Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3692

"Two days earlier, I had my men fill the pit with dirt just so you would notice. That was why I kept scouts tracking your spies in secret the entire time.

"Yesterday, the loud and showy bridge construction was meant to draw you into acting again.

"For that reason, I even placed several checkpoints at the entrance. I never thought you would be taken out before you even reached the bridge. What a shame."

Matthew cleared his throat, took a slow sip of tea, and continued, "When you tried to ambush Whisperfall Bridge, the North District soldiers had already locked the East District in from every direction.

"So, who is going to rescue you now?"

It had all been a trap within a trap. Lord Vohran had been dancing to Matthew's tune from the very beginning.

Just then, a violet-clad soldier dragged forward two merchants.

"Lady Veyra, please spare me. I will return all the money to this gentleman."

"We only did what we did to him because Lord Vohran forced us. Please, Lady Veyra, have mercy."

Everyone looked closer. They were the air-cushion bridge owner and Ira, the man who had ferried travelers across just days before.

They had both been bought by Lord Vohran.

"You are people of the North District, yet you worked with the East District to frame Dr. Larden, a man who has only ever helped me.

"Today, I will clean out my own. No one shall betray North District and get away with it."

Before her voice had faded, two arrows flew and struck both men down.

The merchants and townsfolk nearby stepped back quickly, fear flashing in their eyes. Lady Veyra was as decisive as her reputation claimed.

Lord Vohran watched her close the distance between them. He struggled with all his strength but could not move an inch.

"Don't be afraid, Vohran. I will send you home now."

Lady Veyra gave a slow, crooked smile. Several officers in violet seized Vohran like he was nothing more than an animal and tossed him into a manure cart.

"Dr. Larden, return to the villa and catch up on some rest. I have something to do. Please look after my mother."

"You have my word. I will wait for your good news."

She and Matthew shared a knowing smile, then she led the violet-clad army toward the East District, their march sending dust billowing through the air.

The words rang familiar in Matthew's mind.

In District 13, Nathaniel had told him to care for Yvette before going into battle.

Now in District 12, Lady Veyra had asked him to watch her mother before doing the same.
