Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 3412 Investing in a Factory

After their brief introductions, the middle-aged lawyer asked, "So, what can I help you with?"

Instead of answering, Matthew studied him for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zoller, what did you do that landed you here?"

He glanced at a stash of emergency rations tucked away in the corner, indicating that the lawyer wasn't living comfortably. Tertius' face twisted into a bitter smile. "Since you asked, I'll tell you.

It was a world painted in grim shades of gray, and that was why Tertius kept his head down and stayed vigilant every day.
