Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1950

Levi looked at her coldly. "They're valuable, yes, but for some, they are worth nothing. Take me, for example. I rule the South. These herbs aren't worth much to me." The girl responded in a low voice, "But we're giving these to Matthew. Not like we're using it ourselves. These herbs are worth more than what he can make in years."

A frown creased Levi's forehead. "What's with all the questions? Don't you get it? These herbs are nothing to me. If I were to give something worthless as a gift, do you think Matthew is going to take that well? He's the heir of Billy, a genius doctor, and the owner of the Restoration Pills. The only way to tell him that I think highly of him is to present him with the best things I have."

His words finally sank in. Oh, he still has that pill. That means he's still useful to us. So, of course, Master Levi has to try and befriend him the best he can. That's probably why Master Levi wants to get him the best herbs we have. She quickly nodded. "Understood, Master Levi. I'm changing the present right away." The girl turned around and muttered, "Damn that old git. He knew this would happen."

Levi was right behind the girl, and he heard everything. "Wait, what did you say? Someone told you this would happen?" he asked.

The girl told him everything Lord Voodoo had said to her earlier.

He stayed silent for a while before he curled his lips into a smirk. "I see he hasn't given up on his dream just yet."

Surprised, the girl asked, "Who do you mean?"

"Lord Voodoo."

Her eyes widened in shock upon hearing that. "What? Why? What did you mean by that, Master Levi? Do you want me to kill him right now?"

Levi waved her down. He then got up and approached the door, a sneer hanging from his lips. "I didn't bring him here just to kill him, and he didn't talk so much for nothing. Based on the conversation you two had, he was trying to tell me that he is still useful to me and wants me to keep him alive. Very well. I shall evaluate his current value myself. See if there's any need to spare his life."

The girl trailed behind Levi, her gaze filled with confusion. "Master Levi, so you're saying everything he said to me was actually a message directed to you?"

"Correct." He smiled. "Lord Voodoo is in no state to stand, much less fight. And you're positively not related to him. Yet, he spent his time talking to you anyway and even told you to pick the most valuable herbs of them all. There was a reason for that, and now you know."

A frown creased the girl's forehead. So, that's why he talked to me. She harrumphed with a pout. "That was stupid. Had I taken his advice and chosen the most valuable herbs for Matthew, he would have wasted his time."

Levi shook his head, smiling. "You wouldn't. He knows you're a rebel. You'd do the opposite of what he wanted you to. Besides, you dislike Matthew a lot. Even if you had taken his advice and returned with the most valuable herbs, that'd raise some eyebrows. My eyebrow, specifically. And that'd still lead us to this conversation."

Thunderstruck, the girl finally knew she had just walked straight into Lord Voodoo's trap. Unwittingly. Everything she did earlier was what he manipulated her into doing. He used me! "T-That's horrible! Lord Voodoo is a horrible man!" The girl was furious.

Calmly, Levi said, "Lord Voodoo's potential for growth was mediocre. Yet, he managed to rule over Orleans for decades. He has his smarts to thank for that."
