Chapter 403

Ted couldn't quite explain it, but something about how brutal Matthew was scared him to his core.

Matthew couldn't care less about Ted's identity or background. No matter who Ted's parents or uncle were, he would lash out the moment he got upset. That was what made him so terrifying. Matthew coldly asked, "Who sent you to buy the medical literature from Renae?"

Taken aback, Ted exclaimed, "How do you know I was told to buy it?"

After Ted asked the question, Matthew's expression darkened, and his gaze turned even colder.

Upon seeing this, Ted hurriedly added, "It was a woman named Haley. I bumped into her at my friend's party in the bar. She mentioned that she had spent some time studying in Eastoria. "She works at an international library now, and her job is to collect books from around the world, particularly medical literature. Some of them are worth millions, or even billions, of dollars.

"I was desperate for money, so I asked for more details. She told me Renae had a medical book passed down in her family and that she tried to get it but failed. She promised to pay me 100 million dollars if I could get it for her." Haley? Matthew had no idea who Haley was, but he knew for certain that she worked for Eastorians.

After a pause, he instructed, "Tell her you have the book and arrange a meeting with her. Ask her to bring the cash, and you'll bring the item."

Ted was in so much pain that he trembled nonstop. "Can you call 911 for me? My leg's killing me, and I can't take it anymore. I—"

Matthew raised the baseball bat again after just putting it down. Upon seeing this, Ted quickly cried out in fear, "I'll contact her right way! I swear!" With trembling hands, Ted pulled out his phone and fiddled with it. Then, he handed his phone to Matthew.

"Haley gave me an address and asked me to deliver the book there."

Matthew glanced at the phone and realized they'd be meeting at a spa. "What's your phone password? I'm taking it with me to find her."
