Matthews boarded the carriage with the affectionate farewell of his relatives. Although he was filled with pain, he resolutely issued the order to set off. The carriage started slowly, carrying Matthews away from the familiar castle and embarking on an unknown journey.

Matthews leaned out and silently gazed at Albert Castle and the figures that were gradually moving away. At this moment, longing and reluctance surged into his heart like a tide, deeply engraved in his heart, and became the most precious memory of his journey.

In order to reach Rio Castle as soon as possible, Matthews urged the team to speed up. With a strong team lineup and momentum that cannot be underestimated, they had no obstacles along the way and arrived at Rio Castle smoothly in just over five days. This trip can be said to be smooth sailing.

As soon as Hunter saw Matthews's motorcade arrive, he immediately came to greet them. Surprisingly, standing next to him was a person Matthews was also familiar with - Charles.

Hunter greeted Matthews enthusiastically, his expression filled with genuine joy. He said with a smile on his face: "Matthews, my dear friend! You have gone through so much hardship and finally arrived safely!"

Matthews hugged his best friend tightly, and everything was speechless. This precious opportunity was something Hunter had fought hard for himself.

At this time, Charles also stepped forward and said to Matthews with a firm look: "Matthews, I hope we can work together to overcome the difficulties." His words revealed a firm belief and expectation for cooperation.

Matthews has always had a good impression of Charles. Although he sometimes shows some characteristics of a second-generation rich man, Matthews still thinks Charles is a trustworthy partner. He believes that as long as they can become true friends, Charles will be a reliable supporter.

"Charles, I firmly believe that our goals are the same, and it is best for you to join us," Matthews said firmly.

They walked side by side into the castle's grand gate, each step looking solemn and resolute. The bright lights in the castle illuminated their resolute faces, as if foreshadowing the upcoming challenges and opportunities.

Hunter conveyed the Archduke's decision to Matthews: they would officially set off in three days.

Hearing the news, Matthews felt fortunate that he was able to arrive in time at this critical moment.

Charles took the initiative to talk, trying to get closer to Matthews and Hunter: "Matthews, how are your preparations going?" His tone revealed concern and friendliness, and he obviously hoped to enhance mutual understanding and trust through such communication.

Matthews spread his hands helplessly: "Time is tight and many things have not been properly arranged. As for Byron, my level is really not that good."

Hunter interrupted and said, "I'm not much better in Byronic, but Charles is very good at it." He both frankly admitted his own shortcomings and praised Charles' abilities, implying that Charles will play an important role in the next mission.

Charles smiled and waved his hands: "Haha, it's barely OK, daily conversation is no problem."

Hearing Charles' words, Matthews couldn't help but admire him: "You are really amazing. I feel a little bit struggling in this area. I can't even speak fluently in daily language."

Hunter took over the topic with a smile: "It seems that we are both the same. I am just barely good enough in this regard." There was a bit of self-deprecation and humor in his words, which made the atmosphere relaxed.

Later, Matthews learned that there were two female companions in their team, and their identities were quite prominent - both were daughters of the Marquis.

Matthews couldn't help but be surprised. He realized that among the five people in the team, his background was the most ordinary. This realization made him more expectant and curious about the next journey.

Hunter noticed Matthews' mood change and asked him with concern whether he felt pressured by the presence of two prominent ladies in the team. His words were full of understanding and support for Matthews, intending to relieve Matthews' psychological burden.

Charles firmly told Matthews not to worry, they would face the challenge together and would not let him fight alone.

Matthews's evaluation of Charles in his heart rose to a higher level. He laughed heartily: "Haha, that's great! Brothers are united and their strength is invincible. We will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and meet challenges together!"

The laughter of the three echoed in the air, full of friendship and trust. Matthews felt the pressure swept away, and at this moment he felt unprecedented ease and freedom.

Sophia walked over lightly with a curious smile on her face: "Brother, what are you talking about? You are laughing so happily." Her appearance seemed to add a touch of brightness to this joyful scene.

Along with Sophia came Emily and two girls whom Matthews had never met before. Matthews immediately realized that these two were the other two companions in their team, the daughters of the distinguished Marquis.

Charles introduced them to Matthews enthusiastically: "Matthews, please allow me to introduce them to you. This Miss Adele, who has an extraordinary temperament, is the apple of the eye of the Marquis of Donovan; and the Miss Mary, who has elegant manners, is the daughter of the Marquis of Uduka."

Sophia couldn't help but interrupt Charles. She took over the introduction with a smile: "No, let me introduce Brother Matthews to the two sisters."

She turned to Adele and Mary, and with a hint of excitement and mystery in her voice, she whispered interesting facts and peculiarities about Matthews.

Matthews looked at Sophia's serious yet slightly naughty expression and couldn't help but chuckle. He thought to himself, why did she become so mysterious when it came to introducing someone? But he also knew that this was Sophia's unique charm, which always brought people unexpected surprises and joy.

At this time, Hunter couldn't help but teased: "Sophia, don't hide it, tell the two ladies how powerful Matthews is!" His tone revealed his pride and expectation for his friend.

Sophia smiled playfully and did not answer Hunter directly, but continued to whisper something to Adele and Mary. Her words seemed full of interest and attraction, making the two young ladies of the Marquis family listen attentively.
