Chapter 1228

As the saying went, a casual remark could sound significant to an attentive listener.

Matthew immediately said, "Master Arnold, is the Seven-Leafed Lotus real or fake?"

Glancing at Matthew, Ambrose said with a smile, "Mr.Larson, you know about the Seven-Leafed Lotus
too?"

Matthew nodded with a slight smile.

Crystal immediately joined in.

"Matthew, what's the Seven-Leafed Lotus?"

Matthew answered lightly, "The Seven-Leafed Lotus is a particularly rare medicinal herb.It blooms once
every three hundred years, and its medicinal effect is out of this world.It's not any less capable than the
Thousand-Year Snow Lotus or the Thousand-Year Ginseng.Besides, the most important thing is that
the Seven-Leafed Lotus has particularly high requirements in terms of the environment it grows in.This
kind of lotus loves fire and must live in fiery soil, which is often said to be near volcanic rocks.These
volcanic rocks have to maintain high temperatures all year round.Otherwise, the lotus won't be able to
survive.Therefore, the rarity of the Seven-Leafed Lotus is much higher than that of the Thousand-Year
Snow Lotus and the Thousand-Year Ginseng.This medicinal herb can really be considered priceless!"

Crystal's eyes widened.

"There's actually such a magical medicinal herb?"

Ambrose cast Matthew a profound glance.He didn't expect that Matthew would know about the Seven-
Leafed Lotus!



"It seems that you're an expert in this field, Mr.Larson.I wonder if you'd be interested in staying and
watching the excitement.Those collectors will be coming tomorrow.Not only will they bring the Seven-
Leafed Lotus, but they'll also bring many rare medicinal herbs!"

Ambrose stated with a smile.

Matthew immediately nodded.

"Okay, then I'll wait here for a day!"

Crystal was overjoyed.

Matthew staying here for one more day meant that he was going to be alone with her for one more day.

This was what she was most delighted about.

Afterward, Ambrose invited the two to lunch.

Obviously, Ambrose treated Matthew as a big shot in Eastcliff, so he simply did his best as a host, but
he didn't regard Matthew as a friend.

After dinner, Ambrose asked someone to arrange a single villa for Matthew and Crystal to stay in.

If this were before, Ambrose definitely wouldn't let Crystal get too close to Matthew.

Now that Matthew had shown his strengths, he felt that it wasn't a bad thing for Crystal and Matthew to
get closer.

Naturally, Crystal was beyond happy, but Matthew was helpless.

If he stayed in the same villa as Crystal, he didn't know what other incidents might happen.



Meanwhile, after Ambrose sent Matthew and Crystal away, he went straight to the backyard.

Mason was sitting in the backyard, and in front of him, Xander and the others were kneeling on the
ground.

They were all covered in blood stains, and they kept trembling and begging Mason to spare them.

Mason was livid and ignored their pleas.

When Ambrose walked over and saw Mason's half- swollen face, he couldn't help sighing.

"Mason, how many times have I told you? No matter what you do, don't be too impulsive.Why won't
you just listen to me?"

Ambrose chided.

Mason was dissatisfied.

"Dad, h-how was I supposed to know that Matthew is so powerful? Dad, i-is this really not a mistake?
Did he really take down the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff?"

Ambrose slowly nodded and told him what had happened in Eastcliff recently.

After Mason heard it, he was dumbfounded.He didn't expect Matthew to be so strong and capable.

Ambrose said coldly, "I Know you're very angry with him, but I advise you not to provoke him
anymore.This young man isn't simple.Even Billy admires him very much.You'd better get rid of the
notion of getting revenge on him.Otherwise, if anything happens, I won't let you off the hook either!"

After Ambrose finished speaking, he turned and left with his hands crossed behind his back.A look of
resentment flashed across Mason's face, and he was utterly dissatisfied.He was furious that Matthew



had humiliated him, and he was even more angry that Ambrose just sat idly by!
