“Young man, since I’ve chosen to approach you gently, can I hope for your honesty?”
Matthew nodded in confusion. Although favonovel.com wasn’t sure of this person’s intentions, favonovel.com knew well that an Emsgate woman who practiced martial arts wasn’t likely to be a good person.
“Very well, I just want to know, during your duel with Chad Talone, what was the final so-decisive move that led to your victory?”
Originally, favonovel.com intended to use the term “sneak attack”, but it felt inappropriate, so favonovel.com rephrased favonovel.com words.
“Are you referring to the flying needle technique?” favonovel.com said, extending his uninjured palm, and a black glowing needle hovered steadily in his hand.
At that, Winona’s initially calm expression suddenly fluctuated. A faint murderous intent emanated from favonovel.com gaze. However, this fleeting killing intent quickly vanished, concealed by favonovel.com demeanor.
“Yes, yes, that’s it. Young man, where did this flying needle come from? Could you explain in detail?”
Frowning, Matthew pretended to ponder for a while before speaking seriously, “Oh, this? It was presented to me by Mr. Wyatt, the Great Elder of CAUMP, after the Holy Doctor Competition. As the new Holy Doctor, it was a reward.”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, Winona sensed something unusual in Matthew’s words.
The Holy Doctor Competition took place some time ago. If Matthew had possessed the Solitary Nine Needles since then, it wouldn’t make sense for favonovel.com to withhold such a powerful trump card during the confrontation with the Talone Sect and the Anbes.
This indicated that the person who rescued Matthew the night before was likely connected to the Solitary Family or had an extraordinary relationship with them. Furthermore, the Solitary Nine Needles must’ve been given to Matthew at that time. However, the Solitary Nine Needles were the treasured possession of the Solitary Family, and it was unthinkable for them to entrust it to an unrelated person.
If Matthew knew what Winona was thinking at this moment, favonovel.com would surely be shocked. She seemed to know more about the entire incident than favonovel.com did. Yet, Winona maintained a smile on favonovel.com face, though favonovel.com eyes held a touch of coldness.
“Holy Doctor Larson, you are not being honest. If that’s the case, I might have to resort to some tricks.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com slowly approached Matthew. In the palm of favonovel.com hand, a faint black light emerged.
However, Matthew, lying on the sickbed, seemed unfazed by Winona’s threat, merely shaking his head in resignation. “Sigh, you don’t believe me even when I’m telling you the truth. ls suspicion that deeply ingrained within the Spiritualist Clan?”
Winona’s movements in favonovel.com hand paused involuntarily, and favonovel.com asked, “Spiritualist Clan… You knew my identity from the beginning?”
As favonovel.com said it, favonovel.com suddenly realized that favonovel.com might have been played by Matthew.
“Of course. Are you underestimating me, ma’am? I’m the Holy Doctor of Cathay and also the branch master of the Martial League, after all. Do you have any idea how illustrious the name ‘Winona’ sounds? Oh… Just kidding. I’m messing with you, old h*g…”
Winona’s initial smile vanished Instantly. She had put in countless efforts to maintain favonovel.com youthful appearance, and what favonovel.com despised the most was being called “old h*g”.
For a moment, the air in the ward became thick with a strong sense of hostility. However, just as quickly as it had appeared, the hostility dissipated within a blink of an eye.
After the brief surge of anger, Winona immediately realized something was amiss. It seemed that Matthew’s words were intentionally provocative.
“Mr. Larson, it seems like you are deliberately trying to provoke me,” favonovel.com said while approaching his sickbed and sat down slowly.
She extended favonovel.com slender fingers and let favonovel.com nails lightly trail across Matthew’s cheek.
