Chapter 2014
When Levi caught news of Matthew and his friends' safe arrival in Bainbridge, he finally smiled. Ever
since the group that came to stop Perry's motorcade appeared, he was worried someone might find out
where Matthew was. The masterminds of the interception would realize something was wrong if their
henchmen didn't report back for too long. Once they realized they had fallen into a trap, they would
change their plans.
There were only so many routes from the South to Bainbridge. All they had to do was go through the
process of elimination, and they would find out where Matthew was sooner or later, and Levi wouldn't
be able to help them. The only thing he could do was pray that Matthew and his gang could make it to
Bainbridge before these interceptors realized what their plan was, and fortunately, they succeeded.
Someone came in and placed the files he was holding on the desk. "Sir, this is the travel records of
Matthew we came up with, thanks to the crown prince's assistance."
Levi nodded and went through the files, but the more he read, the more his eyes were filled with
mockery. "Heh. I guess rulership has corrupted them. They lost their edge."
Aside from the blockade at the bridge, everyone else sent out about a hundred men at most. Not
enough for big projects, too many for small targets. They couldn't have stopped Matthew with this.
However, as a ruler like them, Levi knew what they were concerned about.
The military and the rulers. With the competition drawing near, Cathay's rulers—save for a few who
have been corrupted by greed—wouldn't want anything that would threaten the nation's safety to
happen. A hundred men are probably the most these people could send out. One thing annoyed Levi,
however. He didn't like that Freya was friends with Matthew. She reminded him of Heath, and he
couldn't help but frown. Heath was the reason Patrick had to go through recovery.
The moon climbed high into the skies, and stars twinkled around it. After one night's rest, Matthew was
refreshed once more. He made his way to the lobby early in the morning, but to his surprise, the crown
prince woke up earlier than he did. After he asked around, he found out that the crown prince left with
his friends in a sports car when dawn broke.
Matthew shook his head. I knew he wouldn't stay around for long.
Poison Spider entrusted the crown prince to him because she wanted him to escort Matthew, and
because she wanted her son to see more of the world, but the moment he came to Bainbridge, he left
with his friends to a faraway place. Matthew had to say that the crown prince knew a lot of people. He
didn't think the lad could go around in Bainbridge, yet he did.
Now that they were in Bainbridge, there was no need to worry about their safety anymore. Anyone who Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
tried to threaten them would have to face the full might of Cathay. Matthew came to the lobby alone
and saw the receptionist who welcomed them there too.
The young lady happily approached him. "Dr. Larson, you're awake. Here, have a seat. I'll make some
tea for you. The other representatives will be here soon. It's exciting to see young, talented minds
gather together."
It was dark the night before, and on top of that, Matthew and his friends looked weary, so she didn't
notice how handsome Matthew was. Now, she kept stealing glances at him, and she was happy to talk
more. "Here is your tea. Call me if you need anything."
"Thank you." Matthew took the tea and started to observe his surroundings. The medical center was
big, about three thousand square meters. A wall stood in the center, separating the center into the front
and back area. The back area was filled with racks that contained assortments of herbs in them, while
the front was the consultation area.
The rooms were locked, but Matthew knew those were the consultation room. He had a room himself
as well. It was beautiful and retro, but the materials were far too new. He could see that it was
decorated very recently.
