Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2095 The Situation in Cathay

However, at the mention of that, Roxanne withdrew her smile. "Yeah. It has healed-"

After a brief explanation from her, Anthony roughly understood the whole situation. As the Bane Family's precious granddaughter, her dyspnea worried the entire family. Hence, he was glad to hear that his niece had healed. "That's great. Your body heals fast. I need to schedule some time to personally thank Dr. Larson."

At the mention of Matthew's name, however, her face always carried a hint of sadness.

Although Anthony was only six to seven years older than Roxanne, he could tell at a glance what was wrong with her. Despite that, he knew his niece well. She might be introverted, but she had a stubborn character. There's no point in badgering her into telling if she doesn't want to. At that thought, he came up with a plan. "Alright, Roxy. I gotta go now."

Given that her uncle had just arrived and hadn't spent much time with her, she told him to stay. "Huh, so soon? You rarely visit Bainbridge, though. Let me treat you to a meal, or Grandpa and the rest of the family will think I'm rude."

In response to that, Anthony offered Roxanne a smile. "I have a lot to settle during this trip. After completing all my tasks, I'll pay you another visit and treat you to a meal. Look, I came in such a rush that I didn' even bring you a gift." After saying that, he spread his palms to show they were empty.

Seeing that, she decided not to make him stay. On the other hand, he left after hastily saying goodbye to her.

Anthony did, in fact, need to take care of a few things while in Bainbridge. First, he had to host a birthday banquet for Old Madam Bane, his aunt. Second, he needed to visit Leanna Sandel to talk to her about the Creative Cloud Spray collaboration. The third and most important thing on his agenda was to attend the re-election of the Martial League.

Though the Martial League and CAUMP were two different organizations, they sought to unite forces and maintain order. As an armed organization, the Martial League played a significant role in the military. Consequently, the re-election was important. The military was present everywhere and consisted primarily of the Ground Force, Marine Corps, Armored Corps, Police Force, Inspection Team, and Undercover Team. They are pivotal figures in controlling and leading the organization.

The formation of the Martial League would inevitably involve members of the greatest families, some of whom were involved in the great war in the South. Some even resorted to outright plotting to advance their own goals. In the meantime, some family members were using their influence in the organization to join the battlefield. After the war, the Martial League suffered heavy damage and lost some of its manpower.

The struggle for interests had always been bloody and brutal, but they eventually received the appropriate warnings and punishments. Due to that, the families restrained themselves and resorted to silent wars instead of open battles. Hence, the combat power of the Martial League had been reduced to an unprecedented level. As a result, the relationship between martial art practitioners and influential families was even more closely linked. It drove the launch of an era where martial art practitioners were respected and those with power were admired.

Ultimately, the Martial League was in charge of internal affairs, while the Armored Corps was responsible for external affairs. Due to the Armored Corps' role as a border defense force, the general populace was utterly subservient to the military and the country.

Without a doubt, it was also the bottom line. No matter how complex the power dynamics of powerful families become, they must always maintain the same dynamics. Moreover, it could provide a certain amount of assistance to talent transfer. After all, if children from powerful families were talented in martial arts, they could be nurtured. Conversely, the Armored Corps usually stood guard at the borders. They joined forces with the Marine Corps or other organizations to expand the boundaries. Hence, the re-election of the Martial League held great importance.
