Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3515

When Matthew returned to the grass clearing, he lay back down.

"Mack, how has the Veiled Assembly been doing lately?"

"Huh?"

Mack froze at Matthew's sudden question, looking utterly baffled.

Matthew gave him a wry smile, wondering why he'd hoped to get an answer from Mack.

At that, he shifted his gaze to Tertius, who was still trapped in Mack's hold. Tertius swatted at Mack's arm indignantly, clearly annoyed that he couldn't speak freely.

"The Veiled Assembly has seen a 30% increase in per capita GDP recently. We've also implemented benefits like full insurance coverage and retirement plans. Everyone gets three meals a day—meat included—and plenty of comfortable work uniforms," Tertius summed up the impressive progress.

"Good. How's the construction of the new dock coming along?"

"The foundation's being laid now," Mack answered.

Building a dock of this magnitude was no small feat. Even with the main supply chain issues resolved, constructing such a massive structure still required significant time and effort.

"Starting tomorrow, reassign a team from the Veiled Assembly to work on it," Matthew instructed. "We'll implement two shifts to speed up construction. The dock is a priority."

Both Mack and Tertius nodded solemnly, taking Matthew's words to heart.

Allyson, sitting at a distance, noticed the serious discussion and decided to walk over. She stopped nearby, curious to hear what was being discussed.

"Allyson," Matthew called, turning to her. "How many prisoners are currently in the detention center?"

Allyson blinked, caught off guard by the question, but quickly answered, "Over 900."

Matthew's expression turned icy. For Larch Island to develop rapidly, he knew a message needed to be sent—one of fear and deterrence.

"Investigate their backgrounds," he ordered coldly. "Those who were already criminals before arriving here—prepare to execute them. Publicly. Tomorrow evening, find a suitable location at the island's center, somewhere with good drainage." His gaze was sharp, his tone unrelenting. "All of them… beheaded for all to see."

Allyson and Mack exchanged uneasy glances but remained silent. They trusted that Matthew had his reasons for taking such a drastic step.
