Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3003

The ominous night loomed overhead as the cloud slowly obscured the moon. It looked like fate was on their side as the cloudy night only made their operation easier to execute.

Judging from the slight sheen on their coats, Fitz and the others had been waiting for Matthew for quite some time. Still, when he arrived at the port, he was surprised to see Solon participating.

"Matthew! Oh, the crown prince is also here! Hey, guys"

"Weren't you at the Great Mountain? Why are you here? Unannounced, too."

Solon ran his fingers through his hair sheepishly in the face of Matthew's questioning.

"My men found a cruise ship deep in Durham Family's waters. Some of them decided to take a risk and snuck a look. The people on board are on the list."

Matthew immediately understood what Solon was getting at.

It was highly likely that these mercenaries and assassins came to the wrong conclusion after failing to locate them. Soon, they fell prey to their pride when they couldn't find any of Matthew's allies.

They mistakenly assumed that Matthew decided to cut it loose in the face of their declaration of war. They thought Matthew had decided to scurry away with his tail tucked between his legs.

As a result, the 20 organizations that had banded together promptly decided to throw a pre-celebration banquet!

It was a rather happy coincidence that one of the cruise ship's service staff was on Solon's payroll.

"You could've just called, you know? You're not skilled in logistics, tactics, or in terms of fighting prowess. So, what can you even bring to the table? Aren't you just being a burden?" the crown prince reprimanded belligerently.

Nonetheless, Solon didn't explode in anger. Instead, he was being rather meek as he kept glancing at Matthew. It was obvious he was silently pleading for Matthew's help.

Matthew couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that. Solon's going to be living in the crown prince's shadows forever if he keeps this up.

"Spit it out. We're allies, aren't we?"

Solon's eyes lit up as he hastily blurted, "Okay. So, my forces have grown too rapidly. We're losing in the arms race because of our numbers. Plus, weaponry gets updated every so often. Our funds are getting low. So, I was thinking we could turn the mercenaries' and assassins' resources into our resources."

Once he finished his proposal, his fingers started fidgeting. Sure enough, his eyes went from flickering to outright avoiding the crown prince's gaze.

Matthew couldn't care less for any guns those organizations possessed. That was because they were of little use to him.

It definitely didn't help that he had plenty of firearms and ammunition at Hulwin! Moreover, they had Solon to thank for the newest intel. So, it wouldn't hurt to consider the spoils as Solon's reward.

"Deal! Still, try to be careful when we're moving. You don't want to get hit by a stray bullet before you can enjoy having an arsenal."

"I totally get it! I'll keep out of the way!"
