Melvin didn't answer Matthew immediately but looked into the distance with a longing gaze for a while before finally waving his hand. "I suggest you don't ask about the Martial Emperor for now. You have nothing much to do with him now, anyway. You just have to remember that he's recognized as the world's greatest!"

Matthew's eyes widened with incredulity at that.

Melvin might not have said much, but 'the world's greatest' already spoke volumes.

The Six Kings were already crazy-powerful, yet none dared call themselves the greatest.

However, the Martial Emperor was recognized as the world's greatest. At the very least, it meant that even the Six Kings acknowledged his ability.

Imagine how powerful this man was when fighters like the Six Kings would willingly humble themselves in front of him!

Matthew nodded in acknowledgment. Indeed, someone as powerful as the Martial Emperor wasn't someone he could come in contact with at this time. What was more, the man had nothing to do with him right

now.

"In that case, why do you suppose Levi wants me to marry Brittany?" he asked.

"The way I see it, there's no way Levi wouldn't give a damn about the Restoration Pill when it possesses such great benefit," Melvin assumed. "I believe the source of all of this actually comes from the Restoration Pill. The Damrons want to obtain this pill, and Levi doesn't want to let go of such a fat pig either!"

However, Matthew thought otherwise, shaking his head after a moment of pondering. "It doesn't look like he's interested in the Restoration Pill at all, though. He didn't get involved when we fought Neverland to obtain the Restoration Pill. If he really wants what the pill can bring him, he would've seized it while getting himself involved, no?"

To that, Melvin waved his hand in objection. "That's where you're wrong. He's the King of the South. Do you think he'll loot the Restoration Pill just like the lots of Macon? In fact, he'd be in the wrong if he actually did that and might even draw attention to himself. He might not even gain anything at all in the end. Besides, the pill is within the South without him having to do anything. As long as it's within his region, it'll be within his control, so why would he need to do anything?"

Matthew nodded in agreement at that. That was indeed true.

"But this time, things are different," Melvin continued. "Because of what happened with Neverland Pharmaceuticals, the Restoration Pill was publicized, leading everyone to put their eyes on you. However, they need a valid reason even if they want to take the pill from you. Jasper's death gave the Damrons a valid reason to get rid of you so as to get to the pill, and this gave Levi a sense of crisis. Once the Damrons really get their hands on the pill, this fat pig will leave the South, far away from Levi's control!"

A glimmer flashed across Matthew's eyes at that, and he looked at Melvin. "So you're saying Levi definitely wouldn't sit back and do nothing?"

"He won't," Melvin affirmed. "However, the question is how he would deal with this. Yes, he will not let the pill leave the South, but it doesn't mean he'll stop the Damrons from attacking you. If he sits back and lets the Damrons kill you, then only step in in the name of justice to seize the pill from the Damrons, wouldn't that just make you the sacrificial lamb?"

Matthew was rendered stumped. That's true!

Then, another question popped into Matthew's head. "Why would he want me to marry Brittany if he can just do that, though? Why not wait for the Damrons to kill me, then just seize the pill from them?"
