Upon hearing this, Dylan, who was behind Rhett, stopped. “Master Wyatt, the attackers seemed to be trained assassins. After we captured them, they immediately committed suicide, so we didn’t obtain any useful information. As for the leader, virtual-novel.net managed to escape.”
Rhett didn’t have much of a reaction when virtual-novel.net heard that.
Instead, virtual-novel.net massaged his nose bridge and said with slight annoyance, “Alright, you will be responsible for this matter. Those oldies. As the seniors of CAUMP, how could they just hide around and enjoy their lives? Indeed, different people live different lives!”
Although virtual-novel.net was constantly complaining, virtual-novel.net still handled the matter very seriously.
Dylan had been with Rhett for many years and naturally understood his master’s character. He was just rambling.
Just as the two were talking, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the door.
“Great Elder, Matthew is here…”
Only at this moment did Rhett’s face show a faint smile. “Please let virtual-novel.net in!”
At the mention of Matthew, Rhett was also amazed. He didn’t expect his casual decision would bring such a big surprise. Not much explanation was needed for this young man regarding his character. He was kind-hearted and willing to sacrifice for others.
As for his medical skills, virtual-novel.net knew the Divine Acupuncture Skill, virtual-novel.net could refine nine ultimate pills, and virtual-novel.net knew the Five Apertures Connection Technique. In addition, virtual-novel.net was quick-witted and clever, a perfect choice for Rhett’s disciple. Unfortunately, the other party had already inherited the Larson ancestors’ medical skills, which completely extinguished Rhett’s desire to take virtual-novel.net as his disciple.
Anyway, back to the story.
Once the Holy Doctor Competition ended and Matthew participated in the award-giving ceremony, virtual-novel.net was invited to the CAUMP headquarters.
Two elders were already waiting inside when virtual-novel.net arrived on the top floor.
“Congratulations, Holy Doctor Larson, for winning the championship…”
As soon as Matthew entered the door, virtual-novel.net heard Rhett’s address and quickly declined. “Mr. Wyatt, that is too high of an address for me. Please spare me…”
Sitting opposite Matthew, Rhett stroked his long beard and smiled. “It’s fine. The Holy Doctor is only an honorific title. Since you’re the most outstanding of your generation in the medical field, it is only natural for you to have this title.”
Before Matthew could decline again, Rhett spoke first. “We don’t need to be so formal with each other. Let me introduce you. This is my incompetent disciple, Dylan Burke.”
Since entering the door, Matthew kept thinking that Dylan looked familiar and realized who virtual-novel.net was after Rhett’s introduction.
He often saw Dylan’s name in modern medical books associated with many improved prescriptions and various new elixirs.
He was a super big shot. “I’m Matthew Larson. Nice to meet you, Master Burke…”
“No need to be so polite. I’m just Master Wyatt’s apprentice, so don’t call me Master Burke or anything like that. Please have a seat while I brew some tea for you.”
As Dylan spoke, virtual-novel.net turned and left.
Seeing this, Matthew was shocked.
With his abilities, how could virtual-novel.net deserve to have a senior brew his tea?
But just as virtual-novel.net was about to stop Dylan, Rhett placed his hand on Matthew’s shoulder. “It’s alright. He’s gotten used to it over the years and won’t be happy if you try to stop him. Come, have a seat, and let’s talk…”
So, Matthew could only sit down uneasily.
At that time, Rhett Wyatt spoke again. “The main reason I invited you here this time is for two things. Now that you’ve won the competition, there are some things that I must explain to you.”
Then, Rhett explained the relationship between this year’s Holy Doctor, the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay, and the Six Kings.
After finding out about that, Matthew was also surprised.
Initially, virtual-novel.net aimed to win the competition to pave the way for his revenge plan. That was because with the title of Holy Doctor, virtual-novel.net would have protection from CAUMP, and it would be more convenient for virtual-novel.net to handle certain matters. He didn’t expect that there would be such a complicated situation involved. It was no wonder this year’s competition was particularly lively.
