Chapter 105
After Matthew knocked for a long time, the door finally opened.
Jenny Reed, dressed in a courier uniform, stood at the door. She appeared to be in her early 20s and was quite attractive. Upon seeing Matthew, she inquired, “Who are you looking for?”
Matthew explained his reason for coming, “My mentor is a friend of Walter, so I’ve come to visit on his behalf.”
She appeared saddened as she replied, “My grandfather has passed away.
Matthew nodded and mentioned that he had heard about it when asking for directions. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Please accept my condolences. If you encounter any difficulties, do let me know. I’ll assist you however I can,” he said.
She shook her head gently. “Never mind. There are some things you can’t help with.”
Matthew pointed toward the red characters in the corridor and said, “I noticed the graffiti. How much do you owe? I’ll help you repay it.”
Her eyes brightened momentarily before dimming again. “Forget it. It’s too much to ask. Thank you for your kindness.

Matthew could empathize with her feelings. The sudden appearance of a stranger offering to pay off their debt would seem unbelievable to anyone.
He stated, “Your grandfather, saved my mentor, and that’s invaluable. Can you tell me how much you owe? I’ll cover the entire amount.”
Her eyes brightened once more. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke, “My name is Jenny Reed. Thank you. If you help me through this tough time, I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”
She added, “If you reconsider after hearing the amount and choose not to assist, I won’t hold it against you. I owe 890 thousand dollars.”
Matthew didn’t hesitate. “I’ll help you repay this debt. Call the debt collector, and I’ll give them the money right away.
Jenny was so overwhelmed with excitement that she was speechless. She paced back and forth nervously until Matthew gently reminded her to call the person to collect the money.
With his reminder, she regained her composure and made the call.
20 minutes later, Ivan Roy arrived with two of his henchmen. He casually entered the house and took a seat on the
couch.
Lighting up a cigarette, he spoke slowly, “Jenny, if you called me here but can’t pay the money, your brother will be in
trouble.”
Looking eagerly at Matthew, Jenny waited for him to speak.
Matthew cleared his throat and said, “Write up a statement for the 890 thousand dollars, and I’ll transfer the money
to you.”
Ivan pulled out his phone and glanced at Matthew dismissively. “Looks like you’ve found yourself a sucker, huh? If he’s willing to pay then sure, I’ll accept.”
He showed his payment QR code to Matthew and said, “You can transfer the money here.”
Matthew scanned the code and transferred the 890 thousand dollars directly. “Alright, you can write the debt off now that the payment has been settled.”
Ivan heard the notification on his phone and exclaimed, “You really have this much on hand! Where did you get so much money? How can this be?”
Matthew was utterly perplexed. Ivan was supposed to collect debts, but there wasn’t a bit of joy after receiving the
money. He found it puzzling and incredibly strange.
Jenny said from the side, “Write a receipt, and our debt is settled!”
Ivan took a few drags from his cigarette and glared coldly at Jenny. “This 890 thousand dollars is just the interest. You still owe another 890 thousand dollars. Once you pay that, the debt will be settled!”
Jenny was trembling with anger and stammered, “Ivan Roy, y–you… What do you want from me?”
The look of disdain on Ivan’s face was obvious. “You know what I want. Hand over the Medieval Medicine, or you’ll owe me another 890 thousand dollars!”
Jenny exclaimed in frustration, “There is
o Medieval Medicine! My family never possessed Medieval Medicine. All we had was that Tiger Seal. You already took it last time. Even if you force me to my death, I can’t give you what you want.
Ivan’s voice turned cold as he said, “I don’t care. If you can’t give me the Medieval Medicine, your brother won’t
survive.”

Matthew had been observing quietly. Upon hearing about the Tiger Seal, he finally felt relieved as the mission could be completed.
“Ivan, right? The money has been transferred to you. Return the Tiger Seal or the three of you won’t be able to leave,” he stated firmly.
Ivan tossed his cigarette aside and rose to his feet. He looked at Matthew with a malevolent grin.
He snarled, “Who the hell are you? How dare you ask me for the Tiger Seal? I guess you’ve got a death wish!”
