Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2142

Actually, Old Mrs. Bane didn't really like Matthew, and she even found him a little distasteful. In her opinion, Matthew probably planned the whole thing. He probably deliberately hurt Anthony's arm just so that he could treat it with his superior medical skills.

By doing this, not only would Anthony feel guilty, but he would also develop a liking for him. He's so skilled at playing 'carrot after stick' that nobody noticed anything amiss. He's still so young yet he's already so cunning. No wonder Roxanne is completely under his spell and he's on her mind all the time. Meanwhile, he couldn't be bothered to waste a second toward the other regular members of the Bane Family.

When she considered all these factors, she reckoned that Matthew was purposely trying to get into the good books of the Bane Family's main family. He probably figured that he would use the Banes as a stepping stone to expand his influence by leeching onto them since they were a powerful family.

At the other side of the party, everyone was already waiting in excitement. So, when Old Mrs. Bane appeared, they all stood up to welcome her.

Born in one of the top ten families in the country, Old Mrs. Bane was from the Harding Family and her maiden name was Marissa Harding. Her family had invested in the Martial League since she was young and had countless disciples within the organization. Over the years, many of those disciples were now important and influential figures in the Martial League.

Once she was seated in the center seat, everyone immediately started giving her birthday wishes on behalf of the group they represented. "Happy Birthday, Old Mrs. Bane! We wish you a long, healthy life!"

Marissa answered them happily, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday party. I'm deeply honored by your presence. Please be at ease and take your seats."

After that, everyone took their seats, and it was time for an important part of the banquet—revealing the gifts.

This was supposed to be a way to express the thoughts of the guests attending the banquet, but it slowly turned into a competition due to selfishness and vanity.

"The Damron Family of Bainbridge presents a three-foot angel sculpture." When the master of ceremonies started speaking, the noises from the crowd died down and the room turned silent before a round of surprised gasps echoed.

The gifts from the Lullaby Family were announced one by one, followed by the gasps of astonishment from the crowd because those antiques were incredibly rare, especially the drawing from Micah Wikaedal, which was so rare that not even money could buy.

Alas, Marissa wasn't interested in these things, but she understood that the Lullaby Family was trying to use this opportunity to pass these gifts to her husband rather than giving it to her as her birthday presents. After all, it was a well-known fact in the city that he enjoyed collecting antiques.

"King of the South, Master Levi, presents a pair of jade, and the unrivaled swordsman, Mr. Heath Solis, presents a sword."

Their gifts paled in comparison to the ones from the Damron and Lullaby Families. Even though they were uncommon, they could barely compare to the ones before them.

Nevertheless, the Six Kings didn't have a friendly relationship with the Ten Greatest Families and they were always fighting against each other in the dark. This was an open secret, and the gifts today were mainly to maintain the facade of politeness and peace between each party.
