The Great Medical Saint

Leopold swiftly replied, "Just you wait. Others may not be able to track you down, but The Fate Order can. With the right price, there's nothing The Fate Order can't do."

The Fate Order?

Nathan sported a dismissive look. The people at The Fate Order were just a bunch of brutes who relied on brute force to take down their targets. Meanwhile, he killed with strategy.

Even though they were both assassin organizations, he looked down on The Fate Order's barbaric method.

Nathan responded, "I'll say it again-those brainless muscle-heads can't find me. No one in the world can."

After saying that, he closed the chat and ended the conversation. Just as he picked up his cutlery and reached for the food, a horn rang out in the distance.

Nathan instinctively looked outside and spotted a cab in the distance speeding toward his location at around 75 mph. He was a little shocked.

On a city road like this, the speed limit was 40 mph. Was the cab driver nuts? Why was he going so fast?

Besides Nathan, the other cab drivers gathered at Rolling Meatball Kitchen were equally surprised.

With a loud screech, the cab hit the brakes and did an emergency swerve, pulling over at the restaurant's entrance. All eyes in the restaurant were on the cab. They were curious to see who the driver was and why he was in such a rush.

The back passenger door opened, and a man got out.

Wasn't that Matthew? Why was he here?

Nathan was in disbelief. He had never expected Matthew to find his way here.noveldrama

At that moment, he felt every hair on his body stand up, like a porcupine running into danger.

Matthew scanned the faces in the restaurant. He only knew the owner of The Misfortune's Veil had the license plate 8HCA923, but he didn't know what the owner looked like.

He glanced around and noticed the people in the pasta restaurant had a mix of expressions. Some looked surprised, some looked confused, and some stared back at him as if he were crazy.

Matthew scanned the faces one by one until he caught the terror in Nathan's eyes. He instantly knew this was the person he was looking for, so he immediately walked toward Nathan.

Upon seeing Matthew making his way over, Nathan was so frightened that his legs felt like jelly. People weren't aware of his story, but he knew it all too well.

As long as Nathan remained hidden, he was like a king in the shadows, holding everyone's fate in his hands. At his word, The Misfortune's Veit assassins would pour out, and anyone who offended him could die in an "accident". But as soon as his cover was blown, he was a nobody.

If he fell into Matthew's hands, he'd be as good as dead. Watching Matthew approaching felt like death

itself was closing in on him.gege

time to think, Nathan swung a chair at the window. The glass broke, and the shards scattered on the floor. Cóntent

The diners in the restaurant were startled by the scene. Everyone stared in shock, forgetting about their food.

After smashing the window, Nathan leaped out of it and frantically ran away. Meanwhile, Matthew had only entered the restaurant and was surprised to see Nathan making a run for it.

Within moments, Matthew came to the window, jumping out to chase after Nathan.

Behind the restaurant was a grassy area leading to the riverbank. It was overgrown with foxtails, thistles, and clover, all reaching up to knee height.

Nathan ran for his life, stumbling over the uneven ground. He kept going until he reached Lambda River's riverbank and couldn't go any further.

Matthew was delighted when he saw Nathan stop, realizing that Nathan couldn't swim. Otherwise, Nathan would have jumped into the river to escape, like Anthony had.

Matthew kept getting closer, and now, they were only a few feet away. Upon seeing that, Nathan shouted in fear, "Stop! Don't come any closer or I'll—"

He stammered for a while, only to find he had nothing he could use to intimidate Matthew.
