Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) -
Chapter 1666
After he retrieved his needles and medicine, Matthew turned around and looked at Freya. "Are you sure you're going to let Crystal go once I treat your brother?" Freya stood in the darkness that masked her expression, so Matthew could only see her nodding.
Matthew nodded his head and said, "Alright, 1 trust you, and I hope I won't regret it." He then reached for his silver needles and began treating Raven, finding his injury similar to Elio's. Nevertheless, Elio had to rely on his inner energy to resist Lord Voodoo's cursed bugs within him, or he wouldn't have returned alive.
Furthermore, he was lucky enough to be treated by Matthew just in time as Matthew happened to be somewhere nearby. Thus, if Raven's condition was the same as Elio's, his injury would have aggravated even with Gregory by his side, for all he could do was to keep the former's injury from worsening. While Matthew believed Gregory was capable of treating Raven's condition, he reckoned it would take him a long time for him to do that.
However, the scenario was different with Matthew's involvement. In less than ten minutes, he kept all the silver needles he'd taken out from Raven just as the latter felt better and sat up straight.
When Freya saw that, her eyes lit up with happiness. However, when she turned her attention to Matthew, her gaze was filled with a strong murderous intent; she knew that he would definitely be able to cure Wilfred from his illness. Therefore, she had no choice but to kill Matthew.
After he kept his needles, Matthew looked at Freya and said, "Now, please release my friend."
However, she ignored him and looked at Raven instead. The next second, Raven stood up and tried taking a few steps to try his luck, whereupon he laughed out loud and complimented Matthew, saying, "It seems that you really live up to your reputation, Dr. Larson. With you around, I bet Elio is probably fine now, right?"
While Matthew nodded calmly, Raven looked up and laughed maniacally. "Good. If that fella dies, there will be no one else left to play with me. I'm fine now, Zina. Let that girl go."
Freya nodded. Just when she was about to do as Raven said, Gregory leaned closer to her and said, "Miss Zina, you mustn't let that lady go. I need her to threaten Matthew so that he'd tell us the Larson Family's secret. If she is gone, he may not give in so easily."
Damn you, Gregory! You're such a cunning bastard! Matthew's face changed at the thought of that. As he was about to say something more, Frey a snapped at him in frustration, "I will not break a promise I've made. I said I'd let Crystal go after he treats my brother. Are you telling me to go back on my words?"
"I understand what you mean, Miss Zina," Gregory awkwardly explained himself. "However, I'm just saying that we should play safe by keeping her with us until Matthew tells us everything we need to know. By then, it's still not too late for you to honor your word and let her go."
Freya then gave him an evil eye and indifferently bellowed at him, "Get lost!"
Gregory was left with his mouth wide agape, not daring to speak his mind any further. After all, while it was easy for him to negotiate with Poison Spider, the same could not be said for Freya. Sensing the rage from the angry woman when she told him to get lost, Gregory knew he would be seeking his death if he pushed his luck any further.
In the meantime, Matthew was stunned to see Freya's honorable side, not expecting her to be a woman of her principles.
Soon, Frey a made a call to her people and ordered them to release Crystal. "Hold on, I'll get my friend to collect her." Matthew then added, "Considering what just happened here in Stonedale, I'm worried for her safety."
"There's no need for that," she answered coldly. "I'm a woman who honors her promise. You have my word that she will return to Eastcliff safely without having anything to worry about. In the meantime, I'll kill anyone who dares to lay a finger on her along with every last one of his or her family members!"
