How could it be?!
Jason couldn’t comprehend why the wealthy and elegant lady would condescend to Joe the deadbeat moocher! Hence, he cleared his throat and blurted out of surprise, “Miss Moore, why do you call him Master Smith? He’s just a deadbeat loser, have you mistaken him for someone else?”
Jasmine’s face darkened and she chided, “Shut up! How dare you question Master Smith?!”
Graham, who was standing beside her, sneered coldly, and said, “Master Smith is the only true dragon in the entire world with unimaginable power and strength. How could we have mistaken him for someone else?!”
Zeke added, “That’s right! Master Smith is highly respected and honorable in Aurous Hill, who do you think you are to address him by his first name, you bastard?!”
Don Albert shot Jason an intimidating glare and said, “Master Smith is our leader, your disrespect to him is equivalent to making us your enemies. If you dare blurt a single nonsensical statement again, I’ll break your leg!”
Jason’s face turned green and blue as the VIPs chided him continuously, shocked and speechless.
At this moment, Anthony yelled coldly, “Come here, Joshua Lynch!”
Joshua shuddered in astonishment when his name was called.
Others might not know it, but he knew very clearly whether his magical elixir had cured Anthony’s illness. He could still deceive them earlier, but now that the real man was here, his bluff would be exposed!
Nevertheless, he stepped forward with his head hanging low and greeted, “Master Simmons.”
Anthony rebuked angrily, “I heard you say that you cured my illness with that pill in your hand, is that true?”
Joshua started frantically, “I’m sorry, Master Simmons. I was just talking nonsense and bragging about something I didn’t do, please forgive me…”
Actually, Joshua knew full well that after he had sold the pill to Anthony, he did state that the pill was quite powerful and that it had relieved his injuries very well, but it was not so miraculous as to heal it completely. Earlier, he was simply bragging to boast about the pill’s effect, but he had never expected to see Anthony appear right in front of him.
He was extremely nervous and edgy as the majestic Anthony stood in front of him. Though he was regarded as a well-known Chinese medicine doctor, he paled in comparison to Anthony, who was the president of the Chinese Medicine Association. If he offended him, his license as a Chinese medicine doctor could be revoked.
All his hard work in his whole life would go down the drain by then…
Anthony didn’t want to forgive Joshua so easily. He shouted at him coldly, “You’ve insulted Master Smith, apologize to him right now!”
Joshua felt annoyed by Anthony’s demand. Why? Why did he have to apologize to that loser? Even if he bragged about his ability, it didn’t mean that he was worse than Joe!
He pursed his lips in agitation and said, “Master Simmons, I admit that I did lie about your part, but that Smith dude was talking nonsense. He insulted my drug, so why should I apologize to him?”
A layer of furious gloom covered Anthony’s face. He dragged Joshua aside and chided, “You fool! Do you know who made the pill you’re holding? It was Master Smith’s work! How dare you show off your skill before an expert? Idiot!”
“What?” Joshua cried out in disbelief, “Joe Smith made this pill?”
Anthony said coldly, “Frankly, Master Smith refined a more effective and powerful magical elixir a few days ago. My old injuries were fully cured by his magical pill! How dare you question him?!”
Joshua shuddered in jittery, sweat drenching his forehead. He quickly explained, “Master Simmons, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know that Master Smith was the one who refined this pill. I wouldn’t have done what I did if I had known it…”
Before he could finish, Anthony interjected furiously, “It’s too late! After this, I’ll suggest to the health department that they permanently revoke your medical license!”
Blood drained Joshua’s face as he listened to Anthony’s announcement. Cold sweat drenched his body and he started shaking in panic and fear.
Then, he regained his composure, knelt in front of Joe with a loud thump, and pleaded as he wailed, “Master Smith, please, I’m sorry, please accept my apology! Yes, I lied to everyone! I didn’t make that pill, I simply bought it. I didn’t even know if it’s able to cure quadriplegics, I just took it out to fool you… Please, please, I’m sorry for looking down on you and for offending you, please forgive me!”
Kneeling on the floor, he slapped himself and apologized profusely. Tears covered his face, body, and the floor…
Elaine and Claire watched the situation unfolding with a stunned expression, while Jason was even more shocked and bewildered.
Elaine expected the genius doctor to treat her husband, but who would have thought that he would apologize to Joe, admitting that he was fooling them with the magical drug…
Jason’s face turned green in anger and embarrassment. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling that his entire reputation was being stampeded and humiliated by Joe. However, he refused to believe that Joe was as powerful as these people claimed and he was unwilling to admit defeat to the loser.
Unexpectedly, Don Albert suddenly sneered at him and asked Joe, “Master Smith, what should I do with this Grant kid?”
He didn’t dare to make his own decision in front of Joe, or he would have attacked Jason immediately for his rude attitude towards Joe.
Joe said flatly, “It’s up to you.”
Don Albert grinned viciously upon Joe’s remark, but before he could summon his men to move, Graham frowned in agitation and asked, “Wait, I heard from Luke Marshall that you caused a scene at the auto show yesterday and offended Master Smith, didn’t you?”
“Huh? No, I…I didn’t…I…” Jason stuttered, panicked and frantic.
Although he was on the losing side yesterday, he did invite trouble for himself by provoking Joe. From the looks of it, they wanted to settle two scores together.
Don Albert laughed coldly and said, “Alright then, it seems you were messing with Master Smith yesterday, you blind dog! Okay, I’ll let you know the price to pay for offending Master Smith!”
He summoned his men and said, “Guys, throw this ignorant bastard out the window now!”
