The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1031
I Believe You
Sasha was standing beside her father. When her father said he would take Matthew’s side, she felt like crying. It had been three years, and she had tried everything she could so her family could accept Matthew. She didn’t mind that they didn’t like him, since all she wanted was for them not to be prejudiced against him. She never expected this day would come when her father would start to take Matthew’s side. She teared up, thinking that all her sacrifices finally paid off.
Liam was standing at a corner. He had a sense of impending doom, knowing that trouble was coming his way. If James and Helen took Matthew’s side, he would lose out on the family’s inheritance. However, he didn’t dare say anything. James was just yelling at Demi for now, and Liam didn’t want to draw any attention to him.
A short while later, Matthew arrived at the villa with Helen. Matthew drove the car into the yard, and James quickly came over to take a close look at her, worried about her condition. Sasha, on the other hand, held Matthew’s hand gratefully.
“Thank you, Matthew,” James thanked him sincerely.
Matthew was surprised as he didn’t think James would thank him.
Sasha held his arm tightly and whispered, “Matthew, Dad is grateful for you, and he said he’ll take your side no matter what happens.”
That surprised Matthew even more. James actually said that?
James nodded slowly. “Yes. I’ll back you up this time, Matthew, and I know you didn’t kill them! So what if it’s the Lewises? We’ll fight them until the very last breath.”
Matthew was touched, and he nodded back. “I’ll handle this, Dad. We’ll be fine, so don’t worry.”
James nodded again. “Alright then, Matthew. I believe you won’t let me down.”
Matthew nodded again and left the house. After leaving a few guys standing sentry around the yard, he left The Grand Garden. It would be a sleepless night, for he had a lot of matters to deal with.
The first thing he did was make a call to Billy and ask him to send a few fighters to protect The Grand Garden. With how things were progressing, he knew things would get tense between him and the Lewises. They had a lot of thugs working for them, and some were professionally trained. Tiger and his lackeys could handle normal thugs, but they would be hard pressed to hold back the professionals. Matthew had to keep his wife and her family safe before he could go up against the Lewises.
As for Natalie, well, he had no reason to worry. She lived in Lakeside Garden, and that place was Billy’s best guarded estates, or at least one of them. Every time he went there, he could feel a lot of powerful fighters hiding in the shadows. Nobody, not even the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, would dare make a ruckus in there.
On top of that, Matthew had asked Jinny to keep an eye on Natalie. Jinny couldn’t fight, but she could command countless poisonous animals that could take out any ambushers before they knew what hit them.
Billy obliged. He had actually sent a few of his men over a while back, and they were already hiding in the shadows, making it impossible for anyone to sneak in.
With Billy’s men protecting his family, Matthew didn’t have to hold back anymore. After that, he went to Tiger so he could see Minerva. Tonight, Matthew wanted to settle things with her once and for all.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1032
A Wench
Tiger was at The Grand Pavilion. Since Matthew would face the Lewises that night, he wanted to be there himself to help. That was also where Minerva was locked up.
After he went into the place Minerva was imprisoned, he heard her cackling like a maniac. “It’s been an hour. I bet he still can’t find her. Give up! She’s probably already in pieces now. That’s what you get for fighting the Lewises. If you guys won’t give up on Matthew, soon your family will get taken away and end up dead too! That’s what you get!”
When Matthew came into the room, the first thing he saw was Minerva hanging from the ceiling with her hands tied. Tiger was smoking on the sofa, and his most trusted lieutenants were beside him. Even Max was there. After he became Ed’s lackey, he became a part of Tiger’s gang. Therefore, whenever Tiger needed help, he would bring his team over to lend him a hand.
At the moment, Tiger looked annoyed. “Dammit! Stuff that b*tch’s mouth. God, I can’t even hear myself think!”
Max took his sock off and stuffed it in Minerva’s mouth. Then he saw Matthew coming in. Max froze up for a second, and he leaped with joy. “You’re here, Mr. Matthew!”
Tiger and the others saw him, and they stood up. “Mr. Larson!”
Matthew smiled at them and went to the living room. “Sit.”
Everyone sat down.
“Thanks for helping out tonight,” Matthew said.
Tiger replied, “It’s an honor to help you, sir.”
He smiled and turned to look at Minerva. Her mouth was stuffed with a sock, and she kept making muffled sounds. Matthew waved his hand. “Take the sock out.”
Max quickly took the sock out of her mouth.
