Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3450

The next morning, Matthew was up early, catching the fresh breeze down at the docks. The crisp sea air did wonders to clear his groggy mind, though he was brimming with energy as always. Still, there was something refreshing about the wind brushing his face.

"Good morning, Matteo!"

"Deputy Larden, you're up early!"

People passing by greeted him respectfully. The skirmish the night before had cemented Matthew's place in their eyes, his authority growing by the day. Some folks even joked they were ready to be "cut in the mold of Matteo." In just a few days, he'd nearly rivaled Mack's hard-won influence.

"Morning. Keep up the good work, boys, and maybe—with your help—Mack will finally find himself a missus by next year!"

The group burst into laughter, some even doubling over before heading back to supervise the laborers.

The offer instantly captured everyone's attention. This was a big payer. Normally, five Emeralds were already a rare sight, yet here they were, offering ten a crate.

"What's the cargo, and how many crates?"

"Some fireworks we bought; fifty crates in total. You interested?"
