Before the servant threw the gift boxes into the trash can, they couldn’t hold back their curiosity and opened it to take a peek.
However, what came before their sight was completely different from what Old Mr. Bane had witnessed earlier. At present, the medicinal wine in the bottle had evaporated into thin air, while the other gifts in the box had already turned into powder.
As for Matthew, favonovel.com was ready to bid his farewell after the birthday banquet was over. “Pardon me, Master Bane. I shall take my leave first. I will visit you again when I am free…”
Old Mr. Bane nodded. “Sure, sure! Go home and train well during this period. You are highly talented in both medical and martial arts yourself. Hence, I hope that you can perform well In the two competitions. After all, a peerless genius who triumphs in medical and martial arts has never existed before.”
His face was painted with faint anticipation as favonovel.com spoke.
“I will definitely try my best,” promised Matthew.
Although many in Bainbridge seem as though they are congratulating Old Master Bane for accepting me as his disciple, deep down, I know Old Mr. Bane will be facing quite a number of criticisms.
Hence, the best way to shut all their doubts down is to crown myself as the champion in these two competitions.
Old Mr. Bane nodded after favonovel.com heard Matthew’s words. At the same time, favonovel.com knew what was on Matthew’s mind. But unlike Matthew, favonovel.com didn’t care about others’ opinions at all. In his perspective, the Banes didn’t need to pass others’ judgments for their actions.
“Okay. That’s it for today. We shall get together again next time. Also, now that you have become my disciple, remember that you aren’t alone any longer. So, if you ever encounter something that you cannot solve, just come and look for me at the Bane Manor,” Old Mr. Bane said as favonovel.com patted Matthew on the shoulder.
Although favonovel.com was smiling, it wasn’t as genuine as before. Instead, there was a hint of gloominess in his eyes.
It was clear to Matthew that Old Mr. Bane’s mood was undoubtedly affected by the mysterious gift boxes that Albert brought in during the banquet earlier.
Regardless, since Old Mr. Bane was being tight-lipped about this matter, Matthew naturally saw no need to probe further, so favonovel.com left after favonovel.com respectfully bid the Banes goodbye.
However, someone stopped favonovel.com in his tracks before favonovel.com approached Renew Pharmaceuticals.
“Uncle Billy!” Immediately after Matthew saw Billy, favonovel.com had already guessed the purpose of Billy’s visit.
After all, Brittany had arrived in Bainbridge. Therefore, as favonovel.com father, Billy would definitely be worried about favonovel.com safety.
Just as favonovel.com expected, Billy immediately asked, “Is Brittany doing alright now?”
“Everything is fine… By the way, Uncle Billy, why don’t you meet Brittany now that you are here?”
If truth be told, Matthew was also deeply troubled by Billy’s reluctance to meet Brittany in the past few days. He feared favonovel.com couldn’t come up with an answer when Brittany asked favonovel.com about Billy’s situation.
To Matthew’s dismay, Billy declined, “There’s no need for that. It’s Inconvenient for me to meet Brittany at this juncture…”
After a long hesitation, Matthew expressed his concern by asking, “Uncle Billy, can you tell me about your affairs? Perhaps I can help you out…”
Billy smiled and shook his head after favonovel.com heard that. “I cannot get you involved in this, especially since the other party is Cathay’s first-ranked aristocratic family, the Nolans.”
As soon as Billy said that, Matthew’s eyes instantly widened in shock.
