Chapter 287
Matthew asked curiously, “What’s the n?”
Stanley only revealed it to him after some hesitation, “You can take part in the medical conference as
the representative of Eastcliff. However, this requires more effort from us because we have to convince
the Eastcliff Medical Association to support you to be the representative of the city.”
“I have no idea at all about the existence of such an organization in Eastcliff,” Matthew replied.
Stanley chuckled and imparted, “This organization has already been in existence for a very long time
and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is also one of its members. The organization used to be managed
by the Watkins Family, who used to be one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. However, ever
since the Watkins Family went through a bloodbath because of Master Newman, the organization has
been operating without a leader up until now. As the wealth and business owned by the Watkins Family
are shared by the other nine families, the Eastcliff Medical Association is considered to be co-managed
by the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. Therefore, if you want to gain the support from the
organization, you will have to convince all the Ten Greatest Families to support you too.”
Matthew put on a frown looking distressed because his rtionship with the Ten Greatest Families of
Eastcliff had not been too pleasant ever since what happened between him and the Jacksons. It might

be an uphill task trying to get the support from all of them at this juncture.
After pondering over it for some time, Matthew spoke in a solemn tone, “We have to give it a try in any
case. Please help me gather the people of the Ten Greatest Families, because I’d like to have a
discussion with them myself.”
Stanley nodded his head and agreed, “I’ll do that. But Mr. Larson, I hope you don’t expect too much
from this method because it’s highly unlikely to work. Every year, the Eastcliff Medical Association is
capable of raking in two to three billion of profit for the Ten Greatest Families. If they were to support
you, it means that they would have to set themselves against the Hughes Family. Furthermore, if the
Hughes Family decides to suspend the activity in the medical industry of Eastcliff, the one who will lose
all that profit is the Eastcliff Medical Association. I’m sure the Ten Greatest Families won’t be willing to
give up such a lucrative business!”
Right after Travis left the ballroom following the end of the banquet, Stanley immediately rushed off to
approach the masters of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. He gathered them in a big private room
and gave them an ount of Matthew’s intention.
As soon as he finished his statement, one of the masters snapped furiously, “Stanley Carlson, is there
something wrong with your mind? Do you want the Eastcliff Medical Association to make itself an
enemy to the Hughes Family? Do you have any idea that they are controlling the profit distribution in
the medical industry of Eastcliff? Once we make them angry, all our drugs and medical equipment
won’t be marketable in other cities! This is a business involving a revenue of over tens of billion and it
concerns the survival of the drug manufacturingpanies, medical equipmentpanies, medical
organizations and chinese herbspanies of various sizes in Eastcliff! Do you want all these
Stanley looked embarrassed because he understood very well what the consequences of the n was.
“Gentlemen,” he stressed at the top of his lungs, “I understand what all of you are thinking. But, have
you guys actually thought about the possibility of us emerging as the winner in the medical conference?
If we actually won, how much from the medical resources in the six states would be allocated to
Eastcliff? We will be talking about a business which is worth up to or more than several hundred billion
instead of only ten billion!”
Everyone inside the room roared withughter right after he said that.
“Stanley Carlson, I think it’s about time you book an appointment with a doctor. What actually
happened that turned you into a mad man? Winning at the medical conference? How are we going to
win? Are we going to rely on Mr. Larson here? Don’t you have any idea that the medical conference is
going to be participated by superb doctors from all the six states? Even Mr. Harrison, who has been
working closely with you, is just a nobody in the medical conference. What makes Matthew Larson
special?” one of the masters of the Ten Greatest Families challenged.
Stanley proimed determinedly through gritted teeth, “I believe in Mr. Larson’s medical skills! If he
gets to participate in the medical conference, I am sure he can bring us victory!”
Another master sneered, “You believe him? If I am not mistaken, he used to be just a toilet cleaner at
the hospital. Do you think he’s a prominent man who lives in seclusion? This ain’t no fairy tale!” His
remarks made everyone burst withughter once again.
