Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3679

As he spoke, Bud's emotions started to rise.

"You think the guard unit will stay strong forever? What happens when you and I are dead? What about Yvette then?"

"You want her—an unarmed girl—to survive alone on this island? What? Should she end up in the d*mn red-light district just to live?"

Nathaniel fell silent as Bud roared at him.

It felt like he was meeting this version of Bud for the first time.

Then, a sharp slap rang out.

Bud, who'd been shouting just moments before, fell completely quiet.

"Bud? What about Yvette? Your so-called protection meant feeding her a slow-acting poison? Faking her death just to distract me?"

Nathaniel's voice was icy cold, every word pressed like a dagger.

He could understand everything Bud had done—except for what he'd done to his daughter.

Bud gave a half-smile. "Nathaniel, every plan comes with risk. We had the antidote. We could've brought her back any time.

"And that vial Gideon gave me—I switched it out. There was never any danger."

Nearby, Gideon—still on the ground—felt a jolt of shock ripple through him.

What does that mean? Wasn't I the one planning everything from the shadows? Why… Why do I not understand a word of this?

He remembered how excited Bud had looked when he'd handed him the poison, but now…

Bud, still tied up, glanced toward Gideon and noticed the shift in his expression. His face twisted into a mocking grin.

"You thought I didn't know what was going on? You think I played dumb because I was clueless?"

"No. I wanted the snakes hiding behind you to take the bait. If my timing is right, your little friends are probably mobilizing as we speak."

Anyone who could survive on Blackshore Island wasn't a fool.

And Bud? Bud had survived very well.
