After the series of events, Matthew realized Levi was an extremely cunning man.

He secretly sent someone to stop Melvin's subordinate so that Matthew would be left to stand alone without anyone else's help. Thus, Matthew would come to seek his help instead, and that way, he could seize the chance to control everything Matthew did.

Even though he failed to stop Salazar from coming out of seclusion, he didn't just stand by either. He sent someone to keep an eye on Matthew and ensure that the Damrons couldn't take Matthew away. Judging by everything he did, what he had his eye on was still the advantages gleaned from the Restoration Pills.

Melvin was now telling Matthew to pretend that he could not recover from his injuries, which was a way of lulling Levi into a false sense of security.

When Matthew had been in a powerful position, it seemed that Levi had helped him out quite a bit, but in reality, Levi had his guard up against him as well.

One example of this was the way Levi pressured Matthew over the situation with the Damrons.

When it came down to it, Levi wanted to gain Matthew's strength and abilities by keeping him under his thumb.

If Matthew became a cripple, then Levi no longer had to keep his guard up against him.

When Matthew was in power, it was a threat to Levi's position.

However, if Matthew were crippled, then he posed no threat at all.

Furthermore, if he were powerless, it would be a piece of cake for Levi to control him.

Thus, Melvin's plan was targeting Levi specifically.

After thinking things through, Matthew fully understood what Melvin meant and began forming a plan of his own as well.

He rested for a little while before sending someone to bring Dr. Ellis over.

This time, Salazar noted that the person in black was standing outside and eavesdropping on them again.

He secretly signaled to Matthew, who acknowledged it as well.

It was clear that Levi's subordinate was very cautious as well.

While Matthew claimed that his injuries couldn't be treated, the other party didn't take him at this word quite so easily.

If he wanted to fully convince the person, he had to give irrefutable proof in the form of actually doing something.

Thus, he invited Dr. Ellis over to put on a show specifically for Levi.

Matthew told Dr. Ellis that he wanted him to destroy his hara and martial arts abilities.

Everyone exclaimed in shock at his request.

"Must you do this, Dr. Larson?" Tyson pressed frantically. "Isn't there anything else you could do?"

Matthew sighed ruefully. "I wouldn't want to do this either if I had a choice, but my condition being the way it is, there's nothing else that can be done. Although Mr. Whitford is helping me suppress the energy with his strength, this is only a temporary measure. Furthermore, Mr. Whitford has been caught up with everything and used up a lot of his strength too. He can't hold out for much longer. If I don't get the energy out of my body beforehand, then once he can no longer hold it back for me... I'll die! This is the only way for me to survive."

The others exchanged glances before sighing lamentably.

They were all people with close ties to Matthew and were deeply upset at the thought of Matthew ending up in this state.

Dr. Ellis couldn't bear the thought of that either. "Is there really no other way, Dr. Larson? Why don't I get in touch with a few more doctors? We can come together and see if we can find another treatment for you."

Matthew shook his head. "There's no use. My condition is hopeless, and I don't have much time left. Mr. Whitford can't hold on for much longer. I'll just have to trouble you now, Dr. Ellis!"

Dr. Ellis stared at Matthew with a pained expression, but in the end, he sighed heavily and retrieved his silver needles.

"You'll have to bear with the pain, Dr. Larson," Dr. Ellis murmured as he slowly pricked the needles into Matthew's acupoints.
