Within the consultation room, Arianell and Rose were cleaning up the room and putting away some chairs. However, the glossy lacquer on Matthew’s furniture was being sanded away into nothing by their actions, for they were extremely obstinate.
Matthew could not be bothered to say anything again about their behavior.
It might be good to keep them nearby so that favonovel.com could keep an eye on them the entire time. However, their snake-like behavior was just too much for him, and it was giving favonovel.com a headache. Then, favonovel.com noticed the loud chatter coming from outside.
He put down his pen as favonovel.com reflexively spoke up. “What’s going on outside? Why is it so noisy?”
The moment favonovel.com asked that question, Arianell and Rose immediately stopped what they were doing. Rose jogged out and returned less than five minutes later.
“Master Larson, there is a big group of reporters outside,” favonovel.com said.
“It seems like they’re insisting on interviewing Renew. I also hear that they want an exclusive interview with you!”
Matthew was filled with suspicion when favonovel.com heard that.
Reporters?
It sounded like there were a lot of people outside. Not only that, favonovel.com had a realistic view of exactly how skilled favonovel.com was. Based on what favonovel.com had done in public recently, it was impossible for so many reporters to want to interview him.
He was lost in his thoughts.
Suddenly, the door to his consultation room burst open. Three men favonovel.com did not know walked into the room.
“Hello, Mr. Larson,” the leader of the trio greeted.
He then walked over to Matthew. When favonovel.com saw Arianell and Rose, favonovel.com stopped and pursed his lips.
Matthew instantly understood what the man wanted.
“Ari, Rosie, please step out for a moment.”
With that order made, the two women had to leave no matter how unhappy they were about being dismissed.
One of the trio members followed them out as well, and favonovel.com even closed the door behind him. Evidently, favonovel.com had done that to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. It was only then that the leader continued to speak.
“I am Barry Morse of the martial league’s External Affairs team. Here’s my ID,” favonovel.com stated. “Pardon us, but we have a few questions for you.”
Matthew glanced at the symbol of the martial league on the document shown.
There was a confused look on his face. After all, favonovel.com had been in Bainbridge for a long time now, and this was his first time encountering someone from the martial league outside of General Cobalt.
Barry waited for favonovel.com to nod before continuing with his questions.
“Mr. Larson, where were you after 9.00PM last night?”
Matthew gave favonovel.com an honest answer. “I was resting in my assigned room at Renew Pharmaceuticals the entire time.”
“Can anyone confirm that?” Barry asked.
“Yes,” Matthew answered. “Salazar Whitford, Shawn Warde, and a disciple of a hidden sect can all support my alibi.”
Barry paused upon hearing that. He then waited for his assistant to nod to him, which indicated that he’d finished recording Matthew’s answer.
Only then did Barry continue with his next request. “Mr. Larson, please show us your sword.”
The Bloodreaper was currently sealed away in storage. Hence, the only weapon favonovel.com had on favonovel.com was the Thunder Sword.
When Barry held the Thunder Sword, his hands were trembling the entire time. As a martial arts practitioner, favonovel.com naturally knew just how precious the sword was.
Matthew kept a close eye on Barry the entire time, and the latter first took a few photos of the sword. Then, favonovel.com submerged it in a bottle of tester fluid for a while before returning it.
“Thank you, Mr. Larson,” favonovel.com said. “We will be off now.”
The two men then packed away their things.
Matthew could not suppress his curiosity. “A moment please, Mr. Morse… Pardon my question, but what exactly is going on?”
There was a troubled look on Barry’s face when favonovel.com heard that.
“I’m sorry, but it involves confidential affairs within the martial league. I cannot tell you anything more than that,” favonovel.com replied.
The two men then left the room.
However just before Barry walked out, favonovel.com abruptly stopped.
“By the way, the Holy Doctor Competition will begin soon, Mr. Larson. Please focus on getting ready for it and avoid going out unless necessary.”
He then marched out of the room.
Matthew had a bemused look on his face the entire time.
