The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 544

Brad's gaze fell on the Juprus Ring, and his expression became solemn.

After a long while, he looked up at Matthew and said, "Mr. Grant, this Juprus Ring holds great significance. Are you sure you want to use it to kill Horace?"

Even Brad changed the way he spoke and used honorifics with Matthew when he saw the ring.

Matthew replied without a single moment of hesitation, "That's right. I'm going to use the Juprus Ring to kill Horace!"

Upon hearing that, Brad stared at Matthew with a trace of doubt. "Mr. Grant, this ring alone isn't enough if you want to kill Horace!"

Matthew had always been oblivious to the Juprus Ring's history, so when he heard what Brad said, he immediately asked, "Why not?"

Brad then revealed a hint of oddity in his eyes as he scrutinized Matthew a few times. Then, he said, "I'm starting to wonder if you randomly picked up the Juprus Ring from somewhere."

Matthew knew it was a little suspicious for him to not know the history of the Juprus Ring as its owner, but this was the only token Nicholas had left for him, so Brad had gone a little far by saying that.

Matthew couldn't bear it and refuted, "Why don't you randomly pick up another Juprus Ring for me, then?"

At that, Brad began to shake his head. "I was just saying, but there's only one of it in the entire world. The Juprus Ring symbolizes Juprus and represents the highest honor.

"But that doesn't mean it grants you power over life and death. The real thing that grants you the authority to kill is the Juprus Blade.

"As long as you present the Juprus Blade, not only can you demand me to kill Horace but also his entire family. At that time, I'll personally bring my men and destroy his entire lineage."

It was the first time Matthew had ever heard of a Juprus Blade—Nicholas hadn't told him about it before.

For a moment, he stayed silent, and when Brad noted his reaction, he asked, "Can't you take the Juprus Blade out?"

Matthew didn't reply. Not only could he not present the Juprus Blade, but he didn't even know what it looked like in the first place.

However, Brad had long guessed that Matthew wouldn't be able to present the Juprus Blade, so he continued, "The Juprus Blade has been missing for more than 20 years, and it disappeared alongside the last of Juprus in the previous generation.

"I heard that something huge happened back then, but I'm not sure of the details—I don't have the right to know either.

Matthew was put off by how secretive Brad was being and said, "Who are those people? What are you trying to say?"

After a bout of silence, Brad said, "I only know a little about them, but I've heard that they're the reason the Juprus' previous generation went into hiding."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. Brad then said, "Wait for a bit. I have to take this call."

Matthew hummed in agreement and sat by the side as he waited. Once Brad had answered the call, he let out a sudden shout after having heard a few words.

"What? Horace was rescued? Who were they? What do they do for a living?"

Matthew was shocked when he heard that. Horace was his sworn enemy, so if he were to let Horace go, it would be equal to releasing a tiger back into its mountain.

Brad was seething with anger and cursed back in reply before he hung up the call. He then looked at Matthew and said, "I'm sorry. I… I never thought this would happen."

Matthew glared at Brad with much fury and said, "You think apologizing would do you any good? You shouldn't have tried to stop me!"
