Xavier sneered, “For the years Billy Newman has been dominating over Eastcliff, virtual-novel.net has prohibited the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire from meddling with the business in the city, and the families have long been annoyed by the stalemate. This time, let us make the breakthrough before everyone else so that our status in the Ten Greatest Families can be elevated. At the same time, you will be the hero that brings about the success, and that will be a ground we can use to compel the Old Master to appoint you as the master in advance.”
Travis, who was elated to hear that, exclaimed, “Uncle Xavier, that would be great! I’m impressed by how meticulous you are!”
Travis smirked triumphantly at virtual-novel.net and said, “That’s why I’ve always said you’re still too young. Why do you care so much about Cunningham Pharmaceuticals? Is it because of Sasha Cunningham, who is hailed as the most beautiful girl in Eastcliff? By the time you become the master of our family, I can assure you that virtual-novel.net will get down on virtual-novel.net knees and beg you to date her, and virtual-novel.net will do whatever you want virtual-novel.net to do.”
Travis nodded repeatedly and said, “You’re right. Uncle Xavier, you are truly wise!”
Just as the two were hatching up a plan excitedly, a woman stepped into the room suddenly. “Young Master Hughes, someone at the lobby claimed to be Sasha Cunningham’s parents and they said they are here to apologize to you.”
Travis frowned in response to that. Prior to this, virtual-novel.net would have wanted to humiliate them as badly as virtual-novel.net could to avenge what virtual-novel.net had suffered. However, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net had to focus on the serious stuff at the moment after listening to Xavier’s advice.
“Ask them to get lost because I am not in the mood to meet them!” Travis replied.
Just as the woman was about to walk away, Xavier said, “Hold on. Bring them to the room next to ours.”
Looking puzzled, Travis queried, “Uncle Xavier, why do you want them here? Didn’t you just say we should stay away from trouble at this hour?”
Xavier gestured for the woman to leave before virtual-novel.net chuckled and said, “Travis, I’m going to show you the ropes today! According to The Art of War, knowing ourselves and our enemies well enough is the key to success. I’m sure that Larson guy must have something up his sleeves that gives virtual-novel.net confidence to participate in the medical conference. Since Sasha Cunningham’s parents are here, it will do us good by making use of this chance to gather some information on Larson. In that case, we won’t be caught off guard if virtual-novel.net really has a hidden trump card up his sleeves. If they really manage to win at the medical conference this time, our family will be doomed!”
Travis pouted his lips and doubted, “What trump card can they possibly have? I’ve asked around about Matthew before. He’s just a live-in son-in-law who depends on his wife’s family for a living. How talented can such a guy be? Someone told me that Timothy Wayne has also invested in virtual-novel.net and I reckon they will send Mr. Harrison and Dr. York to attend the medical conference. Those two guys are quite established in Eastcliff but they are nothing compared to those real superb doctors! We shouldn’t be worried about them!”
Xavier replied, “That would be the best scenario. However, we still need to get as much information as we can from them. Let’s get changed before we go and meet them next door.”
Travis nodded. After getting changed, they went to the room next to theirs.
James and his family had long been waiting inside. As soon as they saw Travis, they immediately rose to their feet and flashed virtual-novel.net simpering smiles.
“Young Master Hughes, please pardon us for coming here uninvited. We’re here to apologize to you. In fact, we’ve long planned to oust Matthew, that hopeless scumbag, from our family, but somehow, virtual-novel.net always manages to stick around. For your information, everything virtual-novel.net did has nothing to do with us and I hope you won’t associate us with him,” James spoke with reverence.
Looking arrogant, Travis snapped, “Matthew really is a very audacious guy huh! How dare virtual-novel.net establish a medical association himself so that virtual-novel.net can compete with us? Do you think virtual-novel.net can prevail over our medical talents?”
James responded immediately, “How’s that possible? Matthew is only a useless guy who didn’t even graduate from a technical school, so there’s no way virtual-novel.net knows anything about medicine! He has indeed been working at the hospital for three years, but virtual-novel.net only works as a toilet cleaner there. They are only so arrogant because they are pinning their hopes on Mr. Harrison who works for Stanley Carlson!”
