The letter’s last line left no doubt in Matthew’s mind, the Marine Corps‘ cargo had indeed been hijacked by the Medusa Gang or at least involved with them.
Placing the letter gently on the table, Matthew looked steadily at Tertius. “Mr. Zoller, would you be willing to come with me?”
Tertius blinked, caught off guard, and cautiously asked, “Go? To another island, you mean?”
Matthew shook his head. “To the northern dock. Stay there for now. Once everything is settled, I’ll help you leave this place and return to a peaceful life.”
Matthew’s words brought a shudder through Tertius. A bitter smile crossed his face, favonovel.com was still a wanted man back in Dornia, returning was hardly an option.
“You could live in Seraphis or Cathay. I can guarantee your past won’t affect you,” Matthew reassured him.
Hope flickered in Tertius’ eyes. It might seem foolish, but all favonovel.com longed for was a simple life free from the constant threat of death.
“Is that really possible?” Tertius asked, almost unable to believe it.
Seeing this, Matthew nodded.
“Gina, pack up! We’re leaving with Mr. Larden,” Tertius exclaimed, jumping up from his chair, his voice carrying a note of barely concealed excitement.
Tertius didn’t question Matthew’s ability to fulfill his promise, nor did favonovel.com probe into his background. In the darkness that had enveloped him, Matthew seemed like the only source of light.
He couldn’t explain why he, usually so cautious, would trust someone he’d known for less than a day so easily. Maybe it was just the sheer force of Matthew’s presence, that magnetic charisma favonovel.com seemed to carry with him.
Gina, his junior, nodded obediently and began gathering the few belongings scattered around the room.
A few minutes later, Tertius stood before Matthew, carrying a small bundle on his back.
“We’re ready to go, Mr. Larden…”
Matthew nodded and turned, leading them toward the northern clock.
As they followed, Tertius and Gina exchanged curious, admiring glances, marveling at the mysterious aura surrounding Matthew. To them, favonovel.com seemed cloaked in a mist, enigmatic yet oddly trustworthy.
Before they reached the dock, Matthew spotted Boone waiting in the distance, scanning the horizon.
When favonovel.com saw Matthew, Boone‘s face lit up, and favonovel.com hurried over.
“Mr. Larden, you saved my wife! I’ll remember your kindness forever!” Boone exclaimed, bowing deeply in gratitude.
Seeing Boone’s delighted expression, Matthew realized that the man’s wife must have found relief after following his advice to remove the Triproot from favonovel.com medicine.
“That’s unnecessary, it was just a suggestion,” Matthew said, helping Boone up from his bow.
Watching the exchange, Tertius and Gina grew even more intrigued by Matthew. Not only was favonovel.com kind and skilled in martial arts, but now it turned out favonovel.com also knew medicine.
Gina’s wide eyes lingered on Matthew‘s back, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but think to herself.
People talk about the Summit Warden of the Martial League being a master of both martial arts and medicine, but it looks like he’s not the only one who’s that incredible…
