Matthew's heart skipped a beat.
But I'm under a disguise! Where am I supposed to get you an ID?! However, he didn't panic, still acting
all innocent as he told them he didn't have it with him.
Matthew thought he could throw them off the scent, but who would have thought that they demanded
he go home and retrieve it.Left with no choice, Matthew turned and left.It was clear to him now.
The Ten Greatest Families figured he would leave Eastshire under a disguise, so they began checking
strictly all over the city.
Alas, what could he do except ride his motorcycle to the woods and leave through mountain roads?
However, as the mountain roads were rough, his motorcycle gave in after running a few miles, leaving
Matthew with no choice but to abandon it and traverse through the woods on foot.
At last, after one whole day of walking, he was finally out of Eastshire's borders.
With that, he went to a nearby town and took a break before getting a car to head to Eastcliff.
However, before he could drive far, a few cars were already on his tail.
One even overtook him and forced him to hit the brakes.Then, about a dozen men got out of the other
cars to surround Matthew, shouting for him to come out.
Matthew was stumped.
How in the world did the Ten Greatest Families’ men find him? The leader, a butterball, first sized
Matthew up before pulling a photo out to compare Matthew's appearance with it.
Matthew's expression changed upon seeing the photo—it was of him after his disguise! Judging from
the photo, he was certain it was taken when those people stopped him at the border of the small town.
It also meant that the Ten Greatest Families’ men took photos of everyone they checked, and people
like him who couldn't provide an ID would be ‘prioritized’.
Undoubtedly, he had been targeted because he bypassed the Ten Greatest Families’ line of defense
and showed up in a different town suddenly.
The revelation shook him.It was now he finally realized how ‘great’ these great families were.
The control the Ten Greatest Families had over the whole of Eastshire had already reached a
terrorizing degree.
In that case, it'd be challenging for him to try and escape their hunt.
After comparing Matthew's face to the one in the photo a few times, the leading butterball started
questioning him, even requesting his ID.
Matthew knew the fellow wouldn't believe him if he continued to say he didn't have it with him.
With that, he immediately attacked the pursuers around him with silver needles, then jumped into the
car right at the very front and sped away.
When the pursuers finally registered what was going on, they roared as they chased after Matthew,
calling the Ten Greatest Families in the meantime.
Matthew, on the other hand, planned to speed to the highway, but before he could even enter, a few
cars had already surrounded him.
Then, more than 20 men exited the vehicles.
This time, their leader was a burly man.
He pointed at Matthew and barked, "You cunning b*stard! You're under a disguise, right? Hmph! Do
you actually think you can escape? I'll have you know that if we want to hunt you down, you won't be
able to run away even if you turn into a fly!"
Now that it had come to this, Matthew decided to just reveal the truth.
With that, he ripped the mustache off his face and took off his hat, then stared coldly at the burly man.
"You work for the Fishers?" he asked.
"No!"
The burly man shook his head in response.
"I pledge my loyalty to the Winter Family of the Ten Greatest Families!"
"Winter Family?"
Matthew asked coldly, "This has nothing to do with you guys, so why complicit for the Fisher Family?"
The burly man snorted upon hearing his question.
"You must be an idiot, Larson! We, the Ten Greatest Families, are one.The Fishers’ business is the Ten
Greatest Families’ business! You declared a battle against the Ten Greatest Families when you killed a
young master of the Fisher Family.As a part of the Ten Greatest Families, there is no way the Winter
Family will spare your life!"
