Chapter 303
Matthew and Rachel quickly arrived at the Evans residence.
The Evans residence was huge, situated right next to the garden across the Lambda River. It was a three-story villa that had direct access to the garden.
They parked beside the garden. Then, Matthew grabbed Chester's hair and dragged him out of the car.
"Ouch!" Chester yelled. After snapping awake from the pain, he quickly followed Matthew and kept his head close to Matthew's hand to minimize the pain of his hair being yanked.
Right then, the Evans family was having a meeting with all the family members.
Justin Evans, Chester's grandfather, was talking. "The Hobbes family establishing its influence in Lambda City is a big deal. Other families might follow suit and come to build their influence here. "Our family will stay out of conflicts with other factions. As for the Hobbes, we'll just play along and not commit to fighting for them.
"On the Hobbes family's behalf, Louis went ahead and confronted the Carter family, but he ended up getting beaten up by a chauffeur. It brought shame to the family and put us in a dangerous spot." Louis quickly corrected Justin. "I was ambushed."
He didn't dare admit he was defeated because it would taint his reputation and cost him the opportunity to be the next heir of the Evans family. So, he was adamant about denying his loss.
Feeling frustrated, Justin snapped, "You've already lost, you coward! The world only cares about winning and losing. In a fight where lives are on the line, losing means death."
Louis looked down and kept silent because he knew Justin was right. If he had dropped to his knees any slower, he would have been dead. Just thinking about it filled him with dread. Justin continued, "As the leading family in Lambda City, we can't let this humiliation go unpunished. Otherwise, we'll lose our dignity.
"So, who among you will go to Wealthwave Group and bring me that chauffeur? I want to kill him with my own hands."
The moment Justin finished speaking, a loud bang rang out at the gate, startling everyone in the room to their feet.
"What happened?"
"Sounds to me like someone kicked the gate."
"Who dares to bang the Evans family's gate? Is he asking for trouble?"
Justin stood up and walked outside. "Whoever causing a scene at the Evans residence must be trying to get himself killed."
Everyone poured out of the room in
a hurry. When they got to the yard, they could hear the gate being pounded intermittently. It sounded like the person outside was getting more and more impatient.
Justin shouted in exasperation, "Who's knocking on my gate like that? Do you have a death wish?"
Justin wasn't the only person
thinking this way. The rest of the Evanses were on the same page. In Lambda City, the Evans family was a top dog. Kicking their gate was
practically asking for trou was
Matthew slammed his foot against the gate a few times. When he heard footsteps from inside, he knew someone must have heard him and that the gate would be opened soon.
He didn't expect to hear someone yelling death threats at him. Fuming with anger, he kicked the gate with all his might.
With a loud bang, the heavy iron gate toppled inward and hit the ground with a loud clatter, creating an ear-splitting noise.
With the door out of the way, Justin and the other Evanses finally saw Matthew. Matthew slowly stepped inside the Evans residence, dragging Chester by the air as he crossed the gate. noveldrama
The sight of it had everyone gaped at Matthew in shock.
"What are you doing?"
"Get your hands off Chester!"
"You lay a hand on one of us, and you're done for!"
