Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3414

With a dull thud, the man in the yellow vest collapsed, lifeless, onto the ground. Matthew cast him a brief glance, then turned and walked away without a second thought.

His silver needle had gone straight through the man's mouth, entering silently and causing minimal blood loss so there would be no visible mess.

From the branches of a nearby tree, a tiny surveillance camera adjusted its angle, no longer tracking Matthew. Next to it, another silver needle quietly appeared.

As Matthew ventured deeper into the island, the streets grew livelier. The rundown wooden houses he had passed before were now replaced by more polished, sturdier structures.

"Come on in, gentlemen! Our ladies here are as soft and skilled as they come—music, dancing, you name it!"

"We buy all secondhand goods at high prices! Boats, guns, supplies—bring them all!"

"Hiring for the Island Watch! Must be under 30 with over 35 years of experience!"

The bustling calls came from every direction. As Matthew glanced around, he noticed a plump man shouting about hiring for the Island Watch. Tertius had mentioned the Island Watch briefly, explaining the structure of the West Montiria Islands, with each island possessing its own Island Watch and Governor's Keep.

The Island Watch oversaw all activity on the island and enforced the rule against bloodshed during daylight hours. Their hidden cameras dotted the island in unexpected places, ready to catch any violations.

The Governor's Keep, well, as the name implied, was the central power on each island, with each guild vying for control over this position. Since the previous governor's mysterious disappearance, the role had remained vacant.

Rumor had it that the Island Watch's head had once aimed to claim the governor's position himself, even attempting to leverage his authority to do so. But his ambitions were met with a violent attack on the Island Watch headquarters. Though no lives were lost, the incident had sent a clear warning.

Suddenly, the plump man on the street caught sight of Matthew, and his eyes lit up. With a striking face like Matthew's, he might just have found someone worthy of being the face of the Island Watch. The man hustled over, moving as fast as his frame would allow.

"Hey there, sir! Just a moment!" he called out.

He halted abruptly about five paces from Matthew, a gut instinct warning him that one step closer might be his last.

Standing in place, the man gave Matthew a broad, friendly smile. "Good day, sir! I am Bram Roth, head of recruitment for the Island Watch. Could I have a moment of your time?"

Matthew stopped, turning slightly to look at Bram with a cold expression. "If you're here to waste my time, consider yourself already dead."

His voice carried a deadly edge. He was operating under an alias, and he'd even altered his appearance subtly; only his wife, Sasha, would be able to recognize him up close. But Bram remained unfazed by Matthew's tone, more intrigued than intimidated. Anyone with looks as striking as his who had survived on Crook's Island must have considerable skill.

"Now, sir, I can see you're uniquely gifted and undeniably handsome. The Island Watch would be lucky to have someone like you. Join us, and I assure you, you'll be a rising star in no time!" Bram's grin widened, friendly but with an air of something a little slimy, even slightly sleazy.

Matthew eyed him suspiciously. In a place like this, such a character seemed almost out of place.
