Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)

Chapter 2149 Death Upon the Banes

Sure enough, Matthew, who sat at the main table, could see everything that happened at the banquet

very clearly.

His mind was full of doubts when he noticed Marissa's displeased gaze. Have I done something

wrong?

Toast after toast, every guest present wished Marissa a happy birthday. At the same time, many

insincerely congratulated Old Mr. Bane for his success in gaining an outstanding disciple.

They had no choice in the matter. It didn't matter whether their hearts were filled with jealousy and

reluctance or not. If they did not congratulate him, it would mean that they were mocking Old Mr. Bane

for selecting the wrong disciple.

Halfway through the banquet, the other great forces also sent a representative to deliver their birthday

gifts and wishes to Marissa.

The banquet slowly came to an end. So, the guests left the venue, one after another.

As for the whole Roxanne incident… None dared to bring up the topic of the marriage proposal. They

were well aware of the final answer just based on Old Mr. Bane and Roxanne's attitudes toward this

topic.

Therefore, why should they get themselves into hot water when they were well aware that the situation

would backfire on them once they infuriated Old Mr. Bane?

Yet, toward the end of the banquet, Albert suddenly brought in two mysterious-looking gift boxes and

handed them to Old Mr. Bane, informing him that they were gifts from a stranger.

Old Mr. Bane opened the boxes doubtfully. Then, he caught sight of a longevity peach, which had been

gnawed out by worms, on the left side of the gift box.

Meanwhile, the gift box on the right side contained a bottle of medicinal wine, and in the bottle was a

long snake with ginkgo fruit in its mouth.

Furthermore, 'Death Upon the Banes' was vividly written on the gift box's lid.

When Old Mr. Bane saw this, his initially delighted expression turned extremely gloomy.

He composedly closed the gift boxes, slightly shook the boxes in his hands, and handed them to Albert

as he ordered, "Throw them away."

Before the servant threw the gift boxes into the trash can, they couldn't hold back their curiosity and

opened it to take a peek.

However, what came before their sight was completely different from what Old Mr. Bane had witnessed

earlier. At present, the medicinal wine in the bottle had evaporated into thin air, while the other gifts in

the box had already turned into powder.

As for Matthew, he was ready to bid his farewell after the birthday banquet was over. "Pardon me,

Master Bane. I shall take my leave first. I will visit you again when I am free."

Old Mr. Bane nodded. "Sure, sure. Go home and train well during this period. You are highly talented in

both medical and martial arts yourself. Hence, I hope that you can perform well in the two competitions.

After all, a peerless genius who triumphs in medical and martial arts has never existed before."

His face was painted with faint anticipation as he spoke.

"I will definitely try my best," promised Matthew. Although many in Bainbridge seem as though they are

congratulating Old Master Bane for accepting me as his disciple, deep down, I know Old Mr. Bane will

be facing quite a number of criticisms. Hence, the best way to shut all their doubts down is to crown

myself as the champion in these two competitions.

Old Mr. Bane nodded after he heard Matthew's words. At the same time, he knew what was on

Matthew's mind. But unlike Matthew, he didn't care about others' opinions at all. In his perspective, the

Banes didn't need to pass others' judgments for their actions.

"Okay. That's it for today. We shall get together again next time. Also, now that you have become my

disciple, remember that you aren't alone any longer. So, if you ever encounter something that you

cannot solve, just come and look for me at the Bane Manor," Old Mr. Bane said as he patted Matthew

on the shoulder. Although he was smiling, it wasn't as genuine as before. Instead, there was a hint of Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

gloominess in his eyes.

It was clear to Matthew that Old Mr. Bane's mood was undoubtedly affected by the mysterious gift

boxes that Albert brought in during the banquet earlier.

Regardless, since Old Mr. Bane was being tight-lipped about this matter, Matthew naturally saw no

need to probe further, so he left after he respectfully bid the Banes goodbye.

However, someone stopped him in his tracks before he approached Renew Pharmaceuticals.

"Uncle Billy!"

Immediately after Matthew saw Billy, he had already guessed the purpose of Billy's visit.

Just as he expected, Billy immediately asked, "Is Brittany doing alright now?"

"Everything is fine. By the way, Uncle Billy, why don't you meet Brittany now that you are here?"

If truth be told, Matthew was also deeply troubled by Billy's reluctance to meet Brittany in the past few

days. He feared he couldn't come up with an answer when Brittany asked him about Billy's situation.

To Matthew's dismay, Billy declined, "There's no need for that. It's inconvenient for me to meet Brittany

at this juncture."

As soon as Billy said that, Matthew's eyes instantly widened in shock.
