Leonard scoffed with a look of disdain on his face. Just then, the rest of Leonard’s apprentices rushed over, ready to attack Matthew. The security guards on site immediately ran over to stop them but they were held back by Leonard’s men.
“Beat him to death!” one of the apprentices roared as he grabbed a chair and threw it at Matthew.
Matthew finally fought back and with one kick, the chair shattered to pieces. At the same time, he stepped forward and clasped the apprentice’s wrist, grabbed his shoulder with his other hand, and pushed it all the way down. Everybody could only hear cracking noises before they saw the apprentice’s hand go limp as if it had no strength. However, Matthew didn’t stop there and he continued what he was doing.
Leonard’s eyes widened in horror. He suddenly had a feeling that something wasn’t right because the cracking noises were actually the sounds of bones dislocating. The cracking sounds rang one after another, which meant that every bone in the apprentice’s arm were all dislocated.
What kind of strength does he have? Only people who have deep knowledge about the bones of the human body can do such a thing! Even a man like Leonard didn’t have the skills to do it!
Just when he was in deep thought, the apprentice fell to the ground with his bones all dislocated by Matthew. The apprentice was in so much pain that he was wailing constantly. However, he couldn’t even move a finger. The other apprentices still wanted to fight Matthew but they were directly stopped by Leonard.
Then, Leonard frowned and looked at Matthew coldly as he said, “What a talented young lad! I have underestimated you! Dr. Ellis, where did you find such a genius to be your apprentice?”
Dr. Ellis looked joyful as he replied, “Leonard, are you blind?! What qualifications do I have to dare take Mr. Larson as my apprentice? I’m not even worthy to be his apprentice!”
Leonard frowned hard. He could tell that every bone in the apprentice’s body was dislocated before he even checked his body. At the moment, he suddenly thought of a skill that he heard in the past called splitting tendons. This skill could dislocate every bone in the human body and force the person to completely lose the ability to move. However, it was a legend that nobody had seen before, and he never thought that he would witness such a skill from a seemingly ordinary young man today.
He gritted his teeth and said, “I never thought that a man like you can have such skills at a young age. You sure are extraordinary! However, this is a medical skills competition. So what if you’re good at fighting? In the end, you’re just a rude, uncultured man!”
Matthew sneered, “Leonard, aren’t you one yourself for teaching your apprentice the same thing? He started the fight without much reason. Do you accept dumb donkeys as apprentices?”
A cold expression appeared on Leonard’s face and he glared at Matthew angrily. “Young man, you better know your place! Do you really think that you can look down on everyone else just because you have some skills? I’m not even worried about competing with a man with skills like yours! Remember this, there are some people in this world that you can never afford to offend!”
Matthew nodded and replied, “You’re right! However, there’s one thing you should remember. When push comes to shove, I don’t know what I’ll do. You’re standing right in front of me right now and I wonder if you’ll die first, or will your men kill me first.”
Leonard was shocked and he staggered back in fear. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand. “Get him out of here. I came here to attend the conference, not fight with you! Later after the conference starts, I hope that you can still be so arrogant!”
Travis walked up to him and warned, “Matthew, it’s best that you don’t do anything on impulse. I believe that your wife already called you. Don’t disappoint her!”
Matthew glared at him coldly and his hands clenched into fists. “Travis, you really are despicable!”
Hearing this, Travis chuckled and said, “Warriors do not hate despicable methods. Matthew, you’re still too immature to fight me!”
After that, the venue fell into peace and quiet and everybody took their seats. Then, Mr. Harrison appeared and started his speech.
After a few sentences, a man from the Eastshire representatives team suddenly said, “Mr. Harrison, stop this nonsense. May I ask what do you mean by this seating arrangement? Are you looking down on us?”
There was an instant commotion. After all, things like this rarely happened at such an event.
With a cold expression, Mr. Harrison asked, “What’s wrong with it?”
The man sneered, “What’s wrong? Who’s the man sitting next to Dr. Ellis in the first row? What qualifications does he have to be able to sit there?”
Everybody turned to look at Matthew and they started discussing. Those who were arranged to sit in the first row were all famous doctors of each state, which was why everyone wondered why a nobody like Matthew could sit in the first row too. Even if he was good at fighting, he had no right to sit there! Meanwhile, Travis was smirking because he was the one who had arranged for the man to ask that question so that he could embarrass Matthew.
Mr. Harrison replied, “Matthew is a famous doctor from Eastcliff. Is there a problem for him to be seated in the first row?”
The man sneered, “Famous doctor? Mr. Harrison, do you really think that I know nothing? He is just a cleaner at the hospital! How could you let him sit with all the real famous doctors?! Mr. Harrison, this is an insult!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the venue was stunned. Those who came to the conference had gone directly upstairs when they arrived so they didn’t know what had happened in the hall downstairs. Therefore, nobody knew about Matthew’s identity.
After hearing that Matthew was just a cleaner, the crowd went uproarious. They were all famous doctors from various states so they couldn’t understand what qualifications a cleaner had to be able to sit with them.
