Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2164

After a brief walk, the two finally ascended to the top of the warship. Martin approached one of the crates and retrieved a bottle of aged red wine. Levi's gaze fell upon the bottle, noticing deep imprints on its surface which was a sign of its value.

"Come on, Levi. Let's indulge ourselves a little. This is a precious vintage that I seldom enjoy unless in the company of someone special. Consider yourself fortunate," Martin declared, pouring the red wine into two tall glasses.

"There's no need for the pretense now that we're alone," Levi bluntly exposed Martin's facade, unmasking his feigned enthusiasm.

Martin smacked his lips in exasperation. "You truly know how to dampen the mood," he grumbled, relinquishing his pretentious demeanor. Then, he took a seat on the sofa and raised the wine glass toward the beak of his Phoenix. The bird took a brief sniff of the liquid and shook its head in disapproval upon detecting the potent alcohol. It pecked at its owner's hair as it was dissatisfied with the smell and flapped its wings before soaring up to the window ledge.

Levi praised wholeheartedly when he saw the Phoenix, "I never imagined you could raise the Green Phoenix so splendidly. I still recall when I last saw it—it was merely an egg! Now, look at how magnificent it has become." The Phoenix seemed to comprehend human speech, as it puffed its chest proudly and lifted its sharp beak high upon hearing Levi's praise.

"Of course! You have no idea just what sorts of spiritual nourishment and medicinal fruits I've provided for it," Martin replied in a voice filled with affection for his loyal companion.

"Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on this red wine?"

"It is truly exceptional."

With that, the conversation gradually shifted to the main topic at hand.

"Look, I'm certain you're aware of the ruckus you've stirred up with this banquet of yours. I'm concerned that the headquarters may already have their radars trained on you," Levi cautioned, referring to the Martial League headquarters.

Both Martin and Levi held positions as high-ranking members of the Martial League, as well as being two of the Six Kings. Nevertheless, they seldom attended the League meetings unless they involved significant matters concerning Cathay.