Minerva retched for a while before she growled, “Damn you, Larson! Kill me if you dare! I’m not scared of you! I’ll be waiting for you in the depths of hell! You’re not getting out alive either!”
Matthew pursed his lips but said nothing. He stared at her as she spewed curses at him like a crazed wench. A while later, he sneered. “You call yourself a foreign aristocrat? Well, you look more like a wench now.”
Everyone burst out laughing.
Minerva’s face fell. She had always taken pride in being a foreign talent. Now that Matthew destroyed her pride in just one sentence, she trembled with rage. “Cut the crap, Matthew! What are you here for? Trying to get me to tell you where Helen is? Dream on! It’s been an hour! They’ve already cut her hands and legs off, and it’s all thanks to you! The Lewises won’t stop at that! They’ll hunt you down! I’m dragging you down even if it’s the last thing I do!” she roared.
Matthew smiled at her and took out his phone. He played a video to her that showed Helen coming back home. Matthew had taken the video on purpose to show it to Minerva.
Minerva was shocked after taking just a glance at the video. “I-Impossible! You’re lying! This is a trick! You couldn’t have saved her! This must be an old video! You’re trying to trick me!”
Matthew sneered. “I don’t waste my time coming up with lies to deceive the likes of you. You know the video is real. You should know the clothes she wore tonight and how badly she was beaten up. And now you say it’s fake? Are you stupid?”
Minerva was having a breakdown. She knew the video was real, and that Helen was rescued. “Impossible. You shouldn’t have been able to find her!” Minerva gritted her teeth, growling.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1033
Franklin’s Orders
Matthew scoffed. “Do you really think everyone else is an idiot? Do you think you’re the smartest person here? I was suspicious at the start—I was wondering why you would intentionally allow us to catch you. I finally understood the reason when I went to the inn. You were doing it so that you could show us that Mom was on the move in an RV. You were misleading us so that we would search for the RV instead. But the truth is, Mom wasn’t in the RV at all!”
Minerva widened her eyes and stared at Matthew in disbelief. “H-How did you know that?”
“I didn’t. All I needed to know was the identity of the person who captured Helen!” Matthew uttered.
“W-What do you mean?” Minerva was puzzled. Even Tiger was confused by the situation—he didn’t understand what Matthew meant. “Wasn’t Aaron the one who took Helen away, Matthew?” Tiger eyed the other man curiously.
Matthew shook his head. “That’s what I thought at first. However, I found out that it wasn’t Aaron after all!”
“Aaron wasn’t the one who did it? Who was it, then?” Tiger was shocked.
“It was Franklin!” Matthew replied.
Tiger’s eyes were bulging. “Franklin?! That can’t be possible! Franklin didn’t do anything tonight. The only ones who came were Donovan’s trusted aides…”
Matthew shifted his gaze to look at Minerva, whose face had turned ghastly pale. “Am I right, Minerva?” he sneered.
She gritted her teeth. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about at all!”
“We’ve already come to this point, and we’ve already saved Helen, so you don’t need to continue with your little tricks anymore, alright? Aaron never contacted you at all. Franklin was the one who paid you to do this!” Matthew hissed.
After glaring at Matthew and gritting her teeth for a while, Minerva finally let out a sigh. “H-How did you find out about this?”
“It’s because of the time,” Matthew muttered.
“Time?” she asked.
“W-What does that mean?” Tiger didn’t understand either.
“I went to the inn and got the surveillance tapes to view the videos where Helen was captured. The tapes showed that it was 12.50AM when it happened,” Matthew uttered.
“S-So?” Tiger scratched the back of his head. Matthew eyed him speechlessly. Tiger doesn’t use his brains often, huh? “According to your sources, Aaron only made a move at 1.00AM, Tiger. Before that, they were in the Lewis Residence, having a meeting about how they would deal with me. In other words, it would’ve been impossible for Aaron to do anything before 1.00AM. He couldn’t have gone over to bribe Minerva, and he couldn’t have told Minerva to lure Helen out. He couldn’t have captured Helen.”
Tiger’s eyes widened as he finally understood that situation. “Ah! What you just said makes so much sense! It’s impossible for Aaron’s men to have done anything before 1.00AM.”
“That’s why Aaron couldn’t have been the one behind this matter. The person who did this chose to go for Helen, who was alone in the hospital, instead of going for my wife and the rest of them. This shows that the whole event was extremely well-planned. This person knows a lot about our family, and he knows where all of our family members were located. Furthermore, he knows our weakness—he knows the best person to target! Based on all of these clues, we can tell that the person had gone through extensive planning before making a move.”
