Chapter 1816


    The gardener left after leaving the man with a message to take back to Levi.


    Meanwhile, the man slumped onto the ground. This time, he had no strength left to get back up.


    Absalon continued to stand at the side as he watched it all happen in astonishment.


    Never in his craziest dreams would he believe someone would talk like that to Levi, of all people.


    He was filled with doubt as he couldn''t figure out who Szar was. How is it possible for him not to


    show any respect for Master Levi?


    Soon, the gardener came back.


    He had changed intofortable clothes and had a knapsack with him. Now, he looked like an


    ordinary tourist.


    "Let''s go!" Szar called out to Absalon before walking off.


    The whole time, he didn''t even bother looking at the man on the ground.


    Absalon followed after him in a hurry. By now, he was shocked to the core.


    …


    At 5.00 PM, the Damrons'' convoy entered Eastcliff.


    As soon as they arrived, they booked the entire Times Hotel and announced that Matthew was toe


    to Times Hotel that night to kneel in front of them and admit his mistake.


    Otherwise, they were going to storm Lakeside Garden and kill Matthew themselves!


    The entirety of Eastcliff was in an uproar.


    Everyone knew just how powerful the Damrons were.


    The talk revolved around what would happen to Matthew this time.


    However, regardless of whether they supported Matthew, everyone agreed that Matthew was doomed


    this time!


    After all, the Damron Family was one of thergest families in Bainbridge. There were talks of them


    ranking among the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay someday.


    Even Levi wouldn''t dare to underestimate a family as mighty as theirs.


    Although Matthew''s social standing had shot up rapidly, he didn''te from an illustrious background


    and didn''t have a powerful figure to back him up.


    He couldn''t stand up against a force as formidable as the Damrons.


    Thus, everyone assumed that Matthew''s fate had been decided—he was going to die!


    …


    At Lakeside Garden.


    Melvin set his phone down and nced over to the couch where Matthew was sitting. "Old Master


    Jackson just called. He said he was going to bring the Jacksons to Times Hotel to support you, but I


    talked him out of it."


    Matthew nodded and spoke up quietly, "Melvin, if I don''t make it past tonight, you''ll need to help me tell


    Nat about their kindness. These are the ones who have helped me during my darkest hour. Remember

    to repay their kindness if the chancees along in the future!"


    Melvin sighed in mncholy and muttered, "I didn''t think that the Damrons woulde so soon. They


    caught uspletely off-guard. Matthew, why don''t you… consider running now? Like they always say,


    while there''s life, there''s hope!"


    Melvin sighed helplessly. He knew he couldn''t convince Matthew otherwise. Matthew was stubborn like


    that.


    Though, it was just as Matthew said as well.


    If he ran off without even meeting the Damrons first, he wouldn''t be able to make aeback ever


    again!


    Society looked down on cowards.


    If someone were willing to confront their obstacles, even if they lost, they would still be viewed with


    respect. Co?tent belo?gs to Draм?nоvеls.cоm


    Melvin opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, nothing came out. He could only nod his head


    solemnly.


    Matthew stepped out of thepound and looked up at the dark clouds slowly gathering along the


    horizon.


    Ominous clouds were approaching. The storm ising!
