Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3142

James and Helen couldn't help but focus on Sasha's words.

Matthew being surrounded and Sasha being sent back ahead of time really underscored the seriousness of the situation.

James paused for a moment, then spoke with a hint of reassurance. "Sasha, Matthew is going to come back safe and sound. Is there anything we can do right now?"

Sasha stayed quiet for a long time before her pale lips parted again. "Let's do nothing for now. Trust Matthew. He's never let me down before."

That evening, James made just a simple plate of stir-fried greens and three bowls of plain congee. The family of three sat in silence, eating in the living room.

The fish out front would have to live a few more days. Once Matthew came back, they would make a feast out of it.

After dinner, Sasha gazed quietly at the moon outside the window, murmuring in her heart, 'Matthew, you have to come back. I'm begging you. Please come back…'

…

Meanwhile, on the border of Montiria, Matthew was making his final preparations for the battle.

He had Paintaker gather all the devotees together—a staggering million of them stretching as far as the eye could see. "Everyone, I'm Matthew Larson, president of the Martial League within Seraphis. I'm truly grateful for your support in this battle. After the dust settles, here's my promise to you. If you return unscathed, you get 50 thousand. If you're injured, you get 100 thousand. And if you don't make it, your family will receive 500 thousand. I won't let anyone get hurt in vain!"

His words brought smiles to the faces of the devotees, who quickly spread the message through the crowd. Though they were devout Buddhists, they knew Buddha wouldn't pay their bills. Matthew's offer clearly fired them up.

"Matthew, don't you think that's a bit too much?" Paintaker approached him, skeptical about how he could possibly afford such a sum for nearly a million people. Even if every devotee returned unharmed, 50 thousand per person would add up to a whopping 500 million.