Matthew glanced at Tiger as he continued with his words. “Let me tell you something. The person who has been silently attacking us is Franklin all along. I bet Aaron didn’t even know what happened in our family until tonight. How could he have come up with such a well-rounded plan?” Matthew uttered. “This shows that Aaron wasn’t the one who captured Helen. Instead, it was Franklin, who had long been planning this!”
Tiger clapped his hands when he finally understood the situation. “Woah, Matthew! Your deductions are so accurate! I can’t believe I had been so clueless this entire time. I nearly sent someone over to capture Aaron and force him to hand Helen over to us!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1034
This is Franklin’s Trap
Matthew chuckled. “Tiger, if you actually went to capture Aaron, then you would’ve fallen for Franklin’s trap!”
Tiger froze. “What do you mean?”
“Donovan was the head of the family for a long time, and he had a lot of confidants around. Since Franklin wishes to overthrow Donovan and take his spot, he’d have to get rid of all of Donovan’s confidants. Aaron brought such a huge number of people over to wreak havoc today, yet Franklin didn’t stop him at all. It’s all part of Franklin’s plan—he wants us to help him get rid of Donovan’s confidants!”
“The one person Franklin is afraid of is Aaron. Aaron is Donovan’s son, and he’s also the largest competitor Franklin has—both of them would likely fight to become the head of the family. That was why Franklin came up with this plan to capture Helen and force us to go for Aaron. I’m sure that reports of Aaron’s mysterious death will surface if we actually capture him. Then, we’d be the ones who would be responsible for everything. Donovan’s confidants would never rest until they ended us all!”
“In that case, Franklin wouldn’t have had to lift a finger, and he would have managed to get rid of his competitor, Aaron, while also eliminating all of Donovan’s confidants. He would secure the spot as the head of the family then.”
Tiger widened his eyes once more. He had never considered all these factors, and he broke into a cold sweat as he listened to Matthew’s breakdown of the situation. “F-Franklin is such a sly man!” Tiger exclaimed.
At that point, Minerva’s forehead was covered with sweat, and she looked like she was about to pass out. She knew about some parts of Franklin’s plan, and what Matthew had said was completely aligned with Franklin’s intentions. She couldn’t help but steal another glance at Matthew. She was truly shocked this time. I’ve always thought he was just a useless live-in son-in-law, but it turns out that he’s not that simple of a person at all!
“H-How did you manage to find Helen, then?” Minerva couldn’t help but ask.
“It was easy for me to locate her once I knew who captured her. Once I guessed that it was Franklin, I just had to hunt his men down. This is a huge scheme that involves Aaron’s life, so Franklin wouldn’t ask some outsiders to help him with it. He’d certainly get someone he trusted. Franklin has two confidants he trusts the most—Linus and Harry. They would be the ones who got involved whenever Franklin needed to do something in secret. I was certain that Franklin would send both of them to handle this incident as well.”
“Therefore, all I had to do was find these two guys, and I would be able to locate Helen. It was easy to find them. Do you know what location services are? Even if your phone is turned off, one would still be able to track the phone down. That was how I found both of them!” Matthew explained.
After hearing his words, Tiger was left with his jaw hanging wide open in shock. He was utterly in awe. Minerva, on the other hand, had the color drained from her face. She had admitted her defeat at that point. She used to think that she was smart, but her wittiness was nothing when placed beside Matthew’s genius abilities!
A short while later, Minerva broke the silence and spoke through gritted teeth. “I really underestimated you, Matthew. However, don’t get too cocky just yet! The opponent you’re against is a member of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff, and you won’t be able to defend yourself against someone as grand as him! Hmph. How long do you think you can live even after you kill me?”
Matthew waved her concerns away. “Don’t worry. I won’t kill you, Minerva. You’re Sasha’s cousin, after all. How could I kill you? It wouldn’t be good if such rumors got to the public, right?”
Minerva sneered. “It’s good that you know! Hmph! You can’t do anything to me, so why don’t you let me go now?”
