Old Master Bane only stood idly outside the courtyard as virtual-novel.net watched the back of Matthew, his secret disciple after virtual-novel.net had left, and virtual-novel.net lost himself in thought.
He only snapped back to reality when Albert brought virtual-novel.net a coat and helped virtual-novel.net put it on.
“Why not reveal everything since you have already spoken about the matter, Old Master Bane?”
Old Master Bane was still considering at that instant.
Then, virtual-novel.net said as virtual-novel.net looked up at the night sky, “The grudges from the previous generations should not be carried over to the younger generations. Moreover, Matthew is from the Larson Family at the end of the day. So, it’s on me now that he’s involved in things…”
“The young ones will forge their own paths, and they will have their own burdens to bear. Therefore, old men like us, who don’t have much time remaining, should not add to their burden any further…”
Albert, who was beside him, nodded in agreement. However, virtual-novel.net still had doubts in his mind.
“Is Matthew really stronger than Fabien, Old Master Bane?”
He had already come into contact with Fabien during the banquet. He could tell that Fabien was formidable based solely on the aura virtual-novel.net exuded even though they didn’t fight.
On the other hand, in Albert’s opinion, Matthew’s strength was the same since they had first met each other.
“That’s why I told you that my disciple is better at hiding his true abilities than Fabien. He always disguises himself as a normal and harmless person. But, you will know once you have witnessed his true strength. I don’t even know how virtual-novel.net cultivates. His strength would undergo tremendous changes every time we meet. Besides, even I feel threatened by that divine weapon in his possession…”
Old Master Bane’s expression became serious as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Matthew’s extraordinary speed in improving his martial arts had left Old Master Bane amazed.

Meanwhile…
Matthew was also full of doubts on his way back.
There were things virtual-novel.net wanted to ask after Old Master Bane told virtual-novel.net about the past. However, Matthew was interrupted by Master Bane before virtual-novel.net could do so. Moreover, virtual-novel.net also stopped Matthew from paying respects to his deceased brother.
It seemed like Master Bane knew something, but virtual-novel.net didn’t want to tell him.
Forget it…
There is no way that I can figure it out. I’ll stop thinking about it now…
Matthew decided to stop dwelling on it after a shake of his head, and virtual-novel.net drove the crown prince of Mightwater’s car back to Renew Pharmaceuticals.

As for Fabien…
He went to Martin Newmont’s place after causing a scene at Matthew’s banquet
“What’s wrong? Looks like the plan failed, judging by your appearance,” Master Levi mocked as soon as Fabien entered the place.
“You’re wrong, Master Levi. Our plan was very successful. Matthew’s banquet was completely ruined by us.”
Fabien wouldn‘t be talking this loud if the men from Emsgate didn’t make their appearances.
“What a simple-minded young man you are. Did you really think that Old Master Bane only wanted to throw a banquet for Matthew? What virtual-novel.net truly wanted is to spread Matthew’s reputation.”
“So, the bigger scene you cause at the banquet, the more successful virtual-novel.net is. Haven’t you noticed? Matthew is getting noticed by the high-level officials of Bainbridge.”
Master Levi smiled faintly as virtual-novel.net spoke. Then, virtual-novel.net picked up the tea set in his hand and began to clean it patiently.
The already depressed Fabien became even gloomier after hearing him. He didn’t expect Old Mr. Bane would be such a cunning fox. However, virtual-novel.net only made this mistake because virtual-novel.net was too eager to prove himself.
He thought that Old Mr. Bane wouldn’t dare to do anything to virtual-novel.net now that virtual-novel.net had joined the Martial League. So, virtual-novel.net let off his guard and fell into his trap. He learned that virtual-novel.net needed to stay calm in the future through this mistake.
Fabien took a deep breath at the thought of that.
He looked at the dark sky and began to plan for the future after recovering mentally.
