Matthew approached Easton and was ready to offer a hand, but he was rejected. "It's no big deal, Mr. Larson. I only have minor injuries. You can go ahead and help Lola out. She's severely harmed because of the attack."
While saying that, Easton had an evil sneer plastered on his face. Matthew was confused, so he shook his head and proceeded to assist other hidden sect disciples. Nonetheless, he received similar remarks.
Everyone requested him to treat Lola first, their smirks equally heinous. They were all participants in the Holy Doctor Competition. Therefore, it was no doubt that their medical skills were impeccable.
Matthew was well aware of the treatment method for Lola's injury due to a violent interruption to her nimbus. It's just Qi acupuncture! But how can I perform it through her garments? There must be something going on. Why is everyone smirking at me when they are all clearly hurt?
He was dumbfounded. Roland must've led them astray!
Roland, severely thrashed by Salazar, sneezed numerous times not far away. "Ugh! Who's speaking ill of me behind my back again?"
…
On the host's side, the feast was about to commence after a long preparation by the seniors of the Cathay's Union of Medical Practitioners. The large circular table in the opulent room lay with mouthwatering dishes and delicacies, whereas the central figures of the hidden sect were seated in front of the table.
The dinner was about to end when the cheerful ambiance was unexpectedly interrupted by some news. 'The temporary residences of the participating disciples at Renew Pharmaceuticals have been assaulted.'
As soon as everyone was informed of their disciples' safety, they heaved sighs of relief. Thereafter, the seniors, who led the participating disciples, reprimanded with a gloomy look, "The Cathay's Union of Medical Practitioners should take responsibility for this matter! If you can't even ensure the safety of the participating delegates, there's no point in us joining this competition!"
The most annoying part was that the seniors were enjoying the banquet while Renew was getting attacked. After hearing the chastisement, the seniors of the Cathay's Union of Medical Practitioners showed glimpses of innocents.
Several expert doctors from Emsgate jeered secretly when they heard her comments. Do you think the Baeddan Family is invincible? How dare your little tribe wreak havoc in Bainbridge.
Just as everyone was internally criticizing her, a figure entered the hall unhurriedly.
"Who are you?" Orlaith, who got increasingly furious, inquired fiercely.
"I'm General Cobalt from Bainbridge. I'm sure you know the reason why I'm here. Let me relay a message from the higher-ups—you are free to air whatever personal issues you may have. However, we will punish you harshly if you jeopardize Bainbridge's safety."
He turned to leave after speaking, ignoring Orlaith's rage. Suddenly, he came to an abrupt halt when he approached the door. "By the way, Miss Baeddan, it's your good fortune that things didn't escalate. Moreover, we do not want to jeopardize the close relationship between the two countries. This time, it's merely a warning. If something similar happens again, the Baeddan Family will not be able to defend you."
