Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1865

Matthew was convinced that Aurelius' willingness to comply with his request had been instigated by the head of the Damron Family, Mark Damron.

Mark was a man brimming with ambition and schemes, so he would not give up on that matter without a fight. Therefore, he undoubtedly had other plans up his sleeve, which caused Matthew a severe headache. Matthew could devise a defense if the Damrons showed up with real weapons. However, if they decided to do it unethically, Matthew would be unaware of the consequences. Moreover, he could not inform Victor or the others about the situation because they were incapable of handling such a circumstance, and he did not want them to be worried.

As soon as Aurelius spoke with Matthew, he made a public statement in the name of the Damron Family, claiming that a full investigation had concluded that Matthew was innocent of involvement in Jasper's death! After the announcement, everyone was baffled, especially those who had previously used the opportunity to insult Matthew and were now on the verge of crying. What on earth was happening? If the Damrons were so aggressive in their attempt to bring Matthew down, why did they suddenly claim that the issue had nothing to do with him? What were they doing? Was it a joke? Furthermore, the people of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale and Eastshire had collapsed onto their knees upon hearing that.

Even though Victor, Tyson, and the others came to assist Matthew, most families were hesitant to lend a hand. They reasoned that helping Matthew would result in them falling out of favor with the Damrons and actively working toward their demise. Hence, not only were they unwilling to help, but they also made an effort to thwart Victor and the others from assisting Matthew. Moreover, when Victor showed up, the feuds between the various families over who would inherit what escalated rapidly.

As soon as these people received the news that Matthew was no longer at fault, they almost burst into tears! Since he was utterly blameless, everyone else would have to pay the price for it, and none of them would be spared when he began his counterattack. As a result, many people rushed to congratulate Matthew after hearing the news. Despite their superficial congratulations, they were pleading for him to be merciful. Matthew was not interested in entertaining these people; instead, he handed them over to Tiger, Victor, and the others to be dealt with.

It was natural for him to ignore these opportunists, and the necessary punishment had to be carried out, regardless. Those involved who had not crossed the line would be spared, but they would pay a high price. In contrast, his backstabbing aggressors would lose their limbs as punishment for treason. Meanwhile, Matthew intended to balance the forces in these two states by taking advantage of the situation. Later that night, Aurelius brought the Damron Family to Lakeside Garden. Since the Damrons had made the announcement, Matthew was obligated to fulfill his promise and provide the antidote.

As Aurelius watched, Matthew administered the antidote and cured Aurelius' entire family of the poison. Then, he fixed his gaze on Matthew. "Dr. Larson, I've underestimated you. As expected, you are so resourceful that we cannot launch an effective attack! However, you'd better know we're not quite done yet!" he remarked coldly.

Matthew smiled. "Master Damron, you are welcome to visit Eastcliff any time!"

With a sneer on his face, Aurelius and the rest of the Damron Family walked away without uttering a word. As he watched them leave, Matthew knitted his brows tightly. The audacity with which Aurelius threatened him led him to conclude that they had already planned their strategy and were confident in its efficacy. So, they probably thought they'd finally be able to capture him, and given the circumstances, he was in a precarious position.
