Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 2834 A Golden Opportunity To Influence

Whispers circulated among the crowd as Matthew concluded his speech. Soon, the guests divided into two factions. Most of the merchants were supportive, as the establishment of the Martial League would not hinder their business but rather provide them with a better environment.

However, many influential families displayed signs of concern. Although they controlled some sideline businesses, these ventures were not of significant scale. Most of their annual income relied on these enterprises. If the Martial League were to be revived, they would face restrictions, resulting in at least a 30 percent decrease in their annual profits.

Silence enveloped the scene for a prolonged period. Whether in agreement or opposition, no one dared to stand up and express their opinion, as no one wanted to be the first to take a stance. Matthew remained patient, quietly scanning the crowd with his eyes.

Without rules, there can be no fairness. Although I am an outsider, I must remind everyone that what you are facing now is only Matthew. Many things can be negotiated. If you wait until later, when the Martial League loses its patience and their forces intervene, there will be no room for negotiation."
