The Great Medical Saint

The stone tablet wasn't that heavy. It weighed around 40 to 60 pounds, but David was very careful with it because he knew how valuable the stone tablet was.

It cost hundreds of millions, so he wouldn't be able to bear the cost if he accidentally dropped and broke it.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Suncroft Village.

Matthew said to David, "Take your phone out and give me your bank account details."

David did as Matthew told him to and asked, "Why'd you need it?"

Matthew then filled in David's account details and transferred him some money. "To give you money, of course."

Upon hearing that, David quickly retrieved his phone. "Didn't you give me 500 dollars already? You don't have to give me any more."

Matthew had already sent the money over, but he took his phone out again when he heard what David had said. "Send it back to me if that's the case."

David smiled and said, "Alright. I'll transfer it back to..."

Halfway through his words, he stopped short and widened his eyes at the notification for the amount he received. There were a ton of zeros.

It was a whole ten million dollars!

David's hand trembled, and he looked up at Matthew to ask excitedly, "Why... Why'd you give me so much money?"

Matthew casually replied, "We're both in this together, so we can be considered partners in crime. I distributed the money according to the amount of work we each did. Since I killed two Eastorians and got us the money, I should receive most of it. That's why I gave you ten million dollars. But you can return it if you don't want it."

The phone in David's hand began to tremble. Needless to say, he couldn't bear to give up the money. "Are you sure this is for me? Can you tell me why?"

But Matthew didn't answer his

Give it back to me if you don't!"

and continued to ask, "Don't you want it?

David shook his head forcefully. "I want it. I... I want it. I really need the money. You might not know this, but it's really hard for me to earn money.

"I worked so hard at the construction site that my legs have become deformed, and even my arms can't fully bend anymore. My hands are misshapen, and my body's falling apart with a ton of health issues at 50.

"And now that the real estate market is down, no one's developing buildings anymore. I... I can't find a job now, and even the factories won't hire me.

"I have debts piled up because my wife is ill and needs treatment. My daughter is

very strong-willed as well, and she told her boyfriend that if he wanted to marry her, he'd have to help me pay off my debts as well.

"It scared the poor fellow away, and it's all my fault. It's my fault for not having the ability to earn money and dragging my daughter into it as well."

While David spoke, he became sadder and sadder. He soon started to sob between his words.

Matthew was affected by it as well, and his nose started to sting as his emotions stirred from within. He only intended to give David so much money because he was worried that David would spill the beans later on.

Though killing David might be a better option than giving him money to shut his mouth, Matthew wasn't a murderer in that sense.

Back when he was in prison, one of his prison mates told him that the best way to seal someone's mouth without killing them was to bribe them and give them money.

People were desperate for money, and they wouldn't give up a huge sum just to adhere to justice.

As for the amount Matthew had given David, it didn't really matter because it wasn't his hard-earned money. He had stolen it from the Eastorian, so he wasn't stingy with it.

Still, Matthew never expected David

to talk about his struggles, and he felt a little upset by it as well. It made Matthew think back to when his grandfather was sick during troubled times and his fathechad done similar things as David.

Somehow, Matthew seemed to have formed an emotional bond with David. He slowly said, "Don't cry and just keep the money."

David wiped his tears away and swore an oath to Matthew, "My life is yours from now on, and I'll kill whoever you want me to kill. I'll even end my life if you want me to!"

At this moment, David had forgotten about the struggles of cleaning up the corpses earlier, as well as the fact that he had never even killed a chicken, let alone a living person.

Matthew thought about it for a moment before he nodded and said, "Alright then. I'll give you a call whenever I need you to clear up any corpses."

David patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry. I won't let you down on that. There's not much that I can do, but I can definitely clear up corpses. Just give me a call whenever you need me, and I'll be there."

Matthew hummed in acknowledgment and waited for David to get down from the car before he took the stone tablet to

Opulent Club. He carried the et

tablet all the way up to the ninthnoveldrama

floor and placed the stone tablet on the desk.

Afterward, he told Ansel, "I brought the stone tablet back."

Once Ansel saw the stone tablet, he exclaimed excitedly, "The Octolith! The lifelong efforts of numerous historical doctors are all contained in this thing. Break it! I want to see just what kind of treasures those historical doctors left behind!"
