Matthew frowned and said solemnly, "You want to live? Truth be told, I don't want to kill you either, but I'm worried that you'll seek revenge later!"

Maurice was in so much pain that his body began to twitch as well, but his desire to survive made him respond instinctively.

"I promise I won't seek revenge. I swear in the name of Ivor Blackwood that I won't seek revenge on you. If I end up seeking revenge, Ivor Blackwood shall renounce my soul forever." Matthew nodded and said, "I really want to believe you, but I don't know you at all. How can I trust you when I don't even know your name and where you're from?"

Just then, Maurice replied anxiously, "I can tell you that. My name is Maurice Quade, and I live in Nordhaven.

"Please just ask me everything you wanna know quickly. My blood will dry up if you delay any longer!"

Matthew then said with a cold expression, "I'll try to be quick. Right... Hmm... Who sent you, and what are your plans?"

When Maurice saw that Matthew was stumbling over his own words and taking his own sweet time, he couldn't help but wallow in hatred. It was his life on the line, after all.

He couldn't be more frightened and answered even more quickly. "I'm an employee from Seven Stars Enterprise, and I'm here to publish cartoons. The main idea was to incorporate the things we wanted to promote into the cartoons.

"A while ago, I took on a mission and did everything in my power to find the medical literature. I wanted to ship those books back to Eastoria.

"That's all! I've told you everything, so please save me now. Quick! It might be too late if we delay even a second longer!"

Just then, Matthew asked again, "You know the Red Wolves, right?"

Maurice was seen to get progressively anxious and said, "I don't know the Red Wolves. It's the first I've heard of them. I've said everything, so please save me now."

So, he didn't know... Matthew let out a chilling sigh and said, "The trust that I mentioned is only limited to friends. As for thieves... You can see yourself to hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he

lifted the monitor and pounded it into Maurice's skull. Soon, the floor was@overed in glass and debris

from the shattered monitorg

Maurice's skull had been cracked into a bloody mush, and the bright red liquid gushed out while his body slowly collapsed onto the messy floor.

Afterward, Matthew turned to leave with the Scholarly Tradition in hand and wondered about the existence of Seven Stars Enterprise.

It was already frustrating enough to deal with the Red Wolves, but now, Seven Stars Enterprise pooped out of nowhere.noveldrama

Once he exited the main gate, Trevor went up to him and asked, "You got the medical literature?"

Matthew then waved about the book in his hand. "I've got it."

Upon hearing that, Trevor turned to get into the car. "Let's go then. I'll drive."

But as soon as he opened the car door, Matthew pulled Trevor aside and sat in the driver's seat.

Then, he turned to Trevor, who was stunned, and said, "You can't leave yet. You gotta clean the place up."

Huh? Trevor was confused. He was a Major who held an important position in the military, so it couldn't be more humiliating when Matthew asked him to clean the place up Furthermore, the publisher didn't even belong to Matthew, so why

Would he clean the place why

up?

Trevor watched as Matthew drove away and carried a sense of doubt as he entered the publisher.

As of that moment, it had turned into a chaotic mess upstairs. Some of them were calling the police whilst others ran away in shock and fear.

When Trevor finally arrived upstairs,

he almost jumped in fright. There

were two corpses on the floor. Matthew had murdered people, and this was his way of asking Trevor to settle the aftermath.

While Matthew was on the way to the junkyard, Felix popped his head over from the back seat and asked, "Have you gotten the medical literature?"
