Chapter 732


    It was a turbulent night in Eastcliff. With the Head of the White Family dead, the Whites had to choose a


    new leader. They also lost a lot of power and influence in the process, which turned them into the


    weakest among the ten greatest families of Eastcliff. Other than that, their wealth was also quickly


    divided up by others after Owen and Gordon died.


    Unsurprisingly, the ten families swept away half of the wealth. Stanley took one fifth of it, while the rest


    were transferred to Matthew. It was Billy who decided on the division of the assets, so nobody dared


    utter a word in protest.


    By the next morning, Matthew went to Billy’s ce after dropping Sasha off at herpany. Billy had


    yed a major role in the incident, so he figured he should visit Billy as a show of his gratitude.


    When he arrived, Billy had just had breakfast, and was sitting on the balcony with Brittany. She had


    made great progress in her recovery. Not only did she make a full recovery, but she had regained her


    beauty too. Her features were even more delicate than Sasha’s. Now, she was only eighteen, so in a few


    years, she would probably rece Sasha as the most beautiful woman in all of Eastcliff, just like how


    Sasha reced Leanna.


    As soon as she saw Matthew, she greeted him sweetly before pouring him some tea. After Matthew sat


    down beside Billy, he took a sip out of his tea. “Mr. Newman, you have my gratitude for what


    happened.”


    Billy put his cup down with a chuckle. “Mr. Larson, I owe you a lot. This isn’t even enough to repay you.


    Besides, Den had crossed a line this time. I haven’t been making much of an appearance during the


    past few years, while Stanley has been doing a great job at managing the business. Seeing that the ten


    families seemed to have forgotten who is the First King of Eastcliff, this is actually a great opportunity to


    remind them of that.”


    Matthew wore a faint smile. “Although you can put it that way, I should thank you nheless, Mr.


    Newman.”

    Then, Billy nced at Matthew before suddenly saying, “Mr. Larson, what is the position that you would


    like to achieve in life?”


    Startled, Matthew wasn’t sure why Billy would ask that out of the blue. After pondering on the topic for a


    bit, he replied, “I’ve never thought about it, but there are other things that I must do.”


    “By that, do you mean revenge?” Billy questioned in a hushed voice.


    Matthew’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he already found out my identity?


    Instead of looking at Matthew, Billy opted to fix his gaze on somewhere faraway. “Your name should be


    well-known throughout the country considering your superb medical skills. Yet, you chose to hide


    yourself in Eastcliff, not even allowing word about your medical skills to spread. This means you are


    ambitious. For now, you are gathering up strength, as well as waiting for the opportunity to strike.


    Nobody would act like you unless they are aiming for blood vengeance.”


    Matthew was shaken by Billy’s analysis, which confirmed that Billy was no ordinary man. Although Billy


    never made much of a public appearance, he could read people well, and was consequently able to


    have everything under his control. He would remain perfectly still until it was the right moment to strike,


    during which he would aim to kill.


    He sure is the hero of our times! Matthew heaved a sigh. “I will not run away from my responsibilities.”


    Billy burst intoughter. “Well said! You know what is most important to you!” With that, he stood up to


    walk up to the railing. “It has been eighteen years. It’s time for me to leave.”


    What he said caught Matthew off guard, which prompted him to ask in shock, “Where are you going, Mr.


    Newman?”


    Billy let out a chuckle. “It’s just as you said. I won’t run away from my responsibilities.”


    The statement stunned Matthew. Considering Billy’s status, he should have already aplished all of


    the goals he set in life. Besides, he was still the First King of Eastcliff. If he needed something done, all


    that was required of him would be to give amand. Then, people would flock in to carry out his


    orders. There was no need for him to personally attend to anything.


    “I’m afraid I don’t get what you mean, Master Newman.” Matthew was being honest.


    Billy cast him a nce before posing a question. “You’ll know when the timees. All I want to know is


    if you will be able to devour all of the Ten Greatest Families within a year?”
