Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)

At this point, the entire kingdom of Montiria was gripped by terror, and it wasn't just the remnants of the Third Prince Garrett's faction that were being persecuted. Anyone who caught the eye of the Gloam Wing could find themselves branded as a traitor and slaughtered in At the entrance of a village within Montiria's borders, a large group of people had gathered. Their eyes were sunken, their faces ghostly pale, and their bodies emaciated to the point where it seemed a gust of wind could topple them.

their own home by nightfall. The entire nation was on edge, with everyone fearing for their lives.

These were the people who had been deeply affected by the Night Vine across thousands of villages. They were also the first group selected by Matthew and Paintaker to undergo withdrawal treatment. If this initial group responded well, Matthew's methods would be implemented on a larger scale.

Just as this group was about to head to Seraphis for treatment, a multitude of Gloam Wing soldiers surrounded them. Armed with various weapons, the soldiers aimed their blackened gun barrels directly at the group.

As this group was preparing to head to Seraphis, countless soldiers of the Gloam Wing suddenly surrounded them, weapons in hand, with dark barrels pointed directly at the crowd.

Cyrus stepped forward from the ranks and shouted at the group, "Get down on the ground, you filthy peasants!"

Under the threat of the gun barrels, the thousand or so Night Vine victims quickly squatted down. Their families, who had come to see them off, were momentarily stunned and instinctively tried to approach. The guns instantly swiveled, aiming at them instead. "You worthless lot, get down too!"

Instantly, the simple villagers, believing that compliance would keep them safe, quickly squatted down as well.

Seeing them obey, Cyrus grinned with a sense of achievement. "Take them all in!"

One of the members behind him looked troubled. "Commander Hale, we don't have enough room to hold so many people."

Cyrus shot him a cold glare and snapped, "The prison is huge, and you tell me it can't hold a few peasants?!"

"But they haven't committed any crimes..."

"Who knows if these lowlifes will actually detox from the Night Vine properly? We're doing them a favor by helping them."

The subordinate sighed in resignation and began passing on Cyrus' orders. "Everyone, get up in pairs and start moving!"

The villagers looked around in confusion, not understanding why the Gloam Wing was making them leave.

After following Matthew's advice,

they completely abandoned the cultivation of Night Vine and started

peacefully, but the arrival of the

Gloam Wing shattered that dream.

As some soldiers of the Gloam Wing began leading the villagers away, Cyrus' eyes gleamed with greed as he looked at the large cluster of villages. But after considering the small number of troops he had, he decided to wait for now.

Across Montiria, the Gloam Wing

had become a lawless organization,

deceiving their superiors and committing all manner of atrocities. But because of their ruthless nature, no one dared to provoke them-this rabid dog that would bite anyone.

In the dungeons of the Gloam Wing's secret service-a place that had once belonged to the Ebony Eagles-those who had been arrested sat huddled in corners, trying to comfort one another.

Cyrus' eyes narrowed with malice as he spoke to his lieutenant. "I don't care what you have to do, but I want these people to admit they've pledged allegiance to Matthew Larson."

Seeing the confusion in his

lieutenant's eyes, Cyrus continued, "And make them say that the detox is just a scam by Larson to monopolize the Night Vine trade. And remember, don't worry about their lives-use whatever means necessary. If they die, just toss them in there."

Cyrus pointed to a massive pit, 150 feet deep and 150 feet wide. Inside were the bodies of all those who had died the previous night, their corpses collected and dumped into this mass grave by Cyrus.
