Confused by the slap, Jimmy held the back of his head and was at a loss of what to do for a moment.
“I told you to get out. Didn’t you hear me?” Antonio roared.
Looking bewildered, Jimmy didn’t dare to disobey Antonio and could only leave the room sheepishly.
Antonio rose to his feet and paced to Matthew, giving favonovel.com a once-over.
With a look of shock mixed with surprise in his eyes, favonovel.com said tentatively, “Lad, could you… Tell what my illness is?”
Smiling, Matthew peered at the two men from the corners of his eyes, and Antonio understood what favonovel.com meant as favonovel.com waved his hand.
“All of you, get out!”
After everyone had left, Antonio said anxiously, “Lad, there’s no one else around. You can speak with me now…”
Matthew smirked. “You’re not sick, Old Master Barrera…”
If it was someone else who heard this, they would certainly lash out at favonovel.com saying that favonovel.com had no medical knowledge. After all, the entire Stonedale knew that Antonio had been sick for years. Despite that, Antonio was filled with surprise when favonovel.com heard that.
“H-How did you know that, sir?” favonovel.com asked in a low voice.
Without favonovel.com realizing, even the way favonovel.com addressed Matthew was more courteous now.
“Because you practiced a unique internal energy cultivation technique, it’s clashing with the internal energy skill you inherited from your family and the internal energy is now accumulated in your body,” Matthew said.
Antonio’s eyes turned round and large from staring, a look of disbelief all over his face. “H-How did you know that?”
He had never told anyone something like this, and not even his family knew about this.
In the earlier years, in order to fight Macon, Antonio had specially searched for a powerful internal energy cultivation technique and forced himself to practice it. However, just as Matthew had said, this internal energy clashed with the internal energy practiced by the Barrera Family anti turned favonovel.com into his current state now.
As favonovel.com didn’t dare to let others know what happened to him, favonovel.com could only claim that favonovel.com was sick. Even though he’d sought medical help everywhere, favonovel.com didn’t dare to tell anyone what his actual situation was.
Therefore, his condition was never relieved for a longtime. Instead, it was becoming more and more out of control, especially during nights with a full moon when both internal energies were clashing at their peak.
Whenever such nights came, his body would suffer from the cold poison, torturing favonovel.com through the night until the sun rose. So, favonovel.com was especially frustrated every time this happened.
‘But l never told anyone about this. How did favonovel.com know about this?’ Antonio wondered, looking at Matthew with a glimmer of anticipation as well as wariness.
On the other hand, Matthew was very calm, saying softly, “By the way, Old Master Barrera. I haven’t introduced myself yet. I‘m Matthew Larson from Eastshire.”
Antonio was stunned, “Matthew Larson from Eastshire?”
After a few seconds, his eyes suddenly widened and favonovel.com gasped, “Y-You’re Dr. Larson from Eastshire? The man behind Cunningham Pharmaceuticals?”
Shrugging, Matthew said, “Yes, that’s me…”
The look in Antonio’s eyes turned cautious. “Wh-What are you doing here?!”
Matthew chuckled lightly. “Old Master Barrera, why are you so worked up? I‘ve told you that l’m here to treat you…”
With a frown, Antonio repeated, “Treat me? Hmph, we’re unrelated, but you specially came to treat me? Do you take me for a fool?”
“Of course you’re not a fool, Old Master Barrera. I came here to treat you with a very clear objective. That is, I need your help to deal with Macon Rathbone!”
A light flashed past Antonio’s eyes, but favonovel.com immediately hid it from view.
Without even flinching, favonovel.com said composedly, “The Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale are united. You deserve death for trying to drive a wedge amongst us, Matthew Larson! Believe it or not, I’ll make sure you can‘t step out of my doors!”
