Chapter 1327
Back at Billy's Eastcliff manor.
After defeating all of the masters from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, Billy then brought Matthew back.
On the way, Matthew finally recovered somewhat after resting for a bit.
Matthew, who had eaten some food to replenish his strength, then went to the main hall.
At that moment, Brittany was making tea for Billy as he sat on the sofa.
Upon seeing Matthew come, she got up and greeted him politely before leaving.
Billy, who saw him approaching the table, then waved to Matthew.
"Sit!"
And so, Matthew then sat down next to him.
"Master Newman, I sincerely thank you for what happened."
He was really grateful from the bottom of his heart.
Shaking his head, Billy smiled briefly, "You don't have to thank me.This is the extent of my help.You'll have to brave the unknown from now on by yourself"
Upon hearing his words, Matthew knew that Billy was really going to leave this time.
"Does Britttany know about this?"
Matthew whispered.
Looking at the direction of his daughter, Billy replied softly, "I haven't brought up the past with her yet.She also doesn't know where I'm going, or what I'm going to do there.I don't wish for her to live a life of luxury.I only wish for her to live a safe, happy and trouble-free life."
Matthew understood that Billy did not want Brittany to carry all his hatred.
Hence, she didn't even know why or how her mother died.
Matthew sighed at this.
Billy really loves this daughter of his.But the more he doted on her, the more he wouldn't want to leave, as she was his biggest worry.
And now, Billy left Brittany in Matthew's care, which showed the utmost confidence he had in Matthew.
"Master Newman, I can promise you now—so long as I'm alive, I will never let Miss Newman suffer any injustice!"
Matthew vowed.
Looking up at the ceiling, Billy laughed.
"Alright! I believe the words of a Larson"
This made Matthew look at Billy with a shocked expression.
Does this mean that Billy already knew about my identity? Seeing his shock, Billy laughed lightly.
"You don't have to be that surprised.I already knew about your true identity when you saved my daughter back then.If I didn't help keep your identity a secret, 'm sure people would have already
known it by now"
This shocked Matthew, as he thought that he had already hidden his identity deep enough.
He had failed to foresee that in front of someone truly powerful, finding out such secrets were nothing to them.
"I thank you, Master Newman!"
Matthew bowed.
Waving his hand, Billy replied, "You don't need to thank me.This is just me repaying your father for saving me back then.Tomorrow, I'll be leaving the city.I'm not too worried about the future of Eastcliff.Rather, it's the Six Southern States that you have to be wary of.Remember to be always vigilant against Levi."
This made Matthew surprised.
"Levi?"
"Master Newman, are you talking about the King of the South, Levi Quirk?"
Billy nodded at his words.
As such, Matthew didn't press on and only took the warning to heart.
After all, with the amount of time that Billy had spent in Eastcliff, he must have thoroughly understood what kind of person Levi was.
If Billy wanted Matthew to be wary of someone, of course he had his reasons! After chatting for a while, Matthew then stood up and bid farewell to Billy.
Walking out of the manor, he then saw Tiger waiting outside in the courtyard.
As soon as Matthew got into the car, Tiger immediately announced, "Matthew, all the people from the Six Greatest Families have been rounded up.What are you going to do with them?"
Not answering his question, Matthew countered, "How's the progress on the task that I gave you?"
His words immediately made Tiger's eyes glimmer.
"Oh right—if you hadn't mentioned this, I would've nearly forgotten to tell you about it, Matthew.It turns out that there really was a problem.Take a wild guess—how do you think Johnny and Robert are related?"
