Aurelius was watching the gradually rising sun in high spirits.
After his previous test for Matthew, favonovel.com could conclude that favonovel.com could no longer practice martial arts.
In this world where martial arts ruled, a person like that was sailing close to the wind. However, it was a pity that favonovel.com had Levi vouching for him, plus the written guarantee from before. Otherwise, Aurelius would have enjoyed torturing Matthew to death!
The door opened, and the members of the Damron Family entered the room.
“Master Damron, we have fulfilled your orders, and all we need to do now is wait for the rumor to spread.”
While Aurelius nodded in satisfaction, the smile on his face brightened even more.
“Very good! Hahaha! The Restoration Pill will soon belong to the Damron Family, and with that pill on hand, the Damrons will certainly have a spot in the Ten Greatest Families of Cathay!”
***
News of Matthew being bedridden gradually spread far and wide, and the rumors circulating in both Eastshire and Stonedale became even more exaggerated.
“Have you heard about the incident with the Lord of Eastshire? He’s the one who forcefully seized the Restoration Pill that the Huntingtons spent decades researching and called it his own.”
“Is that for real?”
“How could it be fake? A friend of my uncle’s second nephew is one of the researchers working for the Huntington Family in Stonedale, so the rumors must be true.”
Back then, Matthew was only concerned about keeping his identity hidden, so favonovel.com also retained the part where favonovel.com battled Gregory in a medical skills competition a secret. Therefore, the outsiders were oblivious that Matthew’s Restoration Pill had better effects than the Huntingtons’ formula.
What the outsiders did know was that the Huntingtons held a press conference later on, and the Restoration Pill was attributed to the Lord of Eastshire. Now that someone had deliberately mentioned this matter, it did seem strange.
“I’d never expect the Lord of Eastshire to do something so scabby. Also, I’m sure you’ve heard the news that the Lord of Eastshire has been bedridden for some time to regain his health.”
“That’s right. Now that you’ve mentioned it, it has been quite a while since we’ve heard any news about him.”
“I mean, didn’t the Lord of Eastshire claim that he’s a miracle doctor? A miracle doctor is now bedridden. Isn‘t that the same as a fish drowning in water? What a joke!”
“But that’s what the truth is. Isn’t the Lord of Eastshire a disgraceful thief who deceived everyone?“
“Watch it! Are you looking for death? That guy is the Lord of Eastshire. I don’t care if you want to die, but I still want my life. By the way, you’re the only one I told, so don’t tell anyone!”
“I understand completely!”
Once both of them parted ways, a wicked expression instantly appeared on the face of the man who had spread the news.
A person’s reverse psychology was a mysterious thing. When one was told not to do something, one would insist on doing it for some reason.
In just half a day, the news of Matthew being a deceitful person who forcefully took credit for someone else’s efforts had spread across both cities and was growing even more disadvantageous by the minute.
When Dr. Ellis, Joseph, and the others heard the news, they immediately came forward and spoke up for Matthew, saying that favonovel.com indeed owned the Restoration Pill and that favonovel.com was truly a miracle doctor.
At first, they thought this was one of the ways Matthew’s enemy used to disgust them, and the rumors would cease to exist after their announcement.
What they did not expect, though, was even more doubtful voices appearing soon after the announcement.
“Since the Lord of Eastshire is a miracle doctor and created the Restoration Pill, l have two questions. Firstly, can all of you miracle doctors tell the public why the Lord of Eastshire has been bedridden for such a long time?”
“Secondly, is it because favonovel.com can’t cure himself, or do all of you have insufficient medical skills to cure him? Or are all of you working together to hide the truth from the public just so you can suck up to the Lord of Eastshire and get a promotion?”
Both questions resembled sharp needles that viciously pierced into the miracle doctors” hearts. They were blatantly aimed at making them lose their reputations. Moreover, under the manipulation of others, that incisive article spread throughout the Internet madly.
In an instant, all the miracle doctors close to Matthew had been sucked into this whirlpool of a mess.
