Chapter 1148


    Chapter 1148 The Lead Is Exhausted


    Judging from how Old Master Leigh looks, he doesn’t seem to be lying. In that case, what the hell’s


    going on with Johnny? thought Matthew to himself. “Old Master Leigh, I think that Johnny is way too


    conceited and arrogant, and he doesn’t care about proprieties when doing things. Why would you let him


    be the head of the Leigh Family?” he asked.


    Old Master Leigh gave a look that suggested he had no other choice. “Mr. Larson, I didn’t want him to be


    the head of the family either. But out of my five sons, four died young; he’s the only one who survived. If I


    didn’t let him be the head of the family… who else could I appoint?”


    Matthew frowned. So, at the end of the day, Old Master Leigh only let Johnny, the ck sheep of the


    family, be the head of the Leigh Family because he had no other choice. But this sounds so fishy to me.


    Out of Old Master Leigh’s five sons, four died young, yet the most ipetent of them survived. Isn’t


    that too much of a coincidence? After falling silent for a while, he ordered, “Call Johnny over. I’ve got


    some questions for him!”


    Old Master Leigh nodded. However, just as he was about to leave the room, someone rushed inside


    and said excitedly, “Old Master, we don’t have to y nice with Matthew anymore! The others from the


    Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff are here! They’re here to back us up!”


    Old Master Leigh was taken aback. He was somewhat puzzled. Why would the others from the Ten


    Greatest Families of Eastcliff pop up all of a sudden at this very moment? Didn’t they say earlier that they


    wouldn’t support what he and his family were doing?


    On the other hand, Matthew knitted his brows. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence that those from the Ten


    Greatest Families came at this very moment? Could it be that the third family working with the voodoo


    n in Orleans is manipting all this from behind the scenes? But why would the family want to stop


    me from doing anything to the Leigh Family? Could it be that there’s still another secret about the Leigh


    Family that’s unknown to me?


    While Matthew was puzzled, many hade in from the outside, and they were all key figures amongst


    the Ten Greatest Families.


    As soon as these people came in, they barked, “Don’t go too far, Matthew! The Leigh Family is one of


    the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, after all. How could you ughter your way to the Leigh


    Residence?


    Do you really think that none of us will stand up to you? We, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, will


    never sit by and do nothing about what happened today!” They kept yelling at Matthew, treating him as


    an enemy.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Having basically gotten the answer he wanted from the Leigh Family, Matthew didn’t bother to sh with


    these people head-on, of course. “Hmph, you guys came at such a right time, eh? Coming here at this


    moment to be the good guys after the Leigh Family has apologized to me, huh? Tsk, tsk, since you guys


    are so united, why didn’t youe earlier?” he mocked, before striding off with Tiger and the others.


    On the other hand, Old Master Leigh exchanged a few words of greetings with those from the Ten


    Greatest Families of Eastcliff before sending them away. Like Matthew, he couldn’t help losing himself in


    deep thought. The few questions that Matthew had asked aroused his suspicions as well. Could it be that


    Johnny isn’t just being reckless in attempting to gobble up the Telk Family’s business?


    Meanwhile, as soon as Matthew left the Leigh Residence, he called Wilson, asking thetter who had


    organized the rest of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff toe to the Leigh Residence.


    However, Wilson told him that the nine other greatest families hade to the Leigh Residence on their


    own without anybody organizing them. This was because as soon as Matthew fought his way into the


    Leigh Residence, the nine other greatest families of Eastcliff immediately heard a rumor.


    The rumor said that Matthew had trodden the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff underfoot by fighting his


    way to the Leigh Residence with his men, and the fact that the other nine families dared not make a


    sound about this proved that the Ten Greatest Families were a bunch of good-for-nothings. Angered by


    the rumor, the nine other families immediately came together and went to the Leigh Residence.


    Upon hearing Wilson’s exnation, Matthew frowned at once. There was no doubt that the ones who


    spread this rumor had to be the third family that was actually working with the voodoo n.


    However, the problem was that rumors were usually baseless, so there was no way to find out the


    rumor’s sources. The lead is exhausted again! Seems like I’ve got to start with Johnny after all. I’ve got


    to find an opportunity to interrogate him myself!
