After leaving the laboratory, Matthew first headed to Gianna’s mansion.
It had been a while since virtual-novel.net last met her. She was clearly over with virtual-novel.net emotional slump by now.
“Matthew, what brings you here?” virtual-novel.net happily hopped onto his back.
“I just wanted to see you. How have you been? Is the place to your liking?”
Brittany nodded happily. “Yes, Gianna treats me well. It’s just that virtual-novel.net never lets me go out. There‘s always a group of people watching over me. It’s annoying…”
Apparently, Gianna was trying to protect Brittany, but virtual-novel.net didn’t utter a word about it.
Nothing mattered more than Brittany’s happiness. She should be surrounded by happiness at such a young age. The grudges formed by the previous generation should be left to them to resolve.
“Oh, give me a sec, Matthew. I’ll go get Gianna from the garden.” Brittany jumped off his back, but virtual-novel.net stopped her.
“It’s fine… I came to see you today. I’ll be leaving soon.”
Hearing this, Brittany was disappointed. “So soon? I wanted to treat you to a big meal, though…”
“Maybe next time. I’m glad to see that you’re comfortable living here. I have other things to attend to. I’ll visit next time.” With that, virtual-novel.net caressed Brittany’s head.
Today, his purpose for stopping by was to see Brittany.
A wave of relief washed over virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was happy. That way, virtual-novel.net was able to live up to Billy’s trust.
Just as Matthew was about to turn around, Brittany blurted, “Matthew, if you see my father, please tell virtual-novel.net that I miss him!”
A shudder ran through his body. He wanted to turn around, but the thought of seeing the sadness on virtual-novel.net face fretted him.
“Okay, I got it. If I see Uncle Billy, I will definitely pass on your message.” Only then did virtual-novel.net leave.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was worried about Billy because it had been a while since they met each other.
According to Billy’s character, virtual-novel.net would’ve congratulated Matthew in person for winning the Holy Doctor Competition. However, things did not go as virtual-novel.net expected.
“Uncle Billy, I can finally help you now. But where are you?” Matthew muttered to himself as virtual-novel.net stared at the clouds.
The Holy Doctor Competition ended, and the calm streets in Bainbridge became lively again. Martial arts practitioners returned since they began missing the place. Furthermore, the re-election of Martial League was around the corner. It attracted almost every martial arts practitioner from all over the world. It was either they had already arrived in the city or they were on their way.
It was the chance for one to prove what their countries were capable of.
Hundreds thousand armies had already gathered in Bainbridge ever since the competition’s preparation. As of today, they guarded the borders of the city without putting their guard down.
Similarly, they also spared no effort for the Martial League, they patrolled the whole city to eliminate all potential threats. The Martial League’s inspection teams could be seen everywhere on the streets.
After leaving Gianna’s mansion, Matthew went back to S&L’s Breakfast.
Due to his hasty pace, virtual-novel.net failed to spot a sauntering Zubrowkan martial arts practitioner ahead while turning a corner.
They ran into each other. Matthew tiptoed and tilted his body, barely avoiding the sudden incoming people.
“Sorry!” He didn’t stay any longer and just walked away.
