Chapter 286


    At seven at night, members of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff arrived at the ninth floor of Times


    Hotel to wee the sessor to the Hughes Family who came from Eastshire. As the representative


    of Billy, Stanley attended the function together with Matthew. All of them waited for a while before they


    heard amotioning from outside.


    Shortly after that, a group of people flourishly strode into the ballroom. The group was led by a young


    man who was wearing a gold-rimmed spectacle. His manner was decorous but there was an


    indescribable air of brutality concealed deep in his eyes. He was none other than the sessor to the


    Hughes Family—Travis Hughes.


    Everyone of the Ten Greatest Families walked over to greet him, but Travis couldn’t even be bothered


    to nce at them as he headed straight toward the private room deeper inside the ballroom.


    Despite feeling slightly embarrassed, those people did not voice out their annoyance. After all, the Ten


    Greatest Families of Eastshire were way more superior than the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff in


    terms of their power and wealth.


    Stanley brought Matthew to the private room where he greeted Travis and introduced Matthew to him.


    “Young Master Hughes, Mr. Larson here is a man with unparalleled medical skills. If he represents


    Eastshire to take part in the medical conference, I’m sure we will be able to seize the victory this time!”


    Travis put down the ss of wine he was holding to glimpse at Matthew. The corners of his mouth


    curled up briefly with a trace of contempt before he remarked, “Stanley Carlson, why have you been


    living your life in a backward manner all these years? How dare you im this youngd as a superb


    doctor? Is there something wrong with your mind or are you trying to fool my family?”


    Looking slightly affronted, Stanley exined, “Young Master Hughes, you’ve misunderstood me. Mr.


    Larson is a man with the best medical skills I have evere across in my entire life. Several superb


    doctors in Eastcliff are all blown away by his talent…”


    Travis waved his hands dismissively at him and snapped, “That’s because there aren’t many talents in


    Eastcliff! When the cat’s away, the mice will y. How dare you rmend some nobody to me as the


    candidate to participate in the medical conference?! Stanley Carlson, I merely allowed you toe


    here and talk to me for Mr. Newman’s sake, but you actually brought such a man here to humiliate me.


    Do you think my family are just a bunch of pushovers?”


    Matthew frowned, annoyed by how presumptuous Travis was. “Young Master Hughes, how can you be


    sure that I have no talent without having witnessed my medical skills?” he quizzed.


    Travis nced at him and put on a frown as he responded, “There’s no need to verify it! I can be sure


    because I was born in a family which has produced generations of talents in the medical field. There’s


    no shortcut in the path leading to exceptional medical skills, where one can only be a superb doctor

    through years of experience. I only manage to have the skills I’m having now because I’ve started


    learning medicine ever since I was little. Who do you think you are? Could your medical skills possibly


    be more exceptional than mine? Only idiots like Stanley will believe you, but you’re just too young to


    deceive my family and I!”


    Stanley, who was irritated by hisment, spoke, “Young Master Hughes, we can get a better idea of


    Mr. Larson’s medical skills just by giving him a test. I’m afraid the way you judge Mr. Larson’s talent


    might not be thorough enough.”


    Looking sullen, Travis confronted Stanley, “Are you trying to show me the way of doing things? Do you


    really think you can behave so arrogantly because you have Mr. Newman behind your back? Mind you,


    I am respectful of Mr. Newman but you aren’t him! Get out of here and don’t spoil my mood!”


    Stanley was so enraged by what he said that his fists were clenched tightly. Despite that, he was not


    audacious enough to start an argument with Travis, the sessor to the family business who enjoyed


    a very respectable status in his family. If the dispute escted, Stanley did not suppose Billy would


    have a feud with the Hughes just to protect him.


    Right after they left the private room, Stanleynded a forceful punch on a wall to vent his frustration


    and cursed through gritted teeth, “I’ve long heard about how snobbish and arrogant that spoiled brat is,


    but I’ve never thought that he is actually this cocky!”


    As for Matthew, he put on a frown and queried, “Is there another way for me to participate in the


    medical conference, since the Hughes aren’t agreeing to help us?”


    After a moment of contemtion, Stanley stated, “There is another way to go about this but once we


    use this n, we might make ourselves the arch rivals of the Hughes in the future!”
