The servants following behind him wore even broader smiles on their faces. They knew very well that when their young master uttered those words, it meant that the fate awaiting this person would be, at the very least, to be played with until crippled.

Matthew Reed nodded and said, “Yes, I believe it, because I saw it very clearly. That person called Roger Grant was killed by a spatial rift.”

“What are you? How dare you spout nonsense in front of me! I suspect you colluded with Liam Foster to kill Roger Grant. Men, seize this thief for me!” As Charles Brooks spoke, he waved his hand toward several guards behind him.

His guards were well aware of this young master’s temperament, so they didn’t hesitate. One after another, they leapt into the air and charged straight at Matthew Reed.

A flash of sword light, swift as lightning—within a blink, the guards rushing at Matthew Reed were all dead, not a single one left.

A silvery-white little sword, only as long as a finger, hovered above Matthew Reed’s head.

“A Foundation Establishment cultivator!” Master Harris’s voice was a bit hoarse.

After saying this, he quickly walked over to Matthew Reed’s side and said with utmost respect, “Junior Zhao Chengxiu of Dingfang City, greets Senior!”

Matthew Reed cast a look of disdain at Master Harris, ignored him, and instead locked his killing intent tightly onto Charles Brooks.

The chilling murderous aura made Charles Brooks feel as if he was about to wet his pants.

Able to control a flying sword—this… this was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he had just said he wanted to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

And this Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually testifying for Liam Foster!

His gaze involuntarily shifted to Liam Foster, only to see Liam Foster standing beside that cultivator, a faint, gentle smile on his handsome face.

That smile looked quite elegant.

But Charles Brooks felt that this brat was mocking him. He clearly knew this man was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet not only did he not warn him, he even pushed him into the pit.

This brat deserves to die!

What to do? What should he do?

If his father and the family elders found out he had offended a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the consequences…

For a moment, Charles Brooks stood there, not knowing what to do.

David Bolton was also dumbfounded. He had planned to take advantage of the situation to make a profit and curry favor with Charles Brooks, the young master of the Chen family, but he hadn’t expected that damn Liam Foster to have a Foundation Establishment cultivator backing him!

Damn it, he’d really kicked an iron plate this time.

Just as everyone was feeling anxious and fearful, Matthew Reed said coldly, “Brother, these people dare to slander you. In my opinion, it’s better to just kill them all!”

The words “kill them all” sent a chill through everyone present.

Especially Master Harris, who felt his throat go dry. Although he could act with impunity in Dingfang City, he knew all too well that to a cultivator like Matthew Reed, killing him would be no different than crushing an ant.

“Senior, spare me, senior…”

While Master Harris was begging bitterly, Charles Brooks was already shouting loudly, “You… you can’t kill me! I am the eldest son of the Chen family, and my uncle is an outer sect elder of the Jiulian Sect. You can’t kill me!”

The words “outer sect elder of the Jiulian Sect” made a trace of hesitation appear in Matthew Reed’s murderous intent. Although he very much wanted to crush these people like bugs, all the outer sect elders of the Jiulian Sect were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

For himself, he didn’t want to become mortal enemies with a cultivator of the same level over a trivial matter.

However, since he was standing up for Liam Foster, he couldn’t just back down halfway.

Just as he was feeling conflicted, Liam Foster had already noticed the fleeting hesitation on his face. After pondering for a moment, Liam Foster said softly, “Brother Reed, these three are indeed annoying, but I don’t think they deserve to die.”

Though he said this, in his heart, Liam Foster wished he could kill them all. But right now, Matthew Reed was his greatest support, and he couldn’t risk weakening their relationship by having Matthew Reed kill Charles Brooks.

Still, in his heart, his desire for power grew even stronger.

If only he had the cultivation of Matthew Reed, he would have killed a bastard like Charles Brooks with a single sword strike long ago!

Facing Liam Foster’s smiling face, Matthew Reed felt even more that this little brother was sensible. Although he was unwilling to kill, he absolutely had to get justice for his little brother.

He ignored Charles Brooks and instead looked at Master Harris, saying, “I want an explanation for this matter. If I don’t get a satisfactory result within half an hour, I won’t mind testing the edge of my sword.”

Matthew Reed’s words filled Master Harris’s heart with wild joy. When he heard what Matthew Reed said earlier, he had been trembling with fear, but now it seemed he really had a way out.

This way out was probably because Matthew Reed was wary of the Chen family’s young master’s uncle, but he knew even more clearly that if he couldn’t produce a result that satisfied this man, no one could stop him if he decided to kill.

“Please rest assured, senior. I will definitely satisfy you.”

Matthew Reed ignored him and turned to Liam Foster, saying, “Brother, is your home far from here? Let’s go talk at your place.”
