Chapter 2210 Arriving in Bainbridge and Meeting Barry Again
With the accompaniment of the two Kings, the journey back to Bainbridge was naturally much faster without any
stops on the way.
After disembarking, Martin stretched his body and commented in an awed voice, "I haven't been back in years,
but Bainbridge has really changed."
While he was speaking, a group of officials sporting the insignia of the Martial League walked toward them.
The man leading them was the chief of the External Affairs team whom Matthew met at Renew in the past, Barry
Morse. However, as soon as he approached the crowd, his nerves took hold of him. "Greetings, King of Rivenia.
Greetings, King of the South."
As soon as his words fell, the group of officials behind him simultaneously lifted their fists in greeting. As the two
Kings were both executives of the Martial League, they naturally could not skip the necessary courtesies.
Originally, Barry's goal was to confirm the details of the Golden Swordsman's death with Matthew, but he never

Just as he was still dumbfounded with shock, Levi spoke up. "All right, drop the courtesies. What's with the rush?
Did the people of Emsgate show up to complain?" Hearing that, Barry immediately nodded in reply.
Next to Levi, Martin reached up to Green Phoenix, who was perched on his shoulders, and slightly caressed its
feathers as he pressed impatiently, "Just speak up if there are any problems. We're in a hurry!" Although his
words were simple, they immediately made his standpoint clear-it couldn't be any more obvious that he was
giving Matthew his support, or he could've walked away without a care in the world. With the example set by
Martin, Levi was forced to follow suit as well, or he would seem cowardly instead.
On the contrary, this fact put Barry in a difficult spot, but as he was saddled with a mission from the Martial
League, he had no choice but to explain hesitantly, "Matthew, | was waiting for your arrival in order to
understand the details of the Golden Swordsman's death in Highsea a few days ago."
Although his death happened in Highsea, the Martial League was unable to turn a blind eye as it was an issue
that involved diplomacy between two nations, so it was still necessary for them to go through the required
procedures.
Meanwhile, after finding out their motives, Matthew spelled out the entire process without hiding anything.
"It was self-defense, and | had no choice but to act decisively."
At the end of the day, he was in the right. After all, those two people had ambushed him in an attempt to
assassinate him, and even if Matthew had exterminated both of them, it would still be within reason. Once
Matthew finished speaking, the record keeper next to Barry had already noted all of his words down, and Martin
as well as Levi stepped forward to put their signatures down to vouch for Matthew. With that, the matter was
considered settled.
"We understand the situation now. When the investigation is complete, we will give you a satisfactory answer,
Mr. Larson."
"King of Rivenia, King of the South, we will be taking our leave now."
At that, the Martial League's officials turned around and left. However, as Barry turned and looked back, his eyes
were subconsciously filled with fear as he looked at Matthew. After all, the existing evidence proved that this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseemingly ordinary young man was hiding a huge amount of potential.
Meanwhile, the three who remained in place were left to deal with their own matters.
"I would like to express my gratitude for testifying for me. Since the Holy Doctor Competition is about to begin,
I'll be taking my leave now. When I've settled everything, I'll invite you to a meal to formally thank you for your
help."
Although both parties were bound by their interests, it was precisely for this reason that their relationship
remained secure. As long as Matthew was able to provide them with substantial benefits, the two Kings would
ensure his safety.
For instance, when faced with Barry's questioning, Matthew wouldn't have been able to avoid a trip to the Martial
League's interrogation room if it weren't for Martin and Levi's signatures as his testimony. Behind him, Levi
watched his retreating back and muttered, "Did you place your bet so early because you think that Matthew will
be the next Holy Doctor?"
"That's a given; am | supposed to rely on you otherwise? The Reconstruction Pill's appearance has conquered a
problem that has challenged the medical field all over the world. This is a feat akin to a grandmaster's
breakthrough, so it's only natural that | have high hopes for him."
