Chapter 247 At a certain pub in Northspring…
Jackie was respectfully standing in front of a pale-faced young man with black circles around his eyes.
He said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Zachry, we must show this kid some lessons later for spoiling your plan!”
Mr. Zachry’s name was Matthew Zachry. He had seen Cecile’s photo before. Even though Cecile was
wearing washed-out clothes in the photo, she looked gorgeous. When he saw the photo, he couldn’t
believe that a person could look so good without dressing up. When the Redcliffs heard that Cecile had
received a large sum of compensation money after Timothy fell to his death, Jackie was stunned after
following his family to Timothy’s house and seeing the rumored adopted daughter of his uncle. At that
time, he decided on the spot to offer Cecile to Matthew in exchange for a job opportunity beside him. Yet,
someone came and foiled his plan today. He immediately informed Matthew, and as he expected,
Matthew flew into a rage and sent someone over there.
Fortunately, he had someone inform him what had happened in Cecile’s house, so Matthew sent his men

In the meantime, Matthew also hired a highly skilled fighter to help him deal with Kayson.
A hint of coldness crossed Matthew’s pale face as he said, “There hasn’t been a single time I can’t get
the woman I want. I won’t let those who dare to get in my way off the hook so easily!”
While he was talking, a blue-clad old man in his 60s came in. Matthew hastily rose to his feet and
greeted him, “Mr. Hoffman!”
“Let’s drop the formalities, Mr. Zachry.” Otto smiled at him. “Is the kid that offended you here yet?”
Matthew replied, “He’s on his way. I’m expecting you to take care of him when he arrives, Mr. Hoffman.
Also, I heard from my men that he’s a skilled fighter. He can defeat a dozen people in a few minutes.
That’s something that will only happen in a movie.” Otto was slightly taken aback. “Hmm? In that case,
he might be a body practitioner.” Matthew then said ingratiatingly, “He’s merely a body practitioner. I’m
sure he’s nowhere near your level.” Listing his head high confidently, Otto said, “That’s for sure. He is no
match for me even if he is an energy user, let alone a body practitioner.” Suddenly, the manager of the
pub rushed in nervously. “This is bad, Mr. Zachry! Rowena’s brother is here!”
Matthew’s face sank when he heard what the manager said. “Just chase him out. Why do you have to
come and inform me about it?”
“It’s not that we don’t want to chase him out,” replied the manager, his voice faltering. “Her brother is
strong. None of the security guards can hold him back!
“What?” Matthew was stunned. “A bunch of losers! There are so many of you, and you can’t hold back
one person?”
Otto chimed in. “Do you want me to go down there and check it out?”
Matthew’s expression changed, and he said, “I’d greatly appreciate it, Mr. Hoffman.” He had heard from
his father that Otto was a highly skilled fighter, but he had never seen him in action before.
Therefore, this was the best chance for him to see his skills.
They all went downstairs. It was a mess downstairs. The floor was littered with broken stuff, and a dark-

understand why your security guards are no match for him, Mr. Zachry. He’s an energy user. He isn’t
someone an ordinary person can hold back.”
Matthew looked fretfully at the security guards on the floor. All of them were skilled fighters, but the fact
they stood no chance against the man in front of him showed how powerful he was.
At that moment, the man called Hendery stood up and stared at Matthew with his bloodshot eyes.
“It’s you, right? You’re the bast*rd who crippled my sister!” It went without saying that Matthew wouldn’t
be afraid of him since he had Otto on his side.
“Your sister should feel grateful that I would take a fancy to her, but she’s an ingrate. It’s considered
merciful that I didn’t kill her, and you still have the nerves to come to cause a mess here? It seems like
both of you really have a death wish!” Hendery’s face turned grim as he hissed. “You b*stard!”
