Chapter 1181


    Chapter 1181 Poison Spider’s Younger Brother


    “What do you mean?” Matthew asked.


    “Poison Spider and the King of the South are merely working together,” Connor said in a low tone. “In


    reality, she’s the older sister of the King of the South’s general, Phoenix! And this Phoenix is a terrifying


    man! There’s a saying about two powerful figures, one in the north and one in the south. Phoenix of the


    South. That very Phoenix they’re talking about is him!”


    Wilson nodded as well. “Once you disregard talented people from those elite families who prefer to stay


    in the shadows, those two are the most excellent people among Cathay’s youth,” he said in a low tone.


    “Even Master Newman himself had said before that Phoenix will be able to rule this territory in less than


    ten years with his potential. In less than twenty years, he will be king! The King of the South is training


    Phoenix to be his heir! Matthew, he… absolutely will not stop in his journey for revenge now that you’ve


    captured his older sister. If Phoenixes for you, not even Master Newman will be able to save you


    despite his seniority!”


    Matthew frowned. He truly hadn’t imagined that Poison Spider would have such a backstory. It seemed


    that this maniptor behind the scenes had thrown him a formidable adversary. However, he had no


    choice either now that things hade to this. If he let Poison Spider go, she would continue to fight


    against him. The only choice he had was to keep her captured. If he could find the crown prince, this


    situation would be able to be resolved perfectly.


    He looked at the four family heads. “I know what you’re worried about,” he said solemnly. “However, this


    is between me and Phoenix. You’re not tied to this situation. All you need to do now is to continue your


    preparations ording to my earlier instructions. You don’t have to pay attention to this matter!”


    The four of them exchanged looks with each other.


    “Mr. Larson, we aren’t afraid of trouble,” Wilson said in a low voice. “I simply think that there is no need to


    antagonize someone like Phoenix!”


    Matthew waved a hand. “I already have my mind made up about this matter. That will be all!”


    Once he returned to Lakeside Garden, Matthew immediately called Tiger up, dispatching Tiger and his


    team to expend all resources to search for the crown prince. Only by finding the crown prince would this


    matter be resolved. At the same time, he also requested Tiger to help him dig up information on Phoenix.


    He had to have a good grasp on how Phoenix did things.


    Matthew did not allow Sasha and the others to leave the house the entire day. With Billy Newman gone,


    Eastcliff had descended into chaos. Even the crown prince had been kidnapped. No one knew what else


    the mastermind would do.


    Currently, Lakeside Garden was the only ce that was peaceful, because it was an area that Billy had


    forbidden others from stepping foot in. Invading Lakeside Garden would be equivalent to dering war


    on Billy.

    At five that afternoon, Matthew suddenly received a call from an unknown number, inviting him to meet at


    the vi by The Grand Garden. James and Helen usually lived there, but they had been staying at


    Lakeside Garden thest two days.


    Who else could be requesting him to meet them at The Grand Garden at this time?


    Matthew had his doubts, but he still followed the appointed time and rushed to The Grand Garden before


    nightfall.


    When he entered the vi, the lights were dimmed. Someone sat on the couch with their back to the


    light. Matthew couldn’t see who they were clearly, but they weren’t short. The person had a cigarette in


    their mouth, the ember of which disappeared and reappeared in the dimness of the room.


    “You’re Matthew Larson?” The person spoke atst. He got up from the couch.


    “Who are you?” Matthew asked in a low voice. His entire body was tense from wariness. For some


    reason, he felt this indescribable sense of danger now that he was standing close to this mysterious


    person.


    “No need to worry. I came here today just to have a talk with you.”


    The man came forward, and the light finally illuminated his face. At first nce, he appeared to be a


    normal man. The most striking thing about him, though, were his bright eyes.


    “I am Elio Warde!” The man picked up the box of cigarettes on the table and handed a cigarette to


    Matthew.


    Matthew waved a hand in refusal. Hebed through his memories carefully, but he didn’t remember


    anyone by the name of Elio Warde.


    “You know me?”


    Elio continued to light his own cigarette. “We don’t, actually. But, you captured my sister.”
