Clearly, they were the Ten Greatest Families’ men.
Matthew locked his brows into a furrow upon the situation.
The five men might look ordinary, but it was already obvious how powerful they were when they were
sent to such a crucial location.
Usually, Matthew wouldn't have feared them.
However, he was already spent after running for days and now that five strong fighters were in his way,
he wasn't confident he could break through their besiege.
With that, he took a tentative step forward.
Sure enough, the five followed.
However, they didn't make a move.
It seemed that they were only there to block his path.
Then, Matthew swept his gaze across the five men before saying gravely, "Guys, Oliver Fisher was
right to die when he had committed so many heinous crimes.Are the Ten Greatest Families going to
help him so blindly!?"
The elder snorted upon hearing his words.
"Matthew Larson, are you begging us to spare your life?"
The other four cackled and looked at Matthew with contempt.
Matthew's expression turned cold at that.
"I don't need your mercy! I just want to know what the Ten Greatest Families’ stance is on everything
Oliver has done!"
"What Oliver did isn't important!"
The elder drawled, "What's important is that you challenged the Ten Greatest Families when you killed
one of ours and for that, you must die!"
"Alright, then."
Matthew nodded.
"In that case, I have nothing more to say, but let's see if you have what it takes to kill me!"
With that, he roared and charged toward the elder.
However, the elder composedly extended his index and middle finger, pointing right at Matthew's
temple.
Matthew's expression changed subtly at that.He knew he would probably be knocked out cold if those
fingers touched him.
With that, he hurriedly evaded the elder and bolted straight ahead.He had only wanted to create an
opportunity to escape the besiege, never intending to fight them head-on anyway.
Seeing that Matthew had escaped, the other four men chased after him.
However, the elder stopped them in time, snorting.
"No rush.Now that he's here, he can forget about ever escaping our traps.Let's have some fun with
him! I'd like to see how this trapped beast will struggle!"
To that, the other four guffawed as though doing so was very interesting.
Meanwhile, Matthew dashed toward Eastcliff after escaping the five men.
However, after running for a while, he realized they didn't come after him.
The situation didn't have him celebrating.
Instead, he went on full alert, as he knew more dangers were lying ahead when the five men chose not
to hunt him down.
They must've been confident that he wouldn't be able to escape whatever was waiting for him.
Then again, he didn't have any other choice at this point and he could only dash toward Eastcliff.
As soon as he entered the perimeters of Eastcliff and Billy's turf, he would be safe.
Sure enough, after running for three miles, three men appeared and charged toward him.
With that, Matthew immediately changed directions and bypassed them, successfully escaping their
interception.
However, the further he ran, the more people tried to stop him.
By the time he was less than ten miles away from Eastcliff, he was once again besieged with no way of
escaping.
Surrounding him were about forty to fifty top fighters from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.
None of them were weak and now that they were all together, Matthew had no way of breaking
through.
The leader was a solemn-looking elder, and he happened to be the Invincible Iron Fist of the Fisher
Family and the third-ranking fighter of Eastshire, Augustus Fisher.
His face turned sub-zero upon seeing Matthew far away, as though he had seen his mortal enemy.
"Matthew Larson, you've killed my nephew and protégé.It's high time you pay the price for it!"
Augustus roared in anger.
