Chapter 1865


    Matthew was convinced that Aurelius'' willingness toply with his request had been instigated by the


    head of the Damron Family, Mark Damron.


    Mark was a man brimming with ambition and schemes, so he would not give up on that matter without


    a fight. Therefore, he undoubtedly had other ns up his sleeve, which caused Matthew a severe


    headache. Matthew could devise a defense if the Damrons showed up with real weapons. However, if


    they decided to do it hically, Matthew would be unaware of the consequences. Moreover, he could


    not inform Victor or the others about the situation because they were incapable of handling such a


    circumstance, and he did not want them to be worried.


    As soon as Aurelius spoke with Matthew, he made a public statement in the name of the Damron


    Family, iming that a full investigation had concluded that Matthew was innocent of involvement in


    Jasper''s death! After the announcement, everyone was baffled, especially those who had previously


    used the opportunity to insult Matthew and were now on the verge of crying. What on earth was


    happening? If the Damrons were so aggressive in their attempt to bring Matthew down, why did they


    suddenly im that the issue had nothing to do with him? What were they doing? Was it a joke?


    Furthermore, the people of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale and Eastshire had copsed onto


    their knees upon hearing that.


    Even though Victor, Tyson, and the others came to assist Matthew, most families were hesitant to lend


    a hand. They reasoned that helping Matthew would result in them falling out of favor with the Damrons


    and actively working toward their demise. Hence, not only were they unwilling to help, but they also


    made an effort to thwart Victor and the others from assisting Matthew. Moreover, when Victor showed


    up, the feuds between the various families over who would inherit what escted rapidly.


    As soon as these people received the news that Matthew was no longer at fault, they almost burst into


    tears! Since he was utterly meless, everyone else would have to pay the price for it, and none of


    them would be spared when he began his counterattack. As a result, many people rushed to


    congratte Matthew after hearing the news. Despite their superficial congrattions, they were


    pleading for him to be merciful. Matthew was not interested in entertaining these people; instead, he


    handed them over to Tiger, Victor, and the others to be dealt with.


    It was natural for him to ignore these opportunists, and the necessary punishment had to be carried


    out, regardless. Those involved who had not crossed the line would be spared, but they would pay a


    high price. In contrast, his backstabbing aggressors would lose their limbs as punishment for treason.


    Meanwhile, Matthew intended to bnce the forces in these two states by taking advantage of the


    situation.


    Later that night, Aurelius brought the Damron Family to Lakeside Garden. Since the Damrons had

    made the announcement, Matthew was obligated to fulfill his promise and provide the antidote.


    As Aurelius watched, Matthew administered the antidote and cured Aurelius'' entire family of the poison.


    Then, he fixed his gaze on Matthew. "Dr. Larson, I''ve underestimated you. As expected, you are so


    resourceful that we cannotunch an effective attack! However, you''d better know we''re not quite done


    yet!" he remarked coldly.
