Chapter 2128 Events of the Past, and Matthew's Breakthrough
Unfortunately, Matthew was quickly growing fatigued after exchanging a hundred moves.
He knew that he was no match for the masked men, so he attempted to create sdistance between them
once more.
He held his sword in one hand, and his nimbus surged violently.
"Be careful, this move is powerful enough to kill a grandmaster."
During their battle earlier, he soon realized that the masked man was far superior to him in terms of strength.
It was just that his opponent had been holding back throughout the battle. Otherwise, he would have been
defeated a long tago.
It was also for that reason he deliberately warned his opponent in advance.
When the words left Matthew's mouth, the masked man becserious.
The aura around his body quivered, causing the fallen leaves around him to be pushed away from him.
In the blink of an eye, a vacuum was formed around the area under his feet.

Matthew unleashed his ultimate move at the stime-Sword Break!
The masked man immediately dodged to the side, seemingly able to perceive the danger behind such a move.
A three-foot-long sword slash appeared at the spot where he was standing earlier.
It was not until this moment that he opened his mouth to speak.
"Not bad, brat. It's been a while since we last met, but your strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
Then, the masked man slowly removed his mask while he spoke.
Matthew instantly beamed with joy upon seeing the other party's true appearance.
"Long tno see, Uncle Billy."
The two men chatted for a long tunder the moonlight, but their conversation only revolved around various
trivial matters.
There was an underlying sea of blood and grudges between them. Be that as it may, they did not mention these
matters.
Billy sighed softly as he turned his gaze at the bright silvery moon.
"Chaos is about to sweep across the world once more. You should pay more attention to your safety. In addition,
you should keep in mind that the forces in Bainbridge are very intertwined. You have to think twice before you
act."
Chaos in the world? That was the second tMatthew heard about this matter.
At this point, he couldn't be bothered to restrain his curiosity any longer as he blurted out the question, "Uncle
Billy, what is the chaos that will sweep across the world? What is the cause for the chaos?" Billy shook his head.
"| can't say for certain. It's just that someone has been stirring up various troubles throughout the world since
the end of the great war in the South. This mastermind might be an influential family or an enormous
organization, but they have gradually revealed themselves ever since you appeared in Bainbridge.
Unfortunately, | can't tell you anything else because there are too many secrets involved." Matthew could no
longer repress the doubts that had been suppressed in his heart. "Uncle Billy, is the great war in the South
related to the extermination of the Larsons in the Northern Territory?" Billy froze for a moment when he heard
the question. In the end, he nodded after a brief pause.
"Indeed. The extermination of the Larsons in the Northern Territory was just the beginning. Rumors were floating
around back then, claiming that the Larson Family's treasure had been smuggled to the South. It was the reason
why the war broke out in the first place. Various other factors have confirmed this speculation. It would seem
that somebody had attempted to use the Larson Family's treasure to completely disrupt the state of affairs in
Cathay back then."
Afterward, the atmosphere sank into silence again.
Matthew guessed that the Larson Family's treasure might be the Holy Doctor Christopher Larson's legacy in
terms of medical skills. However, the truth was obvious after the massacre. The rumored Larson Family's
treasure was fake. It might be more accurate to say that the treasure had never even existed before. It was

The silence stretched out for stand Billy rose to his feet.
"Anyway, you've heard about the re-election of the Martial League, right? Here, this is a letter of
recommendation. With this, you will only need to register yourself when the tcomes." Matthew understood
the significance of the letter of recommendation after listening to his explanation. Those holding similar letters of
recommendation were the seeded participants of the Martial League. "Regarding the Larson Family incident... |
hope you do not bear a grudge against the Martial League. The incident back then occurred because somebody
had intentionally blindfolded the eyes of the Martial League, which caused the flow of information to be delayed.
Most of the suspects were also punished by the Martial League after that. In addition, you should not be too
obsessed with the truth behind that bloodbath. Once you're strong enough, the truth will eventually be revealed
to you. Work hard and be careful. Well then, I'll be going now."
Then, Billy left the area in a flash.
Matthew was the only one left standing frozen in place.
"As long as | am strong enough? It turns out that | have been going in the wrong direction all along. Instead of
being obsessed with learning the truth, | should have been strengthening myself." Following those words, the
surrounding wind gradually picked up.
The shackles surrounding his heart abruptly shattered like glass, and his nimbus overflowed into the
surroundings.
A long while passed before the surroundings becquiet once more. He had successfully achieved the half-
step grandmaster level!
