Melvin sat next to Matthew inside Matthew's mansion in Lakeside Garden, and he couldn't help but frown after listening to the latter's encounter with Levi.
"Master Newman told me to keep an eye out for Levi before he left Eastcliff," said Matthew as he looked at Melvin. "I'll be honest with you—I don't really trust this guy!"
Matthew had only told Melvin all this because he trusted the latter wholly after everything they had been through.
Melvin nodded leisurely. "I've never had much contact with Levi before, but my late mentor mentioned him in the past, saying he was most certainly a hero of his generation. He was capable, tactful, and most importantly, scheming. Nobody can guess just what in the world he's thinking, nor would anyone know what sort of agenda he has. My late mentor told me this once—if possible, never get yourself involved with Levi Quirk."
At that, Matthew glanced at Melvin, surprised that Melvin's mentor would have such opinions of Levi.
"Who is your mentor? Is he familiar with Levi?"
"My mentor?" Melvin snorted wryly. "He's just a blind old fortune teller. When I met him, he was just a wandering fortune-telling conman who would talk big whenever he got drunk. He claimed to be acquainted with many big shots back in the day, but who knew if he was actually telling the truth at all? Then again, it was later verified that many incidents he said about those people were true."
Matthew couldn't help feeling shocked after hearing Melvin's words. "I take that your mentor was also a prophet, then?"
"Prophet, my a*s." Melvin quirked his lips. "I had to wrap him up in a shabby old shroud and dig a random pit to bury him in after he died. If all prophets are like him, then I'd rather be a laity!"
Matthew shook his head in response, knowing full well that he still wasn't powerful enough and definitely wouldn't be able to keep Brittany out of harm's way.
"What are you trying to say, then?" he asked, making Melvin smile. "I'll put it this way—without you, Brittany wouldn't be in any danger either. As long as she doesn't do anything out of bounds, no one would ever dare cause her trouble! Also, the last time Macon entered Eastcliff, Levi even warned Macon to stay away from Billy's manor. But honestly, that was entirely unnecessary!"
"Why is that so?" Matthew asked in surprise.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?" Melvin said. "Brittany's mother is a young lady of the Nolan Family, and her maternal grandfather is still one of the elders of the Nolan Family. Her maternal uncle is Gabriel, the King of Stagfort, and her maternal aunt is the Princess of Bainbridge, Gianna Nolan. Whoever in Cathay dares lay a finger on Brittany will no longer exist in this world the next day!"
