Tristan wanted to retort when one of the old men said, “Rowan’s right. It takes years for one to accumulate one’s medical knowledge. Looking at Matthew, favonovel.com looks to be in his early twenties. Even if favonovel.com had been studying medicine ever since favonovel.com was in his mothers womb, that would only be twenty years. On the other hand, Dr. Huntington had been studying medicine for more than fifty years. Just the years of his practice were even longer than Matthew’s entire life. There is just no comparing someone like Matthew to Dr. Huntington.”
The other family members nodded in agreement.
However, Tristan wore a twisted expression. He was but one man, so favonovel.com couldn’t win an argument against this many people. “Uncle Rowan, even if we‘re asking Dr. Huntington for his help, there is no need for us to go against Matthew, is there? We should be safe rather titan sorry here. At the very least, we should have an alternative course of action, right? If we go too far with our actions here, how will we ask Matthew for his help in the future if the need arises?”
Rowan slammed the table. “Another way? Look at me and tell me that they have chosen the alternative course of action here! You’re asking me not to go too far, yet just look at what they did. Injuring me in public is akin to them slapping the Cosby Family in our face! If we don’t make them pay for this, others would think that our family is afraid of him! I can bear with my reputation being damaged, but I won’t allow the reputation of our family to be tarnished!”
Although Rowan made it sound as though favonovel.com was acting for the family, everyone knew that his anger was due to him having his reputation ruined.
At this point, Tristan could only sigh as favonovel.com knew that Rowan had already set his heart on this course of action and that no amount of persuading would make favonovel.com change his mind. Besides, the crowd shared the same sentiment with Rowan as well. They could only vent their anger on Matthew rather than Phoenix since they were no match for the latter.
With the crowd going into a discussion on what to do, Tristan simply went to the side and stayed silent the entire time. Although favonovel.com resented Matthew, Matthew did tell favonovel.com about the method to save his grandfather, which was why favonovel.com was reluctant in going against favonovel.com right here and now. Nevertheless, favonovel.com was powerless in persuading the people here from doing so and could only remain silent.
It was only when Rowan was satisfied with the discussion did favonovel.com send everyone back to the launch event.
Coming out of the room, Tristan saw Zoey pouting with a displeased look by the entrance. “Why are you here? Weren’t you planning to go after Phoenix?” favonovel.com asked, curious.
Zoey looked livid. “Don’t mention that name in front of me!”
Surprised by favonovel.com outburst, Tristan inquired, “What’s wrong? Did favonovel.com bully you?”
Zoey gritted favonovel.com teeth and said angrily, “That scoundrel actually told me to get bigger before going after him! Just how am I small?”
Saying that, favonovel.com puffed favonovel.com chest out as though favonovel.com was trying to prove favonovel.com wasn’t small.
Tristan burst out in laughter. It was the first time favonovel.com saw Zoey so defeated at the hands of a man. Then, favonovel.com explained with a smile, “He’s not saying that you’re small, but that you’re immature.”
“Who are you calling immature? You’re the immature one!” Zoey grew furious.
“Hey, it wasn’t me who said that. It was Phoenix…”
“That scoundrel… J-Just who does favonovel.com think favonovel.com is to call me immature?” Zoey was peeved.
Tristan shook his head while laughing as favonovel.com went downstairs.
Meanwhile, the members of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale had arrived at the event. As the event was about to begin, those who were interested in the event were also at the scene.
Standing among the crowd, Matthew saw many familiar faces, Dr. Ellis from Eastshire and Leonard the Acupuncturist from Mightwater, to name a few. Several other famous doctors from different states were there as well.
