Jared said not a word. He got up and walked to the balcony, leaning against it to look downstairs with
his fingers gently rubbing on the white-marble windowsill. “Long time no see, Michael. You seem to be
putting on airs now,” Jared said. Michael wiped the sweat from his forehead and apologized repeatedly.
“I was on an inspection round downstairs. When I heard you were coming, I immediately came back.”
Constantly staying under Jared’s shadow, Michael became resentful of him. But he dared not show it in
front of Jared. Instead, he smiled and said, “But an emergent patient was suddenly brought in. I had to
attend to it. Otherwise, I’d never dare to make you wait, Mr. Johnston.”… Jared looked at his chubby
body and said coldly, “You’d better be.” He then let out a faint smile. “Let’s talk business now.” He

Jared looked at him with an icy look on his smiling face. “You must have known Benjamin’s condition,”
he said.
Mr. Riddle Sr. was the titular figure of the Riddle family. Michael was startled for two seconds before
replying, “Yes, I’ve examined him as soon as he was brought in. His condition isn’t looking good. The
surgery is risky with many uncontrollable variables.”
“Get your best doctor. How are the chances?” Jared asked, with no emotion in his eyes.
The best doctor under his command was now studying in the Yamenia, and it took last a day of travel
back. Besides, he would have to interrupt his study. As reluctant as Michael was, he had no choice but
to call the doctor back. “There is a sixty percent chance,” he said.
Jared frowned thoughtfully, as the sixty-percent chance was too low. “So much for the best doctor in
your hospital. You are keeping a bunch of useless people in the hospital. How about you retire early?”
Michael’s expression changed abruptly. He knew Jared meant what he said, and he quickly said, “I’ll
call Martin later and see what he says, maybe over sixty percent.”
Jared could tell that Michael was pretending. He sauntered up to Michael with a frosty face and looked
condescendingly at him. “That’s what San Joto Central Hospital is capable of? Not even one-hundred

Really?” he asked. He looked at Michael, said nothing further, and walked straight out of the CEO’s
office. “You’d better shape up, Michael,” Jared suddenly said as he left. Claus caught up with Jared.
Looking at Jared’s expressionless face, he asked softly, “Do you
want to…”
Jared did not look back at him but rubbed against the index finger of his right hand and said with a
languid, indifferent voice as usual, “I have no time for him. Contact Lloyd and ask him to come over to
Hustuaburg.” Claus whispered a yes. He then stepped aside, quickly dialed a number, and whispered
something in Esperian. But quickly, he raised his voice in surprise.
