Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 447

"Bro, after all these years, you haven't changed a bit," Matthew said with a chuckle.

It sounded like a casual remark about Colin's unchanged appearance, but it subtly implied that Colin hadn't made any progress in life.

"And who's this? A brother from another mother I wasn't aware of?" I looked up at Colin, my tone far from welcoming.

Colin tightened his grip on my fingers. "An unimportant figure," he dismissed.

My words were clearly unwelcoming towards this unexpected brother.

"The lady seems to have taken a dislike to me," Matthew laughed, extending his hand for a handshake. "I'm not here to stir trouble with the locals. I'm actually looking to collaborate with you."

Matthew's sincerity was apparent, but trust was far from being established.

"The Langley Group has been sold off to the All-Stars Consortium, which means members of the Langley family no longer enjoy any benefits from the Group. My brother took a bold move, essentially declaring war on the entire Langley family," Matthew explained, the smile never leaving his face.

I was unsure what he was trying to convey.

"This recent spree of killings has touched upon many dark secrets behind major corporations. Damian was just a doctor..." Matthew leaned in, his voice low enough for just us three to hear. "And the team behind the Gene-Forge Collective is nothing but pawns for the capitalists. The true evil lies where you can't even touch before you become part of the capital."
