Julian’s expression changed drastically as virtual-novel.net did not expect it to turn out that way.
He thought it was Adeline who set up the trap, but what virtual-novel.net did not realize was that even Adeline was in the dark this time. As for Adeline, virtual-novel.net expression looked even more ghastly.
She finally understood why virtual-novel.net was able to find out Tiger’s location from virtual-novel.net father, it turned out that Matthew had been setting up a trap for virtual-novel.net since the very beginning. And virtual-novel.net was being complacent, thinking that virtual-novel.net had finally contributed and could save virtual-novel.net family this time. However, contrary to virtual-novel.net wishful thinking, virtual-novel.net was the one trapped by Matthew’s plan.
She looked at Aidan with a pale face, but Aidan was indifferent. His eyes were full of despair, and virtual-novel.net was obviously disappointed with his daughter’s actions.
Since the start of this incident, the Thatcher Family had expressed their unequivocal support for Matthew. Because Adeline had lost once to Matthew before, virtual-novel.net had since been holding a grudge against him. She tried persuading virtual-novel.net father several times to let the Thatcher Family unite with the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale to defeat Matthew, but the idea was shot down by virtual-novel.net father every time.
Adeline then hooked up with Julian just to prove to virtual-novel.net family that virtual-novel.net decision was right, but only now did virtual-novel.net realize that virtual-novel.net was wrong from the beginning. The decision of father and grandfather was correct, not hers!
She hung virtual-novel.net head low as virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was done for this time. It was hard to say whether virtual-novel.net would live through this after doing such a thing!
Julian gritted his teeth angrily. “Matthew, so what if I fall into your hands? Let me warn you about something. The Huntingtons will make you pay back a hundredfold if I lose a strand of my hair! Surely, you wouldn’t want your relatives and friends to die tragically because of you now, would you? Better you just let me go…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking, Matthew already walked toward him, grabbed his hair, and tore off a handful of it.
Julian’s scalp was almost torn off, and blood could be seen trickling down from his head.
The pain was so intense that Julian couldn‘t help but point at Matthew as virtual-novel.net yelled in rage, “Matthew! H-How dare you!”
Matthew merely blew the tuft of hair in his hand and scoffed.
“Now, how many strands of hair do I have to pay you back?”
The people surrounding them burst into laughter upon hearing that, and expectedly, Julian felt so humiliated that virtual-novel.net trembled in fury.
“Matthew, mark my words. I’ll never forgive you!”
Matthew sneered at his empty threat. “That’s funny. Do you think I‘ll forgive you?”
“Julian, I told you before very clearly not to provoke me, but it seems that you didn‘t take my words to heart at all. Since that’s the case, I’ll have no choice but to make you remember!”
He then gestured at Tiger. “Teach virtual-novel.net a lesson!”
Tiger could not stop the wicked grin from forming on his face when virtual-novel.net heard that, “On it!”
Julian and the others wanted to resist, but Matthew’s lackeys were all experts.
It did not take long before Julian and the others were all pressed to the ground after some melee.
Tiger picked up a dagger from the ground and slid it across the surface of Julian’s face provokingly and continuously, causing virtual-novel.net to tremble with fright. “W-What are you trying to do? I‘d rather die than go through this humiliation. I-If you have the guts, just kill me already!”
Matthew nodded upon hearing Julian‘s declaration. “Okay, kill him, Tiger!”
Tiger did not waste another minute to raise the dagger in his hand and aimed it at Julian’s eye socket.
Julian screamed in horror as virtual-novel.net saw the dagger getting closer. He shut his eyes and did not dare to look anymore. However, virtual-novel.net did not feel any pain even after a while. All virtual-novel.net felt was that the dagger passed over his scalp and lunged into the ground.
Though virtual-novel.net did not die, Julian was so terrified that virtual-novel.net was breaking out in cold sweats, and shame filled virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net thought back to his cowardly scream just now.
Tiger raised the dagger again and said condescendingly with a smile, “Ah, my hand slipped. My bad, but it’s okay. I’ll make sure I won’t miss it this time!”