“No worries. I’ll let you go soon. But Tiger, I need you to spread the news to the public. Say that Minerva’s conscience got the better of her and that she told us the truth. That’s how we managed to save Helen,” Matthew uttered.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1035
I Want You to Wish You Were Dead
Minerva’s expression changed the moment she heard what Matthew said. “Matthew! S-Stop talking nonsense!” She knew that Franklin would destroy her if Matthew’s words ever got to Franklin. Sure, Matthew meant it when he said he wouldn’t kill me, but things would be worse if Franklin thinks that I told Matthew the truth! Franklin doesn’t care if I’m Sasha’s relative! I’d die a horrible death if Franklin were the one to end my life!
Matthew chuckled. “It’s about time you pay for the things you’ve done, Minerva! I’m not going to kill you, but I’m going to make you wish you were dead! Let her go, Tiger!”
“Sure!” Tiger laughed heartily. “Hurry up and let her go, guys. Send her out and make sure you guys are polite to her, okay?” The rest of the men laughed along as they untied her and walked her out.
Minerva thrashed about and cursed at everyone, but they simply ignored her and dragged her out. Matthew got to his feet once Minerva disappeared into the distance. “Send someone to follow her, Tiger. Keep a close eye on her.”
Tiger froze. “Why do we need to do that, Matthew?”
Matthew glared at the other man. “Did you think I was talking to her because I had nothing better to do? I said all those things with one purpose in mind—I wanted to scare her so that she would go to Franklin. Of course, she might not personally be close to Franklin, but there must be a middle-man who passes messages between both of them. I want to know who this middle-man is. I need to get proof of Franklin’s crimes, do you understand?”
Tiger came to another realization then. “Don’t worry, Matthew! I’ll take care of this!” He sent some men to handle this matter. Meanwhile, Matthew no longer stayed around—he headed downstairs and drove off. He arrived at a hotel just 15 minutes later, and he took an elevator from the basement car park right up to the top of the building.
There was a young man waiting for him the moment he stepped out of the elevator. The young man took a step back when he saw that Matthew had arrived. “The boss has been waiting for a long while. He’s on the balcony,” the young man muttered.
Matthew nodded before he strode directly into the room. The top floor of the building was a huge suite that went beyond 2,000 square feet. The place was one of the Lach Family’s business projects, and only the main members of the family were allowed into this suite. Regular people would never get the chance to enter the place.
The balcony outside was the size of a whole garden. Matthew caught sight of two men in the distance when he first stepped out onto the balcony. The night breeze was chilly, and the balcony provided a clear view of the whole of Eastcliff.
The two men sitting on the balcony were none other than Wilson and Felix. Wilson had invited Felix over to his place about two hours earlier. As Matthew walked over, Wilson immediately got to his feet before greeting Matthew. “Let me introduce you guys, Felix. This is Mr. Larson, the man I was telling you about.”
Felix looked like an extremely honest and reliable farmer—the way he dressed was rather old-fashioned. However, sparks danced in his eyes as he stared at Matthew. He gave Matthew a nod without saying anything, and Matthew responded with a smile before he sat down.
“I’m sure Mr. Lach told you everything that you need to know. So, I wonder if you’re interested in working with me, Mr. Lewis,” Matthew uttered in a quiet tone.
At that moment, Felix glanced at the teacup on the table before he responded. “The head of the Lewis family died in your hands, Mr. Larson. Wouldn’t I be betraying my kind if I formed a partnership with you, Mr. Larson? Although I don’t have a really high position in the Lewis Family, they’re still family to me. I can’t betray my own blood!”
“The fact that you were able to utter such words just shows that I picked the right person,” Matthew said.
Felix couldn’t help but feel curious upon hearing Matthew’s words. “What does that mean, Mr. Larson?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1036
Are You Content?
Matthew answered with a question. “Will you work with me if I can prove that I wasn’t the one who killed Donovan?”
Felix frowned for a moment as if he was deep in thought. “Dickson is part of the Lewis Family as well…”
At that moment, Matthew threw a file onto the table. “These are all of Dickson’s crimes. I’m sure you know what he has done in the past. If we put these out in public, do you think the Lewis Family would still recognize him as a part of them?”
Once more, Felix was silent for a long while as he contemplated Matthew’s words. “I can’t betray my family, Mr. Larson!”
“That’s not what I’m asking you to do. I’m asking for a partnership where both parties will benefit one another. From here onward, we can be allies. I’ll help you, and you’ll help me—that’s all this is. I won’t get involved in any of the Lewis Family’s business. If anything, I can perhaps help your family to further develop their business!”
