Edmund was stupefied at once.
How could he expect the crown prince to have such a good rapport with Matthew? And besides, the
crown price was eccentric and volatile.
Over so many years, Edmund had never heard of him having a friend, let alone a close buddy.But now,
he was treating Matthew as his sworn brother.
What's going on here? Edmund and Noah looked at each other in confusion, at a loss for what to do.
Having also heard of the crown prince's reputation, Noah dared not even fart in front of the man.
Ambrose, on the other hand, was awestruck.
Little did he expect Matthew to be on such friendly terms with the crown prince, who was Known as the
devil incarnate! Edmund looked embarrassed.
"Come on, quit kidding me, Prince.This brat is but a kept man wha lives off women in Eastcliff.What
right does he have to be friends with you? You must be joking, right?"
However, upon hearing Edmund's words, the crown prince instantly flew into a rage and slapped him
across the face.
"F*ck you! Who the hell do you think you are, to think you're worthy of being on joking terms with me?
Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror?"
Edmund's face turned deathly pale from being slapped.
Clenching his teeth, he uttered, "Y-You better don't go too far, Prince!"
The crown prince kicked him in the stomach.
"So what if I do? Even if I kill you here and now, will your family dare to say a word about that? F*cking
schmuck.Have you forgotten how you knelt before me and begged for mercy in Stonedale back then?
Think that you've become strong enough since we last met several years ago, huh? You've got quite a
nerve, talking back to me like that!" he bellowed.
As he spoke, he furiously rushed at Edmund, wanting to continue beating him up.
Just then, those from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale gathered around them.
An aged man said in a grim voice, "Enough is enough, Prince! Edmund is representing the Ten
Greatest Families of Stonedale this time.Or do you think you can insult us —the Ten Greatest Families
of Stonedale—as you please?"
The crown prince threw back his head with a smirk.
"Wanna intimidate me with the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, you old geezer? Ha! Okay
then.Here's a question for you: can you speak on behalf of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale? If
you can, I'll call my mom right now.As it happens, she's been twiddling her thumbs these days and is
looking for something fun to do! How about I tell her to go to Stonedale and have fun with you guys?"
The aged man's face turned ghastly at his words.
Poison Spider? That's a she-demon who nobody dares to mess with! On top of being formidable on her
own, she's extremely ferocious, and nobody survives whenever she strikes.
And besides, she has Phoenix at her back.
Phoenix is the person Master Levi, the King of the South, esteems the most, so Master Levi would
definitely side with him.
If the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale really goes to war against Poison Spider, even if we can
defeat her, can we defeat Phoenix? After gritting his teeth, the aged man ultimately chose to keep
silent.
It'd be really unwise to mess with Poison Spider for Edmund's sake! Seeing that the aged man didn't
say a word, the others instantly fell silent.
At the sight of the scene, Edmund panicked at once.
After all, without the backing of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, he was practically nothing.
And with the crown prince's temperament, it would be perfectly normal for him to kill Edmund then and
there!
"P-Prince, I-l was joking with you just now! Please don't get mad.I-l was just talking nonsense.It was my
fault for being ignorant and offending your friend.P-Please be the bigger person and d-don't be angry
with me..." he implored in a trembling voice, feeling absolutely terrified.
After all, he and the bunch of rich dandies in Stonedale had suffered a lot at the hands of the crown
prince! The crown prince spat.
"F*ck, you're simply pathetic, aren't you? You're just itching for a good beating from me! You don't
wanna die? Alright, then.Come on and apologize to my buddy.As long as he forgives you, I'll spare your
life!"
