Chapter 826

Let Me Show You Something

After getting everything settled, Matthew went back to Leanna’s place.

Of course, Matthew only told Leanna that an Orleanian accidentally left their centipedes here instead of
telling her the entire truth.

Upon hearing that, Leanna finally felt relieved. Nevertheless, she insisted on moving away and taking her
friend back to the city. Beyond the need for questions, she was already traumatized by her suburban
nightmare.

Matthew didn’t stop her, as he knew that if the 72 clan leaders were at Eastcliff, they might actually
start rearing poisonous creatures in the suburbs as well. Seeing that the creatures they brought along
with them might starve to death if they didn’t feed them, it seemed like the suburbs of Eastcliff weren’t a
safe place anymore.

When Matthew thought about the situation of the area around his villa, he realized that those poisonous
creatures in the lake were placed there deliberately. Judging from the situation, he could tell that the
location wasn’t their natural habitat.

At that moment, Matthew felt his heart constricting a little.

Usually, the 72 clan leaders would choose a remote area to rear their poisonous creatures to avoid
others from finding out.

However, the lake definitely wasn’t a remote place.

Could it be that someone is trying to stir things up by rearing poisonous creatures in the lake near the
villas? Is someone working with the Orleanians and placing poisonous creatures there deliberately to
archive something?





Matthew pondered about the possibilities of that.

The result of what happened near the villa was Jaden landing himself in prison and destroying his own
reputation. Still, who benefitted the most from this?

At the thought of that, Matthew seemed to have solved the mystery, suddenly jolting.

Although he did benefit from this, the person who truly benefited the most was the current Head of the
Lach Family.

After all, Jaden’s father was the rightful inheritor of the Lachs to take control of the family.

Still, after this issue, Jaden’s father died while Jaden ended up in prison, causing the Lachs to lose both
its inheritors.

So, the person who unquestionably benefited from this was the current Head of the Lach Family.

As for the villa area, the Lachs probably didn’t care, as the position of the current Head of the Family
wasn’t stabilized yet, so they couldn’t be bothered.

However, they surely thought that it would be useless for Matthew to take those poisonous creatures
from the lake, as those creatures might have harmed him instead.

By then, the Lachs might be able to get the place back with a lower price and even profit from Matthew.

Matthew really had to admit that the Lachs made a smart move this time.

Although he couldn’t understand what was going on exactly in the past, he finally connected the dots
after everything that happened tonight.



It seems like I should pay the Lachs a visit. Billy gave me a year to take over the Ten Greatest Families
of Eastcliff. Among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, the Jacksons are now under my command.
Although the Lachs aren’t as powerful now, they’re still under the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. I
guess I can start making my moves on them now.

The following morning, Matthew headed back to Lakeside Garden.

Since it was still dawn, Natalie was still deep in her slumbers, and Matthew left for the Fields’ villa after
adjusting her blanket for her.

When he reached the villa, Jinny was already in the living room, and she was trying to turn on the
television.

Upon seeing Matthew, she looked embarrassed before she greeted, “Hey, Matthew.”

Right then, Matthew smiled before he carried the pill furnace toward the couch. “Let me show you
something.”

Immediately, Jinny went toward him. “What is it?”

Matthew opened the pill furnace.

At this moment, Jinny couldn’t help but look taken aback after glancing at the pill furnace.

The pill furnace was completely filled with rainbow centipedes, and it would definitely creep out anyone
who was looking at it.

Right then, Matthew observed Jinny’s reaction. Although she looked stunned, there wasn’t any hint of
fear in her.

This was unexpected for a girl.



“W-What is all this?” Jinny asked with a curious look on her face. From the looks of it, it seemed like she
was planning to touch these centipedes.

At the same time, the centipedes got agitated the moment Matthew opened the cover of the pill furnace
and started trying to escape.
