Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2144

The noisy banquet fell silent with the arrival of Old Mr. Bane, who seemed to carry each step with a burst of energy as he crossed the room. When he swept his eyes across the room, the people who sneered at Matthew instinctively held their breaths.

Initially, they thought that Matthew could only make it to the banquet because of his connection to Roxanne. It was never within their calculations that it was Old Mr. Bane who had personally invited him. Not only did they end up with no benefits, but they also left a bad impression on Old Mr. Bane. At the end of the day, it was all they could do to stop themselves from slapping their faces for speaking more than needed.

Meanwhile, Old Mr. Bane headed to the main guest area in quick steps and approached the CAUMP table. Suddenly, a smile spread across his originally expressionless face when he caught sight of the people there.

"Thank you for making time to attend this banquet despite your busy schedule, Mr. Bauer."

That was the truth. Recently, CAUMP had been head over heels as they were swamped with the preparation of the Holy Doctor Competition. In addition, a few superior elders from the union had gone to deal with some emergency and hadn't been seen in public for a long time, which in turn piled up the workload for Gustav and the others.

"You're welcome, Old Master Bane. This is an important event, and even if I'm busy, I'll have to make time—" Before he finished his sentence, he stopped abruptly with a stunned look in his eyes as he observed the energetic Old Mr. Bane radiating a healthy glow. "Old Master Bane… you're cured?" he asked in disbelief.

He could still remember how he looked the last time they met. The man before him was still riddled with illnesses.

The smile on Old Mr. Bane's face deepened. "I met a miraculous doctor by chance and he healed me completely. What's more, I even made quite a few breakthroughs in my martial arts with his help."

His answer stunned Gustav because even his master couldn't do anything about Old Mr. Bane's stubborn ailments. Is Mr. Phantom back in the city? That can't be because we'll be the first to hear about his return. Could it be Matthew, then?

As long as they possessed even the flimsiest of connections to the Bane Family, any of their influence would soar to the skies and join the ranks of the Ten Greatest Families of Bainbridge, which was a rank unlike any other. Just one difference in ranking meant a massive difference in strength and power, and all of a sudden, the focus of the banquet shifted.

After Old Mr. Bane finished his casual chat with Gustav, he went to the host table and sat next to his wife, Marissa. Over their years of marriage, he knew her personality like the back of his hand and knew that she was unhappy with Matthew because of what happened with Roxanne. Those fiends definitely noticed this as well, or else they wouldn't be so impudent during the banquet.

At the thought of this, he leaned in close to Marissa and whispered something into her ear, and after she gave him a doubtful nod, he stood up and scanned across the room. "Where's Matthew?" he asked in a strict voice.

The crowd assumed that Old Mr. Bane wanted to reproach Matthew because of the gifts he brought. Although birthday gifts were meant as a token from the guests on the surface, it would seem contemptuous if the gift was too casual.
