Chapter 32 To the Very Last Moment of His life
Matt lowered his gaze contemplatively. There was only one person on his mind.
After sending Winona back home, he, as well as the members of the FALCON Team, set off toward the
Larson’s.
He lit a cigar in the car and instructed the FALCON Team in a flat tone, “Raze the mansion to the
ground. Make sure nobody is hurt.”

turn their lives into a living hell.
Kevin kicked the main door open and started smashing things in the mansion. The Larsons, who were
frightened out of their wits, started squealing in horror.
Every piece of furniture and ornament, even the pavilion in the garden, was destroyed.
Seeing a highly valuable jade vase being shattered into pieces by Kevin and his gang, Hazel Madron
nearly fainted out of anger. She ordered the butler to call the police, who responded to their complaint
with a lackadaisical attitude. That was when Hazel realized that her family might have offended a big
fish.
Benjamin and his father, Andrew Larson, arrived at the living room after hearing the commotion.
“Andrew, what’s going on?” Hazel asked.
Andrew patted Benjamin’s back and said, “Please take care of your mother. Let me check who’s
outside.”
He put on a suit jacket and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses before heading out of the mansion. When
he saw Matt inside an off-road vehicle parked by the roadside, he experienced mixed feelings.
Matt released a mouthful of smoke before turning to face Andrew with a smirk. “Mr. Larson, I’m sorry
that I’d been too busy to visit you before this. Thanks to your timely reminder, here I am now.”
Andrew eased himself into the car and banged the door shut. Even so, he could still hear smashing
and clattering sounds coming incessantly from the mansion. “Matt, you’re bringing this too far. Please
don’t forget that this is the place where your ancestors used to live…”
Matt spun around and fixed him an icy stare. Still maintaining an eerie smile on his face, he snapped,
“My ancestors? Are you pulling my leg? I’ve never been part of this family!”
“Your mother wanted you to move back in with us. Unfortunately, she didn’t get to witness her wish
being fulfilled before she died.”
“Ha! Are you sure she genuinely wished that to happen? She only wanted that just so that I could have
a place to stay where I get enough food to eat. Do I look like I need help now? In case you haven’t
realized it, I’m now powerful enough to decide the fate of you and your family!”
“Matt! You can never change the fact that you’re my son. Are you making a scene here for the sake of
that woman?”
“Did he just confess to messing with Winona just now?” Matt wondered. His face clouded over, the
atmosphere in the car was getting oppressive. He stepped hard on the cigar on the floor and scowled,
“Andrew Larson, you’d better listen to me very carefully—you’re a nobody to me, but Winona means
the world to me. If you dare to mess with her again, I’ll mess with your son to get even with you.”
“It’s inappropriate of you to have a relationship with your brother’s ex-fiancée! Also, she doesn’t
deserve you. A woman like her is going to ruin your life!”
Matt let out a chuckle with a mean streak. “From the way I see it, I’m afraid you fit that description
better than her!”
Andrew suppressed his raging fury and rested his hand on Matt’s. Trying his best to sound like a
devoted father who genuinely cared about his son, he said, “Matt, please believe me that I have
nothing but good intentions for you. As long as you’re willing to break up with that woman, I’ll make a
public announcement to let everyone know you’re my long-lost son. If we work together, the world will
be our oyster.”
Suddenly, Matt let out a guffaw. “Mr. Larson, did you miss what I just said? Well, I don’t mind repeating
it—I’ve never had a father in my life!”
Andrew had never been there when Matt felt the most helpless and vulnerable. He had never shown
his concern to him when he was fighting for his life in the wars. Now, Andrew only emerged in his life
when he was successful and powerful—he certainly timed his return well.
After some time, Samuel and the rest of the FALCON Team finally filed out of the mansion. “Matt, it’s
done.”
Matt motioned them to get back into the off-road vehicle. Then, he quickly extracted his hand from
Andrew’s. With a sickened expression, he wiped his hand clean with a tissue which he then tossed out
of the car.
Seeing that, Andrew’s face turned glum. “Are you sure you want to be my enemy?”
Matt gave him a faint grin and said, “That’s right. I’ll be a pain in your ass until the very last moment of
my life!”
Andrew staggered his way out of the car with Matt’s words reverberating in his mind like a curse. “Am I
suffering the repercussions of my past mistake?” he wondered. Suddenly, he found himself being
consumed by regret. He should have listened to Hazel’s advice and gotten rid of Matt when he was still
a fetus.
Matt instructed Herman, “Andrew Larson has been involving himself in illegal business activities all
these years. Now, I’m going to rat him out to the president.”
“General Snider, aren’t you going to wait until the day you’re appointed as the commander-in-chief?
That’s always been your plan.”
“There’s no point in waiting after he messed with my woman! I have to do something to stop him from
pulling off anything funny on Winona again.”
“General Snider, you’re such a great husband.”
Herman had never seen Matt caring about a woman so much before. Before this, he had always
assumed Matt would remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Back at home, Matt pushed the door to the master bedroom open and found Winona reading a book on
the bed. Part of her pretty face was covered by her fringe.
“You’re back.”
“Have you been waiting for me?”
“Yes. I can’t help feeling restless when you aren’t around.”
Matt walked over to the bed and pulled her into his arms. “Do you feel safe now?”
Surprisingly, she did not make a clever comeback this time. Instead, she frowned and criticized, “You
stink! Now, get your butt in the bathroom and take a shower.”
Matt only made his way to the bathroom reluctantly after planting a few kisses on her cheeks. Soon,
Winona heard the sound of water flowing coming from the bathroom. Two red patches emerged on her
cheeks as she ran her fingers over the spots he had kissed.
