Chapter 51 Young Master Lee from Healler Hall
Upon seeing this, Harry and the others were stunned. To them, Victor was considered a successful businessman who could make a good fortune. Yet, he was groveling to another young man. Who exactly was that young man? Victor walked over just as they were guessing who the young man was. Although Victor was chided by the Young Master Lee, his face showed pride instead of displeasure.
He stroked his hair and looked at Harry and the others. He quizzed proudly, "Do you know who is that man inside the VIP room?"
Harry and others shook their heads and asked cautiously, "Is he an influential individual?"
"He's not just an influential person," Victor said mysteriously. "Have you heard of Healler Hall?"
Harry and the others nodded, "Yup. It is the largest Chinese medicine store in Ludington City. It seems to have a good business."
Victor added on proudly, "All of you have underestimated Healler Hall. It is not a mere Chinese medicine store."
"Is there something more about it?"
"Of course!" Victor boasted, "Master Lee came to Ludington City from Capital City 50 years ago and founded Healler Hall. I heard that he was a student of Semaj Ching, who was the 'Herbal King' of the Capital City. After he finished studying Chinese medicine, Master Lee returned to Ludington City."
"Ever since the establishment of Healler Hall, countless high-ranking officials and noblemen have come to seek treatment from Master Lee. For example, Vann Zhang, an official, and Owen Chu, who was the mayor, have all sought treatment at Healler Hall. So, Healler Hall is not just a simple Chinese medicine store. There are many influential people supporting it. Large-scale enterprises such as Huang Pharma, Lorenzo Pharma, and Domino Pharma in Ludington City may not be able to compete with it."
"Incredible! Victor, you know a lot!"
Victor put on a prideful look, "Of course, I am an expert in this industry, and I know a lot of inside information. The one inside the VIP room is the only grandson of Bruno Lee, the owner of Healler Hall. His name is Vernon Lee. He is the only descendant of Healler Hall and he has excellent medical skills. Naturally, everyone in the medical industry respects him."
Seeing their surprised expressions, Victor continued, "I'm lucky enough to have worked for Young Master Lee before. So, it can be said that we're familiar with each other. I went there to greet him just now." Victor was chased out just now. He was so thick-skinned that he bent the truth. Harry and others did not expose him, "Victor, you're so amazing to be able to befriend people from the upper-class society." "Haha, it's nothing!" Victor still sounded very proud.
At this moment, Victor happened to see Zachary exiting the washroom. He narrowed his eyes and mocked, "Some people think they can do anything just because they have a little money. But, connections are more important in modern society. Not everyone can get to know people like Young Master Lee." He ignored the fact that Zachary's Dark Gold VIP Card could not be obtained without connections.
Tracy had just spent a lot of money, which was equivalent to two months of her salary. She was even more disgusted by Zachary. She supported Victor and said, "Some people are just lucky enough to be a nouveau riche. How dare they think that they can enter the upper-class society. It's so laughable!"
Zachary frowned when he saw that they had not left yet and were still mocking him. He did not want to argue with them, so he turned to leave.
At that moment, Zachary's gaze fell on Young Master Lee, and his eyes immediately tensed up. He quickened his pace and walked towards the VIP room.
Seeing this, Victor was stunned. He then said sarcastically, "How ridiculous! Who does he think he is? Does he think that he can get to know Young Master Lee just by approaching him?"
"Let's see how he'll be driven out!" Tracy sneered.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Vernon, who was dressed in an expensive suit, picked up a glass of red wine with a smile and stood up. Then, he bowed slightly as he handed it to the woman opposite him.
He knocked his right thumb on the edge of the glass gently when he bowed. A bunch of white powder dropped into the wine and dissolved instantly.
"Miss Lim! Let me raise my glass to you," Vernon handed the glass of red wine to the woman. He picked up another glass of red wine for himself.
Lauren, who was dressed in a gown, stood up in a hurry. She did not take the glass of red wine from Vernon. She picked up the wine glass in front of her instead and smiled, "Young Master Lee, it's my honor to raise my glass to you." "Why do you refuse to drink the wine I have poured for you? You're disrespecting me!" Vernon pretended to be furious.
Lauren was stunned and was going to take the wine glass from Vernon. However, she felt that something was wrong after years of experience. "How can I trouble Young Master Lee to pour wine for me? I'll drink this glass of wine first," As she said this, she lifted her head and drank all the red wine in her glass.
Vernon's face darkened. "You're not giving me face? I don't simply pour wine for anyone. Well, I think there's no need to continue talking about the raw materials since you're disrespecting me.'
Hearing this, Lauren grew anxious. This was her main motive here. She had to take the wine glass from Vernon, "Young Master Lee, please forgive me. I'll drink it now. Please give it a second thought on the matter about the raw materials." Lauren was quite alert. She only took a small sip. Vernon, who was opposite her, let out a sly smile.
"This is our own aphrodisiac from Healler Hall. You'll be very aroused even if you only take a bite. Lauren, I'm going to have fun with you later." Thinking of this, Vernon was starting to get excited.
Lauren was a famous beauty in Ludington City. Many rich people and officials had tried to win over her heart but to no avail. Now, Vernon could finally sleep with her. He could show off about this in the upper circle for quite a while. Lauren put down the wine glass in her hand after merely wetting her lips with it. However, she felt her body getting hotter before the wine glass touched the table. She felt quite dizzy as well.
"Sh*t! There's something wrong with this wine!" Lauren cursed in her mind. She instinctively took out her phone to call for help.
Vernon had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He would not let her escape. He snatched her phone away and threw himself at her.
A dark figure rushed into the private room just as Vernon was about to press Lauren down on the sofa. He felt that his chest was forcefully hit before he could clearly see the black figure. The force was so strong that he flew backward and crashed into the wall behind him. He dropped to the ground with a dull thud.
"Young Master Lee!"
"Who are you?"
"Catch him now!"
Vernon was kicked into the air. The others in the VIP room came back to their senses and shouted angrily. The private room instantly went into chaos.
