Tapping his fingers on the table, Fade was startled when his phone suddenly rang.
"Fade, are you in Jade City?" An old voice sounded on the other side of the phone.
Fade was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Otto, a famous Chinese Medicine practitioner in Jade City, the founder of Otto Clinic. "Master Pai, I just arrived yesterday. I'm surprised that you're calling me."
Otto said, "Did you see yesterday's news?"
"Do you mean the article by Lichee Daily?" Fade asked.
"Yes, that's it. It seems like you already know."
"Yeah. What about it?" Fade asked.
"Due to that article, Sincere Medicine Center is in some trouble. If you're free, can you drop by the center?"
Hearing this, Fade recalled something.
He had set up the medical center in Jade City. After he left, he entrusted Otto to be in charge.
It was normal for Otto to notify him about Sincere Medicine Center.
After a pause, he replied, "Master Pai, I'll be right there."
After notifying his team, he headed over to Sincere Medicine Center straight away.
He was still a street away from the center when he saw a crowd of people gathering at the entrance, shouting noisily.
Fade frowned and sped up his pace.
Arriving at the entrance, he finally got a clear picture of the situation.
A man in his thirties was holding a sign that read, "Boycott Fade and Sincere Medicine Center."
The man shouted all kinds of slogans whereas the group of people around him cheered with him.
"Say no to dishonest entrepreneurs!"
"Say no to corrupt companies!"
"Say no to Sincere Medicine Center!"
These protestors blocked the entrance completely. Although the staff tried to keep the situation under control, there was nothing much they could do. Some of the regular patients who were trying to get in ended up being chased away.
There was even an elderly woman who staggered to the medicine center, wanting to buy medicines, but was stopped by the protestors.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Granny, this place is owned by a greedy man. You shouldn't shop here. Go somewhere else!" A protester tried to persuade her.
The woman was confused and said, "The medicine here is very cheap. It's less than half the price of what I paid at the hospital."
"Granny, these people have been deceiving you. Their medicines are poisoned. Don't trust them."
"Granny, don't you know that the owner is Fade Chen from Capital City? You can't believe in a man like him, nor the products he sells."
The elderly lady shook her head and retorted, "I don't know about all these things. Their medicines are effective. My husband has been taking them for a month now and he's almost fully recovered."
"He has finished his medicine so I need to refill his prescription."
Upon hearing this, many people frowned and started to become rude.
"Granny, we've warned you, why won't you listen to us?"
"As I said, this medicine center is immoral. Go to the hospital next door. It's run by Dr. Lin, a graduate from Earland. He has excellent medical skills." "The charges there are too expensive and I can't afford it. Besides, I believe in Sincere Medicine Center."
"Please step aside. I want to go in and get my medicine."
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, the onlookers turned into scoundrels. They joined hands to form a human wall and stopped her from going in. "What are you doing? I want to go in! My husband is still waiting for his medicine!" The elderly lady was getting anxious.
However, the crowd refused to make way. Instead, they pushed her even further away.
"You, why are you guys acting this way?" She was forced to step back and almost lost her balance.
Despite this, these people didn't care at all. A young woman even reached out and gave her a hard push.
The elderly woman stumbled and fell to the ground, letting out a cry of pain.
"Ah, my leg." She held her leg and cried out in pain. At the same time, she pointed at the young woman and complained, "You pushed me. You have to take responsibility."
The young woman's face fell and she was a little flustered. She immediately denied, "Who saw that? Don't try to blame me!"
"It was you who pushed me! You refused to let me buy the medicine and you even assaulted me," shouted the elderly lady.
"What do you mean? We never stopped you. We are just standing here, minding our own business," the young woman was still arguing.
However, the pain in the elderly lady's legs intensified. "My legs! Help, it hurts, help me!"
At the crucial moment, Fade appeared and helped the woman up. He quickly tapped a few times on her leg and channeled some positive energy into her.
Instantly, the elderly woman felt much better. She stood up from the ground, trembling slightly. "Young man, thank you, I am much better."
"Granny, are you here to buy medicine? I'll take you in!" Fade held her and walked towards the medicine center.
Seeing this, the protestors surrounded them again and blocked their way.
"What do you think you are doing?" Fade's voice was cold.
"Nothing! This is a public place. We just want to stand here," one of the protestors said shamelessly.
"I'll give you one last chance. Get out of my way!" Fade's voice deepened.
"One last chance? Naha. What else can you do?" The crowd laughed coldly, looking confident.
Fade's eyes sank. He glanced at the people, then opened his mouth and roared, "Get out!"
Boom!
The soundwave full of monstrous power shook the eardrums of the protestors In a daze, their knees went weak and they almost collapsed to the floor.

Subconsciously, they had opened up a path.
Then, Fade helped the elderly woman into the center.
The staff welcomed them. Otto, who originally looked distressed, was surprised to see Fade coming in. "Fade, you're here."
The other staff members immediately came to their senses and recognized Fade. They hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello, boss!"
"Hello, Master Chen!"
Fade nodded and handed the old lady over to another staff member. "Check this woman's leg and dispense the medicine that her husband needs."
Then, he walked to Otto and asked, "Master Pai, what the hell is going on?"
He pointed to the people by the doorand said, "This morning, the news article by Lichee Daily was released. Then, these people showed up several hours later."
"They kept yelling that we are a dishonest company and that our medicines are poisonous. Not only that, they are calling you a greedy entrepreneur and a violent man Thus, they're urging everyone to boycott Sincere Medicine Center."
"Some people saw and joined the protests. They blocked some of our patients from entering. In the end, our patients had no choice but to leave."
