Chapter 1828


    Aureliusughed. "Dr. Larson, what''s the point of mincing words? My brother died in Eastcliff, and


    Eastcliff is your territory. Don''t you think you owe me an exnation?"


    "Since Eastcliff is my territory, did your brother ask for my permission beforeing here? Did the


    Damrons ask for my permission when you lot came to Eastcliff? You didn''t seek my permission and


    came in on your own ord, but when something happened, you expect me to give you an


    exnation? Isn''t that a little too unreasonable?"


    Aurelius was a little speechless. He never expected Matthew to refute him this way.


    "My, my. What a sharp tongue you have, Dr. Larson! Based on what you''re saying, does this mean


    everyone needs to seek your permission before entering Eastcliff and no one is allowed to enter


    Eastcliff without your approval?" Aurelius retorted darkly.


    Matthew turned the question back on him. "Then, based on what you said, do I need to give an


    exnation for every death that urs in Eastcliff?"


    Aurelius'' expression hardened. He never thought that Matthew could throw this back on him like that.


    He was suddenly at a loss.

    After taking a deep breath, Aurelius growled, "Larson, I''m not here to debate this with you! You owe my


    family an exnation for my brother''s death!"


    "Let me ask you something then. What makes you think you can demand an exnation from me?"


    "What makes me think I can do that? Hah! Because we''re the Damrons! Because I can make sure you


    and everyone beside you die a painful, excruciating death!"


    Matthew stood up. "In that case, what''s there for us to talk about? You can just go ahead and kill me."


    Aurelius'' expression darkened. It never urred to him that Matthew would take such a firm stance


    with him. He didn''t even have a chance to say all the things he had prepared to say.


    He frowned and gave Harper a look.


    Harper got the hint and immediately jumped in. "Larson, do you really think we can''t do anything to


    you? We''re willing to talk this out with you because we don''t want to kill an innocent person. My


    brother''s death hasn''t been resolved yet, and you could very well be the murderer. Therefore, you will


    need toe back to Bainbridge with us and cooperate with our investigation. As long as there''s


    evidence to prove that you''re not the killer, we will let you go free. The Damrons won''t harm an


    innocent person."


    Matthew scoffed. Naturally, he knew what the Damrons were up to.


    They wanted to take him back to Bainbridge because then, he would be in their hands and they could


    do whatever they wanted to him.


    It was clear that the Damrons were after the Restoration Pill.


    "Aurelius, do you think I''m a three-year-old? Why should I go to Bainbridge just because you want me


    to?" Matthew fired back.


    Matthew snorted. "You''re underestimating me, Aurelius! If I wanted Brittany''s protection, why would I


    Aurelius smirked. "Are you saying that a useless man like you who only relies on his wife has a spine


    after all?"
