Chapter 525 Upon hearing Horace's words, Dallas walked up to Matthew without a second thought and passed him the phone.

"Mr. Wood, the general, wants to speak with you."

General? Horace's reputation didn't even match up to Brad, so how did he make it to the top? Still, Horace held a powerful position and commanded a huge army.

Matthew had seen Horace's ruthless side before. As he looked at the phone, he raised an eyebrow.

Dallas spotted Matthew blankly standing on his spot and ridiculed, "What's wrong? Are you scared now?"

Watching the scene unfold, Sebastian felt his heart jump to his throat. Who wouldn't be shaking in their boots after crossing paths with someone like Horace?

However, Matthew coldly snorted. He grabbed the phone and hit the speaker button before saying, "Hello."

Horace's aged, authoritative voice came through the phone. "Are you the one trying to kill Dallas?"

He spoke just a few words, yet they carried an air of authority. The tension in the air was palpable. With the phone on speaker, everyone in the room heard it loud and clear.
