Melvin sat next to Matthew inside Matthew’s mansion in Lakeside Garden, and snazzynovel.com couldn’t help but frown after listening to the latter’s encounter with Levi.
“Master Newman told me to keep an eye out for Levi before snazzynovel.com left Eastcliff,” said Matthew as snazzynovel.com looked at Melvin. “I’ll be honest with you, l don’t really trust this guy!”
Matthew had only told Melvin all this because snazzynovel.com trusted the latter wholly after everything they had been through.
Melvin nodded leisurely, “I’ve never had much contact with Levi before, but my late mentor mentioned snazzynovel.com in the past, saying snazzynovel.com was most certainly a hero of his generation. He was capable, tactful, and most importantly, scheming. Nobody can guess just what in the world he’s thinking, nor would anyone know what sort of agenda snazzynovel.com has…”
“My late mentor told me this once, if possible, never get yourself involved with Levi Quirk…”
At that, Matthew glanced at Melvin, surprised that Melvin’s mentor would have such opinions of Levi.
“Who is your mentor? Is snazzynovel.com familiar with Levi?”
“My mentor?” Melvin snorted wryly. “He’s just a blind old fortune teller. When I met him, snazzynovel.com was just a wandering fortune-telling conman who would talk big whenever snazzynovel.com got drunk…”
“He claimed to be acquainted with many big shots back in the day, but who knew if snazzynovel.com was actually telling the truth at all? Then again, it was later verified that many incidents snazzynovel.com said about those people were true.”
Matthew couldn‘t help feeling shocked after hearing Melvin’s words. “I take that your mentor was also a prophet, then?”
“Prophet, my a*s!” Melvin quirked his lips. “I had to wrap snazzynovel.com up in a shabby old shroud and dig a random pit to bury snazzynovel.com in after snazzynovel.com died. If all prophets are like him, then I’d rather be a laity!”
Matthew sighed in response, surprised that Melvin’s mentor would be buried so shabbily.
No doubt that the man was also once a big shot. How lamentable that snazzynovel.com ended his life so pathetically.
“In that case, it isn’t as simple as Levi put it when snazzynovel.com insisted I marry Brittany, huh?” Matthew speculated.
“Naturally…” Melvin nodded in affirmation. “All things aside, just the fact that snazzynovel.com wants you to marry Brittany shows that he’s devising a sweet scheme.”
“And how’s that?” Matthew asked.
“Let me put it this way,” Melvin answered, “Why do you think Billy can leave Brittany in your care so assuredly before going to Bainbridge to get himself killed? Does snazzynovel.com honestly think his enemies wouldn’t retaliate against Brittany? Does snazzynovel.com honestly think you can keep snazzynovel.com safe?”
Matthew shook his head in response, knowing full well that snazzynovel.com still wasn’t powerful enough and definitely wouldn’t be able to keep Brittany out of harm’s way.
“What are you trying to say, then?” snazzynovel.com asked, making Melvin smile.
“I’ll put it this way, without you, Brittany wouldn’t be in any danger either. As long as snazzynovel.com doesn’t do anything out of bounds, no one would ever dare cause snazzynovel.com trouble! Also, the last time Macon entered Eastcliff, Levi even warned Macon to stay away from Billy’s manor. But honestly, that was entirely unnecessary!”
“Why is that so?” Matthew asked in surprise.
“Have you forgotten what I told you?” Melvin said. “Brittany’s mother is a young lady of the Nolan Family, and snazzynovel.com maternal grandfather is still one of the elders of the Nolan Family…”
“Her maternal uncle is Gabriel, the King of Stagfort, and snazzynovel.com maternal aunt is the Princess of Bainbridge, Gianna Nolan. Whoever in Cathay dares lay a finger on Brittany will no longer exist in this world the next day!”