“You sure are an ambitious man, Mr. Larson!” Felix couldn’t help but lift his head to stare at Matthew with his twinkling eyes. Both of them chuckled immediately. Wilson had said the exact same words in the past, but it was Felix’s turn to say it then!
Matthew stood up to glance at the skyline before his eyes. “My goals and ambition go beyond Eastcliff.Similarly, I hope that you guys can look further than just Eastcliff as well. The Hughes, for example, managed to kill Zachary before they got Connor to kill his own son. How did they do that? Because the Hughes are more powerful than you guys! Just the Hughes themselves would be able to take down the rest of the Ten Greatest Families! Are you okay with that, Felix? Are you content with your life, Wilson?!”
Both Felix and Wilson looked at one another. It seemed like they had both been impacted by Matthew’s words. Matthew was right—the incident between the Hughes and the Jacksons made everyone feel like they had to protect themselves. The Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff may appear grand and shiny on the surface, but they were nothing in comparison to the Ten Greatest Families of Easthire.
If it weren’t for Billy, the Ten Greatest Families in Eastcliff would have been completely crushed and destroyed. Felix and Wilson weren’t happy about it, but what could they do in that situation? They had no choice but to be oppressed if they weren’t as great as their opponent. The strong fed on the weak—that was how natural selection worked to keep humans alive!
“You have wild ambitions, Mr. Larson.” Felix got to his feet. “However, do remember that Master Newman is also in Eastcliff. You helped Master Newman in the past, and he’s thankful to you for that, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you wish! Your goals will never be fulfilled! There’ll always be a huge mountain—Master Newman—that you won’t be able to get past!”
Wilson shifted his gaze to Matthew. There was a question that had been lingering in his mind. Is Matthew doing all of this now because he wants to take over Billy’s position? Who is he to do such a thing?
“Judging by Master Newman’s skills, do you think he’d settle down in Eastcliff if he actually cared about such matters?” Matthew chuckled. “Don’t forget about the time he nearly got coined the king of the Six Southern States!”
Both Felix and Wilson’s facial muscles twitched as they recalled the man from the past. Billy was a man with an extremely strong aura, and he overpowered all of the six states’ families. Everyone had to bow down to him, and he was practically the king of the Six Southern States at that point. However, he decided to give up on the role in the end.
After that, he settled down in Eastcliff and never left ever since. Perhaps the younger generations were already unaware of how grandly he had lived in the past. However, the older generations could all recall Billy when he was at the peak of his life! He was the king of Eastcliff, but he was more than just that—he was also the undefeatable king of the Six Southern States!
Felix and Wilson couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces as they looked at each other. Billy’s attitude toward the matter was clear based on what Matthew said. Not only did Billy agree to it, but he was even supporting Matthew. Both Felix and Wilson felt like they just saw another version of the young Billy! However, the young man before their eyes was even more driven and strong-willed than Billy was! Matthew wanted to achieve things that Billy had never done!
Felix took a deep breath before bowing. “I am willing to work for you once you prove that you didn’t kill Donovan,” Felix uttered. He was thoroughly impressed!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1037
I Can Prove It
Matthew turned and walked to the side of the table before he pulled out a tiny container and placed it on the table. There was a worm the size of one’s thumb inside the container. It was extremely well-fed, and it looked pretty much like the usual worm found in farms. “This is a worm brought in from Orleans—it’s known as the tracking worm. The mother and child worms of the tracking worm work together. The one you guys are looking at now is the mother worm, and it can detect its child’s location. The spot where its head is pointed will always indicate the direction where its child is!” Matthew explained calmly.
Wilson appeared rather shocked by Matthew’s words. Wilson knew about Orleans’ voodoo clan, and he had witnessed Mr. Sanchez’s techniques with his own eyes once. He was very well-aware of the Orleans’ voodoo clan’s abilities. If Wilson had to be honest, he still felt a little too traumatized to look at these worms. They were simply too terrifying for the regular person to deal with!
“The Orleans’ Voodoo Clan? Is there really a clan like that? I’ve heard the older people in my family talking about it. I heard that it’s an especially mysterious clan residing in Thousand Hills in Orleans. I also heard that they never leave the mountains,” Felix uttered amusedly.
Matthew chuckled. “Well, they didn’t just leave the mountains. A good number of them are even here in Eastcliff! I’m sure Mr. Lach knows all about this.”
A rather awkward expression formed on Wilson’s face as he tried to briefly cover what had previously happened with Mr. Sanchez.
