“Dominik has successfully inherited the position of the head of the clan and bribed me to eliminate Zac. So, I followed Boss’ order, got rid of Zac, and did Dominik a favor.” Matthew was originally worried about letting Zac remain in the clan, but he never expected that Zac would have a change of heart when it came to Dominik.
Dominik valued his dignity so much that he would not allow it to be tainted by anything or anyone. From the moment Zac laid a hand on Dominik, that was the beginning of Zac’s end.
“So, you are a spy.” Skyler was taken aback and glared at Matthew. “Matt, you are not being fair,” he said before giving Troy another kick. “You’re not any better either. Heck, you never treated me like your bro.”
“Blaming me, huh?” Troy blankly looked at Skyler. “It’s all thanks to Boss. You should deal with him.” Everyone laughed because they saw how Troy. washed his hands off the matter.
Veronica, who was sitting alone in a corner,. looked lonely as she said nothing. Then, she rose to her feet and left the room. Although Crayson’s death was within her expectations, she still couldn’t accept the fact when she heard about it.
Everyone watched as she left in sadness. While Shirley thought about following Veronica, Matthew stopped her with a look. “Let her calm down.”
No matter what, Crayson was like Veronica’s father figure. They had been together for more than twenty years, but after all that had happened in the hidden clan over the past two months, Veronica found it difficult to accept reality.
After that, Skyler asked about what happened at the ascension ceremony. The gang of men chatted for a long time before they returned to their rooms. Before Troy left, he went to Matthew. “That’s right. Dominik should be coming over to visit you tonight.”
Matthew nodded. “Okay.” Two hours later, Dominik showed up at One Piece Restaurant and was now with Matthew in the living room. Matthew had asked everyone to leave the room, so there was only him and Dominik. “Congrats, My Lord.” Matthew had substituted the alcohol with tea and toasted Dominik..
Dominik hesitated when he saw Matthew’s actions. Matthew.could see Dominik’s hesitation and took the cup from Dominik to drink its contents. “Don’t worry, I won’t poison you. You don’t have to worry since Troy is my man. If Roni had wanted the position of the head of the clan. you’d be a dead man by now.”
Such words caught Dominik by surprise, then he nodded after he realized something. “Haha, you’re right. I’m being too cautious.”
Then, he poured another cup of tea for himself and took the initiative to toast Matthew. “I owe you a huge thanks’ for today. However, I’m curious about something. Why did you send someone to help me in the end?”
“It’s obviously to prove that Roni’s not interested in being the head of the clan.” Matthew took the fork and said while eating, “The person I sent over today helped you to earn that position, which is enough to explain everything. Troy mentioned that my people were the ones who saved your life. They tried their hardest to defend for more than an hour before your men finally showed up.”
Thanks to the geography of the hidden clan and the palace being at the mountaintop, the journey there was congested. So, it was difficult to seek help from anyone outside the mountain.
“That’s correct. I never expected that Crayson would communicate with the outsiders in an attempt to stop me. Heck, he even ruined the signal so that I’d lose contact with the outsiders. If it hadn’t been for your people coming in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.”
The moment Dominik thought about what could have happened, he was terrified. An indifferent Matthew commented, “Crayson is your enemy, so that makes him the enemy of mine and Roni’s. His death will put a stop to everything and return peace to me and Roni. Come to think of it, I have to thank you.”
While they were at Hayley’s villa earlier, they ran into Zac and Tanya’s men as well as Skyler bringing them to safety. It was only because of this that all of them were able to escape unscathed. After that, Matthew instructed Lazlo to bring reinforcements to support Dominik at the palace.
Then, he returned to One Piece Restaurant due to the injuries he sustained. After Matthew and the others received the news that Crayson and Randy had passed away, there was also subsequent news that Hayley took her own life..
Hayley and Crayson had been in cahoots with each other and finally met their ends in such a manner. She lost the belief that she always had, which resulted in her loss of courage to live..
