Chapter 1734
Startled, Edmund said softly, "Granduncle, the Damron Family was very aggressive at that time. If no one from
our family stepped out to bear this responsibility, then... the only thing that awaits us is... a complete wipe out."
Victor berated loudly, "Our family has hundreds of years of history and has been through all kinds of storms.
What kind of situation have we not seen before? Just a Damron Family, and they're bragging that they could wipe
us out? Hmph, it's not the Damron Family that's aggressive, but they could see how weak Derrick is. This is
Stonedale, the place our family has been operating for centuries. No matter how strong the Damron Family are,
they have to pay a price in blood if they want to wipe out our family. If Derrick is a little tougher..." He snorted
and continued, "What could the Damron Family do? At the worst, we'll perish together. | don't think that they
would be willing to pay such a big price over such a small issue!"
Taking a glance at Victor, Matthew had to admit that this elderly man was a man of valor. This aspect of him was
far ahead of the current old master of the Albright Family, Derrick. No wonder Macon abducted Victor, Matthew
thought.

If Victor had remained in the Albright Family, he would be the old master of the family now.
Given Victor's personality, it would be impossible for the Rathbone Family to overpower the Albright Family!
In the end, Edmund drove the car to a remote, abandoned factory located in the suburbs.
There was almost no one here within dozens of miles radius. The environment was bad, but at least, people
could hide here for the tbeing.
Matthew placed Victor and the others here before planting shidden poison in the vicinity to prevent Victor
and the others getting killed if they were tracked down.
After that, he left with Edmund to meet the old master of the Barrera Family, AntoBarrera.
Edmund had already bribed Jimmy, the young master of the Barreras, and he promised to introduce them to
Antonio. However, Jimmy had no idea that the person he was going to introduce would be Matthew, and not
Edmund.
In Jimmy's opinion, Edmund wanted to ask for Antonio's help to give him a way out because he was out of wits.
When he saw that Edmund had brought another person, he was a little confused.
"What's this? I'm bringing you to meet my grandfather. Why did you bring another person along?" he asked with
a frown.
"Jimmy, the one who will be meeting your grandfather is this guy, not me," Edmund hurriedly explained. "Just
bring him to meet him, and I'll be waiting here!"
"Wait?" Jimmy exclaimed. "I told my grandfather that you're the one who's meeting him. How am | supposed to
explain to him that it's a different guy now?" Awkwardly, Edmund said, "Jimmy, please help to explain this. My
friend has something important to say to your grandfather. Will you please help us out?" Casting a glance at
Matthew, Jimmy then turned back to Edmund and rolled his eyes. "I can help, but what do | get in return?"

All of a sudden, Edmund was speechless. Jimmy was notoriously greedy, and Edmund had just given him 30
million earlier, but he was asking for benefits again now. How greedy can he get? Just then, Matthew said, "I'll
give you another 20 million."
That makes it 50 million! Edmund thought, his face falling.
On the other hand, Jimmy was over the moon. He immediately answered, "Okay! Ha, you're really a man who is
meant for great things, buddy. You're so bold! That's decided, then!"
After Matthew transferred 20 million to Jimmy, he brought them to the Barrera Manor right away. With Jimmy
leading the path, nobody dared to stop them in the huge courtyard, and soon, both of them reached the heart of
the manor, standing in front of a simple, quaint courtyard.
"This is my grandfather's courtyard. Recently, he's been suffering from the relapse of his old illness, so he gets
mad very easily. Cwithand don't spout any nonsense," Jimmy instructed.
