Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3420

The sound of Matthew's voice echoed like something from the depths of the underworld, sending a chill down the spines of the men before him. Cold sweat trickled down their backs as they felt the intense, icy presence behind them.

However, when they turned around and saw only Matthew standing there, their fear quickly turned back to arrogance.

"Well, well, looks like we hit the jackpot today! Not only did we find a woman, but there's a pretty boy here, too. Might as well throw him in with the rest as an escort," one sneered.

"Yeah, let's make sure he gets the real VIP treatment from those 300-pounders, haha!" They laughed loudly, each one pulling a butcher's knife from their belts. On this island, guns caused too much noise; knives like these were effective weapons here.

Tertius, who was cornered with his junior behind him, started to tell Matthew to leave but then remembered Matthew's strength. The young woman behind Tertius, seeing Matthew's tall and handsome figure, froze in awe. What a striking man.

As the men continued taunting, Matthew raised his right hand, moving so swiftly it became a blur.

"Ah!" The loudest of the group stopped dead, his eyes bulging in horror.

Matthew's hand gripped his throat, and with a sickening crack, the man's neck snapped. The sound made everyone nearby flinch. His face twisted in pain before his breath faded, and he slumped lifelessly to the ground.

The others, witnessing their leader's swift demise, lost their arrogance, their faces now pale with fear.

"You… you killed in broad daylight! The Island Watch will come for you. You'd better run while you still can."

"Yeah! If they catch you, you'll wish you were dead," one stammered, though the butcher's knife in his hand trembled.

Matthew gave them no chance to plead. He lifted his right arm and swung it in a swift, deadly arc toward them. They saw the strike coming, but even as they tried to lift their arms in defense, their bodies refused to respond.

The sickening crack of bones breaking echoed down the alley. The men who had been so brazen moments before now lay in lifeless heaps.

Matthew turned his gaze toward Tertius, who stood at the far end of the alley, and said calmly, "Let's go. It'll be a bit of trouble if the Island Watch does show up."

Although he had avoided spilling blood, the Island Watch on the West Montiria Islands wasn't exactly known for playing fair. Even if he hadn't left any bloodstains, they'd still find a way to extort him under the pretense of enforcing the law.

"Thank you, Mr. Larden," Tertius said gratefully, giving a reassuring look to the woman behind him. He led her carefully around the bodies, avoiding stepping in their path.

Matthew observed the two and remarked, "You both look as if you pose no threat whatsoever. I don't understand what brought you to this place." He gestured toward the dark and dangerous island below.

Hearing Matthew's question, Tertius let out a small, bitter laugh. "It's a long story, Mr. Larden. If you're willing, you could come back with us, and I'll explain everything, including the extreme darkness that lurks on this island."
