Later, Matthew regained consciousness, not knowing how long virtual-novel.net had been locked in a steel cage. He then noticed a man lying beside virtual-novel.net and realized virtual-novel.net was looking at Tristan.
‘Tristan is here. I guess the attacker simply beat the lights out of virtual-novel.net without killing him…’
He helped Tristan up and reached for his silver needles to help Tristan come around, only to discover that his pocket was empty.
‘Those people must have taken all my silver needles and elixirs…’ Matthew furrowed his brow and pressed his finger against a few pressure points on Tristan’s body.
Tristan awoke a few moments later. He scanned his surroundings and wrinkled his brow before leaping to his feet and hissing in a harsh voice. “Show yourself, Freya!”
When Matthew heard Tristan’s words, his heart skipped a beat.
‘Freya Green? So, it was virtual-novel.net all along…’
As virtual-novel.net continued to dwell on the situation, virtual-novel.net was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice from the darkness.
“Do you want to die?”
Matthew was startled by this and focused his gaze on a shadow that emerged from the darkness as virtual-novel.net hadn’t noticed anyone else in the area until then.
‘Whoever is standing in the dark now is definitely to be feared. How did I fail to see this person sneaking up behind me? It looks like Raven‘s sister is here, Freya Green…’
As Matthew looked closer, virtual-novel.net noticed a shadow of a tall lady about five feet seven. She was shown to be clad in green, with a green veil covering half of virtual-novel.net face, leaving only virtual-novel.net deep black eyes and fair forehead exposed. At the same time, virtual-novel.net appeared to be carrying what seemed like a blade unlike any others seen previously.
Matthew could tell it was a sword based on the length of the blade. After all, while a typical blade was usually three feet long, the sword virtual-novel.net was carrying appeared to be longer than four feet, with a nearly one-foot-long hilt.
Despite the plain appearance of the wooden sheath, virtual-novel.net was more interested in the wood used to make it.
In fact, the sheath the lady was holding appeared to be made of fire mulberry wood, which was extremely rare. However, due to the woods excellent heat conductivity, an average person could not withstand the heat energy it released.
Matthew wondered how the lady remained unfazed despite carrying the sword on virtual-novel.net back.
At that moment, Tristan also saw Freya and said with a low voice, “Freya, Dr. Larson already made it clear that virtual-novel.net won’t treat my grandpa, so this is between you and me. Leave Dr. Larson out of this. Just let virtual-novel.net go and we‘ll settle things out between us. What do you think?”
Matthew was taken aback when virtual-novel.net heard Triston plead with Freya to spare his life, and virtual-novel.net looked at Tristan with amazement. Deep down, virtual-novel.net had always considered Tristan an arrogant toff who was challenging to get along with. Therefore, virtual-novel.net was stunned by Triston’s considerate and selfless nature.
“You are in no position to negotiate with me!” She stood in the dark, responding to Tristan coldly.
“How can you take an innocent life, Freya?” Tristan questioned virtual-novel.net anxiously.
“l can do whatever I want. No one else in the world, except my brother, can tell me what I should do,” Freya responded.
“How dare you…” Tristan uttered.
“You! Come out!” Freya pointed at Matthew without looking at Tristan. “My brother is hurt. Treat virtual-novel.net right now!”
Matthew wrinkled his brow, annoyed by Freya‘s haughty and domineering attitude. Although virtual-novel.net initially didn’t want to become their enemy, virtual-novel.net couldn‘t help but become furious when watching the interaction between Freya and Tristan.
“l’m sorry. I have a lot of patients to tend to, so your brother will have to wait, at least after Old Master Cosby,” virtual-novel.net answered harshly.
