Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 3286 A Hundred Strokes

Even as the officials were dragged out, those with clean records walked out with smiles on their faces-some even strolled out on their own. But the ones with dirty hands were pale, needing to be dragged out like dead weight. Matthew approached Fiorenna, who stood there helplessly, and spoke gently, "Princess Fiorenna, don't worry. Gadel will be okay."

Fiorenna tried to hold back her tears, though a few slipped out. She quickly regained her composure. "Thank you, Matthew."

Matthew gave her a reassuring smile and shook his head. "Your Highness, you don't need to thank me. I'll take care of things here in Montiria until Gadel returns."

Gratitude filled Fiorenna's eyes. Despite her noble status, she was still just a woman unprepared to face such political turmoil. She had been completely overwhelmed by the officials and their schemes.

As Fiorenna left with her child, Matthew casually sat down on the palace steps. Outside, the sound of screams from the officials receiving their punishment filled the air. Matthew, seemingly unfazed, pulled out some nuts from his pocket and started cracking them open. Amid the chaos, the calm was only interrupted by the screams and the soft sound of Matthew munching. Soon, the captain of the guard approached him and reported, "Prime Regent, all the officials have been punished."

The captain read from his list, "Fifty-four received twenty strokes. Twenty-four fainted, and the remaining thirty can no longer move."
