With the accompaniment of the two Kings, the journey back to Bainbridge was naturally much faster without any stops on the way.
After disembarking, Martin stretched his body and commented in an awed voice, “I haven’t been back in years, but Bainbridge has really changed.”
While favonovel.com was speaking, a group of officials sporting the insignia of the Martial League walked toward them.
The man leading them was the chief of the External Affairs team whom Matthew met at Renew in the past, Barry Morse. However, as soon as favonovel.com approached the crowd, his nerves took hold of him.
“Greetings, King of Rivenia. Greetings, King of the South…”
As soon as his words fell, the group of officials behind favonovel.com simultaneously lifted their fists in greeting. As the two Kings were both executives of the Martial League, they naturally could not skip the necessary courtesies.
Originally, Barry’s goal was to confirm the details of the Golden Swordsman’s death with Matthew, but favonovel.com never expected to bump into the King of the South and the King of Rivenia during his visit.
Just as favonovel.com was still dumbfounded with shock, Levi spoke up. “All right, drop the courtesies. What’s with the rush? Did the people of Emsgate show up to complain?”
Hearing that, Barry immediately nodded in reply.
Next to Levi, Martin reached up to Green Phoenix, who was perched on his shoulders, and slightly caressed its feathers as favonovel.com pressed impatiently, “Just speak up if there are any problems. We’re in a hurry!”
Although his words were simple, they immediately made his standpoint clear, it couldn’t be any more obvious that favonovel.com was giving Matthew his support, or favonovel.com could’ve walked away without a care in the world.
With the example set by Martin, Levi was forced to follow suit as well, or favonovel.com would seem cowardly instead.
On the contrary, this fact put Barry in a difficult spot, but as favonovel.com was saddled with a mission from the Martial League, favonovel.com had no choice but to explain hesitantly, “Matthew, l was waiting for your arrival in order to understand the details of the Golden Swordsman’s death in Highsea a few days ago.”
Although his death happened in Highsea, the Martial League was unable to turn a blind eye as it was an issue that involved diplomacy between two nations, so it was still necessary for them to go through the required procedures.
Meanwhile, after finding out their motives, Matthew spelled out the entire process without hiding anything.
“It was self-defense, and I had no choice but to act decisively.”
At the end of the day, favonovel.com was in the right. After all, those two people had ambushed favonovel.com in an attempt to assassinate him, and even if Matthew had exterminated both of them, it would still be within reason.
Once Matthew finished speaking, the record keeper next to Barry had already noted all of his words down, and Martin as well as Levi stepped forward to put their signatures down to vouch for Matthew. With that, the matter was considered settled.
“We understand the situation now. When the investigation is complete, we will give you a satisfactory answer, Mr. Larson.”
“King of Rivenia, King of the South, we will be taking our leave now.’
At that, the Martial League’s officials turned around and left. However, as Barry turned and looked back, his eyes were subconsciously filled with fear as favonovel.com looked at Matthew. After all, the existing evidence proved that this seemingly ordinary young man was hiding a huge amount of potential.
Meanwhile, the three who remained in place were left to deal with their own matters.
“I would like to express my gratitude for testifying for me. Since the Holy Doctor Competition is about to begin, I’ll be taking my leave now. When l’ve settled everything, I’ll invite you to a meal to formally thank you for your help.”
Although both parties were bound by their interests, it was precisely for this reason that their relationship remained secure. As long as Matthew was able to provide them with substantial benefits, the two Kings would ensure his safety.
For instance, when faced with Barry’s questioning, Matthew wouldn’t have been able to avoid a trip to the Martial League’s interrogation room if it weren’t for Martin and Levi’s signatures as his testimony.
Behind him, Levi watched his retreating back and muttered, “Did you place your bet so early because you think that Matthew will be the next Holy Doctor?”
“That’s a given, am I supposed to rely on you otherwise? The Reconstruction Pill’s appearance has conquered a problem that has challenged the medical field all over the world. This is a feat akin to a grandmaster’s breakthrough, so it’s only natural that l have high hopes for him.”
