Trevor hung up the phone. “Wait and see. River will be here soon.”

Slap...

“River?”

Dennis picked up Trevor by the collar and slapped him.

Slap...

.

“The head of the FDA? Do you know the head of the FDA, old geezer? I know Jesus too!”

Slap...

“Do you think I’ll be scared?”

Slap...

“If you know the head of the FDA, do you need to work at a clinic with only three people?”

Dennis was extremely arrogant. Trevor had been slapped several times. His face was red, and he was in a daze.

“Professor Hughes...”

Greyson tried to stop the fight, but Dennis had someone grabbed him and gave him a couple of good kicks in the stomach.

“Bah!”

“What the hell? How dare you challenge me? I’d beat you to death if there weren’t so many people watching.”

The only thing making Dennis a little depressed was that Thirteen Hall’s owner Clarence showed no signs of resistance.

Someone paid Dennis one million dollars with only one goal—seal Thirteen Hall up.

It was best if he could put Clarence in jail until kingdom come!

If Clarence resisted, he could have had someone cripple Clarence for any reason.

What a pity.

Clarence knew he would make it worse if he fought with officials in front of the public.

Even if he was not guilty, he could end up with several trumped-up charges for resisting law enforcement.

Half an hour later.

Dennis had led a group of people to seal up Clarence’s Thirteen Hall and capture Clarence and his crew.

Suddenly, a dozen Food and Drug Administration vehicles hurriedly pulled up outside Thirteen Hall’s entrance, and River rushed down from one.

“Mr...”

Cold sweat gushed from Dennis’s forehead.

The man who came was actually the head of the Food and Drug Administration.

River did not even bother with Dennis. He made them let Trevor go and apologized profusely, “Professor, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen.”

“Haha.”

Trevor still had Dennis’s handprint on his face. “River, I had no idea your men were so lawless.”

“They indiscriminately tore up people’s business licenses in broad daylight!”

“They forcibly sealed the clinic.”

“They also beat people up and confuse right and wrong!”

“How are you the head of the FDA?”

“River... Gosh.” Dennis almost peed his pants.

‘Who on earth is this old man?’

‘He called the head of the FDA by his name.’

Clarence was surprised too. ‘Is Trevor such a big deal?’

The head of the Food and Drug Administration turned out to be one of his students.

‘Did I go too far by asking Trevor to fill prescriptions for me...’

River stood there, bending over with a smile on his face. “Professor, I really don’t know what happened.”

“Let your men explain.” Trevor turned his head.

River dared not neglect him. “Professor, I’ll give you a good explanation. I’ll dismiss or fire these people.”

Thump!

Dennis fell to his knees in horror. His arrogance was gone, and his face was ghastly pale—It was as if someone had died in his family.

“Mr... Mr... Mr... I...”

Dennis was so shocked that he could not say a complete sentence.

River’s voice deepened. “What’s going on? Speak.”

He pointed to a regular Food and Drug Administration staff.

The staff explained the whole story as he trembled in front of the boss.

River’s face was ghastly grim. “Have you seen their business license? Are you sure it’s fake?”

“No... No...” Dennis was on his knees, gulping nonstop.

River asked again, “Have you investigated Thirteen Hall? Are you sure someone died?”

Dennis steeled himself. “No... no, we were about to take them back to investigate...”

River asked coldly, “Who told you to seal up Thirteen Hall?”

Dennis explained in a shaky voice, “We received a report.”

“I asked who!” River’s voice sounded menacing.

Dennis could not take it any longer and lay prone on the ground in fear. “William Keynes. It’s William Keynes from the Keynes Group. He gave me one million dollars to bring Thirteen Hall down and put the owner in jail.”

Clarence’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Take them all away!”

River waved his big hand, and a group of people immediately came forward and dragged Dennis and the others away.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Several other staff came forward and tore off the seal on Thirteen Hall.

“Great!”

“What a relief!” The patients applauded in relief.

Clarence and the others went back to Thirteen Hall, and River walked in with a group of people, apologizing profusely to Trevor.

“Professor, I’m really sorry. I didn’t manage my staff well.”

“You can beat or scold all you want. I dare not complain!”

Trevor snorted. “How dare I? I’m nobody and old. Any hoodlum could slap me.”

“You’re the head of the FDA. I wouldn’t dare scold you.”

River knew Trevor was still angry.

“Professor, you’re kidding me. Everyone knows about your connections. You may have no position but one word from you, and I’ll be laid off tomorrow.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“Stop being angry. It won’t do you any good to consume yourself with anger.” River apologized profusely and humbly.

Trevor had cooled off a bit. He knew River had nothing to do with it.

River changed the subject when he saw that his professor had cooled down. “By the way, Professor, I heard you’re visiting Mediterranean City Champion Hospital for research these days. I was just going to make time to see you. What are you doing here?”

Trevor did not even look at River. “I’m helping out with filling the prescriptions here.”

River was surprised. “Huh? With your identity, isn’t it a waste of talent for you to help others fill the prescriptions?”

“Hmph.” Trevor snorted coldly. “I’m willing to admit defeat. I lost a bet to Master Howard, so I’m here to help him fill the prescriptions for a month.”

“Master? Professor, your medical skills are so good, yet there’s someone you considered a master?”

“I don’t believe it.” River’s eyes narrowed, and he looked at Clarence a little coldly.

How could he have offended Trevor if it was not for Clarence’s Thirteen Hall?

Let alone affected his future.

River dared not hold a grudge against Trevor and took it out on Clarence.

Clarence was a nobody, so he was not afraid of him.

Dennis did not take Clarence down. As the head of the Food and Drug Administration, River just wanted to give Clarence a lesson. It would be easy to give him trouble in secret.

Clarence sensed River’s hostility. “You’re going to have a splitting headache by tomorrow afternoon!”

“In another week, you’ll be seriously ill and hospitalized! Don’t worry. No one can figure out what you’re going to be hospitalized for.”

“Not even your Professor Hughes!”

“After a month, you may become vegetative if you’re lucky. If not, your stomach will be the first to rot and grow maggots. You’ll eventually die a horrible death.”

River’s eyes widened, and he jumped to his feet. “What did you say? It’s pure nonsense!”
