As the competitions of the Cathay’s Union of Medical Practitioners and the Martial League were held back-toback, the security and governance inspections in Bainbridge had been rather strained. Still, their security was far from breached as they had even gone as far as to offer overtime to maintain strict control of Cathay.
That was especially true for any dangerous individuals. They were immediately placed under the surveillance of the Martial League from the moment they stepped into Bainbridge. An example of a dangerous individual would be Lord Voodoo.
After a series of inspections and inquiries, the young man from the Martial League recorded everything in detail.
“By the way, Lord Voodoo, since you’ve gone to such lengths to disguise yourself, we hope that you will maintain this appearance until you leave Bainbridge. Otherwise, we will have reason to suspect that you have other sinister motives for your presence in Bainbridge. Okay, that will be all. Welcome to Bainbridge.” After that, the young man from the Martial League slowly walked away.
When the other party disappeared into the distance, the smile on Lord Voodoo’s face vanished and was replaced by an extremely gloomy expression instead.
Not only had virtual-novel.net lost all his cultivation, but the other party was also from the Martial League. As such, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to swallow his anger and humiliation.
The reason for his arrival in Bainbridge was very simple, virtual-novel.net wanted to obtain a new Immortal Bug.
Back then, virtual-novel.net had been determined to perish together with Matthew. As a result, both ofthem had lost their martial arts during the battle.
Afterward, virtual-novel.net was forced to cultivate a new Immortal Charm for Levi in exchange for his life. It was also precisely because of these reasons that virtual-novel.net had exhausted his supply of Larva of the Immortal Charm.
In return, Levi not only spared his life but also shared a piece of information with him. It turned out that Fabien had a rainbow devil’s serpent in his possession.
The rainbow devil’s serpent not only had extremely poisonous properties, but it was also highly vicious and ferocious. Not to mention, the rainbow devil’s serpent in question was a king of snakes that had survived in a naturally formed vessel like the Isle of Snakes.
If virtual-novel.net could refine the rainbow devil’s serpent into his Immortal Bug, then virtual-novel.net would be able to recover his full strength. That was not all. His cultivation would also increase considerably.
These were the reasons why virtual-novel.net had disguised himself as an old man. On one hand, virtual-novel.net had lost all his cultivation. If virtual-novel.net was discovered by his enemies, virtual-novel.net was bound to suffer a horrible and tragic death. On the other hand, it was also for the convenience of approaching his goal.
When that thought crossed his mind, a sinister smile slowly spread across his face. “Matthew, it looks like our game of chess is about to resume once more.”

After two or three days of commotion, the crowd of reporters surrounding the entrance of Renew Pharmaceuticals finally dispersed over time.
As a result of their actions, the popularity surrounding Renew Pharmaceuticals that accumulated because of Matthew reduced significantly.
In contrast, Virtuoso Pharmaceuticals which was located opposite Renew Pharmaceuticals began to garner popularity.
As for Matthew, the time of his death was swiftly approaching. So, virtual-novel.net decided to stop working at the clinic for the time being and devoted himself to his cultivation instead.
It was currently late at night. As the seasons gradually turned to autumn, the nights were quieter than usual.
Matthew was in the middle of his cultivation practice when virtual-novel.net heard a strange sound coming from outside his window.
“Who is it?”
He snapped his eyes open and immediately climbed to his feet. Then, virtual-novel.net leaped out of the room in a flash.
It was only for a brief moment, but virtual-novel.net noticed a dark shadow jumping over the wall and disappearing into the night.
His angry shout naturally alerted Salazar and Shawn to the situation.
When the two of them rushed out of their rooms, Matthew gave them an order.
“Stay here and protect the others.”
After that, virtual-novel.net took off in the direction of the dark figure’s escape with the Thunder Sword in hand.
Ten minutes later, virtual-novel.net came to a small pond at the back of the mountain. The other party was nowhere to be seen by now.
He observed his surroundings and realized that further attempts at pursuing the dark figure were hopeless.
Combined with the warnings from Hildegard and Lola, virtual-novel.net decided to leave this place immediately. He was just about to turn around and leave when a large hand emerged from beside him. The clawed hand was aiming directly for his chest.
Matthew was caught completely off-guard. Still, his quick reflexes saved virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net hurriedly leaned back. Then, virtual-novel.net used one hand to support himself on the ground and leaped backward to create some distance between them.
“Who are you? Why did you infiltrate Renew Pharmaceuticals in the middle of the night?”
He originally hoped to gain some information from the masked man in front of virtual-novel.net through questioning. It was a pity that the other party ignored his questions.
The masked man lifted both arms. It was quickly accompanied by a storm of fist shadows and the punches rained down on Matthew like endless raindrops.
Matthew stopped wasting his energy when virtual-novel.net realized that his plan to gain information had failed.
During their exchange of blows, virtual-novel.net was surprised to learn that the opponent was unexpectedly powerful. His arms had gone numb from the impact even though virtual-novel.net successfully withstood the opponent’s onslaught earlier.
