Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 3340 The Ultimate Gamble

Glaucus fell silent as he stared at Calbhach. Even though anger bubbled inside him, confronting Calbhach felt like striking a wall of fluff. He glanced around at the heads of the different families in the room, and tiredness crept onto his face.

"Alright, folks. We're down to our last option," he stated, his voice heavy with reluctance.

His mind raced. I wouldn't even think about it if it weren't for our stalemate. Matthew's got control over the staff and One, and now he's got the intruders Calbhach sent, too. All the dirt that could land me and the others in serious trouble is safely in his hands. I'm cornered with no way out.

Feeling the weight of the situation, Glaucus made his choice. He looked out toward the rear hills of the Mirren Estate, where Pontus, the family head, was holed up. Before retreating into isolation, Pontus had informed Glaucus that they could go to the tunnel behind the estate to find him if a serious issue arose with the Mirren Family or the Martial League.

Now, the situation was spiraling out of Glaucus' control.

"I'm going to the rear hills to wake Pontus. This is our only shot," he declared. He paused momentarily, then continued, "Before I go, I expect all of you to stay put. Don't move even if Matthew barges in and holds a blade to your throat!"
