The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 883

David was speechless, but he realized that it was indeed how reality worked. Then, he asked instinctively, "That's right. What right do you have to do that?"

Having heard that, Orion displayed a ferocious expression and glared at him fiercely. "I don't have the right, but that's just how reality works. There's nothing you can do about it. I've got money, status, and people backing me up, so I can make you suffer and die if you so much as provoke me."

David clenched his jaw when he heard what Orion said. His face twisted in fury, and he felt as if his chest was about to explode from all the rage he felt.

Still, the rationality in his mind kept him in check as he reminded himself, "Hold it in. You gotta hold it in, or you'll be dead if you end up provoking him. You can't leave your daughter alone with all your debts, so you gotta hold it in!"

Seeing how tightly David was gritting his teeth, Orion pursed his lips and scoffed. Then, he turned toward Matthew and asked, "Do you have a budget of 500 grand?"

Matthew answered icily, "Yes!"

His reply was brief and prompt because Matthew was afraid that he'd lose control and end up hitting Orion if he spoke anymore. He had seen all sorts of bullies before, but he had never seen such an unscrupulous person who bullied others.

Orion then nodded and said, "If that's the case, you can come inside."

After he said that, he opened the door, and Matthew walked right in. Behind him, David hesitated for a moment before he followed Matthew in as well.

However, Orion stretched his arm out to stop him. "He's the one who's buying the stone tablet, so he can come in. But not you."

Before David could speak, however, Matthew stepped in and said, "He's the one who dug up the stone tablet, so he's definitely seen it. I'll get him to verify its authenticity, and I'll only make my purchase if he says that the stone tablet is genuine."

Matthew didn't wish to say that David was here just to help him carry the stone tablet out because he wanted to protect David's dignity and earn some respect back for David after Orion's insults.

Orion was a little taken aback when he heard that, but it sounded reasonable, so he could only say reluctantly, "You can come in, then."
