Oscar said, "There's a lowlife strutting around like he owns the place, and I can't stand it! So, I figured I'd ask you to swing by, Mr. Golding, and show this clown what real power looks like. Help me put some respect on my name, you feel me?"
Elon replied, "Alright, since you've served me well before, I'll come over!"
Oscar was overjoyed, grinning so wide his face almost twisted. "Great! I'll be at the hotel waiting for you, Mr. Golding! That little punk tried to steal my girl! Mr. Golding, don't hold back when you see him! I want him humiliated so bad he'll wish he never showed up!"
Elon scoffed. "Got it. Just showing up is enough to make anyone back off. Whatever effect you want, I'll make it happen!"
After hanging up, Oscar sneered, rubbing his hands together. He just needed Elon to show up, and his moment to shine would finally begin.
…
In the private room, they were well into the meal, with multiple rounds of drinks and various dishes served. When Oscar returned and saw the scene, his face turned green. He could not believe that no one bothered to call him.
The dishes were mostly leftovers, and the drinks were almost finished, leaving Oscar feeling both hungry and unsatisfied.
Meanwhile, Zephyr and Andrew were still engrossed in conversation.
"Mr. Lloyd, tomorrow is the highly anticipated Grand Medical Summit. We just arrived in Blumedale and aren't fully caught up on the news. Who are the frontrunners this time? Advanced Medical Institute? Mosby? Or maybe the Traditional Medicine Association?"
Andrew answered calmly, "From what I've gathered, it's a heated rivalry between Blumedale Hospital on one side, and Mosby and the Advanced Medical Institute on the other. These two sides are the most likely to come out on top!"
Zephyr sighed, "Those who can participate in the Grand Medical Summit are all top figures in the medical field. Any single one of them would have countless powers scrambling to build connections!"
Aspen suddenly chimed in, "You guys probably don't know this yet, but Mr. Lloyd is also attending the Grand Medical Summit."
