Chapter 978 Xavier’s Help
Matthew left the backroom and One Piece Restaurant. Before he entered the car, someone was calling
his name. "Matthew?"
He turned around to see Xavier approaching him, after which he asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
With a grim expression, Xavier flung a punch at Matthew. "Why can't you take good care of Roni?"
Matthew held Xavier's fist before it could reach him. "You're not the only person worrying about Roni. I
am too, but I'm not a prophet. Things can go out of control sometimes. Not everything can be
prevented." He swung Xavier's hand away. "And right now, I don't wanna put up with this pointless fight
with you."
He pulled the car door and hopped on, whereas Xavier took the passenger seat. Matthew looked

"Don't get the wrong idea. I haven't forgiven you yet. I'm just worried about Roni. I don't wish to see her
getting hurt," claimed Xavier, who gazed at the road and buckled the seatbelts.
He dashed to One Piece Restaurant to get to the bottom of it as soon as he found out about Veronica's
disappearance. Who knew that he would bump into Matthew there? Since Veronica's safety was
paramount, he contemplated and decided to work with Matthew to save her.
The car engine was started, and they started their journey. Matthew piped up, "Thanks." It was difficult
to hear those words from him, but he owed Xavier too much when it came to Veronica.
"Pretentious." Xavier scoffed and cut to the chase. "What happened?"
"It's probably Crayson's doing. The hidden clan possesses a secret skill that seals one's memory. He
thought I was the force that influenced Veronica's decision to leave the hidden clan. That's why he
wanted to eliminate me. Now that his plan had failed, he decided to kidnap her. I guess he wanna seal
her memories so that she can be the leader of the hidden clan." It was a cinch for Matthew to figure out
who the mastermind was.
"Ridiculous!" Xavier roared. "Where are we supposed to find him?"
"Someone will give us the answer."
"Who?"
"Dominik," claimed Matthew confidently.
Xavier could not understand the reason behind Matthew's certainty. "How are you so sure he'll know
where Roni is?"
"Before the hunting festival, Crayson kidnapped Tiffany to seal her memories, but Dominik managed to
save her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBack then, Matthew and Veronica waited for Crayson at Mountainside Gardens the whole day. He
returned in the evening, and they thought Tiffany's memory was sealed, so they headed to the hunting
ceremony, where Veronica met Tiffany and Dominik.
That was when Veronica realized Crayson had failed his part because Dominik saved Tiffany.
"Even if he knows the place, how will you persuade him to help you?" Xavier's question hit right at the
mark.
Matthew watched the road and drove the car seriously. Thousand of ideas flew across his mind as he
contemplated the problem.
Xavier continued, "From what I know, Dominik and Zac are working together to kill you and Roni." He
shook his head and smiled mockingly, making the scar on his face more visible to the eyes. "Your
enemies are everywhere, and I just don't get why Roni likes you."
