Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1596

As Tristan's search for Matthew downstairs continued to bore no fruit, Zoey came and blocked his path.

"Dear cousin, why are you still wandering about? Uncle Rowan has been looking for you upstairs for so long that he's probably angry right now," Zoey said with a pout.

Tristan frowned. "What does he want from me?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Zoey replied, "How would I know? Perhaps it's because he feels unhappy getting one-upped by Phoenix, so he's planning to start something." Then, she turned her attention to the distant crowd and said in excitement, "By the way, which one of them is Phoenix? Is he handsome?"

With a reluctant expression, Tristan pointed at Phoenix who was at quite a distance away. "That one. He's not your type."

Zoey stared at Phoenix for a while before she suddenly burst into laughter. "How do you know he's not my type? I'll have you know that my taste in men has changed, okay? I've learned to appreciate capable men. It doesn't really matter how he looks. What's important is if the man has the capability and a career of his own, wouldn't you say so? Don't you think that the Lord of Eastshire fits these criteria well? I'm sure many women would appreciate such a man, but what do you think?"

Upon Zoey touching Tristan's sore spot, he clenched his fists tightly in anger. However, she didn't give any moment for him to give his reply as she turned and left in Phoenix's direction with a smile on her face. Looking at how infatuated she was with the man, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. "To treat Phoenix as a common man is just asking fortrouble," he muttered as he went upstairs.

Since Rowan lost to Phoenix, the person involved must have wanted to discuss their upcoming move. When Tristan went upstairs, he found several members of the Cosby Family already there with more on the way. He knew that they were all experts dedicated to their crafts and were very powerful. However, thinking back on how miserable the defeat Rowan suffered to Phoenix, he knew that even a combined effort from these experts wouldn't be a match against Phoenix.

Currently, Rowan was as pale as a ghost. Not only did he suffer a defeat just now, but more importantly, he had stained his reputation. Since he was a man who cared about his reputation, to have suffered such a miserable defeat was a shame he couldn't bear. Thus, he called Sean, the head of the Cosby Family, to ask for him to pressure Levi so that Phoenix would apologize to him.

Unfortunately, Sean didn't even bother with the request. Although he did make the call to Levi, it was just idle talk that ended with Levi expressing his general principle of non-interference. As for the matter between Phoenix and Rowan, both Sean and Levi had only considered it trivial.

As Phoenix was the person Levi valued the most, Sean couldn't very well request Levi to force Phoenix to apologize for such a trivial matter. If he did, it would only anger Levi. Although the Cosby Family was said to have no fear of Levi, the latter was still the King of the South. They would not gain anything from going to odds with him. Moreover, with Phoenix by his side in recent years, his power was at its peak. If they went against him, there

wouldn't be any chance for them to emerge victorious.

Since Rowan couldn't recover his reputation here, he grew even furious. Upon seeing Tristan, he immediately said in irritation, "Where did you go? What took you so long to come back? Didn't I tell you to not walk about when you're here?"

Although Tristan frowned upon Rowan's attitude, he decided not to refute his elder.

Nonetheless, Rowan didn't dare criticize too much. After nagging Tristan for a bit, he turned toward the crowd and said, "The reason I have called you all here today is to discuss how we are going to deal with Matthew Larson of Eastshire."
