Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2933

As Niall's voice faded, the entire room plunged into an uncomfortable silence. His brothers who were present stood proudly beside him, clearly intending to show their support.

Dorian felt a surge of anger rising within him. "Silence! If you utter another word, all of you will be sent back."

If their parents hadn't pressured Dorian to include them in the project to boost their status, he would never have brought them along. Where had this group of youngsters who relied on the protection of the Durhams and the influence of their parents found the audacity to speak so arrogantly in front of Dorian?

Luck? What a notion.

After taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Dorian was about to explain everything but Matthew spoke first. "Mr. Durham, there's no need to worry. It's normal for young people to be passionate and I'm not that petty."

Just as Dorian began to relax, Matthew's tone suddenly shifted. "However, it's clear that their personalities are not suited for this project. Your family may be wealthy, influential, and want to elevate their status, but I have a responsibility to the mountain villagers. Mr. Durham, you're an intelligent person and should understand what I'm getting at."

Elevating someone's status is a tactic that works for these prominent families—inserting themselves into a project for appearances while being too timid to take any real action and ultimately gaining a positive reputation. Having witnessed this scenario numerous times, Matthew had already deduced their intentions from the moment they arrived.

Dorian's expression shifted but quickly returned to normal.

"Mr. Larson, rest assured. They will not be involved in this project," he reassured.

He had also grasped the implications of Matthew's words. If these young Durhams participated, it would jeopardize any future cooperation with Matthew. Furthermore, Matthew held a high standing among the locals due to the mountain rejuvenation project and the incident involving the Night Vines, so a single word from him could undo all the Durhams' efforts. Dorian couldn't afford to jeopardize this opportunity for collaboration due to these disrespectful youths.
