    Chapter 1150 A Diversion


    With that, the masked man left in panic.


    A hint of disdain flickered across Lord Voodoo’s face as he watched the masked man disappear from his


    sight. Standing by the window, he stared at the night sky. After pondering for a long time, he eventually


    waved his hand. “Spread the word about Gilbert Nn to Billy. I want him to disappear from Eastcliff


    within three days!”


    A man beside him immediately nodded before turning around and leaving in a hurry.


    An hourter, Ken hurried to the main building of Billy’s manor. When he saw the towering figure


    standing by the window, his expression became somewhat more respectful. “Master Newman, we’ve


    just got the word. Gilbert Nn has shown up in Eastshire!” he said in a whisper.


    Billy turned his head sharply with an angry scowl on his usually expressionless face, which was rare. “Is


    that true?”


    Ken immediately nodded. “Yes, it is!”


    Billy clenched his fists, but no sooner had he made a step than he suddenly paused. He frowned before


    asking in a grim voice, “Where did you learn that from?”


    Ken was startled for a moment. Then, he replied in a low voice, “One of the spies that we’ve sent out


    found out about it. That being said, this piece of information is quite sudden. Master Newman, could it be


    a trap or something?”


    Billy pondered for a moment. Then, he replied in a solemn voice, “Seems like somebody wants me to


    leave Eastcliff for the time being.”


    Ken’s expression turned grave. “Y-You mean this is a diversion? Master Newman, since that’s the case,


    let’s ignore this piece of information—”


    Billy raised his hand right away to interrupt Ken. “That’s impossible. Since Gilbert’s here, I have to meet


    him in person no matter what. Don’t forget that Brittany’s mother died a tragic death because of him!”


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


    Ken clenched his jaw. Having worked for Billy for years, he was aware of these past events, of course.


    He asked in a whisper, “Master Newman, could this be a trap? A trap that the Nn Family is trying to


    lure you away from Eastcliff?”


    Billy put his hands behind his back with an imperturbable expression. “No, I don’t think it’s a trap. The


    Nn Family can kill me anytime if they want to; they don’t have to go to so much trouble at all. I reckon


    someone probably wants to do something in Eastcliff.”


    Ken immediately stated, “Master Newman, I’ll send someone right away to find out who the person that


    wants to stir up trouble is!”


    Billy waved his hand, though. “No, you don’t have to do that. Just stay here and don’t go out for the next


    few days.”


    Ken was startled. “Master Newman, if you’re away, and if I’m staying here, then… wouldn’t the person


    who’d been ying tricks behind our back have nothing to fear anymore?”


    Billy chuckled. “I guess this trick is aimed at Matthew. It’s time to let him take care of things by himself!”


    That night, Billy left Eastcliff.


    The Ten Greatest Families were shocked when they quickly got word about this. After all, Billy had been


    in Eastcliff for so many years without leaving, so why would he leave all of a sudden today?


    Meanwhile, Matthew also got word about it, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He didn’t know what


    had happened, but if Billy wasn’t in Eastcliff, wouldn’t the Ten Greatest Families be able to do whatever


    they wanted?


    Immediately, he contacted the Lach Family, the Jackson Family, the Lewis Family, and the Telk Family,


    telling them to put their guard up because nobody knew what was going to happen next. He had to be on


    guard 24/7 against the Ten Greatest Families’ surprise attacks!


    Meanwhile, it was 10:00PM at Liam and Demi’s home.


    Ever since the previous incident at Lakeside Garden, James had chased them out of the Grand Pavilion,


    forcing them to move back into their old ce. Inwardly, the couple were deeply resentful, but they could


    do nothing about it. They had said nasty things about Matthew in front of James and Helen several


    times, only to be scolded angrily by James and Helen instead. At the moment, James and Helen didn’t


    trust them anymore.


    Demi was watching TV when her cell phone suddenly rang. As soon as she answered the phone, she


    heard a chilling voice say, “Do you want Matthew dead? Now you have the opportunity!”
