Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2010

With the medicine industry's growth, along with it was the appearance of many miracle doctors. And thanks to them, a lot of diseases were slowly getting wiped out. Even so, cancer remained to be one of the toughest demons to deal with. Anyone who could cure even a single type of cancer could save millions or even billions of lives.

Matthew's Reconstruction Pill could not only cure three kinds of cancer, but it could also strengthen the body of those who took it. Naturally, it was desired by many. Someone did the calculations and realized that if this pill made it to the market, it could easily make billions or even trillions over time. It was why so many people wanted it.

Yet that kind of profit was nothing for Matthew. He knew recipes for even more powerful pills. All he needed were the ingredients for them, and he could make pills ten times stronger than Reconstruction Pill at the very least. However, there were two reasons he didn't do that. One, he lacked the ingredients, and two, he was too weak to protect these items.

The Reconstruction Pill alone put a big target on his head, keeping him locked in the South. If he made pills that were more powerful than that, everyone would be after his head. He needed a chance-a chance to grow at ease, and now he saw that chance: the Holy Doctor Competition. Matthew was confident he could become champion.

If he could be the top doctor in the nation, he would be one of the most celebrated figures in Cathay's world of medicine. In a sense, Cathay would be his partner and protector. Anyone who wished to bring him harm would have to face the wrath of Cathay. That was not a consequence that they could bear.

Moreover, nobody knew if they could go their whole lives without falling ill. If they were to run into some complex disease, a talented doctor would be their savior, and Matthew was arguably the most talented doctor of them all. He could save anyone as long as they were not dead.

With his pills and medical skills, his forces would grow quickly as well. This competition was integral to his plan of revenge, and this man-who stood in his way-was stopping his path of vengeance. That made him Matthew's sworn enemy. He had no idea if Bloodreaper could kill the man, but he had to try.

As he focused his strength on the blade, the bespectacled man noticed the murderous intent around him. He let the blade go and pushed Freya backward, then the man approached Matthew solemnly. "I do not wish to fight you. Do not make this hard for me."

Matthew didn't budge. "Sorry, but this is what I must do." If I can kill him, his lackeys will retreat. Without this man, they are nothing.

Matthew was ready to unleash the sword energy, but just before he swung his blade, another group of people came. "By order of my family head, I shall escort Mr. Matthew Larson into Bainbridge." Everyone looked in the direction of the announcement, and they saw the Cosbys' elder coming up to them.

A frown furrowed the bespectacled man's brows. "You wish to meddle, Cosby?"

"Oh, we're not meddling. We're just going to escort our young friend into the city." The elder sneered and waved at Matthew. "It has been a while, my young friend. You promised to visit us. I hope you haven't forgotten."

Matthew heaved a sigh of relief. With the Cosby elder here, they had a chance of entering the city.
