Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3678

As the blinding white light finally faded—

Gideon tried to move.

But the cold, unmistakable press of metal against his forehead told him everything he needed to know.

His right eyelid twitched uncontrollably.

I've been captured.

To show his sincerity, Gideon dropped to the ground flat on his stomach and immediately tossed his weapon far away.

When his vision finally cleared, the first thing he saw was Nathaniel—fully armored—standing over Bud.

Bud had already been bound up tight with rope.

"Nathaniel! I was wrong! I never should've set my sights on your position!" Gideon wailed. "I'll hand over everything—just spare my life!"

Neither of them had expected to lose this quickly.

Nathaniel removed his gas mask, his cold gaze settling on Bud.

"Bud… you've followed me for over ten years. Do you know why I never let you be anything more than my second-in-command?"

"Because you lack conviction. The moment something tempts you, you go for it—no matter what."

"You never stop to ask whether it crosses a line."

Nathaniel crouched down in front of him, voice low and bitter.

"If you'd told me you wanted the position, I might've said yes. I'd have given it to you."

"Because, back then, I saw you as a brother."

His hand suddenly yanked Bud by the collar.

A furious roar followed.

"Tell me why."

"Tell me why!"

"If it hadn't been for Yvette's mother begging me to save you, you'd have been dead years ago!"

"She treated you like her own brother. Did she ever mistreat you?"
