Chapter 997

An Ambush

Around 10.00PM, Matthew and Sasha drove home after having dinner with their friends. When their car
drove past a rather secluded area, two vans appeared out of nowhere and trapped her Maserati from the
front and back.

In a split second, out came a few men from the vans, who dashed over to their car. At lightning speed,
they opened the door and forcefully yanked Sasha out.

Frowning, Matthew immediately rushed out, placed a hand on the top of the car, and flung himself
across, kicking one of the men onto the floor while he was at it.

One of the fellas witnessed that and brandished a machete knife, which he swung at Matthew’s back.

Matthew agilely spun around and dodged the blade that was coming at his back. At the same time, he
turned around once more and grabbed the perpetrator’s wrist to snatch the knife. Then, he
counterattacked the man by swinging the knife onto his face.

The man let out a chilling scream as the blade dug right into his face. He might have to live with the
permanent scar from the severe wound for the rest of his life.

More men came out from the vans, and one of them was Troy, who had followed Luke around in the
morning. After Dickson agreed to help Luke, he also ordered to bail Luke’s friends out.

When Troy spotted Matthew, a vindictive look flashed across his eyes. “Bruno, he’s the guy!”

The tanned man standing beside him was Bruno, Dickson’s subordinate. Bruno’s eyes looked cold as he
bellowed, “He’s pretty courageous, aye? Hmph, end him!”





At the order, a few men immediately lurched toward Matthew, attacking him with various weapons.
Without any delay, he swiftly dashed toward them and landed a direct cross punch on the chest of the
first man at the front of the pack.

The unlucky guy was flung to the side from the impact and thrown against the van behind him, causing
the windows to shatter.

A sharp look gleamed in Bruno’s eyes, for he was also astonished by the power in Matthew’s punch.
While he was in shock, Matthew did not stop—he continued to attack the other men.

This time, he refused to show mercy. If they were only attacking him, he’d feel less incensed. But now,
they were obviously attacking Sasha, which had crossed a line, and for that, he had no reason to hold
back.

Not long after, the group of seven to eight men was lying on the floor and howling in pain. The
expression on Bruno’s face fell. Dang it! Why is he so strong?!

Matthew gave Troy a look before he finally turned to Bruno. “Who ordered you to come for us tonight?”

Bruno chuckled menacingly. “Wanna know? Beat me, and I’ll tell you!”

Without hesitation, Matthew rushed forward, aiming his fist at the man. However, the man wasn’t too
scared but merely sneered.

“Fist of the Eight Trigrams? Hmph, taste my Wing Chun boxing skills!”

While speaking, he had raised both of his hands, his right arm swooping down to slap away Matthew’s
punch. Still, he had underestimated his opponent’s strength.

When his right arm hit Matthew’s wrist, he felt that he had hit a steel pillar, and he failed to make
Matthew’s hand move. At that moment, his expression changed, but it was too late for him to retreat.



Matthew landed a cross punch on his chest, and he could not help but stumble a few steps backward.
After he steadied himself, he tasted something sweet and metallic in his throat and vomited blood a few
times.

“Is that all you got?” Matthew smirked.

Bruno clenched his jaw and stared at him straight. “W-Who exactly are you? Since when has Eastcliff
welcomed a master like you?”

Matthew did not bother to say much and went for the point. “Tell me now. Who asked you to come for
us?”

Bruno stubbornly clenched his teeth and revealed nothing.

Matthew gave up asking him and turned to Troy instead. “Why don’t you do me a favor and tell me?”

Shaking like a leaf, Troy replied with a trembling voice, “I-It’s Dickson Lewis!”

Matthew frowned. “Dickson Lewis?”

He remembered the name because Luke had mentioned it a few times in the morning, but at that time,
he did not really pay attention to the name. To his surprise, the daredevil sent some men to ambush him
at night.

“I haven’t knocked on his door yet, but he’s already coming for me! What is it that he wants?”
