Chapter 1051 An Eye for an Eye
At the Lewis Residence, all the main members of the Ten Greatest Families were basically there. This included their respective old masters and current family heads.
The status of attendees reflected how serious this incident was to Eastcliff. As the temporal representative of the Lewis Family, Franklin greeted the guests personally. After they were all seated in the courtyard, he then proceeded to recount and embellish last night’s events.
However, the Ten Great Families already knew the event he told them about.
Since the last family head of the Whites, Declan, got dealt with, most of their members also got caught in the aftermath. So now, there were a lot of new faces in their ranks. As a result, the White’s reach was reduced a lot by this change of power.
Their family now was only a shadow of their former self, as they were reduced to being at the bottom rank of the Ten Greatest Families.
Sighing, Franklin replied, “Just saying his name makes me mad. I wanted to bring that b*stard here, but Billy was protecting him. Last night, Stanley’s cousin, the one who’s called the South Street’s Tiger or whatever, brought thugs and beat countless of our family members up! We… were so incompetent that we couldn’t even catch the person who murdered our head! I have thoroughly shamed my ancestors!”
Saying this, Franklin started to wipe his crocodile tears. His pitiful condition angered those on relatively good terms with the Lewis Family.
“How insolent! He is just intentionally provoking the Ten Greatest Families by killing one of our heads!”
“Tell me about it! If he had the means to kill the head of the Lewis Family, that means he could strike at any one of the other heads tomorrow! We should stay on high alert!”
With a calm expression, Matthew glanced at him. “What? Do you still want revenge for Declan? A word of advice for you, keep a low profile for now. If any more misfortune really befalls the remaining members of your family, then the Whites would truly be left without an heir!”
The head of the White Family’s expression soured almost instantly. Without an heir?! This is just too insulting.
Just then, the head of the Sandels, Robert, broke his silence. “You impudent brat! I know that you and Billy are very close! But nothing in this world can escape karma. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! Not only did you not repent after killing the head of the Lewis Family, but you’re also even acting so arrogant now just because you have Billy’s backing! You really think none of us can go up against you, do you?”
As the Sandel Family was the de facto leader of the Ten Greatest Families, Robert’s words made the other families all band together in agreement.
Half the people present were staring daggers at Matthew, as if they were mortal enemies.
