Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1471

Hearing those words, everyone turned their heads simultaneously toward Master Wayne. One of the family heads said, "What kind of nonsense is this? If Matthew Larson wants to be known as the Lord of Eastshire and reign over us, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, then he must pay with his life! For that young brat to want to achieve what Billy Newman failed, just who does he think he is?"

The rest of them nodded in assent with what was said.

Master Wayne waved his hand.

"Everyone, I understand where you are all coming from. However, the question we must ask is if Matthew Larson plans to reign over the Ten Families. Just look at the King of the South. Master Levi controls the entirety of the Six Southern States, but the great families of the Six Southern States still hold their own territory with the right to speak up. That man had never reigned over the great families of the Six Southern States and, unless it was something serious, had never even interfered with their affairs!"

Saying that, he took a glance around the room before he continued, "By that same token, Matthew Larson's title as the Lord of Eastshire is but a sham. As long as we treat him with respect, he will not interfere with our affairs. That would be the best-case scenario here. But, look at us now. What are we all doing here? We're planning to use whatever means necessary to claim Matthew's life. Not to mention, we've even used the Cosby Family against him. In the end, not only did he survive that ordeal, but his resentment toward us had grown much deeper. Gentlemen, should he come for us when he finds out the truth of the matter, just how many of the Nine Greatest Families of Eastshire would be left?"

The crowd became silent as they listened to Master Wayne's words. Just as he said, everyone here would have to pay a great price should they choose to go against Matthew. Each and every one of them started to think that it might be best for them to tolerate Matthew from now on.

However, Philip was the only one in the room whose expression had changed. The reason why he was so keen on going against Matthew was to exploit the situation now to prove the strength of the White Family as well as to increase his prestige among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.

Should the families here refrain from becoming enemies of Matthew Larson, then all of his plans would be in vain.

Not to mention, Philip's end goal for his years of planning was to eventually control all of Eastshire. If he could not deal with Matthew right now, then the White Family would never truly be able to control Eastshire regardless of their strength. Therefore, peaceful coexistence with Matthew was simply not an option for him. He must end Matthew right now.

Amidst the crowd's silence, Philip said coldly, "Hah, Master Wayne, don't you think you're being naive here? With Matthew's character, do you think he will coexist with us? Just how many families had been destroyed by that man the very moment he came to Eastshire? Furthermore, don't you know just what kind of person the crown prince of Mightwater is? Right now, he still hasn't caught on that we are the ones behind the Cosby Family's incident. Gentlemen, if he knows that we are the ones responsible for that affair, do you think he will be merciful toward us?"

This time, everyone's expression changed immediately upon Philip's words, as they realized the slim possibility of Matthew letting them off the hook after what they had done. Even if Matthew decided to let them off the hook, the crown prince of Mightwater was a different case. Now that things had progressed to this point, the only option left to them was to fight Matthew to their deaths.

At this moment, a voice came abruptly from outside the door. "Philip White, did you really take me as a fool who hadn't the slightest clue as to what all of you have done?"

Shocked, everyone in the room immediately turned in the direction of the voice. As the place they were in was kept a secret, not just anyone would be able to come near this place since their men were stationed within a thousand-meter radius. They all had the same thought, Just who was able to infiltrate this place so discreetly?
