Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3681

Outside the gates of the Guard Corps, a sea of black-clad men stretched across the entrance, forming a menacing wall with three distinct groups.

The three leaders stood at the front of each group, draped in flowing black battle robes. Their gazes were sharp and provocative as they stared into the compound with open defiance.

"Elijah…" Nathaniel stepped out from within the gates, calmly polishing the barrel of his T50 sniper rifle with a cloth.

"I wasn't even looking for you, yet here you are—delivering yourself to my doorstep."

Elijah Seymour, head of the rebel forces in District 13, was the real mastermind behind Gideon's schemes.

His influence was second only to the Guard Corps under Nathaniel's command.

The rebel forces had never dared to openly confront the Guard Corps before, choosing instead to send Gideon to infiltrate the Guard Corps and gather intelligence from within. They were hoping to sabotage operations and bring down Nathaniel's forces from the inside.

Joining forces with the Seymour Family were two minor families—the Bane Family and the MacAtilla Family.

These two families had always harbored resentment toward Nathaniel, but their power and influence were lacking in comparison. With no strength to challenge him on their own, they decided to side with the Seymour Family and overthrow the Guard Corps together.

Elijah recently received a false intelligence report from Gideon, claiming that the Guard Corps was in complete disarray. The message also stated that Nathaniel had completely fallen out with Bud, and both sides had suffered massive casualties.

It was the perfect opportunity to strike and take down the Guard Corps in one fell swoop.

Convinced that victory was within reach, Elijah immediately mobilized his forces and brought overwhelming firepower straight to the gates of the Guard Corps.

At this moment, he became even more confident of his victory when he saw Nathaniel standing at the gate with only a handful of elite squads.

Compared to the mighty force behind him, there was nothing to fear. Those men were laughably outnumbered.

The bloodstains covering Nathaniel's face and clothes did not escape his notice either. Combined with the despair etched into Nathaniel's expression, he became even more convinced that the intelligence report was true—Nathaniel had been thoroughly crushed. His morale was shattered, and his will to fight was gone.

But what he didn't know… was that the blood belonged to Bud.

Gideon has done a good job. Elijah secretly smirked to himself in satisfaction.

"Look at you now, Nathaniel… Do you really believe you're fit to lead the Guard Corps?

"Even your closest aide, who served you for over a decade, wants you dead.

"If you ask me, you'd be better off handing over the captain's position and retiring to the mountains with that comatose daughter of yours."

Nathaniel felt a surge of fury shooting through his chest when he heard the insults directed at both him and his daughter, but he quickly composed himself again. Not a flicker of his emotions reached his face.

Burying his rage beneath a mask of despair, he slowly stepped forward until he stood alone before Elijah.

"Fine." His voice sounded totally defeated. "I'll hand the captain's position over to you. All I ask is that you spare my daughter… and me."

"Hahaha!" Elijah cackled. "You really are something, Nathaniel! That was so decisive!"

Another voice chimed in, "Truly a man who knows when to bend when needed, Mr. Quinn!"

…

The mockery did not make Nathaniel flinch in the slightest.

Unfazed by the taunts, he quietly slipped a hidden dagger into his hand. It was better to let them laugh and gloat while he waited for the right moment to strike.

In their eyes, he was nothing more than a beaten dog.
