Chapter 3468 Schemes

Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly. For someone to claim familiarity with him-the leader of Virtue Hall-right to his face, this young man was either bluffing or had plans to exploit him.

"Matteo, I admire you. Do you know why?" Instead of answering the question directly, the young man changed the subject, smiling as he posed his own question.

Matthew shook his head slightly, his expression indifferent.

From the sincerity in his tone, anyone else might have believed the young man truly intended to help Matthew.
