Darren responded, “The exact reason is still unclear for now. It seems like it’s the trouble that the Logan family had stirred up before. They took advantage of the Logan family’s current vulnerability to seek revenge. On one hand, they’ve brought down several of the Logan family’s companies. On the other hand, they’ve been causing all sorts of disturbances at various business premises owned by the Logan family, creating quite a ruckus.” 

Matthew found the matter very strange and asked, “Which family is it? Do you know?” 

With such a commotion, it was impossible not to know who the other party was. 

Darren nodded, but his expression was somewhat peculiar as he responded, “I-It’s the Massey family.” 

“The Massey family?” Upon hearing that, Matthew was somewhat surprised. “Does the Massey family really have such capability? No matter what, the Logan family was once a first-rate family in Bartitsu Guild. Their decline was due to the Gordon family’s affairs, but their overall strength was not bad at all. How could the Massey family possibly have defeated the Logan family?” 

That was exactly what Darren found strange. “I’ve looked into it. The Massey family and the Logan family weren’t on good terms. Years ago, the Logan family was always bullying others because of their power, wanting to swallow up the properties of several families, including the Massey family. However, the Massey family managed to hold on and didn’t let the Logan family get what they wanted. That’s how the feud between the two families started. Later, during the election for the district president, the Logan family made a move against the Gordon family, and the Massey family got involved. The feud grew deeper and deeper. It seems that because of this, the Massey family started to come up with schemes. Logically speaking, the Massey family shouldn’t be as powerful as the Logan family. But what’s strange about this incident is that the Massey family acted swiftly and decisively. Not only did they catch the Logan family off guard, but they also inflicted heavy losses on them without suffering any damage themselves. The fact that they could fight the Logan family to this extent and still come out unscathed shows that the Massey family’s current strength is far beyond what we thought.” 

Upon hearing that, Matthew narrowed his eyes. “Are you suggesting that the Massey family deliberately concealed their strength? So, from the current perspective, could the Massey family actually rank among the first-rate families?” 

Darren hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “You could say that, but up until now, I haven’t been able to figure out why the Massey family’s strength has increased so rapidly and why they would want to hide their power.” 

After careful consideration, Matthew felt increasingly uneasy, prompting him to be on high alert. “Keep a low profile. This path, I’m afraid, might turn us into the second Gordon family. Keep a closer eye on the Massey family. If necessary, feel free to probe a bit to see just how strong the Massey family really is.” 

Darren nodded. “Yes.” 

Then, Matthew asked, “How is Howard doing now? Is there still hope for him?” 

Speaking of which, Darren moistened the corner of his lips and said, “Even if he could be saved, he would still be crippled.”

Matthew was unperturbed. “Since he’s already a discarded piece, there’s no need to keep him around. It’s better to avoid him spilling any secrets. Find some time and send someone to take care of him. Also, what’s the current situation with the Logan family? With the head of the family in this state, there must be some who can’t hold back anymore, right?” 

“Mr. Lozano, you truly have a knack for predicting things. Now that Howard has fallen, the Logan family has started infighting. They’ve even stopped caring about their businesses, all vying for the position of family head. It looks like it’s going to get bloody.” 

Matthew sneered, “A bunch of good-for-nothings. The Logan family is already on the decline, yet they still vie for the position of family head. What’s the point? It would be better to abandon the sinking ship and find a strong ally. These people are so brainless, preferring to be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion. There’s no need to bother with them. I believe they’ll soon realize that there’s no hope of survival…” 

Darren nodded thoughtfully, then asked, “So… Mr. Lozano, are we just going to let the Gordon family matter slide? And what about the five districts? Are we not going to fight for the districts?” 

Clearly, Darren had hit a sore point. Matthew’s face immediately fell when he heard that. He shot Darren a sidelong glance and asked fiercely, “I do want to fight, but how should I go about it right now? Why don’t you suggest something?” 

Darren was taken aback for a moment. “Well…” 

“Hmph! You’re useless! You can’t even come up with a solution, yet you have the audacity to question me. What good are you?” Matthew roared. 

Whenever that was brought up, Matthew was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent. All he could do was scold Darren harshly. 

Darren hung his head low, not daring to even breathe. He silently chastised himself for speaking out of turn and could only bear it in silence.
