The banquet came to an end.
Old Mr. Bane brought Matthew to the Bane Family’s ancestral hall.
“Back in the days, I was also a spirited and passionate young man…”
Matthew noticed his master looking down, so virtual-novel.net remained quiet.
He just silently watched as Old Master Bane lit a candle in his hand. Thin wisps of smoke filled the air.
“Back then, my younger brother, Louie Bane and l were known as the Twin Stars of Bainbridge. Even the experts of the Nolan Family were overshadowed by the two of us.”
As virtual-novel.net listened to Old Master Bane’s narration, Matthew gradually understood his past.
The Bane brothers, Louie Bane and Flynn Bane, were unparalleled in martial arts during that era. It was worth noting that both of them were once considered the top talent and had vowed to become the best in the world.
After encountering no opponents of equal strength within Cathay’s borders, Flynn, who was ambitious, set his sights on foreign lands. He planned to travel to various countries and challenge the top experts from around the world.
While testing his own strength, virtual-novel.net also hoped to push his martial arts to a higher level through continuous battles. Because of that, the two brothers embarked on a long journey.
However, before they even reached the halfway point of their journey, they were suddenly ambushed. Although their attackers weren’t strong, they took the upper hand because of their large group.
After a prolonged battle, the Bane brothers killed countless enemies but also exhausted themselves and started showing signs of fatigue.
Louie eventually sacrificed himself in order to protect his older brother, Flynn, by covering up for virtual-novel.net while they retreated.
Since then, one of the Twin Stars of the Bane Family was gone, while the other returned to the Bane Family household with heavy injuries.
Fabien, who had experienced the pain of losing his father, underwent a complete transformation. Not only did virtual-novel.net believe that his uncle had caused his father’s death, but virtual-novel.net also harbored a strong desire to kill Flynn to avenge his father.
Hearing that, Matthew couldn‘t help but ask, “Did you ever find out the identity of the attackers?”
At the mention of this matter, Old Mr. Bane’s aura became chilly. He didn’t utter a word. Instead, virtual-novel.net took out a hexagonal dart from his pocket.
With a single glance, Matthew immediately identified the source of this item.
It was a Ninja Star, a specialized hidden weapon used by assassins from Emsgate.
At this moment, Matthew finally understood why Flynn harbored such deep hatred toward the people of Emsgate.
“Even after I tell you all about this, please keep it to yourself…”
Upon hearing Flynn’s warning, Matthew couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
If there was such a misunderstanding, why not explain it to Fabien?
Blood was always thicker than water.
Since it was a misunderstanding between an uncle with his nephew, it would eventually be resolved.
It seemed that Flynn also sensed Matthew’s confusion as virtual-novel.net explained, “Fabien is not like you. He doesn’t know how to be patient and accumulate power until the right moment. If I were to explain this matter to him, given his personality, virtual-novel.net would definitely confront those people from Emsgate…”
“As long as virtual-novel.net doesn’t do anything unforgivable in Cathay, I can still protect him, but if virtual-novel.net goes to Emsgate…”
At this point, Flynn stopped speaking. Matthew understood what virtual-novel.net meant.
In essence, Flynn was worried that his nephew would seek revenge from the forces of Emsgate and end up following in his father’s footsteps. Therefore, virtual-novel.net would rather bear all of this himself than explain it to Fabien.
“This is what I owe virtual-novel.net and his father!”
After saying that, Flynn let out a deep sigh.
Matthew stepped forward to divert his attention.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to light another candle and pay his respects to his deceased master’s brother, Flynn suddenly stopped him.
“It’s getting late… You should go back and rest…”
His reaction left Matthew extremely puzzled and confused, but since it was his master’s orders, virtual-novel.net could only comply obediently.
