had said, it wasn''t easy for outsiders to locate this ce—let alonee
inside.
Even if others were able to locate this dungeon, the traps that were set outside would be deadly
enough for them.
Hence, with so many booby traps lying around this basement, how many, except for Matthew, could
actually make it out alive? Co?tent of Dr?manovеls
