Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3633

Morton looked genuinely relieved.

"Was I scaring you?" Matthew asked, genuinely curious.

In a place like Blackshore Island, people should expect someone to be talking to them from behind.

Morton's face turned serious immediately.

"Scared? No way. I've been fearless since I was a kid," he said with pride.

"But Matteo, you really can't talk to someone with their backs facing you."

Matthew asked why, prompting Morton to shudder as he remembered.

"Because most of the time, talking to someone like that is asking for trouble—usually a death sentence," he said, his round frame trembling.

"Then the gunfire starts.

"If I hadn't left my gun at home today, I'd have turned and started shooting just now."

Matthew smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't know that was a rule."

Morton waved him off.

"It's okay, Matteo.

"You're new here.

"Honestly, District 13 is safer than most places."

"You wouldn't believe District 9.

"Everyone steps outside with a gun in hand, always ready for anything."

Morton gestured down the worn path of District 13 with pride.

"Everybody walks out the door with a gun in their hand, always ready for whatever," he said, his voice steady.

"Sure, people here are careful, but most just carry a pistol or maybe a small Uzi for backup.

"Our rules are harsh.

"It's life for life.

"If you take someone out, you're signing your own death warrant.

And him—a grandmaster, no less—hanging around there?

The crown prince would probably crack up hearing about it.

"But it's also the best spot to gather intel," Morton said.

For ages, brothels and taverns had been the go-to places for picking up info.

"And there are bars there, too.

"Let's grab a drink.

"You know how it goes—bros stick together through the rough patches, fight snitches, and get bit… well, you get it," Morton cleared his throat.

"We'll just drink and see what we can learn."

Morton's grin stretched even wider.

That was the last bit of persuasion needed.

"Alright, let's roll.

"Entertainment Area's the place to get the scoop."
