Matthew returned to Eastshire that very same day.

However, he wasn't in a rush to make his return known and asked Melvin to meet up with him instead.

Melvin took over things in Eastshire the few days Matthew was in the Southeast State.

"How are things now?" Matthew asked.

Melvin furrowed his brows deeply. "Bad. The Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale has allied with a few families from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. They basically have full control of Eastshire now. Macon even sent a bride-dowry to President Cunningham and said that he will marry her. He's going to pick her up tomorrow for the ceremony."

The blood left Matthew's face hearing that. "What?!"

Melvin continued gloomily, "Macon wanted Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to hand over the Restoration Pill, but President Cunningham would rather die than to do that. Besides, everyone knows that it was Cunningham Pharmaceuticals that invented the pill. He could not get his hands on it, so he thought of this scheme to marry her and do a hostile takeover of the company. Then, the Restoration Pill would fall into his hands."

Matthew punched the table out of anger. "F*ck, Macon! What about Sasha? How is she now?"

Melvin answered, "President Cunningham is being detained at home against her will. The Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale sent many guards to watch over her. There's no way she could run. Macon also caught her parents and a few of your friends. He threatened her that if she ran away or did not marry him, he would kill those people. So, she didn't have a choice."

Matthew's face only became colder as anger flashed across his face.

Macon was despicable!

However, Melvin was not done talking. "Not only that, Macon even beat Stanley up and almost took over Brittany's house. Fortunately, Master Levi came out at that time and stopped him from doing more harm to her."

Matthew's face went icy hard. "He dared to harm Brittany? Is he crazy?"

Melvin shrugged. "He's always been conceited. He probably thinks that the Nolan Family doesn't care about her. So, he wanted to use this opportunity to gain control of Billy's businesses. However, he was wrong. Master Levi would never let that happen. If the granddaughter of the Nolan Family died in the South, he would not be able to answer them. So, Master Levi will protect Brittany at all costs." Matthew nodded at that, but he frowned soon after. "Did he say anything about us, though?"

Melvin shook his head. "He's the King of the South, but it's impossible for him to deal with all the internal conflict of the families. He cannot be involved in this. He won't care if the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale killed you, but he also wouldn't do anything if you killed them."

Matthew nodded slowly. "Good! Ask Tiger to come here. I've got work for him."

Hearing that, Melvin's face turned sour and he said in a low voice, "He was ambushed last night and suffered serious injuries. If it wasn't for our men beside him, he would have died. However, one of his hands was still chopped off. It could not be reattached."

Matthew pursed his lips. "Who did this?"

Melvin shook his head. "We still have no clue, but we're sure it's someone from Eastshire. People from Stonedale usually stay in Eastcliff and won't come over to the Eastshire area. So, it could only be someone from one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire if they ambushed him here. From what we can find, he went out after receiving a call that day. He's still in a coma. We'll be able to find out who called him as well as who injured him after he wakes up."
