Iris grew impatient as she witnessed Matthew's disrespectful behavior. The initial attraction she felt had completely vanished after several rounds of rejection.

"While there have been people who have disrespected me, not many have lived to tell the tale! Moreover, you have harmed my man. It's time for us to settle our differences!"

If being gentle failed to work in her favor, she would try a more forceful approach. Even though it wasn't enjoyable to be intimate with someone who was unwilling, it would still quench her thirst for this man.

As soon as she finished speaking, the dozen or so guards behind Iris emitted a powerful aura. Their hands were already resting on the hilts of their swords as the situation spiraled out of control.

The previously relaxed banquet suddenly became tense as the surrounding guests began to inch away from the altercation.

"This guy is done for. How dare he challenge Princess Iris just because he has Prince Gadel's protection."

"I couldn't agree more. It's a great honor to be desired by Princess Iris. I truly didn't expect this guy to be so ignorant."

The initial envy they had harbored in their hearts had now turned into sarcastic mockery.

Matthew quickly shielded Eleanor as Bloodreaper appeared in his hand. The blade was already trembling slightly, as if it couldn't wait to taste blood. Matthew himself was also prepared to fight at any given moment. If the other party dared to take a step forward, they would surely meet their demise on the spot.

Just then, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside the hall, cutting through the tense atmosphere like a sharp knife! When everyone turned their heads, they saw Prince Gadel, adorned with gemstones, hurrying over. All the guests immediately made way for him.

When Prince Gadel arrived at the scene, he nodded toward Matthew before turning to face Princess Iris with a flattering smile.

"Princess Iris, may I have a moment of your attention?"

Iris knew that Matthew was Gadel's distinguished guest. So, even though she was willful and arrogant, she also knew she had to maintain the dignity of the royal family. Therefore, she snorted coldly before complying when Gadel called her over. Then, she suppressed her impatience and listened to what Gadel had to say.

"Princess Iris, Matthew is far from an ordinary man. If there are no deep grudges between you, please let this matter go!"

Gadel still held a great deal of respect toward Iris. Although she didn't have the qualifications to contend for the throne, she was their father's favorite. The other princes also had to flatter her, just as Gadel was doing right now.

Iris gave him a sidelong glance and spoke indifferently, "Matthew is far from ordinary? Is my identity ordinary in your eyes?"

Iris was naturally prideful as she was the princess of her country.

"My dearest sister, Matthew has a close relationship with the Martial League of Cathay. He is also the current Holy Doctor of Cathay. I need his help to cure my wife's stubborn illness! Princess Iris, please let this matter go for my sake!"

Although Iris was capricious, she wasn't foolish. Prince Gadel had brought his entourage along with him, indicating that he was determined to help Matthew. If she insisted on causing trouble for Matthew, it would only lead to an unpleasant situation between the two siblings. In the end, this would make the Montiria Royal Family a laughingstock to the masses!

"Is that so?"

She hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking a step back. "Alright. Then, I'll let this matter slide for your sake. Follow me!" Gadel breathed a sigh of relief. If Princess Iris and Matthew were to clash here, his previous plans would be completely disrupted. Judging from Princess Iris' demeanor, he had a strong feeling that this matter would not be resolved so easily.

"Oh, what a mess!"

At this moment, the guests who had originally planned to watch the drama unfold were visibly disappointed and astonished. They didn't expect Prince Gadel to personally come and mediate for Matthew. Matthew's status and position in everyone's hearts had undoubtedly risen to a higher level after this ordeal.

Gadel greeted Matthew after dealing with Iris.

"Mr. Larson, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll take my leave for now, and we can have a drink later."

He wasn't using his status as a prince to disrespect Matthew. He had been deeply engaged in negotiations with Dustin and other world-class businessmen across the globe. However, he immediately paused when he heard that Matthew was in trouble. Now that the matter was resolved, he had to rush to his meeting.
