Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2205 Establishing a Partnership After Playing Dumb

Faced with Martin's sudden string of questions, Matthew could only forcefully suppress the violent changes in his feelings and emotions.

As a suspect of the mastermind behind the Larson Family's annihilation, Matthew's first impression of Martin was naturally hostile. However, while he had been controlling his emotions all along after embarking on the warship and coming face to face with Martin, he would still let some of his true feelings slip from time to time.

And yet, Martin was still able to catch this unintentional display of emotion. At that thought, Matthew couldn't help but feel a wave of wariness arise in his heart.

At that moment, Martin rapped on the table from his seat.

"Ever since you embarked on the ship, it seemed that you were paying extra attention to me. Moreover, your eyes were filled with animosity whenever you looked at me. Are you still going to deny this, Matthew?"

His words lifted a boulder off Matthew's shoulders.

After they exchanged questions, he now understood that there was no sign of animosity in Martin's words, as if they were just having a conversation as regular friends. Moreover, if Martin truly wanted to hold him accountable, he would not be wasting his time speaking to him now.

"I'm not necessarily denying it either. It's just that as someone who's not only the Lord of Eastshire but also the owner of the Reconstruction Pill, I can't help but feel displeased that you've never extended an invitation to me, Mr. Martin."

Matthew understood that at this moment, any explanation would just be useless. Besides, the more he tried to excuse himself, the more it would spark Martin's displeasure instead. Hence, it would be a better option to act like a fool and express his sincerity in a humorous manner instead.

Matthew didn't look down on himself at all, and it was quite the opposite. As the Six Kings were on par with the Ten Families in terms of status, the only reason why Martin would look for him was either to pick a fight or for the sake of his personal interests.

Clearly, the first option had been ruled out, which meant that Martin's objective must be for his own benefit. And the only thing Matthew owned that could potentially entice him was the Reconstruction Pill. While Matthew had already caught on, it was clearly not the time to push any further. What was more important at the moment was to take care of the matters at hand.

Naturally, such a response greatly surprised Martin, who never expected Matthew to be just as skilled as Levi at spouting lies. Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Martin-the main reason why he had invited Matthew for a meeting was for the Reconstruction Pill.

"In that case, it was my mistake for not paying enough attention. Here, I'll drink this next glass as an apology."

"Furthermore, the Reconstruction Pill is selling like hotcakes under Levi's management, and even I can't help but feel envious upon seeing how much of a fortune he's making every day. I wonder if it would be too shameless to ask for a partnership."

Upon saying that, he lifted his glass once more and raised it toward Matthew. Clearly, the King of Rivenia was also an expert in playing dumb.

At that moment, Matthew pretended to hesitate for a moment before he eventually agreed, "I'm fine with it, but Master Levi is already in charge of the Reconstruction Pill's domestic market. If you want to join us, Mr. Martin, we can only expand our business internationally."

After saying that, Matthew shrugged his shoulders and silently waited for Martin's reply.

Martin nodded at his words, feigning a look of reluctance.

"Well, expanding a business internationally isn't an easy feat. However, I can't exactly compete with Levi either, given our close friendship."

"International it shall be, then!"

Hearing that, Matthew could barely hold himself back from rolling his eyes. Handing the international market to Martin was like a hand in a glove-the perfect match. He hadn't expected Martin to act so hesitantly, and it honestly was a little shameless of him.

Even so, Martin seemed unfazed by it all, seeming completely at ease. After saying his piece, he once again raised the glass of wine on the table.

"In that case, I wish us a pleasant collaboration in advance. As for the profit allocation, we can talk about it in detail when we return to Bainbridge." With that, they clinked their glasses together, signaling the beginning of their partnership.
