Chapter 1267


    Everyone was surprised at Matthew''s sudden blow- up.


    Ss turned slightly pale at Matthew''s words.


    With a cating smile, he said with embarrassment, "Mr.Larson, I-I''m not lying, really..."


    The crown prince also asked in puzzlement, "Matty, could you have gotten something wrong?"


    Matthew shook his head.


    "I''ve been curious since the beginning.If they really just wanted to deal with the guardian beast, all they


    had to do was hire some expert fighters at a premium.Why would they hire people from so many


    distinguished families and powerful forces? After all, a much greater reward is needed to hire these


    people.These herb growers arent dumb, so why are they willing to pay such a price? Now that I''ve


    seen those men just now, I''ve finally figured it out.Their main purpose in getting us here is to take


    advantage of our influence to deal with those on the mountain!"


    Upon hearing Matthew''s words, everyone turned pale and looked at the herb growers simultaneously.


    Ss turned as white as a sheet, and his body began trembling slightly.


    Undoubtedly, Matthew was right! The crown prince was the first to be furious.


    "F*ck! Turns out you bunch of *ssholes are fooling us, huh? Damn it, I''m gonna kill you all first!"


    Frightened by the crown prince''s words, the herb growers trembled like a leaf.

    Just then, Matthew stopped the crown prince and said coldly, "What''s the point of killing them? Let me


    ask you this, Ss: just who the person on the mountain is?"


    With a sigh of helplessness, Ss exined in a low voice, "I-I''m not so certain about that, actually.I


    just heard that the bigwig on the mountain seems to be from Bainbridge, and he''s said to be somewhat


    rted to the Nn Family of Bainbridge’ Upon hearing this, everyone around Ss changed color at


    once.The Nn Family of Bainbridge was the number-one distinguished family in Cathay.


    If the Nns really were involved, there was no way they were going to get mixed up in this! Matthew''s


    expression changed as well; he suddenly recalled the previous incident about Gilbert.


    Could this be the reason Gilbert came to the South? Seeing that everyone was silent, Ss quickly


    said, "But, everyone, our ancestors were indeed the ones who discovered the medicinal herbs on the


    mountain first.They built a vige here and kept watch for hundreds of years to wait for these herbs to


    ripen.But now, these people came all of a sudden to take these herbs away.A-Aren''t they just being


    bullies? Please help us, everyone.After all, these herbs belong to the South.H-How could we let some


    outsiders take them away as they please?"


    Those from Stonedale and Eastshire remained silent while weighing the risks and benefits.


    Just then, however, Matthew said right away, "You''re right! Naturally, we can''t let outsiders take away


    things that belong to the South!"


    The crown prince let out augh.


    "Haha! You''re such a badass, Matty.Let''s go! I''ll go with you.The Nns, huh? Ha! I''d like to meet


    them!"


    With that, he followed Matthew closely.


    At the sight of the scene, those from Stonedale and Eastshire immediately followed them.


    With the crown prince being present, they''d have the backing of the King of the South! Everyone


    quickly climbed the mountain.


    After a little over half an hour, they reached a tform below the top of the mountain.


    By the time they got here, everyone had been sweating profusely.


    The closer they got to the tform, the hotter it was.


    At this moment, a bunch of people were standing at the corner of the tform, blocking the only path


    up the mountain.


    They were led by a young man who dressed like a dandy with his hair slicked back.


    With a trace of evil in his eyes, the man didn''t seem like a decent person.


    When the crown prince saw the young man, his lips twitched at once, as though he had seen his sworn


    enemy.


    "Why is this son of a b*tch here?" he muttered.


    Matthew asked curiously, "Who is he?"


    The crown prince answered, "He''s Perry Lyndon, a distant nephew of Master Levi''s wife.Somehow, he


    got acquainted with Master Levi and has been swaggering around in Galvania since then.He and I


    have always been at odds, though."


    Matthew knitted his brows.


    Now that they hade across Levi''s nephew, things were going to get troublesome.
