Chapter 369
The conference started as scheduled. All the representatives from the six southern states entered the venue, including Matthew and Dr. Ellis. Dr. Ellis then led Matthew to the first row of seats and sat down, and beside them were other famous doctors from other states.
The venue wasn’t big and there weren’t many people who could enter. Only representatives were allowed to enter and even so, taking the Eastshire representatives for example, only a dozen from the group were granted access.
Even though there were many investors at the scene, most of them couldn’t enter the venue as well, excluding Travis and a few famous doctors.
Not long after they sat down, they heard a commotion at the entrance. Everybody turned around to see what was happening and saw the security guards being pushed away by a group of aggressive people.
Then, the seats near the entrance were taken away and the people who sat there were also chased away. They wanted to fight back but were forcefully held down by the group of aggressive men.
Following that, the group of men divided themselves into two rows and stood at each side respectfully, as if they were waiting for someone. Seeing this, everybody was even more surprised.
Who can it be? Why does he or she need such a grand entrance? Under the eyes of the crowd, an arrogant elderly with white hair and white beard entered the venue. He was wearing a shining tuxedo and as his stern gaze looked around the room, there was a hint of disgust on his face.
“Is that Leonard the acupuncturist?!”
“Why is he here?”
“This is the Six Southern States Medical Conference and he is from Mightwater, so why is he here?”
“Could… Could it be that a representative group hired him for help?”
“Oh my! Which state hired Leonard? Are they crazy? Imagine how much they have to pay!”
Among the heated discussion, Travis directly stood up and walked toward the entrance excitedly.
“Uncle Leonard, welcome. Welcome!” Travis reached out to shake Leonard’s hand from a distance.
However, Leonard only glanced at him with a disgusted expression and didn’t shake his hand. Instead, he coldly asked, “Is your grandfather not here?”
Travis was slightly embarrassed but he didn’t dare to throw a temper. After all, Leonard’s status was much higher than his grandfather’s!
With a smile, Travis replied, “Uncle Leonard, I’m sorry but my grandfather hasn’t been feeling well so he’s staying home for recovery.
He won’t be coming to the competition but he repeatedly instructed me to serve you well. He said that your medical skills are the strongest that he has ever seen in his life and he even asked me to learn from you!”
Hearing this, Leonard seemed to be pleased. “Your grandfather sure has good taste. Since you’re so sincere, stay by my side later and I’ll show you my medical skills!”
Travis was overjoyed to hear this. “Thank you, Uncle Leonard! Oh, please take a seat!”
Leonard nodded and followed Travis all the way to the first row. His gaze only swept across the other so- called famous doctors but landed on Dr. Ellis. “Dr. Ellis, I see that you’re here early.
However, you’ve done the right thing. After all, the slow learner has to start early!” As Leonard spoke, he turned to look at his group of apprentices and said, “All of you can learn something from Dr. Ellis! Even though his medical skills suck, at least his passion is admirable.”
Leonard’s group of apprentices laughed and nodded as they looked at Dr. Ellis mockingly. Meanwhile, Dr. Ellis looked extremely upset but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He had competed with Leonard in the past and lost all three out of three rounds so he had nothing to say. However, after hearing this, Matthew frowned. This man sure is arrogant.
Leonard walked over to the side and sat down. Then, he smiled and said, “Dr. Ellis, later when it’s your turn to get onstage, let me know if there’s something you need help with.
After all, since Eastshire invited me over, it is my duty to help. There’s no need for you to be embarrassed to ask me for help. Otherwise, if Eastshire loses the competition because of you, it’s none of my business!”
