Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2118 Death of an Emsgate Warrior

That evening, many organizations had traveled far from Emsgate to Bainbridge.

In order to host them, Aurelius had spent a lot to buy a huge and remote villa. Currently scattered all around the living room of that villa were representatives from Emsgate.

Soon, Fabien arrived. The instant he stepped through the door, he sensed an unusually heavy atmosphere in the room. The quiet room instantly burst into noise when everyone spotted him.

A man in his fifties shot to his feet. His gaze was trained on Fabien the entire time. This man was Kosma Holst, an elder of the One Bird Clan, a hidden sect of Emsgate.

"What is the meaning of this, Fabien Blanc?"

Kosma pointed at the corpse lying in the middle of the room.

Fabien was shocked because he knew the person.

"Is that the team leader?" he gasped.

"We were sharing a pot of tea just earlier today. What happened to him?"

"Stop pretending, Fabien," someone barked.

"As you've mentioned, he talked to you earlier today."

"Now, after sunset, he is dead. Don't you replace that suspicious?"

The person who spoke was Baltazar.

Fabien shot him a bland look.

When he next spoke, he spoke slowly and languidly.

"Mr. Dupont, do you mean to say I was involved in his death?"

Baltazar replied with a scoff, "You said it yourself."

He used to be afraid of Fabien. However, he was now backed up by the many forces of Emsgate that were present in Bainbridge.

Hence, he now spoke with arrogance and confidence. His response merely garnered him another calm look from Fabien.

"Mr. Dupont, please provide evidence when accusing others," Fabien stated.

"You have no proof, which means you can also be a suspect in his death."

"You..."

Baltazar was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

There was a loud commotion at the door.

"Come, come. Masters, please head inside. This way."

It was Aurelius, the head of the Damrons.

He was leading the higher-ups of the Herbal Association and elites from the Harmonious Fields Society through the crowd.

The group was shocked when they walked into the living room to replace a corpse in the middle of the room.

The face of Nozdrin Dall, who was at the head of the group, immediately clouded over.

"What is the meaning of this, Master Damron?" he spat out.

Aurelius had gone stark white when he saw the corpse.

He had only just gone out to escort a group back to the villa.

How could these people leave a corpse waiting in the living room to greet the group?

That would bring bad luck!

Even pushovers had their limits.

There was a stormy look on his face.

"Sirs, I welcomed you here with utmost sincerity."

"Don't you think this is a little disrespectful?"

It was then that Kosma and the others realized they had acted too hastily.

"My apologies, Master Dall," Kosma said. "This is the death of a member of One Bird Clan's inner circle, though. As an elder of the clan, I must get to the bottom of this."

He then briefed the group on the events that had happened.

The ugly look on Nozdrin's face only faded away slightly when he heard the explanation.

Since there was a logical reason for the corpse's location, he decided to overlook the disrespect.

"What is the point of debating? Have we found the cause of death?" Nozdrin asked.

His question made Baltazar and the others look down in shame.

They knew what the cause of death was.

However, there were no wounds found on the body except for a few internal injuries.

Fabien had been regarded as the prime suspect because he had seen the dead man just a few hours ago.

Their silence made Nozdrin turn around to address the group behind him.

"Look into the cause of death," he commanded.

A few Harmonious Fields Society members stepped out from the group.

After a series of brief checks, they had an answer.

"He died due to internal bleeding," they concluded.

Since the examination was conducted by members of the Harmonious Fields Society, there was no doubt about how the man died. That was when Fabien finally spoke up once more. "Master Holst, I believe you know exactly how he was injured?"

As for the response to that question, Kosma helplessly nodded his head. After all, he had approved of the mission at Compassion Pavilion.

Thus, it was clear that the man had died from injuries suffered while on his mission. The only person to blame was the dead man himself for being too weak.
