Chapter 2384 The Arrogant Calixto
If it were any other time, it would be normal for people of the sgeneration to have a friendly sparring match.
Matthew wouldn't refuse it either. However, right now, the shop was about to commence its grand opening
ceremony. Accepting a challenge at this moment would only cause trouble. However, Matthew still explained it
politely, "Sorry, | need to prepare for the opening ceremony. Let's talk sother time." He nodded with a smile.
What he got in return for his goodwill was a mockery. "You're still having an opening ceremony? Look, there's not
a single person outside your door. | think you should stop being so busy. | wonder what you're busy with within
such a deserted ceremony."
Indeed, in order to completely suppress S&L's Breakfast's reputation, the Cunninghams deliberately chose the
stfor their grand opening as well. They even selected a location that was less than 200 yards away from
S&L's Breakfast.

The difference was huge.
The Cunninghams were giving out free vouchers. They also set up long tables at the entrance, offering various
desserts for passersby for free tasting. The watching crowd literally swarmed the place. On the other hand, there
was nothing glamorous as that at S&L's Breakfast.
Except for a few fallen leaves blown by the breeze at the entrance, there was no one there. it was desolate and
heart-wrenching. The gap between the two sides was like heaven and earth.
Just as Matthew was about to step forward, Helen stopped him. "Everyone is a guest. Today is our shop's grand
opening ceremony. Just let it be."
Helen put on a warm smile. "Welcome, dear guest. Please have a seat. | will make you a cup of tea."
Calixto chere for two reasons. On one hand, it was because Levi and Martin looked down upon him on the
other hand, it was because the two Kings were praising Matthew at the stime. Their words couldn't mask
their admiration.
Perhaps out of jealousy or a sense of injustice, Calixto wanted to confront Matthew today.
"| advise you to give up. The influence of the Ten Great Families is not something you can contend with. As long
as they speak up, the major forces will help them. I don't think you'll have any guests today. You will eventually
shut your business down. It's better for you to accept my challenge."
As one of the top forces in Pearl Island, the opening ceremonies of the industries under the Fair Family's name
were naturally grand. If it wasn't bustling with activity, it was obvious that it was a failure, even though it was
almost noon.
Seeing that Matthew ignored him, Calixto continued, "You should go to the entrance to greet guests. At least
they'll think that there are customers here."

He walked to the nearest table and sat down without any hesitation. Then, he shamelessly reached out and
started digging in the dried fruits meant for the reception.
Matthew didn't want to waste his ton Calixto's arrogance. He merely turned around to his parents-in-law and
the staff. "Everyone, take advantage of the free tand fill your stomachs. When the guests arrive, we might
not even have tto take a break."
Next, he didn't care about anything else and brought a large bowl! of noodles from the kitchen, eating them by
himself. Not long after he finished speaking, another person arrived at the entrance. Today, Yann dressed
particularly formally with that suit and luxury watch, as well as that well-made hairstyle.
When he entered the hall and saw Calixto, Yann nodded with a smile and greeted him. After all, the enemy of an
enemy was a friend.
Seeing Matthew crazily eating noodles, the smile on Yann's face beamed wider. "Matthew, your opening
ceremony is lame. Even |, as your uncle, can't bear to watch it."
