NovelMegaChapter 1721
As most of the people in the Rathbone Family had gone to Eastshire, the house was a lot emptier.
However, the guards were still posted as usual.
There would be a batch of patrolling guards passing by at a distance of every few feet in the huge court.
Luckily, Matthew had a good look at their patrol system the last the was here.
He avoided the guards with ease and arrived at Macon's court.
Even though Macon had gone to Eastshire, Matthew did not let his guard down.
Macon was a very cautious person. If there was a secret hidden in his court, it was possible that traps would be
set up.
As such, Matthew took careful steps as he entered the court and he was lucky that nothing happened.

While he passed through the yard, he realized that there wasn't anyone around.
Recalling the last the came, Matthew remembered he saw Macon stopping in front of a fake rock mountain
for stime. He was sure there was something behind that mountain.
He observed the area as he neared the fake rock mountain.
His ancestors were all-rounders and dabbled in different trades and skills. One of them just so happened to have
the skills of contraptions and mechanisms.
After looking around for a while, Matthew located the mechanism of the trap right above the fake mountain.
It was well hidden. If ordinary people came, they would not have found it as it would only look like a normal fake
mountain to them.
The mechanism was a hole about the size of a fist above the fake mountain that only allowed one hand to enter.
As Matthew raised his hands to reach into the hole, he suddenly noticed something weird about the hole's
entrance.
After observing it with caution again, he noticed that there were black shadows around its entrance as if some
soot was covering it.
A thought popped into his mind as he bent down to take a sniff. A faint funky smell wafted from the hole, but as
it was too small, Matthew did not notice it at first.
If he didn't stand close to the mountain and taken his tto smell it, he would not have noticed it.
Matthew was startled at that smell as it belonged to a deadly venomous snake.
It was called the venom chain viper that was rarely spotted as it liked to hide in dark holes, but was aggressive.
As soon as any living being went near it, it would strike and bite.
Its venom was so deadly that even elephants would die within three minutes.
His heart pounded at the realization because Macon was indeed an insidious man to have reared such a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmvenomous snake in the trap.
It was no wonder he dared to leave his hwithout many guards around because he had precautions in place.
If people didn't know and cover to open the trap, they would have been bitten and died thereafter.
Fortunately, Matthew was experienced and noticed the red flag.
If he was bitten, he might not be able to save himself even with his abilities.
Its venom was too deadly and normal antidotes would not have worked.
Even with his medical skills, he needed tto perform self-aid.
Then, Matthew took a deep breath and popped a pill into his mouth. This would save his life later if he was
bitten.
He slowly reached out his hand and inched toward the hole.
He listened closely and heightened his senses while feeling the air inside the hole. Just as his hand was half a
foot away from its entrance, he heard something move. Something was jumping out fast as lightning and it was
hard for any ordinary human to react.