Felix’s face fell a little after listening to Wilson’s story. He then turned to look at Matthew. “What are you trying to tell me by taking this worm out, Mr. Larson? Are you suspecting that my family is related to the Orleans’ Voodoo Clan as well?”
“It’s not your family, but Franklin. Franklin was the one who caused Donovan’s death!” Matthew explained.
Felix’s eyes lit up almost immediately. “Do you have any proof of that?”
“Of course I do.” Matthew chuckled. “However, you guys won’t be able to accept this piece of evidence, so I will prove it using another way.”
“How?” Felix asked immediately.
Matthew pointed toward the tracking worm. “I caught someone from the Orleans’ Voodoo Clan previously, and I planted the child worm on her. I intentionally allowed her to escape, so now, we can find the location of this voodoo clan with the use of this mother worm. Do you have the guts to go with me to meet this clan, Felix?”
Felix took a deep breath before he responded in a deep voice. “Of course! What’s there to be afraid of?”
Matthew nodded in satisfaction. He picked the wooden container up before he led Felix downstairs. Matthew didn’t bring anyone else with him, and he drove with Felix in the car while they followed the direction of the worm to travel to the outskirts of the city.
Once they got close to a stand-alone building, the worm began to respond with greater movements. Matthew slowed the car down and glanced at the building that was about 30 yards away. “I’m guessing that this is the place since the worm’s reactions are so huge. We’ll have to walk over so that we don’t scare them off before even arriving.”
Felix took a deep breath and was about to open the car door when Matthew held him back. “You can’t just walk there like that. These are people from the Orleans’ Voodoo Clan. I’m sure they planted a good number of curses and traps around their front porch. You won’t even know how you died if you just walked over like that!” Matthew warned in a stern voice.
“Is it that bad?” There was a look of fear on Felix’s face.
Matthew pursed his lips together. Wilson would be so much more alert if he were here instead. “Keep this in your hands. It’ll stop you from being susceptible to all the poison here.” Matthew took a bead and handed it to Felix.
Felix eyed it puzzledly. “This is just a jade bead . Is it really that amazing?”
Matthew couldn’t be bothered to explain. Jinny had worn the jade bead for more than ten days. Jinny had special physical qualities—all forms of poisons and curses seemed to not have an effect on her. The jade bead had the ability to block off some poison since Jinny had worn it for quite some time. However, there was a time limit, and one could only wear it for a maximum of one day before its effects faded off. It had only absorbed a tiny bit of Jinny’s aura, after all!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1038
The Centipede’s Threat
With the jade bead in his hand, Felix followed closely behind Matthew as they sneakily headed toward the entrance of the stand-alone building. Along the way there, Matthew realized how Felix was actually well-equipped in self-defense. Felix had learned martial arts since he was young, and he had some level of inner energy that would allow him to take down at least six or seven regular individuals at once.
Felix’s traits were useful in that situation. At the very least, his footsteps were light, and no one would hear them coming. Once they got to the edge of the wall, Felix was prepared to climb over the wall when Matthew held him back. Felix shot Matthew a puzzled gaze. “It’s fine. I can easily climb over a regular wall like this,” he whispered.
However, Matthew simply waved him off without saying much. Instead, Matthew pulled out a glass bottle and opened it. A red centipede crawled out from inside. Felix immediately widened his eyes as the centipede looked extremely dangerous. Matthew placed it on the ground, and the centipede swiftly made its way toward the wall.
Just seconds later, a slight rustling came from the direction of the wall. All of a sudden, a dark shadow slithered across the land. It opened its mouth and gobbled the centipede without any hesitation. Only then did Felix get a better look at the creature—it was a tiny black snake.
The snake moved so quickly that even Felix stumbled a few steps back as he was too shocked. The snake looked like a venomous creature, yet Matthew only eyed it calmly, as if he wasn’t afraid of it at all. After the snake consumed the centipede, it fixed its gaze on Matthew. It looked as if it was preparing to attack Matthew.
Right then, the snake’s body began to twitch. It started writhing and twisting on the ground as if it were in a lot of pain. “W-What’s happening to it?” Felix whispered.
Matthew waved his hand to tell Felix not to speak. Moments later, the snake stopped moving. Its belly was torn apart, and it looked like something had bit it. Right after that, the red centipede crawled out of the wound.
Felix’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets! I watched the snake eat the entire centipede! Shouldn’t the centipede have died? How could it tear the snake’s stomach apart and crawl out from inside? What sort of centipede is this? Is it that powerful?
