In the president's office of the Martial League, Matthew was reviewing and examining the recent documents.
Knock, knock, knock!
The door to the office was knocked upon.
Matthew kept his attention on the documents in his hands as he called out, "Come in."
Two disciples from Basha's Sacred Mount pushed open the office door and entered. The leading disciple looked at Matthew, his tone carrying a hint of excitement as he spoke, "Reporting, Mr. Larson, the Morley Family in Hulwin has recently been making waves as a rising power."
"The woman named Ginny Kroon was targeted by Raphael Morley, the young sir of the Morley Family, who conspired with a group of underground forces on the outskirts of the city to harm her."
"Morley Family…" Matthew murmured as he looked at the documents handed over by the disciples, contemplating for a moment before making a decision. "Gather the men and surround Morley Manor; no one is to escape today."
The two disciples from Basha's Sacred Mount nodded in acknowledgment and turned to assemble the men.
Matthew then separated and marked the documents on the desk, ensuring everything was in order, before standing up from his chair.
He summoned Bloodreaper, gently stroking the blade, and said with a smile, "Bloodreaper, it's been a while since I let you out; you aren't mad at me, are you?"
Bloodreaper's blade trembled slightly, but Matthew could feel its joy.
"Mr. Larson, the Martial League forces are assembled and ready."
Matthew nodded and followed the disciples from Basha's Sacred Mount downstairs.
A few months ago, the Mason-Rhodes and Morley families had arranged an engagement between Penelope Mason-Rhodes and Raphael Morley. However, Penelope had always been a prodigy, succeeding in everything she did, while Raphael was a notorious playboy, indulging in luxury and idleness.
Raphael arrived at the manor's entrance, his eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for the one who had captured his heart. Finally, a black car slowly drove into Morley Manor, and Raphael spotted Penelope inside.
When Penelope stepped out of the car, the desire and greed in Raphael's eyes grew even stronger. Penelope's fair, oval face, with her expressive, beautiful eyes beneath delicate brows and soft, flowing hair, gave an impression of being gentle and docile. But to assume that was a mistake.
Penelope now managed most of the Mason-Rhodes Family's businesses, and there was even a rumor circulating that she would be the next head of the family.
Upon seeing Raphael, a flash of disgust appeared in Penelope's eyes.
Upon learning of her engagement to Raphael, she immediately ordered an investigation into him. What she found was a long list of transgressions: sleeping with women, keeping college girls, and discarding them when he grew bored.
