Chapter 1198 Let’s Play a Game However, these two were covered in injuries and beaten beyond recognition, especially Johnny, who had both of his hands cut off, and there was no part of him which was complete. He looked incredibly miserable.

Everyone was paralyzed with shock. These two men were the masters of the two biggest families in Eastcliff, and this was what happened to them?

What is happening now?

As for the other four masters of the family who had rushed over, all they felt was relief in their hearts.

Luckily, they had come to Matthew, or else their ending may be worse than these two!

Finally, they knew what he meant when he said ‘at your own risks’; if they hadn’t come over, the crown prince would be knocking on their doors.

And the crown prince was not such an easy person to negotiate with!

“Thank you!” Matthew said, bowing to the crown prince.

The crown prince waved his hand impatiently. “No problem. I paid back what I owed you, so we’re even now. But I have to tell you again: Don’t get in my way in the future. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!” After saying that, he turned and wanted to leave.

However, Matthew suddenly called out, “Wait a minute!”

“What is it?” he asked with a frown.

Chuckling softly, Matthew then said, “I would like to play a game later, and I’m thinking of borrowing your cards for that. Would you like to stick around for the show?”

Hearing that, the crown prince was immediately interested, and his face was filled with excitement.

“Really? Of course that’s fine by me. I love interesting games like these the most! Hang on. I’ll get someone to bring the stuff over.”

Happily, he took a seat at the side while Matthew had someone drag Robert and Johnny to the front.

Now, all the masters of the Ten Greatest Families were gathered.

Even though Robert and Johnny were awakened with cold water, they were still shivering because the terror of being tortured by the crown prince were clearly etched in their minds.

Standing in front of them, Matthew said coldly, “I guess both of you are very clear of the reason you were invited over here this evening. I’ve always been one to draw a clear line between love and hate.

Although there were no grudges between us, you added to my misfortune when I was faking my death.

Don’t you think you’ll have to pay the price for this incident?”

The masters from the six families looked at each other, but in the end, they turned to Robert and Johnny, who were the leaders of the Ten Greatest Families.

With a pale face, Robert hissed through gritted teeth. “We admit we did wrong this time. What kind of price do you want us to pay, Matthew?”

Snorting lightly, Matthew then answered, “Don’t worry. I’m an impartial person. See, the crown prince has a fun game. Let’s play a round, and I’ll write off everything for whoever beats me in the game.

However, the loser has to pay a price to compensate me. I wonder what everyone thinks of this.”

The masters of the six families looked at each other again, and Johnny asked loudly, “What game are you playing?”

“Texas poker!” Matthew answered with a chuckle.

Instantly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they weren’t experts in gambling, they were aware that it was based on luck. So, it wasn’t guaranteed that Matthew could win!

“Okay, we’ll play with you, then.” Robert agreed.

Soon, the crown prince’s men rushed over, bringing with them the equipment for his card game.

A blank look flashed across the faces of the six masters when they saw the glass table covered with a piece of cloth, not knowing what was going on. But when Matthew lifted the cloth, they were all stunned to see what was underneath.

“W-What are you doing with this?” Arthur stammered, sounding especially terrified because the thing he was most afraid of was snakes.

A grin spread across Matthew’s face. “This is Texas poker. The cards will be thrown in, and everyone can grab their own cards. The one with the biggest card is the winner. The game is fair, equal, and open. Is there any problem?”
