Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3439

After dinner, Tertius noticed Matthew sitting quietly at the dock's edge, gazing at the water. Curious, he walked over and asked, "Mr. Larden, what are you looking at?"

Matthew, deep in thought, was pulled from his reverie by Tertius' question. He turned and replied, "I'm thinking about the dock's future."

Tertius, intrigued, sat beside him. "Isn't the dock doing just fine now? Is something wrong?"

Matthew's gaze drifted to the lake's surface, his voice barely above a whisper. "This place isn't like back home, where rules mean something. Here, they are just a flimsy illusion, broken at any moment."

"You're worried that the other docks or the Island Watch might attack us?" Tertius quickly grasped what was weighing on Matthew's mind.

"No. I think they've already started moving," Matthew replied, a cold gleam in his eyes. He had sensed the sudden flight of birds in the distance and felt faint tremors in the ground.

Abruptly, Matthew stood up and shouted, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The men lounging on the dock fell silent, surprised by the urgency. Yet, trusting Matthew's judgment, they hurried back to retrieve their weapons without question.

"Hide in the woods around the dock, and get ready to hit them hard when they arrive!" Mack growled, anger simmering in his eyes as he relayed Matthew's instructions.
