The firework was the White Family's exclusive signal that was to be used during a situation when they were in an accident and couldn't call for help. With the firework in the sky, the men under the White Family had to stop whatever they were doing and rush to the site where the firework was released.
Since this firework held such significance, only a few members of the White Family were allowed to use it. Hence, Philip launched the firework to notify his men in the vicinity to rush to his aid.
Even so, Matthew hadn't shown the slightest intention of preventing Philip from launching that firework.
With slight hints of mockery in his faint smile, he said, "Master White, we've come too far for you to fight as though you were a cornered animal."
With a cold expression, Philip replied, "You will know just who the cornered animal is very soon! Hmph, I'll have you know that I was just feigning weakness before this. Did you really think that Iâm afraid of you, Larson? The White Family has a longstanding history here in Eastshire with many connections.
How can the likes of you who only profit off of other people's toil be compared to the White Family? I shall show you the true strength of the White Family today!"
Matthew laughed. "The White Family's true strength? Heh, Philip White, do you know what Poison Spider is doing in Eastshire right now?"
Philip's expression immediately changed, as he had a bad feeling about Matthew's question. "W-What is she doing?" he asked with urgency in his tone.
"The reason why Poison Spider is in Eastshire is to exterminate the White Family! I estimate by now, she has already made her way inside the White Family's residence!"
Philip widened his eyes in bafflement. "T-That's impossible. The White Family hadn't offended Poison Spider, so why would she come at us? Besides, I've already said that my family has a long-standing history here with many connectionsâ"
Matthew immediately interrupted him. "Don't believe me? Come, I'll turn the signal jammer off. Give a call to your house and ask them yourself." Then, he pulled a remote control out and turned the signal jammer off.
The moment the signal jammer was turned off, everyone's phone started to ring. Everyone hurriedly checked their phones; there were missed call notifications and various messages that were sent to the respective family heads by their men. As soon as everyone read the messages, their expressions turned pale before they turned their attention to Philip.
Philip, who had received many messages on his phone as well, became dumbfounded upon reading the latest message by his brother that read, 'Poison Spider killed the old man! The White Family is in danger! Return immediately!'
With his face turning pale from the message he read, Philip clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and glared at Matthew. "Larson, every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. If you have problems with me, then you should take your revenge on me instead! Why did you have to kill my father and my family?!" Read at
