StartNovelChapter 2698 Brett's Escape
"What a stroke of luck! He didn't even die from this!" exclaimed the crown prince as he examined the severed
arm that his subordinates had retrieved. His face displayed a mix of surprise and amazement. He hadn't
anticipated that even an anti-tank rocket hadn't managed to kill Brett.
"Surviving is one thing, but as a one-armed sniper, he's practically useless," remarked Matthew.
After finishing his statement, Matthew's gaze turned towards Fitz, who was boasting with his subordinates not far
away.
"Did you all witness my heroic and magnificent stance just now? During the standoff, were you able to capture
my heroic image?" Fitz asked.
Initially, Matthew was somewhat bewildered by this, thinking Fitz was remarkably carefree. To his astonishment,
it appeared that someone had actually taken pictures.
"Fitz, Fitz! | have the pictures! Ultra-wide-angle, 150 million pixels!" exclaimed the person who had taken the
pictures.
As soon as these words were spoken, Fitz and the others quickly gathered around, followed by a chorus of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtadmiration.
"Hahaha, develop them! | want to frthem and hang them by my bedside!"
Hearing their playful banter, Matthew couldn't help but shake his head at the entire spectacle.
However, despite his quirkiness, Matthew still appreciated Fitz.
The reinforcements summoned by the crown prince's subordinates numbered only around two hundred, while
they faced an enemy force of 700-800 from the assassination team. The fact that they resolved the situation
perfectly without any casualties was mostly credited to Fitz.
With courage, cunning, and ruthlessness, Fitz displayed great promise despite the occasional foolishness brought
about by the crown prince's influence.
"Prince, your right-hand man is quite impressive. Perhaps I'll take stto mentor him. Properly nurturing
him might lead to him becoming a notable figure in the future," Matthew suggested.
After that, he instructed, "Clean up this area and handle the seized firearms as you see fit. Keep what's suitable
and send the rest to Hulwin. They need reinforcements on that side."
Although Hulwin had received substantial supplies requested from the Martial League by Matthew, it was still far
from being fully equipped.
In Matthew's view, Hulwin held a strategically vital position as the gateway to Seraphis and Cathay, and he
believed that one could never be overly armed when it cto defending such a critical point. Under Matthew's
orders, the crown prince and his men set fire to bury the remains of the Keller Family's assassination team
completely.
Although the battle had subsided, its repercussions continued to ripple outward.
"Did you hear about the suburban fire yesterday afternoon?"
"Yeah, it was a massive one. What's the fuss about? Well, word has it that the Keller Family has dispatched a new
wave of assassins, and their target appears to be Matthew Larson."
"But didn't they send over five hundred people last time, and they were all wiped out? Why are there fresh
reports of assassins now?"
"Who knows? These youngsters seem fearless. They even dared to challenge the Skargness Durham Family
branch!"
As this information circulated through the underground network, it also reached the major powers in Seraphi.
Meanwhile, at the Stubbers Mansion...
"Isambard, why do you seem unhappy when you see me?" asked the crown prince as he returned to the Stubber
Family for another tea session.
However, this time, Isambard's attitude was notably respectful when he laid eyes on the crown prince.
"Prince, why would you think that? I'm overjoyed to see you safe and sound. When | heard about the ambush on
you and Mr. Larson yesterday, | immediately dispatched support. However, by the t| arrived the firefight had
already been quelled. Fortunately, you both emerged unharmed, and | could finally breathe a sigh of relief."
As Isambard explained, he even patted his chest in a scripted manner, although his emotions were far from
calm.
These two young men were incredibly formidable. The Keller Family had twice sent elite forces to assail them,
and both times resulted in total annihilation.
The crown prince chuckled and narrowed his eyes as he leaned in closer to him.
"You're not secretly hoping for an opportunity to get back atand Matthew, are you?"
Just as Isambard was about to explain desperately, the crown prince cut him off.
"Enough with the nonsense. | cto you to get the Keller Family's contact information..."
