Marty didn't know how to react to that. He was merely trying to flatter Matthew with a few polite words. He did not expect Matthew to actually instruct him to make a move against Cole.
He thought it would be unreasonable of the manager of Opulent Club to slap a customer. However, he didn't dare disobey, knowing that this club was built for Matthew.
Matthew's instructions had to be adhered to by everyone in the club—unless they no longer wished to work there.
The elevator slowly ascended to the ninth floor.
Upon exiting the elevator, Matthew encountered Ansel in the room decorated like a pharmacy, exactly as anticipated.
Ansel appeared to have been waiting for Mattew and smiled. "Sir, is there something you need help with?" he asked. "With your word, the entire club will be at your service."
Matthew pulled out the Tiger Seal and said, "My mentor tasked me with retrieving the Tiger Seal. Here it is."
Ansel was somewhat startled. "You found the Tiger Seal so quickly?"
As he spoke, he carefully took the Tiger Seal and examined it from all angles. Finding no issues, the ring was put inside a box and placed on a medicine cabinet.
Matthew glanced at the cabinet, noticing a few empty spots. He guessed that there might be other items to be placed there.
He remembered Ansel saying that he would learn about his mentor after completing the first task.
Now, he was particularly eager to know. "Can you tell me about my mentor now?" he asked.
Ansel gestured for Matthew to sit down. He explained, "Your mentor's identity is rather complex, and there are many details that cannot be disclosed.
"However, one thing I can reveal is that he is the leader of the medical association," he added.
Matthew had never heard of the leader of the medical association before.
He silently looked at Ansel and waited for him to continue, growing deeply curious.
Noticing Matthew's silence, Ansel said, "The leader of the medical association, in simple terms, is the head honcho."
