The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 100

Matthew exuded a deadly presence after hearing Zane's threatening words. Suddenly, the surrounding temperature on the hot beach seemed to have dropped drastically.

Zane shuddered in instinctual fear. It felt like a ferocious beast had set its eyes on him.

Out of the blue, someone called from a distance, "Hey, what a surprise to see you here."

Matthew found the voice familiar and looked over. Was that Alex Miller?

The last time Matthew saw Alex was at Opulent Club, where Marty had dragged Alex away.

Matthew didn't expect to run into Alex here. But he wasn't close to him in the least, so he just took a glance and then proceeded to ignore Alex.

Having seen Alex, Zane quickly stood up—disregarding Matthew. He enthusiastically greeted, "You're a busy man, Mr. Miller. I can't believe I ran into you here. It's an honor."

While Zane was talking, he extended his hand for a handshake.

Alex asked absentmindedly, "What are you doing here, Zane?"

Zane casually offered a cigarette to Alex. "We're sorting out an issue, Mr. Miller. Some idiot got on the wrong side of my men in Brotherhood. I was about to deal with him. If it bothers you, I'll take him somewhere else."

Zane liked to show off in front of his men. But in Alex's presence, he was deferential.

The Brotherhood gang had been around for a decade, but its foundation was shallow compared to the long-standing Miller family. The group was hardly worth mentioning in a Miller's presence.

Alex knitted his brows together. "Who are you dealing with?"

Zane pointed at Matthew. "That fool—"

Before Zane could finish speaking, Alex slapped him hard. "Who the hell are you calling a fool?"

Shocked, Zane held his stinging cheek and retorted, "You've got it wrong, Mr. Miller. I was referring to the guy over there. I wouldn't dare disrespect you, even if I had nine lives."

As Zane spoke, he pointed his finger at Matthew again.

Zane's face paled when he learned he was in serious trouble. Even Alex had to curry favor with this person. He couldn't even imagine the background and influence Matthew possessed.

Without hesitation, Zane scrambled to his feet, then dropped to his knees in front of Matthew. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize who you were and was being disrespectful. I'll accept any punishment you deem necessary."

Zane's henchmen and Peony were terrified as they witnessed the events unfold.

Matthew glanced at Alex and realized that Marty must have filled Alex in. Regardless, he was pleased since it saved him some trouble. "Alright, tell me. Who sent you to Wealthwave Group's factory and made you drive the workers out?"

Zane looked troubled. After taking a moment, he spewed the truth, "It's Steve Foreman."

Matthew had never heard of this name before. "Who's that? What does he do for a living? Where does he live?"

Zane shook his head. "I don't know. I only got to know him ten years ago, when Brotherhood wasn't established yet.

"Back then, my buddies and I used to spend our time at gambling dens. We met a guy one day who had us run some errands for him. He paid us well each time. Eventually, we used the money to form Brotherhood."
