Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3478

"Shaun Mendoza recently came into a lot of money. Do you know why?"

The Viper Crew man shook his head, clutching his aching abdomen as he answered, "Mr. Mendoza doesn't let anyone ask about that. If someone does, he kills them. We don't dare to even mention it."

"Where is he now?"

"I don't know," the man replied, his voice trembling. "All I've heard is that he went to some underground fighting event."

Matthew nodded. It seemed the previous information he'd gathered wasn't a lie, and the fight Shaun had joined was likely the same one he'd been invited to by that young man earlier.

"You may leave," Matthew said. Then, with a faint smile, he added, "Of course, if you're feeling brave, you're welcome to come back with more people."

Matthew didn't kill the man. He hadn't come here with murder in mind. The man should consider himself lucky—if his intentions had been to seriously harm Matthew, he would already be a corpse.

"T-Thank you," the man stammered. He struggled to his feet, bowing over in pain as he scurried away into the distance.

Being a member of the Viper Crew, he knew no one on the island would dare touch him.

Watching the retreating figure, Angus remarked, "I thought you'd kill him, Mr. Larden."

Matthew chuckled. "Mr. Lopez, the problem is resolved now, and you don't need to worry about any retaliation. He won't dare come back, and he definitely won't tell anyone about this."

"If a vein like that appears, it's usually at least a thousand tons at a minimum," Matthew said casually, his words causing Angus to pause in surprise.

"Mr. Larden, did you just say… a thousand tons?!" Angus asked, his voice tinged with excitement.

Matthew nodded and offered a brief explanation. "That type of iron ore forms in cold, shadowy conditions. Because of that, it tends to form more easily than other types of ore. Once discovered, it's typically a thousand tons or more."

Angus hesitated before replying, his face conflicted. "To be honest, we only managed to extract a few tons. After that, we found no trace of additional ore."

Matthew's lips curled into a faint smile. It seemed Angus hadn't fully tapped into his goldmine.
