Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1817

7.00 PM at Times Hotel.

A large crowd had gathered outside the hotel.

They were all powerful and influential members of society here at Eastcliff.

Some were part of the wealthiest families in the area, while others belonged to the various elite families.

All of them had sources that kept them up-to-date on the latest goings-on, and they knew what was supposed to be happening tonight, so they came over to watch the show.

One of the men in the crowd was shouting so hard that his spit flew everywhere. "I'm telling you right now. Matthew Larson's going to die tonight! Do you guys know who the Damrons are? They're one of Bainbridge's elite families! Just this year, the Damrons had a marriage alliance with the Nolans, the greatest family in all of Cathay. Though, the Damrons alone already have the power to become one of Cathay's Ten Greatest Families. Facing a family like that? Let's not even talk about the families here in Eastcliff. Even the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire would have to humble themselves and apologize in front of them.

"As for Matthew Larson, he's nothing more than a live-in son-in-law who relies on his wife. He only managed to become who he is today because of some f*cking stroke of luck that ended up with him inheriting what Billy Newman left behind. What makes him think he can stand against the Damrons? To the Damrons, Matthew Larson is nothing more than a bug on a windshield. Any one of the Damrons could squish him out with a flick of their finger. So tell me, don't you guys agree that he's not getting out here alive today?"

The listening crowd was thunderstruck, though some among them quickly voiced their agreement and shouted that Matthew was doomed.

A young woman in white stood on the other side of the crowd.

It was Crystal Harrison, and right now, her face showed nothing but anguish.

Every word that man said seemed to strike a heavy blow against her heart, making it reel in pain.

For the last two days, she had been crying her eyes out ever since she heard about what Matthew was up against. It was as if her heart was being ripped to shreds.

Earlier on, Joseph Harrison approached Matthew and offered his help, but Matthew declined. Although he knew Joseph was sincere in his offer, he didn't want to get the Harrisons involved.
