Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3379

"Old Mr. Zedler is looking for me? Got it."

Matthew asked Shawn for his phone and dialed Mortimer. The call connected quickly, and Mortimer's voice came through. "Who is this?"

This was Mortimer's private number, only shared with his closest allies.

"Old Mr. Zedler, it's Matthew."

"Matthew! You finally decided to show up!" Mortimer's voice had a tinge of anger, reminiscent of a frustrated elder.

Matthew let out a small, apologetic smile. He hadn't expected so much to happen in the time his phone was dead.

"Old Mr. Zedler, what's going on?"

"Montiria is in trouble. There's a rumor spreading that you never truly eradicated Night Vines. People are saying you only banned its cultivation to secure control over it for personal profit. They're even accusing us of keeping Princess Fiorenna under house arrest and controlling Montiria. As if that's not enough, Dornia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially demanded an explanation yesterday, threatening to send troops to Montiria to prevent the secret spread of Night Vines," Mortimer's voice grew more serious as he explained the situation.

Montiria, though relatively strong, had suffered greatly in the last war. The country's treasury had been drained, and its population had taken heavy losses. Since Gadel had taken power, Montiria had only just begun to recover about eighty or ninety percent of its former strength.

Matthew's lips curled into a faint smile as he replied, "Cathay, as a peace-loving nation, won't stand by and watch as a war destroys innocent lives. We will announce a humanitarian aid package to Montiria, which will include weapons and supplies. We'll also declare a level-one alert, warning Dornia that their actions are destabilizing the region and threatening Montiria's sovereignty."

If Dornia wanted to play games, Matthew was more than willing to join in. Since they wanted to spread rumors of war, he would respond by turning their lies into a narrative of resistance against a looming invasion.

"Alright, I'll coordinate with Montiria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the propaganda department, and the Cathay embassy."
