âGrandpa, whatâs wrong? Why are you so angry?â
Cheryl asked as she grabbed Jamesâs arms. Her grandfather had always been amiable from her
childhood to adulthood. He had never argued with anyone. It was for the first time that she saw him
going red in the face and arguing with someone like this, he even wanted to start a fight.
Jamesâs narrow escape last time had made her experience quite the shock already.
He must not get angry at such an old age, lest any harm would befall him.
Jamesâs forehead started sweating from rage. Just as he was about to say something after seeing his
granddaughter, he suddenly noticed Alex was also next to her. His expression immediately eased, he
said with an extremely affectionate smile, âAlex, youâre here too! This is really great, what an honor!â
Upon hearing this, Phoebe was shocked, she couldnât believe this at all.
A while ago, Cheryl had told her that her grandfather held Alex in high esteem.
However, Phoebe refused to believe this one bit. She just figured that her best friend was really
considerate. In order to highlight her boyfriendâs status, she even used her grandfather. However,
Cheryl might have told the truth after looking at the current situation.
However, how could this be?
As a doctor herself, she knew that doctors were very particular about qualifications and experience.
Perhaps, Alex looked younger than her. How could the medical skills of such a young man be better
than James Coney.
It did not make sense at all. She just labelled him as a fraud when he used seven minutes to heal her
ankle that day.
At this moment, the other old man, who argued with James earlier, saw him actually ditched him and
went to greet a young man with such respect, he immediately cackled disdainfully and said, âOld
James, I think you really are evolving backwards! Even a young brat could make you act humbly,
whereâs your old pride gone? Itâd only bring shame to Ganoderma for an old thing like you to occupy it.
Itâs better for you to hand it over.â
Both Alex and Cheryl froze.
Alex asked James, âOld man, who is this old fart? He actually opened his mouth and demanded
Ganoderma?â
Before James could open his mouth, that old man said cockily, âWho are you calling old fart, you brat?
Did your parents not teach you to be polite to your elders? Iâm Darven Mikail, also known as the
legendary doctor. You can call me Legendary Doctor Mikail.â
Alex took two glances at him and shook his head. He didnât say anything but let out a sigh.
Enraged, Darven said, âWhatâs with that expression, you brat?â
Alex felt a little inexplicable annoyance.
He only promised Cheryl to join the medical exchange today. To his surprise, after dealing with the
Mikail spouses, another annoying old man jumped out of nowhere.
What day was today?
Alex asked, âWhatâs your relation to that Matthew Mikail?â
Darven huffed coldly. âMatthew Mikail is my nephew. Looks like you already know who my nephew is.
Heâs the owner of this hotel⦠Old James, I didnât lie to you, right? If you donât want your reputation
ruined, then hand over Ganoderma right now! Elsewise, I wonât let you proceed with this medical
exchange of yours.â
At that moment, many people, who had already noticed the argument at the entrance, walked over and
watched by forming a crowd. There were many famous old traditional doctors who were well
acquainted with James among them.
An old lady came up to ask about the situation.
Only then did James explain the reason. It turned out Darven was actually a fellow disciple of James
under the same academy. The sign of Ganoderma derived from the legacy of their master.
Ever since Darvenâs graduation, he went to Hong Kong for development. He was never heard of since
then. He did not even come back to see anyone from the academy. He didnât come back when his
master passed away too.
Now, he actually wanted to snatch away the sign of Ganoderma.
Moreover, he even threatened that he would let his nephew, Matthew chase them out of Global Traders
Hotel if James refused to hand it over.
