Matthew had been recuperating in Granville for just one day when the Damron Family found him. Mark personally led his men to the Rathbone Estate and trapped Matthew, who was still bedridden inside his room.
Although the prominent families in Granville wanted to stop them, they were nothing compared to the Damrons. Therefore, Mark brought his men directly toward Matthew's room but was blocked by Salazar at the door.
"What do you think you're doing, Damron? You promised Melvin that you would give Dr. Larson a week. It's only been three days, and you're here looking for him. What's the meaning of this? Does Old Master Damron not keep his words?" Salazar retorted.
However, Mark smiled and did not respond, but Aurelius beside him came forward and demanded, "Of course, the Damrons keep their word, but if someone breaks their promise, what's the point of us playing nice?"
Salazar asked coldly, "What did you say?"
Aurelius rebuked, "What's the matter? Did I say anything wrong? My father is benevolent enough to give him one week to prove he's innocent, but what did he do? He used that time to escape from us. How does that count as keeping his promise? How can we let such a shameless b*stard run free? Since he's the one who broke the promise, we have no choice but to bring him back so that he can give us an explanation!"
Hearing that, Salazar was furious. "Aurelius, what are you talking about? Who tried to run away? We chased Lord Voodoo and Macon to Stonedale, and Dr. Larson fell into the enemy's trap and suffered serious injuries while catching Falconn's murderer. How can you guys twist the fact?"
Aurelius smirked. "You said you went to catch the murderer, so where is he?"
Salazar replied, "We've already sent Gregory's corpse back to you, and we almost caught Lord Voodoo and Macon."
Salazar stared at Mark with cold eyes. "Since you and my father are acquaintances, you should know that the Whitfords will only die in battle but never surrender!"
Nodding slowly, Mark complimented. "You are a person with integrity! Unfortunately, having integrity does not imply intelligence. Only fools would insist on fighting a losing battle. It seems justifiable that the Whitford Family declined to where they are today."
After saying that, Mark removed his coat and handed it to the person beside him. "Since you insist on sacrificing your life, why don't I give you a hand? If you don't move away, my only choice is to make Whitford Wing Chun boxing vanish from this world!"
Drawing a deep breath, Salazar lowered his stance and prepared to face Mark's attack. He calmly urged, "I, Salazar Whitford, a practitioner of Wing Chun boxing, accept your challenge!"