This centipede actually belonged to one of the first people from the voodoo clan that Matthew had met, and that person had brought the centipede around with him. The black snake’s lethality was nothing in comparison to the centipede’s. However, after following Jinny for some time, this centipede’s lethality, powers and survival skills were further enhanced. That was what made Jinny special. She didn’t just get along well with these creatures; more importantly, all of the creatures that stayed by her side for some time would become abnormally powerful! This applied to the centipede as well!
Once the centipede crawled out of the snake’s body, it continued crawling toward the wall. More rustling sounds came from that area, and a few more poisonous creatures crawled out from the dark. Felix’s expression was tense. I feel afraid just looking at these creatures.
On the other hand, Matthew seemed extremely calm. He pulled out a few other glass bottles to release a few more of the same red centipedes. Matthew had taken a good amount of centipedes with him back then, and all of these centipedes have had their powers enhanced after staying with Jinny for a while.
The poisonous creatures that emerged went toward the centipedes, but soon enough, all of the poisonous creatures were bitten to death. The centipedes had won the battle. Once everything was done, Matthew kept the centipedes back into their glass bottles. Only then did he give Felix a nod. “We can go in now.” Once he finished speaking, he made a move and lifted himself to climb over the wall.
Felix’s face was drained of color. He felt like his knowledge of the world had increased after witnessing all that happened that night. He went after Matthew and climbed over the wall, and they made their way to the building. Once they were near enough, they could see that a few people were sitting in the hall through the window. In front of these people was a young and pretty girl. However, the girl’s entire body was twitching as if she was suffering.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1039
The Fight for Treasure
The enchanting young lady was none other than Charmine, the girl Matthew had previously captured. She had rushed over to the building right after she escaped from The Grand Pavilion. However, she had gotten a seizure the moment she walked into the house. She collapsed onto the ground and was unable to speak at all. Crow and the other three of them had no idea what had happened to her.
With his brows tightly knitted, Crow attempted all sorts of methods to treat Charmine. But his efforts didn’t seem to lessen her pain, not even by a little bit. Crow gritted his teeth when he noticed that Charmine seemed increasingly agonized. Finally, he pulled out a rather antique-looking box from one of his pockets.
The other three people were shocked when they saw the box. “What are you doing, Master Crow?”
Crow glared at them. “Stop asking stupid questions. What do you think I’m doing?”
“Th-This is a precious treasure handed down to us by our ancestors. You can’t use it just like that!” one of the men cried. “Charmine looks like she’s in a lot of pain, but it’s probably due to some curse, Master Crow. We can still think of other ways to save her. If nothing works, we can just send her back to Orleans for Lord Voodoo to save her!”
Crow shook his head. “No. She isn’t just in a lot of pain. Don’t you guys realize? Her skin is starting to turn pale and even a little translucent. This is a sign that all the curse powder she has used throughout these years is counter-attacking her body right now. She must have encountered a really powerful person—there aren’t many people who can destroy all of the years she put into her curse powder. Once the curse powder spreads to her entire body, she’ll be gone!”
The other three men became worried and one cried out loud. “I-Is there some secret method to this? How could this be possible? Why haven’t I heard of such methods?”
“That’s because this secret method hasn’t surfaced in a very long time,” Crow replied grimly. “I remember seeing it in the clan’s records, but I can’t believe we actually encountered someone as powerful as this. It seems like the clan’s elders were right—the world is huge, and there’ll always be someone more powerful than you. We shouldn’t have thought too highly of ourselves!” Crow let out a sigh as he opened the wooden box and took out a softgel capsule sealed in its packet.
He really didn’t want to use the capsule, but he eventually came to his decision. “Open her mouth!” he hissed. The other three men exchanged glances as they all hesitated for a moment. The softgel capsule consisted of their clan’s resurrection charm. It was passed down from each generation to the next in order to ensure the longevity of the clan leaders. The resurrection charm had been passed down for hundreds of years and had been in the hands of a few generations of clan leaders.
The clan leader brought the capsules around as the capsules were also helpful for them to improve their skills. If things went according to plan, one of the three men in the room would inherit the resurrection charm. However, the clan’s prized possession would be gone if Crow gave the resurrection charm to Charmine.
