At Horton Airport.
Dressed in a suit, Dr. Torres walked out of the airport entrance with two male assistants.
Despite being a prominent figure in the medical field, the man was extremely low-profile. He hated the public eye and despised all forms of extravagance.
In fact, he didn't even ask Nathan to pick him up from the airport, despite having been requested to take part in the latter's product launch.
Yet, Dr. Torres walked out of the airport to see two rows of men in black, one black Mercedes-Maybach and over twenty black Mercedes-Benz.
"Welcome to Horton, Dr. Torres!" Dozens of men in black bowed to Dr. Torres in unison.
Dr. Torres and his two assistants froze in shock.
He smiled wryly at the sight. "I wanted to keep a low profile, but the General still managed to discover my tracks and sent so many people to welcome me," he muttered.
Then, Ben walked over with a few toughlooking subordinates and grinned. "Hello, Dr. Torres. My name is Ben Holt. I'm here to pick you up."
"Did Mr. Cross send you to receive me?" Dr. Torres asked with a smile.
Mr. Cross?
A look of confusion flashed across Ben's eyes for a brief moment, and he quickly chuckled. "That's right. Please get in the car."
Dr. Torres smiled and stretched out an arm without hesitation. "You too, Mr. Holt."
Dr. Torres and his assistants quickly entered the car.
With a triumphant smile on his face, Ben and his subordinates got into their respective cars and they all headed toward the People's Hospital.
They quickly arrived at the hospital to find a row of doctors and nurses, standing at the entrance with banners to welcome their distinguished guest.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Torres couldn't help but frown and realize something was wrong.
He turned to Ben skeptically. "What's going on, Mr. Holt? Where's Mr. Cross?”
"Mr. Cross?" Ben asked with a chuckle. "Which Mr. Cross are you referring to?"
"Nathan Cross, of course!" Dr. Torres replied sternly, his frown deepening.
