Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2453 Vernon's Determination (2)

Blake was the leader of the Martial League. Therefore, he could never do as he pleased. Unlike the Six Kings, who could slaughter the people of Emsgate freely just to vent their anger, he must take Cathay into consideration when he was making a decision.

One false move could lead to devastating consequences.

He had always known who was officially involved and who was behind the massacre of the Larson Family and the civil war afterward.

However, the war had decimated the population of Cathay. The country couldn't afford another war.

After arresting and punishing some of the participants as a warning to others, the matter was left unresolved.

When Vernon saw the conflicted expression on Blake's face, he persuaded, "They knew you have a lot to consider, that's why they took advantage of it and became so rampant. I'm not saying this for my own sake, but you all know Matthew's potential. If it wasn't for the fear of my enemies coming after me, I would've taken him back to Jade Mountain Island long ago. We have been friends for years, and I don't want to sound harsh. However, Matthew is the only bloodline of my daughter. He can sacrifice for Cathay. But if he falls victim to a conspiracy, as his grandfather, I'll definitely seek vengeance for him."

He continued in determination, "My family had once put themselves in danger to aid the Larson Family. You know me well. I'll do anything for my loved ones. I hope you won't stop me by then." His words came out full of resentment, but he also sighed heavily after the speech.

"We are growing old, but the youngsters are out there thriving. If we don't do what we have to do now, we may never be able to finish it in this lifetime. Not every elder can save the day like you. You should get what I mean."

At last, Vernon patted his clothes to even them. "I have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay for long. Take care and goodbye."

Then, he began to walk away. He left the room in the blink of an eye.

Blake stared at the untouched tea on the table in silence for a long time. Vernon's words lingered in his mind.

The two were long-time friends. He knew Vernon's personality best.

Back when the Larson Family was doomed to death, Vernon resolutely led his family to charge in. After saving the last person in the Larson Family's bloodline, he turned his target to Emsgate and killed a prominent figure in the country. The government of Emsgate still resented him for it.

His family suffered a great loss after a series of battles.

After the war, the Martial League protected them by helping them to retreat to Jade Mountain Island. The family resided there, keeping a low profile.

The series of battles had proven their courage to the world.

Blake wouldn't doubt Vernon. If anybody attempted to assassinate Matthew in Bainbridge, Vernon would definitely make them pay.

By then, it would be a catastrophe.

"My friend, that's easy for you to say. But I'm responsible for the lives of billions. A small move would lead to a big change in the situation." Shaking his head bitterly, Blake withdrew his killing intent.

"He's right, though. Cathay has been quiet for too long to the point where they've almost forgotten that we Cathians shouldn't be underestimated."

"Call in the elders. Ask them to get to the headquarters as soon as possible. We are having a meeting. Ask the head of the Harding Family to come as well."

That morning, the core management of the Martial League gathered at the headquarters.

It was a simple meeting.

There was only one core principle, which was to fully develop the potential of the Ground Force to the level of the Armored Corps, so it could stand as an independent unit. Although it wasn't outright mentioned, the participants were well aware that another war machine was about to rise within the Martial League.