If that happens, we won’t get the most important thing even if we inherit the role as clan leader. What would we be left with then? “W-Why don’t we think of another plan, Master Crow? This is the clan’s treasure we’re talking about. What are people going to think of our clan if we lose this?!” one of the men growled in a deep voice. The other two quickly stepped forward to back him up.
Charmine was lying on the ground. Although she was in a lot of pain, she could still hear their words clearly. Her heart ached as she listened to their conversation. You only know who truly cares for you during a critical situation like this. They used to say that I was like a younger sister to them… All of that didn’t mean a thing at all! Master Crow is the only one who cares for me!
Crow’s expression darkened. “This resurrection charm is meant for saving people. Are you guys just going to sit around and watch Charmine die? Alright. Stop talking nonsense. Open her mouth!” he cried.
All three of them clenched their jaws as they all refused to make a move. Crow was fuming and trembling with rage at this point, but he naturally understood what his disciples were thinking about. Crow was just about to make a move when someone swooshed past them. Before Crow could give any form of response, he realized that the resurrection charm had been snatched from his hand. Surprised, he looked up to see that the person was none other than Matthew!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1040
I’m Matthew Larson!
As Matthew had been observing from the outside for a while, he had recognized that as the resurrection charm as well, and he was stunned because the resurrection charm from Orleans was incredibly rare and precious.
From the knowledge he obtained from the jade pendant, his ancestor, Christopher Larson, had only heard about the resurrection charm, but he had never seen it himself. However, there was a huge amount of information recorded in the pendant, and it was full of admiration and praise for it.
Not only could it save a life, but more importantly, it was considered as a treasure because consuming it could increase a person’s powers.
He wasn’t expecting that he could actually find a resurrection charm here, so he made a move without hesitation and snatched it away.
Honestly, after doing so much this evening, everything was worth it after he got the resurrection charm.
The expressions of the people in the room turned alert as they stood up abruptly and surrounded Matthew in swift moves.
Stunned, Crowl asked in a low growl, “Who are you? Return that to me!”
Glancing at him from the corners of his eyes, Matthew answered, “I’m Matthew Larson!”
Shocked, Crow and the other three men were paralyzed. The whole time, they had regarded Matthew as their enemy, and the last thing they would expect was Matthew finding this place.
“H-How did you find this place?” one of the men asked anxiously.
Matthew snorted. “Don’t you know about your own tracking worm from Orleans? Oh, by the way, I took special care to hide the presence of the worm when I was planting it. In addition, all of you were concerned about her injuries after her return, so I guess you don’t have the time to care about anything else.”
Startled, they didn’t even think that Matthew would use their skills against them and find his way here.
Taking a deep breath, Crow then asked, “I didn’t expect that you know how to use the voodoo skills from Orleans. Who are you, really? The secrets of Orleans have never been divulged to anyone outside our community, so how did you learn it?”
Snorting, Matthew thought, It’s true that the secrets of Orleans are never divulged to outsiders, but the complete secrets of Orleans are recorded in the pendant.
According to Christopher’s memories, he had made a trip to the Thousand Hills himself, visited all 72 voodoo clans and mastered everything there was to learn about the secrets of Orleans. Therefore, Matthew’s knowledge of it was even deeper than an Orleanian himself!
Seeing that Matthew didn’t reply, a man shouted furiously, “It must be the clan leader of the 72 voodoo clans who taught you, isn’t it? How could those betrayers leak the secrets of Orleans? They’re the sinners of Orleans!”
Frowning, Matthew thought, From the tone of their voice, it sounds like they’re enemies with the clan leader. What’s going on? The 72 voodoo clans of Orleans are led by the clan leader, and these people are actually his enemies. Who are these people, then? Also, the more important thing is, what exactly is happening in Orleans?
After casting all four of them a look, Matthew finally fixed his eyes on Crow. “Why are all of you working together with Franklin Lewis to oppose me?”
When one of the men was about to say something, Crow suddenly interjected, “We have no idea what you’re speaking about! We’re not opposing you, and neither do we know anyone called Franklin Lewis.” Then, he cast his three disciples a look, hinting at them that there was someone else outside the room.
His message got across to them, and one of them took a step backward subtly. With a shake of his right arm, a small snake slithered out of his sleeve, and Matthew made his move at the same time. Waving his hand, Matthew threw out a piece of silver needle and nailed the tiny snake onto the floor.
“Stop all these useless tricks in front of me!” Matthew warned coldly.
Alarmed, Crow knew from Matthew’s move that this young man in front of him was more powerful than he thought!
