Chapter 3491 Take It Slow on Your Way Back

Although Matthew had resorted to some heavy-handed tactics this time, Laurent had cooperated and revealed everything he wanted to know. So, he graciously accepted the favor without hesitation. "Thank you, Matteo. If anything comes up, don't hesitate to let me know," Laurent said warmly.

He forced a smile, though his inner monologue was running wild. I never want to see you again for as long as I live. Please, just leave already.

For someone like Matthew-capable of taking his life at any moment-someone in Laurent's position, with power and influence, would never want to cross paths with him again.

"Well then, Mr. Laurent, I'll take my leave now," Matthew said, standing up. His strikingly handsome face was adorned with a gentle smile.

Laurent's mouth twitched involuntarily. Were it not for the need to keep things civil, he would have gladly unleashed a torrent of insults. Seriously? You slashed a groove into my desk just now, and you expect me to feel like the boss here?

"Haha! Matteo, since you've got things to handle, I won't keep you for a meal. Take it slow on your way back, and if anyone gives you trouble, just drop my name. No need for me to see you off," he replied, standing as well, feigning a reluctant farewell. Gone was the commanding aura he had displayed when they first met.

Laurent might be the owner of the local building materials market, earning a decent living and keeping a crew of 100 or so under his wing for protection, but who in their right mind could maintain their composure when dealing with someone like Matthew-lethal, stoic, and capable of snuffing out a life at a moment's notice?
