Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2160

Matthew left the manor with a heavy heart.

Just as he was about to get into his car, a familiar figure slowly approached him. ''Madam Quirk?''

He was surprised to see her. He didn't expect to meet Layna here, of all places. Nevertheless, he inhaled deeply and compartmentalized his emotions before forcing a smile on his face.

''I haven't thanked you in person for your aid, Madam Quirk. I want to use this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your help,'' Matthew said warmly. Naturally, Leanna had already informed him about their collaboration with Creative Cloud Spray.

''It's nothing, Leanna and I are family, after all. So, it only makes sense for me to help her out.'' she waved him off dismissively with a lighthearted smile. Meanwhile, Matthew was surprised to hear this piece of information.

Leanna was related to Layna. It seemed Layna was part of the Sandels' branch family. This was the first time he was ever informed about such an interesting factoid.

Regardless, Layna didn't give him time to ponder over the matter as she immediately explained the purpose of her visit, ''Master Levi asked me to send you a message. He said that an old friend invited them to a meeting at sea. He wants to bring you along to meet them.''

This piqued Matthew's interest, and he asked, ''On the seas? Did Master Levi say who the other party is?''

She responded calmly, ''King of Rivenia, Martin Newmont.'' When Matthew heard that response, he was astonished.

Back then in Woodside, he had a discussion with Ambrose regarding the forces that destroyed the Larson Family.

This man, Martin Newmont, was one of them. So, he immediately agreed to Levi's invitation without hesitation.

…

Whereas Orlaith was composed when she caught sight of the manager. That was because she had imagined such a scenario being played out earlier, so naturally, she maintained her poise as she replied, ''Manager Baeddan, I'm afraid that on my way back, I was attacked by pirates. Fortunately, Mr. Newmont saved me. So, I decided to help him escort the Elites from the Land of Divinity to his ship as payment.''

When Manager Baeddan heard her story, he didn't think to delve into it. He just shook his head in disappointment and sighed, ''Pirate attack? Miss Orlaith Baeddan, you really don't know how to do anything yourself.''

Orlaith waited for him to leave as she stood there with contempt in her bloodshot eyes. She had always been a proud woman. So, when had she ever been humiliated by people around her time and time again?

The host, Martin, finally walked out slowly onto the stage with a Green Phoenix on his arm under everyone's anticipatory gaze. At this point, everyone's attention was focused on the man. ''Welcome, all of you great warriors of Emsgate. It's an honor to have you here as my guests. I am your host for the evening, Martin Newmont.''

Although the invitation letter everyone received had indicated the name of the host, this was the first time most of them were seeing him in person.

All of a sudden, the crowd broke out in heated whispered discussions.
