Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3446

Mack noticed Matthew's odd expression and immediately got defensive. "Why are you looking at me like that, Matteo?!"

"I was just marveling at how sharp you're getting. At this rate, I won't be able to keep up with you, Mack."

"Hah! No way, Matteo—you'll always be the deputy chief of the Veiled Assembly!" Mack chuckled, scratching his head sheepishly, as clueless as ever.

Matthew sighed. Still the same Mack.

"You might want to lift your head up first," Matthew advised, looking at Casimir, who was still catching his breath and doing his best to look as if he'd just rushed over with everything he had.

"Oh, right! Uh… Stop, everyone!" Casimir managed to say, finally looking up, only to freeze in shock, his words caught in his throat.

Before him stood a group of burly men with grim expressions, all armed, and in front of them, a huddle of men crouched with hands on their heads.

"Um… where's Deadeye?" Casimir asked, struggling to process the scene.

Matthew pointed to a distant figure sprawled on the ground. "Over there. Why do you ask?"

Casimir's gaze followed Matthew's finger to the lifeless body. Even from afar, he could tell it was Deadeye.

Casimir felt a sinking sensation in his gut as he looked at the tense, unfriendly faces around him. In his attempt to play the mediator, he'd only brought himself forward, leaving the rest of his men hidden behind.

"Oh, nothing… I only came because I'd heard there was fighting. As a member of this island community, I felt responsible to step in and mediate. But now that everything's sorted out, I'll be on my way."

If Deadeye could hear him, he'd likely be cursing Casimir from his grave. Casimir, ever the diplomat, was acting as if all was well now that Deadeye was gone.

Matthew's expression turned into a sly smile. "Chief Falkrenn, since you're here, why not stay a bit longer? Wouldn't want anyone saying the Veiled Assembly didn't treat its guests properly."

"Oh, no need, you're far too kind! I still have business at the dock, so I'll take my leave. I'll be sure to visit another day to make up for it!" Casimir said hastily, eager to retreat.
