MainNovelChapter 2723 | Give You a Chance To Redeem Yourself
Matthew chuckled, glancing at the puzzled crowd, and said, "I told you there wouldn't be any surprises. Can't you
trust me?"
While speaking, he leisurely took off his mask. Following the initial shock, he had already figured out the purpose
of the Desmares mask. It significantly amplified his spiritual power and vision, but it also stirred up inner hostility
in the wearer.
By using the nimbus to suppress the hostility within the mask, it would appear as a regular mask to others.
However, it still retained a slightly eerie and sinister appearance.
Naturally, if someone with weak willpower were to wear this mask, it could turn them into a puppet controlled by
it. This transformation would effectively make them into a killing machine.
Overall, Matthew found the mask quite satisfying. He said, "Mr. Solon, I'm truly grateful for this gift. In return, I'll
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtassist you in getting out of this predicament."
Even without knowing the mask's function, Solon, having faced an impending doom earlier, realized it wasn't
ordinary. He questioned how something he had created could now be turned against him. He sarcastically
inquired with a bitter tone, "Do you really have such a kind heart?"
Matthew responded with seriousness, "Your current situation should be of greater concern than questioning the
benevolence of my heart."
He continued, "I'll give you one last chance. Tellwhere the Keller Family obtained this item. Additionally,
every year, the Keller Family's Victorious Cruise follows a consistent route. Why, then, does it take a month to
complete a ten-day journey? Is there a hidden secret behind this?"
Solon's eyes widened in horror as he gazed at Matthew, his breath involuntarily growing heavier. "You know
about this too?"
Following the proverbial wisdom, those who played with fire were likely to get burned. The Keller Family's
secretive collaboration involving the Victorious Cruise had already sparked suspicions from the head of the
Durham Family.
With a calm demeanor, Matthew looked at Solon and cautioned him, word by word. "Solon, this is your last
chance. Share all the internal information you possess, and I'll provide you with a chance for a fresh start. I'm not
here to interrogate. It's purely out of respect for this mask." With that, he raised the mask in his hand and waved
it in front of Solon.
Solon had gradually let go of his defense as Matthew continuously revealed his secrets. It dawned on Solon that
he not only lacked strength but also fell significantly behind in mental strategy. Essentially, he couldn't outwit
Matthew.
Solon took a deep breath and spoke deliberately. "Ask everyone else to leave. Right now, | just want to converse
with you."
Following a quick exchange of glances with Matthew, the crown prince gestured for his subordinates to leave the
room and then closed the door.
Solon began, "I don't expect to turn the tables. | hope that, after sharing this with you, you can safely send me
back to the Durham Family."
He continued, "Your deduction was spot on. The Keller Family's Victorious Cruise is indeed engaged in
undisclosed operations. | don't have all the specifics, but it's certainly linked to the black box incident. The Elder
Council of our family dispatchedto investigate, disguised as participation in gambling."
Curious, Matthew interjected, "Is your family aiming to regain control of the black box's product?" He pondered,
Similar to my Desmares mask, which, while affecting the host's character, significantly boosts their strength.
Solon added, "That's one facet of it. In comparison, the Durham Family is more focused on safeguarding their
reputation. Finances and personnel csecond. The Keller Family secretly excavating in our Durham Family's
territory is a direct affront to our family."
Matthew nodded in agreement. This prioritization of reputation over everything else was a shared characteristic
among the major families. Behind the veneer of reputation lay matters of authority, a perspective he could
understand.
