Chapter 723

The crowd burst into an uproar at this. Who could have thought that something as grisly as this would happen before their very eyes?

While everyone was gasping and panicking, more men were rushing toward the villa as though they were the human equivalent of angry rapids.

From their vantage point, it was hard for the guests to make out the number of people who were barging in from the outside, but it was unmistakable that the entire landscape beyond the villa was packed to the brim with men.

Upon seeing this, President White shuddered, and he suddenly realized that the situation was getting out of hand.

There was something off about this whole thing, seeing as Matthew was still alive and Tiger had assembled an intimidating motley crew to break into this place.

President White had set up everything in Lakeside Garden precisely because it was Billy’s territory in the first place. He couldn’t understand why Tiger and these men could storm in at their own whim and fancy without Billy’s orders.

Now that Tiger had made his way into the place with his mammoth crew, President White instantly knew that Billy was behind this sudden invasion.

At the thought of this, he felt his blood run cold.

Declan had told him that all this was orchestrated against Stanley exclusively and that these plans would not lure Billy out.

However, it was clear to see that the head of the White Family had miscalculated!

The man whose tongue had been cut off was currently rolling around on the ground in agony, and his blood was splattered over Tiger’s legs.

At the sight of the crimson blood sprayed over his pants, Tiger was infuriated as he snapped, “Stop rolling around, goddamnit! You got blood all over me! Have you no manners? For God’s sake, someone keep an eye on him. If he doesn’t stop rolling around, cut off all his limbs, and let’s see if he won’t stop then!”

Upon hearing this, a couple of aggressive-looking men marched over and surrounded the wounded man, who immediately froze. He stopped wailing, and he dared not move a muscle for fear that he might die on the spot.

With a grimace, Tiger turned and swept his icy gaze over the crowd, then barked loudly, “To hell with all of you! Didn’t you hear what Mr. Matthew Larson just said? All of you who have nothing to do with this, get out right now! I’m going to count to ten, and if you don’t leave by then, I’m going to make mincemeat out of all of you!”

Having said that, he gave the guests no time to react as he immediately leaped into the countdown, yelling, “One! Two! Three!”

The guests began to clamor for the exit as the countdown went on, practically stampeding over each other as they rushed out the doors. Tiger was far too aggressive for them to not take seriously.

Among those who scrambled to leave were Gordon and his men, but just as they were reaching the door, Tiger’s men blocked their way.

Tiger thundered when he saw them, “Do you think you have nothing to do with this? Did I say you could leave? None of you are going to get one foot out of those doors!”

Gorden blanched at this and hastily countered, “M-Master Tiger, I have nothing to do with any of this.

This is solely a matter of the White Family. I-I’m just here to attend the banquet—”

Tiger shot him a deadly look. “You damn well know that you’ve played a part in this. Don’t think that nobody’s heard of your shady backdoor negotiations. A manor in the outskirts of town, am I right? That was where Liam and Demi went!”

Gordon and the others immediately faltered. Not even in their wildest dreams did they think that Tiger would find out about the deal they had made in the beginning. As things were, they could no longer wash their hands off this.

Meanwhile, when President White saw how things had panned out, he knew that the plan was falling apart.

He abruptly rushed out of the house with a dagger in hand, aiming the weapon at Sasha as he roared, “You better watch yourself, Matthew Larson, or I’m going to kill her—”

However, before he could finish his threat, Matthew leaped from the terrace, looking as graceful as a panther. He made jumping from the terrific height look as easy as walking on flat ground.

Gaining momentum, he landed a rough kick on President White’s chest, bringing the latter crashing to the ground.

The older man coughed out blood as he struggled beneath Matthew’s foot, but he was firmly pinned to the ground.

While this was happening, Tiger’s men hurtled forward and apprehended all the men who worked for President White.

Sasha, on the other hand, hurriedly threw herself into Matthew’s arms, then clutched him desperately as she sobbed.

He patted her gently on the shoulder, consoling her as he murmured, “There, there. Everything’s fine now. I’m sorry for being late. I should have saved you sooner!”

Having cried herself wordlessly, she shook her head vehemently and burrowed deeper into his embrace, clinging onto him stubbornly.

Regardless of what had happened, she was grateful enough to see him alive still, and it was the best thing she could ask for.

He muttered soothing words of solace while patting her shoulder, and it was only after she had calmed down that he asked a couple of men to escort her to the side so she could catch her breath.

A hard look came into his eyes at that moment. It’s time for me to settle the score with the Whites!
