Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 2584

"Well, back when your master and his martial brother were still young, they had our fair share of adventures. I remember as clear as day that they defeated all the top experts of the same generation from the surrounding countries of Cathay."

"But… Heh, boy did he stumble when he met me."

At this point, Mortimer coughed lightly before continuing, "Although your master is strong, he still lost to me when we fought! I remember it! It was a close one, I tell you! I still won, though."

After he finished speaking, Matthew shot a glance at Ophelia, who was clearly pursing her lips and hiding a smile. Nonetheless, there was no concealing the fact that she desperately wanted to say something in return but thought better of it.

That was when he knew that there was some exaggeration in Mortimer's story.

Of course, Matthew wasn't about to burst the old man's bubble. So, he swiftly changed the topic.

"So, Old Mr. Zedler, was your recent action an attempt to make me use Bane Family mixed martial arts to confirm my identity?"

"That's right. This is our first meeting, after all. It's better to be cautious to avoid any mistakes."

On the other hand, Matthew finally understood why Stellan kept telling him to tread lightly when it came to Old Mr. Zedler.

He had to admit that it was Mortimer's paranoia that resulted in the Zedler Family having such a strong foothold in Seraphis for decades.

Of course, the premise was that Old Mr. Zedler wasn't seriously ill.

After a brief conversation, Old Mr. Zedler instructed his subordinates to prepare a banquet to welcome Matthew.

Meanwhile, the butler, who was filled with resentment, had run straight to Erwin and Bennett, who were in the backyard, in order to lodge a complaint against Ophelia.

Yet, the two men didn't show much reaction even after hearing his complaints. Instead, they continued to focus on the chessboard before them.

After a while, Erwin gently moved his rook forward.

"Didn't that little girl say she wanted to invite someone to treat our father's illness?"

"Could it be that this young man is the one she invited?"

Bennett, who was sitting across from him, furrowed his brows as he regarded the chess pieces.
