Chapter 1148 The Lead Is Exhausted
Judging from how Old Master Leigh looks, he doesn't seem to be lying. In that case, what the hell's going on with
Johnny? thought Matthew to himself. "Old Master Leigh, | think that Johnny is way too conceited and arrogant,
and he doesn't care about proprieties when doing things. Why would you let him be the head of the Leigh
Family?" he asked.
Old Master Leigh gave a look that suggested he had no other choice. "Mr. Larson, | didn't want him to be the
head of the family either. But out of my five sons, four died young; he's the only one who survived. | | didn't let
him be the head of the family... who else could | appoint?"

Matthew frowned. So, at the end of the day, Old Master Leigh only let Johnny, the black sheep of the family, be
the head of the Leigh Family because he had no other choice. But this sounds so fishy to me. Ou of Old Master
Leigh's five sons, four died young, yet the most incompetent of them survived. Isn't that too much of a
coincidence? After falling silent for a while, he ordered, "Call Johnny over. I've got squestions for him!"
Old Master Leigh was taken aback. He was somewhat puzzled. Why would the others from the Ten Greatest
Families of Eastcliff pop up all of a sudden at this very moment? Didn't they say earlier that they wouldn't
support what he and his family were doing?
On the other hand, Matthew knitted his brows. Isn't it too much of a coincidence that those from the Ten Greatest
Families cat this very moment? Could it be that the third family working with the voodoo clan in Orleans is
manipulating all this from behind the scenes? But why would the family want to stopfrom doing anything to
the Leigh Family? Could it be that there's still another secret about the Leigh Family that's unknown to me?
While Matthew was puzzled, many had cin from the outside, and they were all key figures amongst the Ten
Greatest Families.
As soon as these people cin, they barked, "Don't go too far, Matthew! The Leigh Family is one of the Ten
Greatest Families of Eastcliff, after all. How could you slaughter your way to the Leigh Residence? Do you really
think that none of us will stand up to you? We, the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, will never sit by and do
nothing about what happened today!" They kept yelling at Matthew, treating him as an enemy.
Having basically gotten the answer he wanted from the Leigh Family, Matthew didn't bother to clash with these
people head-on, of course. "Hmph, you guys cat such a right time, eh? Coming here at this moment to be
the good guys after the Leigh Family has apologized to me, huh? Tsk, tsk, since you guys are so united, why
didn't you cearlier?" he mocked, before striding off with Tiger and the others. On the other hand, Old Master
Leigh exchanged a few words of greetings with those from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff before sending
them away. Like Matthew, he couldn't help losing himself in deep thought. The few questions that Matthew had
asked aroused his suspicions as well. Could it be that Johnny isn't just being reckless in attempting to gobble up

Meanwhile, as soon as Matthew left the Leigh Residence, he called Wilson, asking the latter who had organized
the rest of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff to cto the Leigh Residence. However, Wilson told him that
the nine other greatest families had cto the Leigh Residence on their own without anybody organizing them.
This was because as soon as Matthew fought his way into the Leigh Residence, the nine other greatest families
of Eastcliff immediately heard a rumor.
The rumor said that Matthew had trodden the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff underfoot by fighting his way to
the Leigh Residence with his men, and the fact that the other nine families dared not make a sound about this
proved that the Ten Greatest Families were a bunch of good-for-nothings. Angered by the rumor, the nine other
families immediately ctogether and went to the Leigh Residence. Upon hearing Wilson's explanation,
Matthew frowned at once. There was no doubt that the ones who spread this rumor had to be the third family
that was actually working with the voodoo clan. However, the problem was that rumors were usually baseless, so
there was no way to find out the rumor's sources. The lead is exhausted again! Seems like I've got to start with
Johnny after all. I've got to find an opportunity to interrogate him myself!
