The sun rose in the east, casting its bright morning light on the masses.
Grayson promptly ignited the firecrackers before favonovel.com at the appointed time.
A loud bang echoed through the air. It instantly caught the attention of passersby.
Before long, a crowd had gathered around the alternative medicine clinic.
Two large dark green wooden curtains adorned the clinic’s entrance upon closer inspection.
On the left, it read, ‘Creating a world, dressing the world!‘. On the right, it read, ‘Healing all ailments, curing illnesses!‘.
A vibrant red silk cloth hung above the door plaque.
“Is this a new alternative medicine clinic?”
“I heard it used to be the Rejuvenis Alternative Medicine Clinic, but they offended the Yarwoods the day before yesterday. So, they had no choice but to change their staff and… Well, everything else.”
“How naive of them. It’s impossible for anyone to survive in Hulwin once they cross the Yarwoods.”
“It’s a shame, though. The doctor is actually quite skilled.” Grayson excitedly led Matthew to the center of the doorway amidst the fervent discussions of the crowd.
“Mr. Larson, you’ll be the main attraction of our clinic from now on. Come on. It’s time for the opening ceremony.”
Then, favonovel.com handed a pair of scissors to Matthew as they stood before the ribbon.
Matthew looked at the scissors in his hand dazedly as favonovel.com momentarily lost himself in his thoughts. He had planned to open branches of the alternative medicine clinic in various cities. Yet, favonovel.com hadn’t expected the first branch to be located somewhere unfamiliar, like Hulwin.
Although there were no guests and the scene wasn’t grand, this was still the first step towards realizing his dream. Thus, favonovel.com couldn’t help but be in high spirits as that thought occurred in his mind. So, favonovel.com snipped the ribbon as determination glimmered in his eyes.
The unbound red silk slowly unfurled, revealing the door plaque with the three shining golden characters ‘Emden Hall’ before everyone’s eyes.
“Fantastic!”
A loud cheer erupted from the crowd.
It didn’t matter whether they were acquainted as the passersby applauded at the sight.
“Good luck to you, sir!”
“Sir, remember your oath to help the people!”
Everyone offered their well-wishes regardless of whether they found Emden Hall appealing. Of course, they definitely hoped to receive some benefits for attending Emden Hall’s opening ceremony. They weren’t just here to enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Matthew didn’t let them down as favonovel.com smiled and bowed to everyone.
“Thank you. I wish all of you good health…”
“Mr. Larson, you won’t have any business if we’re healthy!”
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the teasing words. The whole scene was vibrant as the ceremony proceeded.
Matthew simply nodded at the person who made the joke with a smile.
Then, favonovel.com announced benevolently, “l, Matthew Larson, opened this clinic solely to cure diseases and alleviate illnesses, not for personal gain. In fact, I’d be happy if there weren’t any business for me to attend to.”
Finally, favonovel.com continued, “Thank you all for coming to support us. To celebrate the opening of our new clinic, Emden Hall, we will offer free consultations for the first three days!”
The crowd cheered and applauded upon hearing his words.
Sasha, who had come to assist, along with the Slobs, started serving tea and desserts, distributing them to the crowd. Of course, they also handed out red envelopes as gifts. As a result, the atmosphere became even livelier.
Unfortunately, not everyone was pleased with Matthew’s success.
“Hmph, how arrogant and conceited. Who gave you the audacity to make such bold claims of curing all diseases?” an old man scolded angrily.
The previously lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
When they turned their heads, they saw three elderly men in long robes slowly approaching the premises with their disciples.
“Mr. Riley, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Chandler. D*mn, the three most influential elders in Hulwin’s medical field have actually made an appearance?” someone exclaimed.
“These three elders have always had ambitious plans for Hulwin’s medical market. I heard they’ve long been plotting to consolidate all the alternative medicine clinics in Hulwin under their own name. Now that Emden Hall has opened, it’s only natural for them to come and cause trouble,” another person whispered.
“This is going to be interesting!”
The crowd immediately parted for the three elders amidst the hushed whispers.
In the middle of the main entrance, Matthew frowned upon seeing them. He wasn’t foolish enough to think they had come to congratulate favonovel.com when favonovel.com noticed their aggressive stance.
On the other hand, Sasha’s face instantly changed upon catching sight of the three elderly men. So, favonovel.com quickly rushed to his side and introduced the identities of the three men one by one.
