Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3667

The Guard Corps stood stationed at the entrance to District 13.

The oppressive, militarized atmosphere made passersby quicken their pace without fail. Two large words loomed over the towering building—'Guard Corps'.

This was the center of authority in District 13.

There was no formal government here, no island governor's office or anything of the sort. Everything was under the Guard Corps' control.

Which meant their power was massive—untouchable, even.

…

"Matteo, in your current situation, there's no way you're getting in to see Mr. Quinn."

Not far from the Guard Corps building, Morton was trying to reason with Matthew. "Even if you did manage to meet him, you're not family or anything. He's not going to hand you a pass just because you asked."

"Thanks for showing me the way." Matthew pulled out ten thousand Dornia Emeralds from his coat and casually shoved them into Morton's hands.

Then, without another word, he grabbed Ariya and strode straight toward the Guard Corps.

Originally, Matthew had wanted to book a hotel and have Ariya rest there, but this stubborn girl refused to leave his side. What could he do? He was the one who picked her up. Now, he had no choice but to bring her along.

…

At the front gate of the Guard Corps, four tall figures in black robes stood guard. Their guns gleamed with a cold, deadly shine.

The moment they spotted Matthew and Ariya, they raised their weapons without hesitation. "Stop right there. One more step and you're dead!"

Ariya flinched hard and instantly ducked behind Matthew.

"I mean no harm," Matthew explained calmly, looking at the four black-robed guards with a friendly smile.

"What's your business here at the Guard Corps?"

Though he smiled, none of the guards lowered their weapons even a little.

District 13 was crawling with people who hated the Guard Corps. They had no way of knowing Matthew's true intentions.

"You better be telling the truth," one of the others muttered. "Otherwise, you're going to end up dumped in the sea like trash."

Matthew stood silently at the gate with Ariya.

…

A few minutes later, the guard returned, drenched in sweat. "You're clear. Go in. If you don't know where Mr. Quinn's office is, just ask around."

The other three guards exchanged glances, then one of them leaned in and asked softly, "Is Mr. Quinn in one of his moods again?"

The sweaty guard nodded, visibly shaken.

"Ever since the young miss fell unconscious, he's been on edge. These days, he snaps at the smallest thing—throws stuff around for no reason."

He glanced at Matthew's retreating figure.

"Hope that guy's not bluffing. Otherwise, not only is he screwed—his girl might have to face the worst thing in the world too."
