Chapter 1478

The other six family heads were still in shock, as they did not expect Master Wayne would dare voice

his support for Matthew so openly. In their eyes, the Wayne Family was just a trivial family that had a

small say among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. However, as soon as they heard Matthew's

words, their expressions immediately changed; they finally understood that he was trying to curry favor

with Matthew right now. With the involvement of Poison Spider, the White Family was all but finished

after today.

Master Wayne chose to extend his aid to Matthew at such a time, as it was not only safe to do so right

now, but he would also be able to obtain Matthew's gratitude and might even gain more benefits from

Matthew in the future. Even if he did not take into account all these factors, Cunningham

Pharmaceuticals' new drug alone was just too enticing to pass up. Just an extra share of that piece of

pie was worth nearly ten billion in revenue.

Hence, the rest of the family heads concluded that those who offered their help to Matthew right now

would be able to obtain much more benefits down the road. Secretly cursing Master Wayne for being

cunning in seizing such an opportunity first, they ordered in a panic for their men to protect Matthew

too, as they were unwilling to show any vulnerability. There were even some of the family heads that

had given the order to deal with the men of the White Family. All in all, the seven family heads were

now on Matthew's side.

After watching this scene unfold before him, Philip gave up hope of trying to kill Matthew today. Initially,

he wanted to use numbers to go against Matthew, but now that the other family heads had sided with

Matthew, the number of people on Matthew's side far outnumbered his men.

After flashing a forlorn smile, Philip snarled, "You bunch of traitorous ingrates! Did all of you think that

you'll obtain great benefits from helping Matthew today? I'm telling you that that's impossible! Larson is

just as perverted as the crown prince; they are birds of a feather! That man dangled that offer to you all

to divide us now, so that he can conquer us one by one at a later date! When my family is

exterminated, he will come after all of you next! The Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire will fall due to

your greed!"

Nevertheless, the other family heads remained silent and looked at Philip indifferently. Since they had

made their choice in siding with Matthew, they would no longer be moved by Philip's words.

With his arms behind him, Matthew stood up before he said calmly, "Philip White, you can cease the

nonsense now! Let's end this between us today!"

Philip fixed a death stare at Matthew before nodding. "Fine. I'd like to see just how capable of a brat

you are!" Then, he took a step forward and slowly crossed his arms in front of his chest. Suddenly, he

clenched his fists fiercely with his sleeves slightly torn from his bulging arms' muscles.

Everyone let out a cry of shock after witnessing what was happening. It was important to note that even

though the other family heads usually did not get their hands dirty themselves, they weren't weak in the

slightest, as they couldn't stand out in their respective families without any prowess of their own, after

all.

The people's eyes were extremely keen, for the family heads realized just how strong Philip was with

that one move. Up until this moment, since he hadn't shown his personal strength, as the bodyguards

around him would usually solve his problems for him, the other family heads had suspected that his

strength was subpar and not worth mentioning. None of them had expected that he had actually kept

his true power hidden.
