The Great Medical Saint

Matthew suddenly changed his mind and raised the blade. "Spill it. Where's Nelson?"

Terrified by the blade being pointed at him, Ethan hurriedly begged for mercy. "I don't know Nelson. Stop, I can't take this. I'm about to die. Please stop." Matthew raised the blade above Ethan's head, seemingly about to strike at any second.

Seeing this, Ethan quickly came clean. "Alright. I'll tell you. Nelson was sent to Eastoria. He's still over there now."

Matthew furrowed his brows. He wasn't sure if Ethan was making stuff up, so he asked again, "Did he just go with you without a fight?"

Ethan was sweating bullets and trembling. "If he didn't cooperate, I'd have killed his whole family. That's why he didn't dare to resist.

"There's a camera at his place. As long as he does what's he told, he gets to see everything happening at home."

Matthew was convinced. Holding a person's family hostage was a real dirty trick. No one could hold out against that. "Make the call and bring Nelson back right away."

Ethan shook his head. "I'm not in charge of Nelson anymore, so I can't free him. My word doesn't mean anything.

"It's so cold, and I'm about to pass out. Call a doctor immediately. I feel like I'm going to die. Please, save me."

As Ethan was speaking, he suddenly had a seizure and went silent.

Standing on the sidelines, Mason looked at the dead body with fear and trepidation. He approached Matthew and said, "Get out of here, Mr. Grant. Otherwise, you might end up in jail." The bystanders ran away in fear. They were all afraid of getting into trouble.

Matthew tapped on Mason's shoulder and flashed him a smile. "Don't worry about running away. Ethan came for our herbs first, and I was just defending myself.

"Forget about what's happening here. Just go home and pretend you don't know anything about Nelson's situation."

Matthew had spoken to Ansel earlier about this, but Ansel simply replied, "You do what you need to do, and I'll take care of the rest."

Hearing Ansel's words was enough for Matthew to set aside his worries. He also had a clearer picture that Ansel must be someone important.

Ansel's mission might be bigger than just Nicholas' personal matters.

At that moment, Matthew didn't take Ethan's death seriously.

Mason was still a bit uneasy. "Seriously? This is a pretty big deal-"

Before Mason could finish speaking, Matthew grabbed him and said, "Come on. I'm going with you to get that book."

With that, Matthew took Harold and Mason back to their place.

Above the door was a black object facing the yard. It was hard to notice without paying close attention. That had to be the camera Nelson used to check on his family.

Matthew glanced at the camera and then casually walked to the yard. Soon, Mason grabbed a book from his bag.

The book was wrapped in a cover. Without opening it, it looked just like a high school textbook

After collecting Codex Chillwind, Matthew thought about Healer's Satchel. "Have you seen something resembling a satchel?"

Mason shook his head. Harold walked out from inside with a grubby bag. It looked like a battered handmade piece.

Harold handed the item to Mason. "I used to think you had an agenda and didn't trust you. But after you went through so much to save Mason, I believe you're part of my dad's sect.

"Here's the Healer's Satchel. I've treated it with a solution to mask its original color."

Matthew took the Healer's Satchel in his hands. It was light and smooth to the touch.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed the exquisite craftsmanship that went into it, which suggested that it might have been made by a woman.

After carefully putting away the Healer's Satchel, Mason packed Codex Chillwind in the bag. "I've got other matters to attend to, so I'm leaving now.

"Here's my phone number. And I'll be teaching Mason medicine through video."

...

At the Opulent Club, Ansel sent his men to sort things out for Matthew and made a call. "Things are getting dangerous for Mr. Grant, sir. Do we need to dispatch someone to assist him with his next task?" An elderly voice came through the phone. "Forget it. If he can't get this done, he doesn't deserve the Juprus Ring and to call the shots with the tough guys."

Ansel wanted to say something, but the other person hung up on him. He sighed in resignation. Nicholas was still cold as ever, and he started to feel worried about Matthew.

With the start of a new day, Matthew showed up at the Wealthwave Group's entrance. After finishing his task yesterday, he was ready for a new challenge.

In the medical circle, there was a sect named the Gugleni Sect. Their founder wrote a book called, Gugleni Compendium. At this moment, it was currently with the Solomon family. Before Matthew could ask the Solomons about the book, Rachel called, "Get here fast, Matthew. We had about 100 tons of herbs go missing. I really need your help with this."novelbin
