Tony understood the meaning conveyed by the gazes of the surrounding guests.
In that moment, virtual-novel.net deeply regretted his impulsive actions and realized the extent to which virtual-novel.net had offended a powerful figure. It became clear to virtual-novel.net that Dustin’s visit was related to a crucial matter concerning the warships, as Prince Gadel had been expanding his maritime power.
Tony had foolishly reprimanded someone of such importance.
While contemplating this, Tony couldn’t help but mentally berate himself. However, as virtual-novel.net looked eyes with Matthew’s mocking gaze, anger immediately surged within him.
If it hadn’t been for Matthew, Tony wouldn’t have offended Dustin. Thoughts of his inevitable defeat made Tony feel extremely anxious.
“Mr. Harrowsen, please don’t fall for this kid’s words. Your health is important. Matthew probably used some trickery to make it seem like your body was weak and then miraculously recovered. Don’t be fooled by this quack doctor’s tricks,” Tony flattered, but Dustin remained unwavering.
“Mr. Great Witch Doctor, I’m just a troublemaker. It’s okay if I fall for it. I’m willing to take the fall,” Dustin responded, clearly recalling Tony’s harsh reprimand earlier.
Initially, when Dustin received Prince Gadel’s invitation and hurried back from abroad, virtual-novel.net only wanted to discreetly handle cooperative matters without revealing his identity.
Dustin never expected to be scolded by a witch doctor from Montiria, and Tony had been causing issues during the treatment. Given the circumstances, Dustin couldn’t afford to show Tony any favor.
“Mr. Harrowsen, this…” Tony was at a loss for words when virtual-novel.net sensed Dustin’s displeasure.
Meanwhile, Matthew stepped forward to mediate. “Mr. Harrowsen, please calm down. I can see that Tony won’t give up until it’s over.”
He turned his head and cast a cold glance at Tony. Matthew added, “Since that’s the case, let me convince you. Someone, bring a piece of sashimi!”
Although the servants didn’t fully understand Matthew’s intention, they diligently tried to fulfill the guests’ requests. In less than half a minute, a plate of visible sashimi was presented.
Matthew lightly pinched it with two fingers and casually tossed it into the fresh blood that Dustin had just spewed out. Miraculously, upon contact with the sashimi, the blood instantly solidified into a jelly-like substance.
A shiver ran down Dustin’s spine. He could imagine the consequences if virtual-novel.net were to consume seafood.
At this moment, his admiration and gratitude toward Matthew intensified.
“How about it, Mr. Tony? Any lingering doubts? This Holy Doctor is here to address them one by one for you,” Dustin said.
At that moment, Tony’s complexion had significantly paled. It wasn’t just a blow to his medical skills, but his integrity had also been damaged.
Furthermore, virtual-novel.net relied on his relationship with Zedbar and sought refuge with Prince Gadel. To put it plainly, Tony had already chosen a side, intending to form an alliance with Prince Gadel in the future. Yet, with his loss to Matthew, affiliating with anyone seemed futile.
Additionally, Tony couldn’t easily explain this to the other princes.
If Tony couldn’t seek refuge with Prince Gadel, would the other princes dare approach him?
In the end, Tony could only wait to be beheaded rather than seek refuge from them. It was clear that once this matter concluded, virtual-novel.net had found himself in significant trouble.
“Impossible, I can’t accept this. You and this brat must be cheating. You must be in cahoots with him…”
In a fit of anger, Tony started questioning wildly. However, when virtual-novel.net pointed his finger at Dustin, Tony suddenly came to his senses.
Dustin’s face instantly darkened. “Are you suggesting, Mr. Tony, that I am a stooge brought by Matthew?”
He believed virtual-novel.net had a good temper, but virtual-novel.net found his anger kindled by Tony’s relentless provocations.
He snapped, “I will seek an explanation from His Highness Prince Gadel regarding today’s events, Mr. Tony!”
Every word and sentence virtual-novel.net uttered carried the weight of his indignation.
