NovelEnglishChapter 2204 Private Meeting With Martin
When the mighty and ferocious Green Phoenix saw the newcomer entering the room, it sent a piercing gaze
toward Matthew, its eyes as sharp as daggers. Then, a murderous aura began to seep out of its body, filling the
room.
It was only after Martin caressed the back of its neck comfortingly that it settled down. It then ruffled its feathers
before lowering its body once more.
Just then, Martin turned to Matthew with a faint smile on his face. "Take a seat."
At that, he left the perch and swiveled around, walking toward a wine rack nearby, causing Green Phoenix to
whip its head unhappily. After letting out a few soft cries, it fluttered its wings and soared out of the window.
Meanwhile, Martin walked toward the table with two wine glasses and a bottle of fine wine that was half full.
"Want some?"

Upon seeing Matthew nod in agreement, he began to pour the crimson liquid into a glass. "This wine has an
excellent brew that | rarely see, but Levi doesn't know how to appreciate it at all." Matthew, who was seated on
the couch, did not reply more than necessary and only watched quietly as Martin complained to himself
grumpily.
Although he didn't know what Martin's motives in inviting him here were, the risk of him having a slip of the
tongue and saying the wrong thing would increase with every word he spoke, so he chose to remain silent.
"Come, have a taste. This is a prized treasure from my personal collection."
Upon saying that, he placed the glass in his hand down before Matthew.
As the two lifted their respective glasses and gently tapped them together, the crisp clink of glass was the only
sound that reverberated around the otherwise silent room. Then, tslowly flowed by while Martin continuously
swirled the wine in his glass, taking multiple small sips.
Throughout this time, the two did not exchange any words, and it was only until Green Phoenix returned from its
search for food outside that interrupted the silence with its piercing cry.
It was at that moment that Martin finally spoke up. "Aren't you curious why | invited you over?"
Matthew only smiled calmly at his question. "Since you invitedover, you must have your reasons, Mr. Martin.
Perhaps the tis not yet ripe. As your junior, asking too many questions would makeseem irritating
instead."
Facing him, Martin replied with a hint of disdain in his voice, "Of all the things you could've learned from Levi,
you had to pick up his craftiness."
Matthew did not show much of a reaction to his complaints. After all, the person in front of him could very
possibly be the mastermind behind the extermination of the Larson Family. If he said the wrong thing now or if
Martin noticed something off about his behavior, he could very well be in danger.
"Doesn't matter. | invited you over because | noticed that your looks resemble an old friend of mine."
Hearing that, Matthew asked subconsciously, "Mr. Martin, could that old friend you speak of be from the South?"

"Not quite. That old friend of mine lived in the Northern Territory."
Meanwhile, Matthew noticed how out of place his question was. After all, he had been silent without speaking
much since the beginning, causing his sudden interest in this question to seem all the stranger. After hearing
Martin's words, Matthew forcefully swallowed his emotions and replied calmly, "At first, | thought that | would be
able to get to know Mr. Martin a little more. But it's a pity that I lived in the South since young and missed the
opportunity to do so."
He only said so to find an excuse for acting restless, but as soon as his words fell, a playful expression appeared
on Martin's face.
"Oh? If that's the case, why do | feel like you have something against me? Is it because there's something I've
done that made you unhappy?"
Although his tone was calm, Matthew felt his heart skip a beat. "What do you mean, Mr. Martin?"
