Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3017

A sly smile crept onto Lucius' lips when he saw the look of surprise on Matthew's face. "That's right. In that case, Sasha won't be seen as an outsider anymore, and we won't need to worry about the Red Fire Lotus."

With this relationship established, all the issues could be easily resolved.

Matthew was stunned for a moment, caught off guard by Lucius' unexpected move. He had anticipated things escalating on the spot or negotiations where he would compensate for the Sacred Mount's losses. However, he never imagined that Lucius would propose a solution like this.

After some hesitation, he did not give an immediate answer. "I can't make this decision alone. I'll need to discuss it with my wife and see what she thinks."

When it came to matters concerning his wife, it was best for her to decide for herself.

"That's fine. Your wife's still asleep in the house. If you're worried about her, you can go check on her," said Lucius.

"Thanks, Mr. Lucius." Matthew clasped his hands together in gratitude, then gestured to the elders before hurrying toward the thatched house.

As soon as he left, the previously silent elders turned their gazes toward Lucius, some with a hint of puzzlement mixed in.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? Weren't we supposed to let me handle this?" Lucius gave a wry chuckle, feeling rather unnerved by the intense scrutiny from these elders.

There was a moment of awkward silence. It's true that we entrusted this to you, but is this really how you're handling it?

After a moment of silence, the Bamboo King abruptly spoke up. "Alright, enough of this meddling, especially from people who already have one foot in the grave. Now that Mr. Lucius has made a decision, let's abide by it! Or are you still harboring ambitions of becoming the lord of the Sacred Mount?"

The other elders' expressions soured at his words.

That's quite a harsh insult!
