Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1938

Matthew's heart sank upon seeing everyone's expressions. "What happened? Is... Lord Voodoo dead?"

"He's not dead," Tyson quickly clarified.

"What happened, then?" Matthew asked.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Larson," Victor started quietly. "We... We didn't manage to keep a hold of Lord Voodoo. Someone... took him away..."

"What?!" Matthew exclaimed.

Tyson sighed. "We were about to bring Lord Voodoo back when a person in black showed up and snatched him away. The black-clad person was too strong. We... couldn't put up a fight and had failed to stop him..."

Matthew's brows furrowed tightly.

He never thought this would happen.

Lord Voodoo had neither the Stargulf's fruit nor his martial arts abilities. He was crippled and could be considered completely useless now.

Under these circumstances, who would come and take him away? Why did they want to take him away?

After pondering these questions for a moment, Matthew waved them off and said, "Since someone rescued him, we can just forget about it. That old man is crippled now and won't pose a threat to anyone. There's not much he can do even if he survives. We'll just leave him be!"

He then acted as if he was exhausted and had everyone leave the room.

Salazar remained with Matthew because he still had to suppress Falconn's strength. Matthew was doomed if Salazar left!

Once everyone was gone, Matthew eyed Salazar and gave him a signal.

Salazar didn't say anything. He waited for quite some time before murmuring, "Alright, you can speak now."

"What was going on just now?" Matthew asked quietly.

"Someone was nearby listening in on our conversation," Salazar replied.

Matthew's expression stiffened slightly as he probed softly, "Who was it?"

"It's most likely the black-clad person from last night," Salazar responded.

Matthew frowned.

Two martial arts experts appeared last night. One was the Emsgate Warrior that Macon had hired, and the other was the person in black who showed up all of a sudden.

The situation wouldn't have been as critical last night if it hadn't been for the appearance of that person in black.

However, no matter how hard Matthew tried to think things through, he couldn't figure out who that person was.

He could tell that the black-clad person wasn't in cahoots with the Emsgate Warrior.

As for last night, it made sense that Macon brought someone over.

After all, Macon did know about the Stargulf's fruit, and when Lord Voodoo leaked his supposed hiding place on purpose, Macon knew about it, too.

Thus, it wasn't surprising that he brought an expert over to snatch the Stargulf's fruit.

But why did that person in black show up?

Matthew was certain that not many people knew about Stargulf's fruit.

Apart from Lord Voodoo, Gregory, and Macon, only he, Melvin, and Salazar knew about it.

Lord Voodoo and the other two wouldn't have let the secret out, while Melvin and Salazar were people Matthew had absolute faith in. He knew for sure they wouldn't leak it out either.

In that case, how did the person in black find out about the whole affair with Stargulf's fruit?

Matthew was deep in thought when Salazar handed a bottle to him. "By the way, Melvin sent someone to bring this over for you. He said it's some medicine that you left behind in Eastcliff. Take a look and see if it's of any use to you."

Matthew was startled. I didn't leave any medicine in Eastcliff, though.

Why's Melvin sending this bottle over now? What does he mean by this?

He took the bottle and checked the contents. There were indeed a few pills inside.

However, these pills weren't made by him.

He gave the pills a cursory glance and noticed that one of the pills looked a little odd.

He took it out and was taken aback to find that it was an empty capsule.

After breaking it open, he found a piece of paper inside with only one word written on it-Quirk!
