Chapter 395
Travis’ subordinates that were standing beside him quickly rushed over and surrounded Matthew. Meanwhile, Travis grabbed Crystal by the neck and lifted her up, holding a dagger to her neck. “Larson, I can’t believe that you came. Is it really worth risking your life to save a vain and fickle woman like her?”
Matthew slowly walked to the center of the room and raised his voice, “As a matter of fact, I don’t know Miss Harrison very well. The reason I came is because Mr. Harrison has helped me a lot, which is why his problems are my problems!
Travis Hughes, let’s stop with this nonsense. Since I’m already here, let Mr. and Miss Harrison go now, and we’ll settle the matter between us.”
Travis burst into laughter. “Matthew, do you really think you can bargain with me at a time like this?” To which Matthew replied, “Travis, do you really think that your people can kill me?”
Travis retorted, “Oh, Larson, you think too highly of yourself! Do you know who these people are? Let me get this straight. They are martial art masters and are personally trained by the Hughes. All of them are experts at fighting! Oh, and I know that you can fight, but compared to them, you’re nothing!”
Matthew chuckled. “I’m not planning to fight them. Travis, you better think wisely. I might not be a match for them, but if I wanted to run, they may not be able to stop me! Moreover, do you know how many people are outside right now?
If Mr. Newman finds out that you went against your word and didn’t set Mr. and Miss Harrison free, do you think he’ll have the patience to wait any longer? This is Eastcliff. No matter how strong these people around you are, are you a match for Mr. Newman?”
Travis was startled. He mulled over his options before he gritted his teeth and said, “Matthew, I’ll let them go if you want me to. However, I have to tie you up first! Otherwise, if you run after I set them free, I’ll be left with nothing.”
Hearing this, Joseph started to panic and he said anxiously, “Mr. Larson, d-don’t listen to him. Travis wants to take your life. If you are tied up, you’ll definitely die. I’m old and I won’t have many years left ahead of me. As for Crystal… She brought this upon herself. Don’t risk it for our sakes… Leave us, Mr. Larson. Let Mr. Newman come save us!”
Upon hearing that, Crystal was terrified. Even though her reputation was ruined, she didn’t want to die. She trembled as she looked at Matthew and started to wonder whether this man would choose to save her. As expected of him, Matthew didn’t hesitate and nodded in agreement.
“No problem! You can tie me up first before letting them go. Travis, I hope that you will keep your promise; Mr. Newman is watching. If you tie me up but don’t set them free, he will rush in immediately.”
Travis gritted his teeth and signaled to his men. They surrounded Matthew and pulled out the cowhide rope that they had prepared beforehand, tying him up firmly. During the whole process, Matthew didn’t struggle nor resist.
Seeing this, Joseph couldn’t help but cry out, “Mr. Larson, d-don’t listen to him… Hurry up and leave while you still can! It’s not worth it to risk your life to save us!
Mr. Larson, your life is more important than ours. You must not take risks for us…I’m sorry, Mr. Larson. I shouldn’t have called you…”
Crystal was also dumbfounded. She never thought that the man whom she regarded as savage and vulgar, not to mention ungentlemanly, would be so responsible!
It made her think about the so-called gentlemen that she knew and she realized none of them could compare to Matthew.
Matthew is a real man!
