Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3488

Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained silent. Casually, he strolled to another pile and lifted a different corner of the tarp.

This time, the emblem of Virtue Hall came into view.

Quietly, Matthew lowered the tarp, his expression betraying nothing, as though he had seen nothing out of the ordinary.

Just then, the man returned from the house, his voice breaking the stillness. "So, sir, what do you think?"

Matthew turned to him and replied calmly, "Not bad. They'll do."

He pulled a neat stack of Dornia Emeralds from his pocket. "These goods of yours are worth about 3,000, but I'll offer 4,000. I'll take everything here."

Stellan had given him the money before he left. Since electronic products were unusable on the island, only cash could be used for payment. However, some people with powerful resources could come up with payment terminals that worked despite the magnetic fields.

The man's eyes widened in surprise and delight as he saw the bills in Matthew's hand. He hurriedly took the stack, his hands trembling as he counted the money with almost comical care. When he confirmed it was indeed 4,000, , he happily accepted it, his grin stretching from ear to ear.

Matthew's tone remained measured. "However, I do have a few questions."

The man quickly nodded with enthusiasm. He had just pocketed a fortune—more than the materials were worth—and would have readily agreed to anything Matthew asked, even if it meant groveling. Truth be told, those building supplies wouldn't fetch more than 2,500 at best. Matthew's offer had been nothing short of a miracle.

"Of course, sir! Ask me anything, and I'll answer honestly."

Matthew gestured toward the tarps covering the materials. "These coverings work impressively well at keeping out moisture. I'd like to purchase a batch of these. Where did you get them?"

The man blinked, his face twisting into a mix of surprise and confusion.

"You need a referral to meet him?"

The man nodded grimly. "Exactly. And listen, I'm telling you this because you seem decent. If it were anyone else, I'd let them walk straight into trouble. To see Mr. Laurent, you'd need a referral from someone with significant standing on Ore Island."

Matthew fell silent for a moment, pondering. "Do you know Angus Lopez, from the ore market? Would he qualify as someone who could arrange a meeting with Mr. Laurent?"

The man let out a dry laugh. "Oh, he's definitely qualified. Angus is practically the king of the ore market. But convincing him to help you? That's no walk in the park. Keep going straight ahead and you'll see what I mean."

Matthew nodded, as if unfazed. Without another word, he turned on his heel to leave, his calm voice trailing behind him.

"Leave the goods where they are. I'll collect them later."
