Chapter 1051

An Eye for an Eye

At the Lewis Residence, all the main members of the Ten Greatest Families were basically there. This
included their respective old masters and current family heads.

The status of attendees reflected how serious this incident was to Eastcliff. As the temporal
representative of the Lewis Family, Franklin greeted the guests personally. After they were all seated in
the courtyard, he then proceeded to recount and embellish last night’s events.

However, the Ten Great Families already knew the event he told them about.

After Franklin finished, the White’s new family head uttered straight-forwardly, “Mr. Lewis, even after
you’ve said so much, why isn’t that Matthew guy here yet?”

Since the last family head of the Whites, Declan, got dealt with, most of their members also got caught in
the aftermath. So now, there were a lot of new faces in their ranks. As a result, the White’s reach was
reduced a lot by this change of power.

Their family now was only a shadow of their former self, as they were reduced to being at the bottom
rank of the Ten Greatest Families.

Sighing, Franklin replied, “Just saying his name makes me mad. I wanted to bring that b*stard here, but
Billy was protecting him. Last night, Stanley’s cousin, the one who’s called the South Street’s Tiger or
whatever, brought thugs and beat countless of our family members up! We… were so incompetent that
we couldn’t even catch the person who murdered our head! I have thoroughly shamed my ancestors!”

Saying this, Franklin started to wipe his crocodile tears. His pitiful condition angered those on relatively
good terms with the Lewis Family.

“How insolent! He is just intentionally provoking the Ten Greatest Families by killing one of our heads!”





“Tell me about it! If he had the means to kill the head of the Lewis Family, that means he could strike at
any one of the other heads tomorrow! We should stay on high alert!”

“Does he think he could do as he pleases just because Billy is protecting him? Does he think that the Ten
Greatest Families are pushovers?”

“Hmph, this time we’ll fight to the end! So that they know that the power of the Ten Greatest Families is
not just for show!”

The various outbursts of the attendees made Franklin cheer gleefully inside, as this was the exact
outcome he desired. Just as everybody was busy venting their anger, a sarcastic voice could be heard
from the entrance. “Oh, everyone’s already here? Did you guys get together in advance to discuss how
best to frame me?”

Turning their heads, they saw Matthew walking in slowly. Under the watchful eyes of the Ten Greatest
Families was Matthew, who kept his cool and had a smile on his face, looking as if he was taking a stroll
in the park!

His expression made them look at each other cluelessly. It was then that the head of the White Family
stood up and declared, “Matthew! How dare you kill the head of the Lewis Family! If a suitable
explanation is not given today, the Ten Greatest Families will not let you off the hook!”

The head’s words made the other families agree in unison.

With a calm expression, Matthew glanced at him. “What? Do you still want revenge for Declan? A word
of advice for you, keep a low profile for now. If any more misfortune really befalls the remaining members
of your family, then the Whites would truly be left without an heir!”



The head of the White Family’s expression soured almost instantly. Without an heir?! This is just too
insulting.

Just then, the head of the Sandels, Robert, broke his silence. “You impudent brat! I know that you and
Billy are very close! But nothing in this world can escape karma. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth! Not only did you not repent after killing the head of the Lewis Family, but you’re also even acting
so arrogant now just because you have Billy’s backing! You really think none of us can go up against
you, do you?”

As the Sandel Family was the de facto leader of the Ten Greatest Families, Robert’s words made the
other families all band together in agreement.

Half the people present were staring daggers at Matthew, as if they were mortal enemies.
