Such an ending was embarrassing. “I know that you are interested in the mines of the hidden clan. We can cooperate, but I have a condition.” Dominik looked at Matthew and solemnly expressed.
The man sitting opposite him gave a small smile as he sipped on his tea. Then, he confidently replied, “I know what you want to say, but I’m sorry I can’t agree to it.”
Matthew took the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Dominik and himself. After that, he slowly explained, “Ten lifetimes won’t be enough for me to spend the wealth in Bloomstead. So, our cooperation is optional, but there can only be one buddy.”
He raised his eyes to say loudly, “Troy will always be my buddy until death. He has sacrificed so much for me that I can’t gamble with his life for the sake of business.”
Then, Matthew played with the teacup before he continued, “Actually, you shouldn’t have said those words today. It’s still the same thing. If I cared about the mines and Roni cared about the head of the clan, then the big winner would have been Roni, not you. You care too much about people’s opinions and your so-called dignity.”
“As for the matter between you and Zac, it has already ended with Zac’s death. The entire hidden clan will never know about this matter, except for me and Troy. This also includes Roni.”
As soon as Dominik came over, Matthew had already known what the man wanted. After all, what happened between Dominik and Zac was a shameful event for Dominik. The more people knew about it, the more shame he felt.
Unfortunately for him, the person who was aware of Dominik and Zac’s matter was Troy and Troy was the one who ended Zac’s life. If he could eliminate Troy, there would be one less ‘witness’ in this world. At the same time, he could pin the blame on Troy for everything.
After all, it was Dominik who bribed Troy to do the deed. If he killed Troy, Dominik could easily announce to the public that Troy accidentally murdered Zac. And since he had gotten rid of Troy, he would be considered as having avenged Zac’s death.
Dominik was contemplating in silence. “Very few people are aware of Zac’s death. I do have an idea to help you absolve responsibility.” “What idea?” Dominik’s eyes brightened, looking eager.
“Roni is excellent at dressing someone up. So, we can look for someone who looks similar to Zac and dress him up as Zac. Then, send him on his way to Castron and let him drown on his journey. This matter would not involve your hidden clan then. The important point is that Antheena, Hendrey, and Xavier all have a close relationship with Zac. If our plan fails, they would expose the matter. So, we can’t keep any one of Zac’s cronies alive!”
At that, Matthew explained, “Don’t worry too much. Those involved will keep this a secret. I mean, Zac’s death benefits both of us. The reason why I’m willing to help out is because I don’t want you to hurt Troy anymore. He’s my man, so he should be able to leave the hidden clan in one piece!”
Dominik thought that he was intelligent enough, but for some reason, he felt that Matthew’s sharp eyes, wisdom, and generosity left him. greatly impressed.
Troy was merely an unimportant ally but was rejected by Matthew when he tried to make an immeasurable offer. All of a sudden, Dominik’s admiration for Matthew grew ever so slightly.
Of course, he was also willing to believe what Matthew had said earlier. Zac and Matthew had a grudge against each other, so now that Zac was dead, Matthew would not be able to get away scot-free if he were to reveal Zac’s cause of death to those in Castron, as Troy was the murderer.
The two of them were akin to being on the same boat, and the only thing they could do was huddle for warmth. “Deal!” Dominik raised his cup and clinked it with Matthew’s as both of them smiled. Now that Zac was dead, Dominik was naturally relieved.
