Matthew was filled with murderous intent.

Soldiers were trained to fight on the battlefield, guard the borders, and rescue people from disasters. But they should never point their guns at civilians.

Yet, they were aiming their weapons at Matthew. Unable to contain himself, he pointed at Trevor. "What are you doing? Are you really going to shoot me?" Trevor was taken aback. With so many guns pointed at Matthew, he didn't expect Matthew to stand his ground defiantly.

He wasn't planning to pull the trigger. After all, he just wanted to intimidate Matthew to back down. As long as Isaac wasn't in danger, Trevor's mission was completed. But when his eyes fell on the Juprus Ring on Matthew's finger, Trevor's expression changed. He immediately shouted at his men, "Lower your weapons!"

The soldiers moved in perfect unison. Their hands gripped their rifles with the barrels pointed skyward.

Isaac frowned. "What's going on here? I ordered you to kill him! Did you hear me?"

Suddenly, Trevor shouted, "Salute!" His voice was hoarse and raw, as if he was straining every muscle just to shout the command.

The sound boomed through the room, with echoes reverberating like thunder.

The soldiers snapped to attention, and they saluted in perfect synchronization. Despite their small number, their collective salute had the force of a roaring wave.noveldrama

Isaac was dumbfounded. These soldiers had never shown the heir of the Wood family with such respect. Yet now, they were saluting Matthew, an unremarkable figure.

Isaac was terrified and retreated as Matthew advanced toward him with a stool. He yelled at Trevor, "What are you waiting for? Shoot him! He's

coming to kill me. If anything happens to me, none of you will survive."

Trevor's expression remained stoic as he continued to hold the salute and stayed still.

Matthew saw Isaac's defiance and swung the stool at him. Isaac was horrified, and he stumbled backward. Ronald immediately grabbed a stool to block the attack. Matthew's stool smashed into Ronald's with a force that sent splinters flying everywhere.

With the stool reduced to two legs, Matthew used them like a club. He swung the right one in a swift arc and bit Ronald's head. The stool leg snapped upon impact.

Ronald was sent sprawling to the ground before he could even throw a punch.

Matthew tossed the broken leg aside and grabbed another stool as he advanced toward Isaac.

Isaac backed away in terror until his back hit the wall. With nowhere else to run, he panicked and shouted, "Hey, Grant! You better not touch me!
