Chapter 1269


    Everyone knew that Billy was by no means inferior to Levi.


    After all, the former had oncee close to gobbling up the Six Southern States and bing its


    ruler, only that heter chose to retire to Eastcliff instead of doing so.


    Still, no one in the Six Southern States dared to underestimate him, and even Levi had to show him


    enough respect.


    On the other hand, this guy was only one of Perry''sckeys, so he was but a nobody in front of Billy.


    Taking a few deep breaths, he said in a trembling voice, "P-Prince, d-don''t you dare try to scare me...


    How could a bigwig like Billy Newman be acquainted with such a young man? You—"


    The crown prince sneered.


    "If you don''t believe me, just ask those from Eastshire about it."


    The man turned to look at those from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, who lowered their heads


    in tacit acknowledgment without saying a word.


    All at once, the man''s already pale face turned even paler.


    After gulping a few mouthfuls of saliva, he said in a trembling voice, "B-But I didn''t know these things!


    As the saying goes, ignorance can be forgiven—"


    Matthew replied coldly, "Yeah, it''s true that ignorance can be forgiven, but now that you''ve learned


    about it, don''t you need to apologize?"


    The man turned crimson at once.


    In the end, he lowered his head, mumbling, "I''m sorry..."


    Matthew pped the man across the face.


    "Is this how you''re apologizing to Billy?"


    The p made the man see stars, but he dared not fight back.


    Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "I''m sorry! I was wrong!"


    Matthew then said with a wave of his hand, "Now that you know you were wrong, what are you waiting


    for? F*ck off!"


    The man hastily backed away.


    Perry, on the other hand, had a look of despair on his face.He said in a trembling voice, "Y-You better


    let go of me...I''m Master Levi''s nephew.If you dare kill me, my uncle will never let you off...


    Matthew sneered.


    "Don''t worry.Since you''re Master Levi''s nephew, of course I have to show him some respect! I don''t


    necessarily have to kill you, right? I''ll just break your arm or your leg at most," he said while squeezing


    Perry''s broken arm.


    Perry''s face twisted into a grimace of pain.


    Atst, he was scared.


    Although he had Levi backing him up, Matthew had Billy at his back, so he wasn''t scared of him at all!


    "W-What do you want? I''ve done nothing to you!" he said anxiously.


    Matthew replied, "Well, it''s true that I''ve got nothing against you, but the crown prince is my friend.By


    insulting my friend, you''re insulting me! If you don''t want to have an arm or a leg broken, then behave


    yourself and apologize to him, and I''ll spare you! Otherwise, I''ll have no choice but to break your leg to


    help my buddy vent his anger.What do you think?"


    Perry''s face was livid with resentment.


    In the end, however, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize to the crown prince.


    Having vented his grievances, the crown prince said with a guffaw, "Well done, Matty!"


    Matthew let out a chuckle.


    The crown prince had helped him so much, so there was no way he would sit by and do nothing about


    the former''s predicament, of course.


    Having dealt with Perry and his men, Matthew and the others went straight up the mountain.


    Upon reaching the top of the mountain, Matthew found that there were already several dozens of


    people here.


    Standing at their center was a tall and slender young woman who was wearing a pair of sunsses.


    With fair skin and an outstanding poise, she oozed grace and ss through every pore.


    Hearing themotion behind her, she looked back with a slight frown between her beautiful


    eyebrows.


    A young man next to her walked toward Matthew and his men.


    Glowering at them, he said, "How did you guys get here? Where''s Perry?"


    Another young man chimed in with a curl of his lips, "That''s obvious.Perry—that idiot—must have taken


    the wrong path.There are two paths leading up here.Could he have gone to guard the path on the west


    side?"

    The first young man spat.


    "That schmuck couldn''t even get such a petty job done.What''s the use of having him?"


    Upon hearing their words, those from Stonedale and Eastshire were taken aback.


    Who on earth were these people, and what entitled them to be so disdainful of Perry? After all, Perry


    was the nephew of Levi, the King of the South!
