Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)

Chapter 2161 Conflict at the Banquet

"So, he's the King of Rivenia? Well, I have to admit, I'm not particularly impressed by his appearance,

but his Green Phoenix is truly breathtaking."

"You can have your grandfather acquire the Green Phoenix for you if you're interested in it. After all, the

Sky Palace boasts numerous powerful experts, and coercing Martin to surrender the Phoenix shouldn't

pose much of a problem."

The two young individuals were clearly provoking Martin since they were conversing so loudly and

showing no respect toward him. An elderly man, who might be acquainted with the Sky Palace, was

standing nearby and overheard their conversation. Yet, he refrained from cautioning them to watch

their words. Instead, he appeared pleased that they were praising the Sky Palace, proudly stroking his

long white beard. He even shot a provoking glance in Martin's direction.

The banquet hall was not very large, so naturally, all the guests heard the exchange. They turned their

attention to Martin, the host of the event, eagerly anticipating how he would handle this awkward

situation.

However, Martin seemed unaffected by the situation. He simply smiled warmly and pretended to be

surprised. "Oh, you like my Green Phoenix? That's rare, as most people are usually afraid of it. Well,

consider it a gift for our first meeting." He signaled for the Phoenix to take flight from his shoulder with a

gentle shake of his right shoulder.

The young man, who was driven by his desire for the Green Phoenix, believed that Martin had easily

surrendered due to his fear of the Sky Palace. He confidently approached Martin with a smug

expression, eager to receive the coveted creature as a gift.

As the Phoenix spread its wings in response to its old master's signal, it vanished in the blink of an eye.

In that instant, the elders of the Sky Palace sensed something was amiss, and one of them even

reacted by hurriedly rushing forward to protect his disciple, but he arrived just a moment too late.

A piercing scream echoed through the air, and the Green Phoenix reappeared perched on Martin's

shoulder. The guests turned just to see fresh blood gushing out of the young man's chest like a

waterfall, and the chest now bore three ghastly wounds inflicted by the Phoenix's claw.

The elder applied pressure to various acupoints swiftly to staunch the bleeding. Once the bleeding

ceased, he rose to his feet, seething with anger as he questioned, "Martin, how could you stoop so low

as to bully a junior like this? It is utterly undignified!"

Nonetheless, Martin seemed unperturbed by the criticism. His face contorted into a sneer as he said,

"It appears there has been a misunderstanding. I merely granted the young man's wish by giving him

the Green Phoenix he desired. Yet now, you blame me for his inability to handle the creature? Who is

the one being unreasonable here?"

The elders from the Sky Palace found themselves at a loss for words to counter Martin's argument.

After all, it was clear that their own people had provoked Martin first and were the ones at fault. As a

result, their faces flushed red with embarrassment.

Just as the elders were grappling with embarrassment, the manager entered the room. "Mr. Newmont,

considering you are already aware of our whereabouts, you should also be aware of our purpose. Just

cut to the chase. Why have you invited us?" the manager inquired, his tone tinged with slight

dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, the presence of the manager relieved the elders from Sky Palace from

their awkward situation.

Therefore, the elder nodded in the direction of the manager to express his gratitude.

Also, the manager asked a question that had crossed the minds of everyone present at the banquet.

The manager, who was pressed for time to go somewhere else, was not inclined to engage in a

pointless and time-consuming argument with Martin.

"Very well then, let's not waste anyone's time. The purpose of this banquet invitation is straightforward:

I intend for all of us to prosper together," Martin said.

The guests whispered and murmured upon hearing his announcement.

"Help us get rich? Did I hear that correctly? He definitely has hidden motives."

Regardless, Martin remained unfazed by the doubts expressed. He simply clapped his hands, and

moments later, a large nautical map slowly unfurled behind him. As he approached the map, he spoke This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

in a composed manner, "I have been fortunate to stumble upon a new sea region while transporting my

"Are you f*cking kidding me? That's the Endless Sea!" one of the guests exclaimed in disbelief.
