Chapter 1147 It’s Too Late to Apologize Now
Old Master Leigh uttered between clenched teeth in a grim voice, “Matthew, the Leigh Family will accept what has happened today. Listen carefully, though: we, the Leigh Family, are one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. Even if you want to do whatever you want on our turf, you’ve got to ask the other nine families for permission first!”
Matthew replied coldly, “Mr. Leigh, do you have amnesia or something? The other nine families have objected to you guys seeking revenge on me at the time. The present scenario is only happening because you and your family insisted that I pay blood for blood. Speaking of it, this is just a personal score between the Leigh Family and me. It’s got nothing to do with the other nine families, isn’t it?”
Old Master Leigh’s face was deathly pale. Matthew was right; the other nine families didn’t side with the Leigh Family at the time, but the Leigh Family had obstinately insisted on seeking revenge. In that case, it’d really be inappropriate for the other nine families to horn in on this matter. “W-What the hell do you want?” he asked in a trembling voice.
Matthew sneered. “Ever since I came in, you’ve been saying that I’m not going to leave the Leigh Residence. To put it bluntly, you guys have always wanted me dead. Since that’s the case, it’s not supposed to be a problem for me to take your lives, right?”
Everyone in the Leigh Family turned pale at Matthew’s words. Is he gonna slaughter all of us in the Leigh Residence?!
A look of mortification spread across Old Master Leigh’s face as he looked at Tiger and the others nearby. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Larson, what happened this time is the Leigh Family’s fault. I’d like to apologize to you on the Leigh Family’s behalf. Does this work for you?”
Matthew darted a look at him. “If you hadn’t hired Somy, these matters would still have been open to negotiation. But now that you’ve clearly hired him to kill me, it’s already meaningless to apologize at this point!”
Old Master Leigh was overwhelmed with regret. He had hired Somy with the intention of seizing the opportunity to kill Matthew, but who would’ve thought that he would end up shooting himself in the foot instead?
Suddenly, Matthew said, “However, I can spare your lives!”
Old Master Leigh couldn’t help shuddering all over. He promptly asked, “Mr. Larson, w-what would you like me to do?”
Matthew smiled before darting a look at the surrounding crowd.
Understanding what he meant, Old Master Leigh immediately dismissed all the other members of the Leigh Family with a wave of his hand.
Meanwhile, Matthew also asked Tiger and the others to leave, leaving only him and Old Master Leigh in the room.
Matthew said in a whisper, “I don’t really bear a deep grudge against the Leigh Family, so I may not have to kill anyone at the Leigh Residence. I’m going to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them truthfully, then what happened between us can be written off!”
Old Master Leigh immediately replied, “Please go ahead, Mr. Larson.”
Staring at the old man, Matthew suddenly asked, “What’s your relationship with the voodoo clan in Orleans?”
Old Master Leigh was startled for a moment. “W-What voodoo clan? I don’t know anyone from the voodoo clan.”
Matthew fixed his eyes on Old Master Leigh while the latter was speaking, but the latter’s expression betrayed nothing wrong. He looked genuinely confused, which meant that he wasn’t lying. In other words, Old Master Leigh had nothing to do with the voodoo clan in Orleans. This proved that Matthew’s previous conjecture was right. The Leigh Family was really not the third family that worked with the voodoo clan. They were merely cannon fodder; the ones who actually worked with the voodoo clan were probably somebody else. He asked in a grave voice, “In that case, why would you guys force the Telk Family to hand over the Renaissance Mall’s shares this time?”
Old Master Leigh couldn’t help but sigh. “In fact, Mr. Larson, this matter is my unfilial son’s fault. This time, he did it right away without discussing it with me beforehand. I didn’t know about this matter until much later, but by the time I learned about it, it had already happened; it was too late for me to stop him, even if I wanted to. Sigh, that unfilial son of mine never listens to me, and he’s created so much trouble. I-I really regret having let him be the head of the Leigh Family!”
Upon hearing Old Master Leigh’s explanation, Matthew hit upon an idea. Could it be that there really is something wrong with Johnny?
