Victor shook his head and explained, "The real purpose for him to detain us here was to poach each and every
one of our family's secrets. Then, he would use these secrets to gradually deal with our families from all aspects
so as to enhance the Rathbone Family's strength."
Matthew's eyes widened in shock. Finally, he knew what Macon had done.
Then, he looked at the others. They all nodded, further proving that Victor wasn't lying.
Realizing this, Matthew took a deep breath. | never dreamed that | would discover such a secret when | decided
to enter this dungeon in the first place. My initial plan was to steal Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ ledger and use it
to cause internal conflicts among the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. Yet, who would've thought that | would
obtain such shocking news here. The Rathbone Family will definitely becthe target of public criticism if this
matter spreads out!

Suppressing his emotions, he whispered, "Was everything you all toldtrue?"
When Victor heard that, he answered, "We're already in such a crippled state. Do we think we still have the need
to lie to you? He has pressed us for our family's secrets in the first few years. Later, his greed increasingly
escalated and he began to demand us for the secrets of our family's compendium-one that has been passed
down from generations to generations. Over the years, he has kept us locked up here and not killed us just so he
could obtain our family's compendium."
Matthew was feeling all the more shocked after he learned this. Macon really is insidious!
"Hasn't anyone in your family looked for you even after he detained you here for so many years?" he asked
curiously.
Victor shook his head and replied, "Macon is extremely secretive. No one ever finds out what he's up to at all.
Moreover, he was especially diligent. He's the only one who knows about this whole thing. Even when the
dungeon was in the process of being constructed, he just secretly grabbed sworkers here to do the work.
After the dungeon was finished, he immediately killed all those workers and buried them here. In fact, outsiders
don't even know that there's a dungeon like this under Macon's court. After years of being detained here, you are
the first ever person we've seen who has made it this far. Except for Macon, no one has ever set foot in here at
alll"
Suddenly, the man, who was next to Victor, chimed in, "That's right! Macon is particularly diligent in carrying out
his sinister plots. He'll let his younger brother, Tyson, out of the dungeon if he goes out. Not only that, he'll also
release the tendon-weakening dust into the air of the stone chamber. The tendon-weakening dust is a colorless
and odorless powdery chemical which can make people lose their strength without them knowing. In order to let
Tyson help him guard this place, he'll give him the antidote so that he won't be affected by the tendon-
weakening dust.
"Once the outsiders break into this place, they'll unknowingly cinto contact with the tendon-weakening dust.
Death is inevitable if they cacross Tyson after passing through the stone chamber containing the tendon-
weakening dust. As for Macon, when he comes in, he just needs to take the hairpin at the door, throw it into the
dungeon, and lure Tyson in. But that's him, not the outsiders. How on earth will the outsiders be able to figure
these traps when they cin?"

Listening to the man's statement, Matthew first remembered about the traps Macon set outside. Then, he
remembered about the situation whereby Macon hid Tyson in the dark so that he could launch a sneak attack on
the intruders. Finally, he nodded in agreement with the man next to Victor.
Like what both these men had said, it wasn't easy for outsiders to locate this place-let alone cinside.
Even if others were able to locate this dungeon, the traps that were set outside would be deadly enough for
them.
In addition, after making through the stone door and coming down here, there were even more traps such as the
tendon-weakening dust as well as Tyson's attack. Each of these was deadly enough to instantly create a fatal
blow to their lives.
Hence, with so many booby traps lying around this basement, how many, except for Matthew, could actually
make it out alive?
"Macon sure is one cunning man!" Matthew lamented and suddenly looked at Tyson. Feeling curious, he asked,
"Then, what's going on with him? He's Macon's biological younger brother, yet why is he being detained here?"
Victor glanced at Tyson sympathetically upon hearing that and sighed. "Him... Well, he's much more pitiful than
us! What Macon did to him was truly immoral!"
