Matthew closed the door before he secretly tossed an energy pill into his mouth.He had been preparing
for this fight for a long time.
As he had reached the peak of stage four of Divine Skill, it was sufficient for him to defeat Hunter in a
one-on-one fight.
Now that he had consumed the energy pill that would increase his strength by a few folds, he was
confident to face the thirteen gold- rated assassins.
When the thirteen assassins entered the room, each of them immediately occupied positions that they
found most favorable to them.
As assassins, they were proficient in performing sneak attacks.
To them, having thirteen assassins to kill a single person in a confined space would be as simple as
crushing an ant! It was practically an effortless task.
Matthew turned to face them.His gaze swept across the thirteen men before he growled and pounced
at them.
Outside the room, all everyone could hear was the sound of the fight in the room.
The ten heads of families rubbed their hands together excitedly.
After all, in their eyes, it would be exceptionally easy for thirteen gold-rated assassins to kill Matthew.
During the last time the Ten Greatest Families had attempted to hunt Matthew down, they had had a
clear picture about his ability.
Of course, little did they know that Matthew had again consumed a Godly Emergence Pill and his
strength had improved tremendously.
Plus, he had an energy pill that could temporarily increase his strength by a few folds.
On the other hand, Prince and his men were extremely nervous.He secretly took a few steps back and
whispered, "D*mn it! If things don't sound right, we will barge into the room!"
An elderly man anxiously disagreed.
"Prince, that's against the rule...It's a proper fight, but if we step in—"
However, Prince glared at him.
"Shut up! I don't f*cking care whether it's against the rule! That's my best friend inside there.If he
doesn't leave the room alive, I'll destroy the Ten Great Families of Eastshire!"
The heads of the families overheard his declaration from one side, but none of them dared to say
anything.
In fact, there was nothing they could do since Prince's power and influence was known by all.
Besides, who had the courage to mess with the overwhelmingly powerful Poison Spider? Nonetheless,
Philip furtively shot a glance at the people beside him.
If Prince decided to take action by force, the Ten Greatest Families would stop him at all costs.
They would attain their ultimate goal that night as long as they managed to kill Matthew! Ten minutes
later, the sound of the fight in the room finally stopped.
Everyone stared unblinkingly at the door with wide eyes; Prince, who was even more nervous, was
prepared to push the door open.
Just then, the door was slowly opened from inside, revealing a man who stood at the door covered in
blood.
His face was pale and his eyes were filled with horror.
Philip was elated to see that man, because he was one of the assassins that they had hired.
He's still! alive; does it mean that Matthew's dead? he thought.
Nevertheless, at that moment, another man, who was also drenched in blood, appeared from behind
the first man.
Holding a dagger in his hand, the second man slit the throat of the assassin and threw the assassin
back into the room.
The second man then exited the room and wiped the blood stain off his face, exposing his face—it was
none other than Matthew! Matthew tossed the dagger in his hand to one side and chuckled.
"My apologies.It was a close call"
Upon seeing this, Prince was stunned for a moment before he leapt into the air in excitement.
"Well done! Matthew, you never let me down! Ha! Old men, what do you have to say now?"
The ten heads of families were dumbfounded; Philip couldn't believe his eyes and even went into the
room to check it out.
The room was covered in blood, with about a dozen bodies lying around the floor in all corners.
After a careful count, he came to the conclusion that there were indeed thirteen corpses on the floor.
None of all thirteen gold- rated assassins were spared; all of them had been killed by Matthew!
Everyone was taken aback by that sight, and even the men brought over by Prince looked at Matthew
in astonishment.
Nobody could have imagined that a young man like him actually had such terrifying power.
He had managed to single-handedly defeat thirteen gold-rated assassins, whereby three of them had
strength comparable to that of Hunter.
They had doubted that anyone would manage to pull this off other than Phoenix, and one had to bear
in mind that Matthew was way younger than her.
