Matthew glanced at the man kneeling before him, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"General Weaver, I believe it's time for me to end your life."
As a member of the crown prince's faction and with the support of the Minister of Border Affairs, General Weaver showed no concern for the consequences. However, upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but tremble. Looking into Matthew's cold gaze, General Weaver realized that he was serious.
"Matthew, are you joking?"
A darkening of Matthew's expression was accompanied by a gradual emanation of murderous intent.
"I am a very serious person, and I do not appreciate jokes. Since I arrived in Seraphis, I haven't achieved any significant military accomplishments, leading many to believe that I am merely bluffing. Therefore, I intend to use your demise to enhance my reputation. There is a saying, isn't there? Cut off the head of the snake to tame the serpent."
Killing General Weaver wasn't an impulsive decision for Matthew, but a calculated one. Based on the information obtained from Gadel, both General Weaver and the Minister of Border Affairs were part of Toby's faction. Furthermore, Dustin's Ocean Group had already reached an agreement with Gadel, making them adversaries.
After learning that Daran had obtained General Weaver's token, Matthew deduced that the forces targeting the Ocean Group must be affiliated with Toby, and Jefford was merely an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. To make matters worse for Toby, Matthew had already established a cooperative intention with Prince Gadel, and Dustin was also a potential collaborator. Hence, killing General Weaver would weaken Toby's faction and demonstrate to the wavering forces in Seraphis that Matthew wasn't afraid to take decisive action. It was a solution that would kill two birds with one stone.
In the face of Matthew's killer instinct, General Weaver mounted a final resistance.
"Matthew, have you considered the consequences? Toby is the one backing me. If I'm taken out, he won't let it slide."
"No problem, I can handle it. Let's proceed."
Matthew had no fear of Toby.
"Matthew, I-I…"
Bang!
