Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2209 What It Means to Be a Holy Doctor

At the headquarters of the Martial League, a middle-aged man stood by the window and watched as the people of Emsgate left with furious expressions and dissatisfied hearts.

He asked curiously, "Mr. Wyatt, if you settle things in this way, aren't you afraid that they'd cause trouble in the future out of anger?"

Hearing that, Rhett Wyatt, who was sitting by a table, shook his head uncaringly.

"If they dare to mess around, we will have no choice but to resort to physical means. Recently, the internal power struggles within the Martial League have hindered its progress, and that's why the people from Emsgate have the audacity to act so arrogantly."

"Besides, hasn't the Martial League's prison had quite a few empty cells recently? The lack of people there makes it seem lonely. By the way, have you found the person who assassinated the Golden Swordsman?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man by the window shook his head with a frown.

"We haven't gotten a result yet, but we can confirm that the murderer isn't Matthew."

"All right, just let them make a fuss all they want. If they go overboard, you need not ask for permission and can just subdue them. Also, the Holy Doctor Competition is extremely important, and if anyone dares to get in the way, kill them!"

His words filled the room with a thick air of animosity.

Meanwhile, after the middle-aged man gravely expressed that he understood the instructions, he turned around to prepare for the Holy Doctor Competition.

Of course, there was another reason why the Martial League paid so much attention to the Holy Doctor Competition. The one who emerged as the champion in the competition would represent the highest leve of medical expertise in Cathay, and such individuals were regarded as national treasures.

Moreover, once the champion was determined, the Six Kings of Cathay and the Ten Great Families would all seek to replace a unique and exceptional treasure for them or offer their assistance in accomplishing a task as long as it did not involve the other kings or families.

The purpose of this arrangement was to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the two parties, as well as to fulfill a favor. The Holy Doctor wouldn't simply owe such a favor without reason, and the existence of such a precious and skilled miracle doctor was almost like having an extra chance at life, so both sides would be bound together by mutual obligations.

Moreover, the faction that held power would also ensure the personal safety of the Holy Doctor as it was a mutually beneficial situation for both parties.

The previous champion, Hal Salvatore, had almost completely repaid his favor with the Six Kings and the Ten Greatest Families. Besides, he had been wandering around for years in pursuit of medical advancement and to provide relief to people all over the world, and was basically untraceable.

Therefore, the country was also looking forward to the emergence of a new skilled doctor to form a bond with, and this was precisely what Emsgate was eyeing. If they were able to win this competition, they would have more opportunities to expand their influence in Cathay, thus enabling them to take a big step forward in their plans for invasion.

To that end, they even established a medical school on Cathay's borders that exclusively admitted students from their own nation. By doing so, they would not only benefit from Cathay's profound medical background but also obstruct the chances for local medical apprentices to pursue their studies, just like a blood-sucking fly perched upon a majestic lion using the pretext of improving relations between the two nations while continuously draining the lifeblood from the lion's body.

Furthermore, their actions also led to the establishment of the temporary organization known as Murder Crew. Even if they were unable to claim the trophy in the upcoming competition, their primary objective was to crush the aspirations of Cathay's youngsters in both the medicine and martial arts fields.

To them, as long as they continued executing these plans, the pool of talented Cathay individuals in both medicine and martial arts would gradually lessen, and their nation would eventually turn the tables by using this continuous decline.

By then, they would unleash their voracious appetite and relentlessly swallow the magnificent lion that was Cathay. Hence, their visit to Bainbridge this time was naturally to participate in the Holy Doctor Competition.
