Matthew had zero faith in the Damrons.

Melvin had told him before that Mark, especially, was a notorious old fox.

Mark's history stood out among the many big families.

For those other families, the main person who could control everything in the family had to be the head of the family.

However, Mark had never been the head of the household. He wasn't even from the direct lineage of the family. Instead, he was only a member from a branch.

Mark's full name was Mark Damron. His parents didn't have any status or contribution in the family, and they were just ordinary members of the family.

Logically speaking, someone in his situation would already be considered lucky if he could rely on the Damron Family's blessings to earn some money and live a good life.

There was no way he would be part of the family's power struggle.

Yet, Mark had insisted on going against the rule.

He had been as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the sea, or even an invisible man among the family before he hit fifty-years-old.

He didn't have any hobbies, and would always travel around, play chess or be with his pet bird; he lived life like a rich playboy.

It all changed when a disaster struck the Damron Family.

When he was fifty-one years old, the Damrons had gotten on the bad side of a more powerful family in Bainbridge. The conflict that ensued resulted in a casualty of more than a dozen people. The fight only ended when the Nolans intervened.

Still, the family wanted to have the issue resolved through a martial arts contest.

The Nolans had nothing to do with the Damrons at the time.

In order to avoid sacrificing any lives, the Nolan Family had agreed to the contest.

However, the Old Master Damron and the head of the Damron Family then had both been injured by members of the other family.

It was only then that they realized they couldn't be compared to the Nolans.

Let alone winning the martial arts contest, the Damron Family couldn't even find a representative to take part in the contest.

Just when the Damrons were on the verge of making a fool out of themselves, Mark had volunteered to fight for the Damron Family.

Everyone in the Damron Family had no expectations for him, as they thought that he was just messing around.

To their surprise, Mark had insisted on participating in the contest.

Not only that, he had won against his opponent at the most crucial time and regained the Damrons' reputation.

This incident made Mark so famous that everyone in the family admired him. With everyone in the family praising him, he finally became one of the top executives of the family.

There were even members in the family clamoring for him to be the head of the Damron Family.

That being said, the Old Master Damron and head of the Damron Family at the time naturally were unwilling to let a branch member take charge of the family.

That was why they had tried making things difficult for Mark as much as they could.

However, all the problems they gave him were easily resolved by him.

Not only that, Mark had even made a show of his broad and wide connections. He might have seemed like a playboy during his younger years, when he had in fact used all that time to get to know important figures from other families.

It was his connections that supported him in the end.

Coupled with Mark's own management, he finally drove the then head of the family out of the throne before he pushed his son Aurelius to be the new head of the Damron Family.

As for the previous Old Master Damron, his reputation had been ruined and he was kicked out of his position because of some family property issues.

With that, Mark had smoothly become the Old Master who had control over the entire family.

For more than 20 years since then, the Damron Family only flourished under Mark's leadership.

Step by step, the family went from a nobody to one of the first-class families in Bainbridge, and even had the opportunity to enter the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay. This was proof of how good Mark was at doing what he did.

Matthew knew he had to keep his guard up against Mark because of Mark's schemes and ability.

After what happened with Aurelius, Matthew knew very well that Aurelius was not his opponent. It was surely Mark!
