Erhardt rushed straight into the bedroom.
He was immediately flustered when he saw Matthew who was lying sick on the bed.
After a moment, he took his pistol out without hesitation and aimed it straight at Matthew.
Saoirse ran to her father's front at once, with her body right in front of the pistol. "Father, you can't kill him!" Erhardt said in fury, "Get out of the way, Saoirse. This man must die. You must have forgotten the rules in the family. You are not allowed to meet any strange men before you get married. Not only did you just meet up with him, you even hid him in your own bedroom, that is why he must die!" "Father, you really cannot kill him." Saoirse cried and shouted.
"Someone, cand take Saoirse away," Erhardt ordered his men.
Soon, a few young and strong bodyguards went over and dragged Saoirse away.
Saoirse didn't want to leave no matter what, yet she still got dragged away at the end.
Erhardt aimed his pistol right at Matthew again.
He wanted to pull the trigger but he suddenly hesitated for a bit.
The young man on the bed was giving him a reaction that was beyond his expectations. He'd thought that the young man would surely be in a fright seeing a pistol being aimed at him, and he would plead hard for mercy in tears.
But this man's reaction was just so calm, so terribly calm.
He looked at Erhardt with his dark eyes and said, "Sir, you have no rights to kill me." His voice was cold.
Erhardt frowned. "This is the rule of my family. Unmarried girls are not allowed to meet any strangers except for the family members, and my youngest daughter is unmarried." There was a ripple of changes in expression in Matthew's eyes.
He said calmly again, "I don't have any ability to resist now. If that is what you want, do as you wish then." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped looking at Erhardt.
It was as if whatever Erhardt was about to do next, had nothing at all to do with him.
The dumbfounded look in Erhardt's eyes was getting more and more obvious.
This young man was definitely no ordinary man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was so brave and fearless even when faced with such danger.
Erhardt still did not shoot in the end. He hesitated for a moment and then turned away.
He had to look up the background of this young man.
After three days, Erhardt finally found out about Matthew Perry's details.
When he knew what Matthew had done, he was shocked.
No wonder Devonte Limbaugh had suddenly died. It turned out that it had something to do with that young man. The courage and boldness of that young man were far beyond his imagination.
He suddenly thought that he didn't want to kill Matthew anymore.
Such an excellent man should not die just like this.
Erhardt was in hesitation.
At the stime, Liselle cto plead with Erhardt.
She knelt onto the ground and said, "Master, Miss Saoirse has been kneeling in front of your door for three days and three nights. Even in the heavy rain, she still kept on kneeling like that. You have to promise Miss Saoirse not to kill that man. I beg you, Master." Erhardt suddenly stood up at once.
He walked to the door, it was raining heavily outside.
Saoirse was there kneeling.
She was soaked all over.
It was obvious that she was so cold that her body was trembling all over.
Erhardt walked over to get her up.
However, Saoirse refused to get up.
She locked her gaze stubbornly at Erhardt. "Father, if you don't agree to let him go, if you still insist on putting him to death, then I will keep on kneeling here, until you promisenot to." Erhardt sighed heavily. "Do you really not want him to die so much?" "I definitely wouldn't allow William to die!" "Saoirse, the rules of our family is not to be broken. Except for putting him to death, there is still one other way, but are you willing to?" Saoirse's entire body shook.
She looked at her father in disbelief. "Father, would you allow it?" There was a hint of surprise in Saoirse's tone.
Erhardt felt somewhat helpless. "He is an excellent young man. I don't want to let him die just like that either." Saoirse suddenly stood up.
She hugged Erhardt happily. "Father, thank you, thank you so much." Erhardt muttered, "I hope that I made the right decision." Half an hour later, Erhardt went to where Matthew was.
Hearing the noise, Matthew looked towards Erhardt.
He looked calm and composed. "Thank you for deciding not to kill me." The man's tone was still indifferent as ever.
He seemed to be not affected at all by anything.
Such a quality was hard to find in a man.
There was a hint of admiration in Erhardt's eyes.
He walked towards Matthew's bed and looked at him from his height.
Matthew was also looking back at him.
Matthew was lying on the bed, and Erhardt was standing upright. By logic, Matthew would have felt pressured by the difference in height, yet Erhardt clearly felt that he wasn't even at all slightly pressured by Erhardt.
Even when this man had to raise his chin up high just to meet his gaze, yet his demeanour was still strong. Erhardt's thoughts were changed a little.
He was such a man, so great that it was no wonder that his own youngest daughter had fallen in love with him. "William, I heard from my daughter that that's your name. I have to let you know that I have decided not kill you, yet we still have to abide to the family's rules. There's another way apart from putting you to death." Matthew looked at Erhardt and did not speak.
Erhardt said, "You will have to marry Saoirse." There was a trace of surprise in Matthew's eyes.
Erhardt continued, "My daughter, Saoirse is someone whom many men had fatten deeply in love with. She is so beautiful that the whole family would be stunned upon a gaze at her beauty, and every man You are a would go crazy for her even et lucky man that you caught her attention. William, I should congratulate you." He stared at Matthew, waiting for the man's excitement to show.
However, to his surprise, there wasn't any such thing.
The man's brows were knitted into a deep frown.
After a while, he replied, "Sorry, I cannot marry Saoirse." "What did you say?" Erhardt couldn't believe what he heard.

Matthew looked at Erhardt and said, "A marriage requires mutual love! I'm gerequire sprry but don't like Saoirse."
"How could you not like her? She is such a beautiful lady!" He knew that any man who saw his youngest daughter would definitely go crazy! Matthew said in a sincere attitude, "Sorry, Sir. Şaoirse is a really nice
lady. She is kind and beautiful, and admire her a lot. But I have to say that I have no such reelings for her at all thus 1 request that you take back that decision of yours." Erhardt immediately flew into a rage.
His daughter was the apple of his eye, also the pride of the entire family.
There were so many other men who were so desperate, yet couldn't get her no matter what.
But now that he allowed his daughter to marry this man, this man actually refused.
Erhardt felt greatly humiliated by Matthew.
He took out his pistol once again.
This time, the pistol was directly pointed towards Matthew's forehead.
"You actually refused it? You'll have no other choice but to die then," Erhardt said in a cold tone.
"Sir, I can't marry a woman that I don't like. It would hurt the both of us if I did." "Would you rather die than to marry Saoirse?" Matthew pressed his lips together and did not utter a word.
His silence showed that he still would not agree to marry Saoirse.
"Okay then, I'll have to fulfil your wishes then." Erhardt was about to pull the trigger as he said that.
At that very moment, the door was pushed open and Saoirse rushed in.
She had been outside the door the whole time.
She heard the conversation between her father and Matthew very clearly.
Saoirse was both shocked and disappointed.
She held onto her father's arm and said, "Father, you can't kill William." Even if he would not agree to marry her, she would never let her father kill him.
