Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2009

Exhausted by the journey, all the group wanted was a respite. Sanctuary was just up ahead. If they could cross the bridge that was less than 40 yards away, then they could reach it, and yet standing before them was a hurdle nigh impossible to overcome. An army of one thousand stood before them, blocking the bridge. Even during their peak, not even they were confident they could charge through this army, let alone now when they were all exhausted.

The bespectacled man in the lead came up to them with a smile. "You must be Mr. Matthew Larson." He had one hand behind his back and a phone in his other. After he had compared the photo to Matthew, the man nodded. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Larson. I am… Ah, apologies, but a future leader like you does not need to know my name."

Matthew and his gang weren't answering. The man adjusted his glasses and said, "My employer has heard of your name, and he wishes to see you. I am here on his behalf. If you have no other business to attend to, please come with us."

Not even Matthew could fend off this man and his army. Even though he expected a great obstacle between him and Bainbridge, he didn't expect it to be so great that it rendered them helpless. "Who is your employer, and what business does he have with me?"

The man just shook his head with a smile. "Our employer likes to lay low and forbids us from telling anyone anything about him. We do not know why he wishes to see you. Oh, and it's getting late. If we get there too late, he might be upset. Do please cooperate with us." The man spoke politely yet imperiously.

But that got on the crown prince's nerves. "I say we cut the crap and kick this sissy's *ss! Then we charge through the blockade!"
