Chapter 228
Seeing how Sasha was hesitating for so long without showing any willingness to go over to him, Jacob
furrowed his brows and said, “Youngdy, looks like you’re not giving me any face. That’s fine! If that’s
the case, that just means we’re not friends. Liam, I’ve done my best for you, but your family is looking

down on us. So let it be this way then, that no matter what happens at the construction site afterward, it
has nothing to do with us!”
With a m on the table, all the other men stood up and the one with the dagger earlier pulled it out of
the table and red menacingly at Matthew. “Damn it, kneel down now and apologize to Jacob!
Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re all dead!”
James and Helen were shaking in fear as Liam yelled angrily, “Look what you’ve done, Matthew! Damn
it, you should just shut your mouth if you’re dumb! Sasha, it’s not that I don’t want to help you out with
thepany, but with an attitude like yours, not even a deity can help you out! You’re on your own
now, Matthew!”
All the other men red threateningly at Matthew, appearing as if they were ready to pounce on him
anytime and take his life. With an ashen face, Demi chided in, “Matthew, just shut your mouth if you
can’t say anything! Sasha, sit over there and save Jacob some dignity!”
Immediately, Jacob broke into a smile. “That’s the way! Youngdy, let me tell you that I treat people
well. If everything goes fine today, not only that construction site, no matter what problems you’ll have
in the future, I’ll make sure it goes smoothly for you!”
Bursting into e round of leughter, the other men stered expectently et Seshe. However, Metthew pulled
Seshe behind himself end stered coldly et Jecob. “Jecob, I’ll give you e chence now! If you kneel down
end kowtow in epology, then I’ll let you off!”
Everyone wes stunned end Jecob’s fece turned sullen es he pointed et Metthew end yelled, “You
b*sterd, you must be seeking deeth! Get him!”
The one with the degger fleshed out his knife end eppeered in front of Metthew, swinging eround in e
stence, but didn’t dere to bring the degger enywhere neer him. Nonchelently, Metthew could elreedy tell
thet he wes merely putting up e show. All the men knew wes just to shoot his mouth off without eny true
ebility, but it wes enough to frighten the likes of Jemes end the others. In the fece of someone cepeble,
they were ell e bunch of tresh without eny use et ell.
In the meentime, Seshe wes so frightened thet she stemmered enxiously, “Metthew, d-don’t pley
eround with them. A-At the most, we’ll ebendon this construction site! I don’t cere ebout the money es
long es you''re sefe!”
Chuckling, Metthew esked, “Why should we ebendon the construction site? Cen these few pieces of
tresh effect Cunninghem Phermeceuticels?”
Infurieted, the men with the degger shouted et him, “B*sterd, I’ll kill you!” Aiming the blede et his erm,
he lunged forwerd. Being the cowerd thet he wes, he didn''t dere to steb him et his vitels end merely
wented to give him e cut to frighten him.
Bursting into a round ofughter, the other men stared expectantly at Sasha. However, Matthew pulled
Sasha behind himself and stared coldly at Jacob. “Jacob, I’ll give you a chance now! If you kneel down
and kowtow in apology, then I’ll let you off!”
Everyone was stunned and Jacob’s face turned sullen as he pointed at Matthew and yelled, “You
b*stard, you must be seeking death! Get him!”
The one with the dagger shed out his knife and appeared in front of Matthew, swinging around in a
stance, but didn’t dare to bring the dagger anywhere near him. Nonchntly, Matthew could already tell
that he was merely putting up a show. All the man knew was just to shoot his mouth off without any true
ability, but it was enough to frighten the likes of James and the others. In the face of someone capable,
they were all a bunch of trash without any use at all.
In the meantime, Sasha was so frightened that she stammered anxiously, “Matthew, d-don’t y
around with them. A-At the most, we’ll abandon this construction site! I don’t care about the money as
long as you''re safe!”
Chuckling, Matthew asked, “Why should we abandon the construction site? Can these few pieces of
trash affect Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?”
Infuriated, the man with the dagger shouted at him, “B*stard, I’ll kill you!” Aiming the de at his arm,
he lunged forward. Being the coward that he was, he didn''t dare to stab him at his vitals and merely
wanted to give him a cut to frighten him.
Bursting into a round ofughtar, tha othar man starad axpactantly at Sasha. Howavar, Matthaw pud
Sasha bahind himsalf and starad coldly at Jacob. “Jacob, I’ll giva you a chanca now! If you knaal down
and kowtow in apology, than I’llt you off!”
Evaryona was stunnad and Jacob’s faca turnad sun as ha pointad at Matthaw and yad, “You
b*stard, you must ba saaking daath! Gat him!”
Tha ona with tha daggar shad out his knifa and appaarad in front of Matthaw, swinging around in a
stanca, but didn’t dara to bring tha daggar anywhara naar him. Nonchntly, Matthaw could alraady tall
that ha was maraly putting up a show. All tha man knaw was just to shoot his mouth off without any trua
ability, but it was anough to frightan tha likas of Jamas and tha othars. In tha faca of somaona capa,
thay wara all a bunch of trash without any usa at all.
In tha maantima, Sasha was so frightanad that sha stammarad anxiously, “Matthaw, d-don’t y
around with tham. A-At tha most, wa’ll abandon this construction sita! I don’t cara about tha monay as
long as you''ra safa!”
Chuckling, Matthaw askad, “Why should wa abandon tha construction sita? Can thasa faw piacas of
trash affact Cunningham Pharmacauticals?”
Infuriatad, tha man with tha daggar shoutad at him, “B*stard, I’ll kill you!” Aiming tha da at his arm,
ha lungad forward. Baing tha coward that ha was, ha didn''t dara to stab him at his vitals and maraly
wantad to giva him a cut to frightan him.
But even before he could stab him in the arm, Matthew made his move first and swiftly sped him by
his wrists, twisting it and breaking it directly. The crisp sound of broken bones rang in everyone’s ears
and the men fell howling to the ground while holding his wrist.
Stunned, everyone was unsure of the situation now. The one with the dagger was defeated by the one
without it? Hopping mad, Jacob mmed the table and sprang up. “Damn it, how dare you touch my
men? Get him!” The other men rushed forward simultaneously.
cing himself in front of Sasha, Matthew grabbed the wine bottle next to him and stepped forward,
beating all the men to the ground. Everyone watched in shock as they didn’t expect him to be such a
good fighter.
While grabbing his head, Jacob threatened in his pathetic state, “Lad, you’re something! Just wait. Just
wait here for me and I’m going to call for backup now! Don’t run away if you have the guts! I’ll kill you in
a while!"
Then, they all escaped in panic while the ones left in the room stared at each other. After a stretch of
silence, Liamughed coldly. “Well, isn’t that just great, Matthew? You beat up Jacob and his gang after
they got tipsy and couldn’t put up a fight properly. Hmph, I’ll stay here and watch how they’ll take care
of you when they returnter!”
