The Cunninghams’ Ascent
Ignoring everyone, Matthew paced to Sasha, who was still sobbing, and pulled her into his arms.
Hugging him, Sasha couldn’t hold back anymore and started crying loudly.
“Silly, don’t cry anymore. I’m fine!” Matthew whispered.
Despite that, she cried even harder, clutching him so tightly that it was as if he would disappear if she
released her grip.
Standing next to them, James and Helen were so excited that their faces were flushing.
“Matthew, y-you’re alright? This is amazing! Simply amazing!” Helen said in a shaky voice, speaking with
concern from the bottom of her heart.
James nodded non-stop. “It’s good to see you back. This is amazing! Matthew, let’s not cause any more
trouble. We’ll give them Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to avoid offending the Ten Greatest Families. As
long as our family is safe and sound, all this materialistic stuff doesn’t matter!”
Astonished, Matthew didn’t imagine that such words would come out of James, who had always been
greedy. Seems like he has really changed a lot during this period, he thought and smiled softly. “Dad,
don’t worry! Nobody can take away what belongs to us. Tonight, we should end this with the Ten
Greatest Families, and it’s also the time for us, the Cunninghams, to ascend to the top of Eastcliff!”
After that, he told the three of them to go inside because the scene afterward would be brutal and
inappropriate for them to watch.
A little more than ten minutes later, a few cars stopped outside, and the people who arrived were
masters of the Jackson, Lach, Lewis and Telk Family—Connor, Wilson, Felix, and Aloysius. In addition,
there was also the old master of the Telk Family, Philip.
These four families were in cooperation with Matthew, so they arrived the earliest.
Soon, two more families arrived, and both of the masters of the family appeared to be terrified. Upon
arrival, they immediately rushed to Mattthew and bowed deeply. “Mr. Larson, we’re here to apologize to
you. We were bewitched by the Sandels and the Leighs’ charm and made you our enemy, but we’ve
realized our mistakes now. Please give us a chance; we won’t ever do something like this again!”
These people were no fools, and they already knew what happened this evening; Jinny was now the
Supreme Charm Master and had become the highest leader in Orleans—even Lord Voodoo had fled
after suffering a heavy defeat, so the situation was now carved in stone.
The passionate kiss which Jinny gave Matthew was proof of her loyalty. Phoenix was now Matthew’s
friend, and even Poison Spider was standing on Matthew’s side. Right now, Matthew totally had the
upper hand, and even if the Ten Greatest Families were capable, they were definitely not his match!
Hence, the only choice they had now was to ask for forgiveness.
Without even so much as glancing at them, Matthew waved his hand. “Go and stand over there.”
Both masters of the families didn’t even utter a word and staggered to the side, standing in a corner
obediently. After that, two more masters of the family came, and even though they seemed unwilling,
they still apologized to Matthew.
Just as before, Matthew told them to stand at the side.
Feeling unjustified, Arthur, the master of the Gibson Family, shouted angrily at Matthew, “Matthew, don’t
get ahead of yourself. We’re the masters of the Ten Greatest Families after all, and we came here after
one word from you to apologize to you, but what’s up with this attitude of yours? Do you really think that
we’re such pushovers—”
Before he could finish speaking, Tiger came from behind, grabbed him by his neck, and pushed him to
the ground. At the same time, he held a dagger in his other hand and sliced off one of his ears.
A cry of pain came from Arthur, and the men he brought along wanted to rush in immediately, but Tiger’s
men were ahead of them and struck down all of them on the spot mercilessly!
