Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2438 A Confidential Conversation Between Rhett and Blake

"Mr. Wyatt, do you think the legends are true?" Blake murmured as he observed Matthew's departing figure through the window.

Behind him, Rhett sat at the table with his eyes glued to the papers in front of him with a solemn expression.

"I can't say for certain, but it's not a good sign. I always thought that the Zombie virus was just a biochemical weapon. That's why I've been toiling away at developing an antidote in case someone ever decides to unleash it in Cathay. It would be a catastrophe for the entire country if that were to happen, but now, it seems the situation is far more complex as their motives might go beyond what we initially thought." After listening to his speculation, Blake's brow furrowed instinctively. "If the legends are true, we must beef up our defenses. Also, if they succeed, it could spell catastrophe for the entire country." His demeanor turned resolute as he spoke.

"If that's the case, why don't we send someone to Emsgate to investigate?" Rhett suggested, but Blake shook his head in resignation.

"You know how unpredictable that man is. His actions are guided by his whims. Convincing him would be challenging, but I'll still discuss it with him. Alright, alright. For now, let's put aside these worries. Let's talk about the matters related to the Six Kings."

Rhett's tension seemed to ease with the change of subject. Lounging on the couch, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke deliberately, "I'm sure you know about the situation related to Gabriel, King of Stagfort. Despite being the Nolan Family's top Elite, he had no intention of coming to Bainbridge and getting involved in the Nolans. Conversely, Skye Wilson, King of the Western Territory, is obligated to protect the borders, rendering him unable to leave his post. Meanwhile, Heath, the Centourial swordsman, is obsessed with swords to the point of madness and is oblivious to everything else unless his whims dictate otherwise." Then, he continued, "During this time, the King of the South and the King of Rivenia stayed in the Historic District. They sit around all day, enjoying tea and the sun while waiting to set sail for the Endless Sea. Their lifestyles are quite luxurious at this moment."

After describing the situation of the Six Kings, he added, "As for the Ten Great Families, there hasn't been much activity recently. However, on the Banes' side, according to Old Master Bane's butler, they've been targeted by someone. Fortunately, they've thwarted two attempts to infiltrate the Bane Family. Unfortunately, we're uncertain of the intentions, but it's undoubtedly malicious."

After hearing this, Blake immediately furrowed his brows. "Are people so daring nowadays that they dare encroach upon the Bane Family's grounds? No wonder they didn't even show up to watch their favorite disciple participate in the re-election of the Martial League. As it happens, their absence is because their family has been targeted. By the way, is there any way to unveil the identities of these infiltrators?" Rhett nodded, then put down the teacup in his hand. "Based on the information from Old Master Bane, this person is extremely cunning. If my guess is correct, he should be using ninjutsu."

Blake's eyes narrowed in response. "It seems that the people from Emsgate are growing bolder."

However, Rhett's voice remained steady as he responded, "There's nothing we can do. With the re-election of the Martial League underway, Bainbridge has drawn participants nationwide. Even if we were to expose the infiltrator, unraveling their schemes would prove immensely challenging."

Blake concurred, grasping the intricacies of the situation. Then, he voiced an intriguing notion. "Do you think these people from Emsgate have some ulterior motive for targeting Matthew?"

However, Rhett was taken aback by this question and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

After hearing this, Blake shook his head, dispelling the absurd thought from his mind. "Never mind, maybe I just had a moment of foolishness."
