Chapter 1837


    The crowd was not the least bit intimidated by Aurelius'' threat.


    Victor waved his hand impatiently and snapped, ''''Enough with your nonsense, Aurelius!''''


    ''''Withdraw your men from the mountain and get the hell out of here!''''


    ''''If Dr. Larson is harmed even the slightest, all of you will pay with your lives!''''


    An enraged Harper roared, ''''Victor! How dare you talk to our patriarch like that? Do you have a death


    wish?''''


    Victor retorted hotly, ''''Why would Ie here if I were afraid of death?!''''


    ''''Your patriarch? So what? What is so great about him?!''''


    ''''You guys were the reason for my nephew''s death, and I haven''t sought revenge for that. You''d better


    watch your tongue!''''


    ''''Trust me, Harper. I''ll risk my life to kill you today to avenge my nephew''s death!''''


    Harper was dumbstruck by the turn of events.


    He was seriously wounded now. He might not have had a chance to escape if they had fought.


    Plus, it was also true that Harper was the cause of Ramon''s tragic death.


    Because of this, the members of the Albright Family loathed Harper to the core. If there were a chance


    to kill him, they would dly take it, no questions asked.


    Aurelius tried to smooth things over as he said, ''''Victor, it''s all in the past.''''


    ''''We have no intention of being enemies with you or any of the families in Eastshire and Stonedale.


    You...''''


    ''''Shut up, Aurelius!'''' Victor cut him off brusquely, ''''Cut the crap!''''


    ''''Why do I feel like you''re stalling with us here so that your men can capture Dr. Larson?''''


    ''''I''ll count to three. If you and your men don''t back off, I''ll strike first and ask questionster!''''


    Victor stood upright and shouted, ''''One! Two!''''


    Before he counted to three, Tysonmanded, ''''Everyone in the Rathbones, listen!''''


    ''''When Mr. Albright counts to three and the Damrons don''t retreat, we''ll attack them!''''


    The heads of the other families also ordered their men to get ready and charge.


    Aurelius was infuriated as he saw his n failing. He didn''t expect them to be so burdensome.


    Victor was right. He indeed nned to stall them to buy some time for his men to finally capture


    Matthew and escape via the getaway route.


    But under such circumstances, there was no way he would seed in hisst resort.


    Victor was about to count to three when Aurelius gritted his teeth and relented in frustration, ''''Alright!''''


    ''''Since all the big families in Eastshire and Stonedale are here, I''ll respect you.''''


    With that, he waved his hand andmanded, ''''Withdraw our people!''''


    The members of the Damron Family exchanged bewildered and indignant nces. Then, they


    reluctantly sent out the messages of the withdrawal of their men from the mountain.


    Victor heaved a sigh of relief at the result and beamed. ''''Thank you, Mr. Damron.''''


    ''''You''re wee!'''' Aurelius hissed through his teeth as he red at Victor.


    ''''I''ll remember what happened today and what you''ve done to me.''''


    ''''One day, someday, I''ll make you pay!''''


    Victorughed mockingly. ''''Good! I''ll be waiting for you.''''


    The members of the other families stared at Aurelius fearlessly.


    An incandescent Aurelius waited until all his men had withdrawn from the mountain before departing


    with them.


    After the withdrawal of the Damron Family, Victor hurriedly ordered his men to go up the mountain and


    rescue Matthew.  Dr?мanоvels

    the hill.


    Such a fortuitous situation was also entirely out of Matthew''s expectations.
