Fade sneered when he saw Loomis's worried expression. He said loudly, "With regards to everyone's safety, you don't have to worry about it at all."
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
"Do you have a way of acquiring the Alstom Antibiotic from other channels, Mr. Chen?"
"Mr. Chen is a doctor. He can definitely cure our disease."
"But Mr. Chen is only a one man team, how would he have the time to treat so many of us?"
"Wasn't there some news about Mr. Chen leading the production of an alternative medicine? Could it be-"
Just as everyone was busy speculating, the two men in white robes who had been standing behind Fade proceeded to retrieve a box of medicine, and then they walked onto the stage.
Fade announced, "Everyone, you can stop worrying now. Our team has invented a medicine that is able to replace Alstom Antibiotics."
As soon as he said that, the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone was shocked.
"They actually came up with one. I thought it was impossible?"
"I heard that there were hundreds of experts in Capital City who have been researching for months, and they haven't been able to make any progress. Dr. Chen has only been researching for a month, right? Isn't this quick?"
"Dr. Chen's medical skills are excellent. I believe in him."
"Dr. Chen, hurry and show us the medicine!"
The audience was ecstatic. On the stage, Loomis's face contorted. His facial muscles twitched a few times as his eyes were fixated on Fade.
He had been reckless due to the patent rights for Alstom Antibiotics. There was no way that Chinese citizens could develop this kind of medicine.
However, Fade's announcement that he had successfully developed a substitute medicine, also meant that he had overturned the trump card of Maritime Ocean Pharma. The news was even a threat to Bald Eagle Pharma, who was had been backing their company in Jade City.
For a moment, Loomis panicked.
He was hoping that what Fade said was fake and that he was only lying to stabilize the current situation. After all, Loomis knew very well how difficult it was to develop a new medicine.
Fade knew that everyone was skeptical. He explained, "The medicine we have developed is made solely from Chinese medicine. It sells at a fair price and is more effective than the Alstom Antibiotics. Unlike its Western counterparts, there are no side effects."
"We named this medicine the Ephedra Syrup. At 1 p.m. today, it will officially be released onto the market. You can buy it from major hospitals and pharmacies in Dragonville. The supply is guaranteed to be sufficient."
The people present cheered, while Loomis's expression became more and more gloomy.
He was trying to figure out a way to defeat Fade.
However, while Loomis was still thinking, Fade said, "As to the effects of the Ephedra Syrup, I can give a live demonstration right now."
As he spoke, Fade chose a random patient from the crowd. Under the watchful gaze of countless reporters, he gave the syrup to the patient.
