Chapter 464
“My valued guests…” Lacles looked at Andrius with a sincere and eager smile. “I, Lacles. O’Conner, am deeply grateful for your visit to the Grand Ocean Hotel. I am flattered.
“To celebrate your precious arrival, I want to present this precious alcohol collection of mine. I hope everyone will like it.”
Lacles then put the two bottles of limited–edition crown–shaped vodka in front of Andrius. and Zenith.
Then, the man secretly looked at Andrius.
Andrius knew the man was presenting the vodkas to him, so he nodded to express his gratitude.
Lacles was thrilled. He bowed and then said, “Please enjoy.”
He then left the room in relief.
Andrius might have resigned from the title of Wolf King, but his connections and background remained strong.
What happened to Timothy Kerr was the best proof. A word from the Wolf King could determine one person’s life and death.
After Lacles left, everyone in the room was excited.
“Damn!”
“Young Master Mangold, you are freaking awesome!”
“Even the owner of the Grand Ocean Hotel came himself to present you with these expensive bottles of vodkas! I have never heard of this before!”
“I checked online and these seem to be the Crown Vodka, a limited–edition alcohol. It’s probably expensive.”
“Following Young Master Mangold around and enjoying the privilege is the bomb!”
Lacles put the two bottles of vodkas in between Andrius and Zenith.
To them, it was for Zenith, not Andrius. After all, why would the owner of the Grand Ocean Hotel present limited–edition vodka to a caveman?
“Hahaha!”
Zenith was over the moon after a series of events. He was carried away by the privilege and pleasure. He laughed and waved his hands at them. “Come, since the owner presented these to us, we must enjoy it! But…”
Then, Zenith looked at Andrius beside him and sneered at him, “Andrius, you might not know how to enjoy such expensive vodka. I won’t be pouring it for you I’m afraid that you might spoil your tummy because of this. I won’t want to be responsible for that, hahaha.
Zenith cackled arrogantly.
“Andrius has never drunk something so expensive before! Giving it to him will be a waste!”
“Young Master Mangold, you don’t need to care about him. He can drink the cheap liquor himself.”
“The owner said the vodkas are for his precious guests. Andrius is everything but precious, so giving it to him is a waste of the owner’s goodwill.”
“It makes sense.”
The others echoed Zenith’s insults and sprinkled salt on the wound.
Andrius was not in the mood to argue with them. He was crowned the Wolf King because of his unrivaled power and massive influence. Therefore, all the businesses and factions across the world tried to win his favor, and some of them were alcohol distilleries.
This included famous alcohol distilleries like Molson Coors, Bacardi, Pernod Ricard, Diageo, etc., all of which were influential companies in the beverage industry that had decisive power over the alcohol distribution of the world.
All of them offered to produce a one–of–a–kind alcoholic beverage for the Wolf King which only he could enjoy.
Andrius had declined all the offers. He had never liked the alcohol the big companies produced, and he did not care about the brands.
He liked the liquor provided by the military. Spicy, the taste lingered longer than most and it would stir up a fiery storm in the stomach when consumed.
He loved a fierce liquor. He did not care about the Crown Vodka.
The others enjoyed the beverage. Fueled by the alcohol, the lively atmosphere reached a new level.
“Uncle Harry!” Zenith got up and proposed a toast to Harry. He then asked, “Based on what I know, the Grand Medicinal Competition is happening soon. I believe New Moon Corporation has gotten the project from the Medical Society and that you will participate in the competition, right?”
He was not that familiar with the Grand Medicinal Competition
Chapter 465
However, the capital was his territory, and in order to make himself look better, he picked this topic.
“Yes.”
Harry was surprised before realization struck his mind.
The Mangolds were a wealthy family in the capital, thus Zenith must know a lot of famous. doctors. If they could get Zenith to introduce one to them, they might be able to secure a good ranking in the Grand Medicinal Competition.
They were not aiming for first place, but the forefront ranking would be enough to help the company boost its reputation and image in the medical field. They would also earn a massive profit from it.
Harry then looked at Zenith eagerly and said, “Zenith, New Moon Corporation is confident about this, but we are a little late. We are not as well–resourced as other companies, so I’m afraid we might not secure a good ranking. I wonder….
“Zenith, you must know a lot of people from the capital, don’t you? I wonder if you can introduce a couple of famous traditional doctors to us and guide us through the competition.”
Harry struck Zenith at his sweet spot. It was the best opportunity for Zenith to present himself again.
“Uncle Harry,” Zenith said with a hint of arrogance. “You are not thinking big enough.”
“Zenith, are you saying…” Harry looked at him, confused.
Zenith grinned and said loudly, “Traditional methods are not the right way and can only achieve so much. You’ve already lost half the battle by choosing this path.
“Plus, my family will also enter the competition. My father invited specialists from famous medical institutes from abroad, like Sephora Medical, Barnaby Clinic, Tether Link Hospital, etc. All of them have won awards, and each one of them can easily beat all the doctors in our country.”
Andrius disagreed with what Zenith said. It was the 21st century, yet there were still people who blindly believed modern medicine was the best.
way.
Were foreign medicines and doctors that much better?
“Hmph.” Andrius scoffed. He was not loud, but his disdain struck Zenith’s heart.
He was startled like a cat’s tail being stepped on.
He grinned and asked, “What are you laughing at, Andrius? If you have any opinion at all, just say it. Don’t keep it to yourself.”
He was looking for a chance to flaunt more, and Andrius just gave it to him.
“I am laughing at you for being short–sighted and ignorant,” Andrius said.
“Alright…” Andrius‘ words amused Zenith. He turned his chair around and looked at Andrius with disdain. He ridiculed, “Go ahead. I want to see what you have inside that mind of yours.
Do tell.”
To Zenith, Andrius was just a caveman. He did not believe Andrius could spew anything informative.
If Andrius wanted to brag, he could go ahead. Zenith could just strike him down later and further insult him.
“You said traditional methods are not the way? That they can only achieve so much?” Andrius narrowed his
eyes and grinned. “I bet you forgot who your ancestors are. Traditional medicine in Florence has existed for thousands of years. It is already a complete, functioning system since the very beginning and has been practiced by skilled traditional doctors until now.
“Traditional medical has saved countless lives and there are many famous doctors across history. All of them have contributed a lot and have written many books about traditional medicines. Their knowledge is being circulated around the world to save more lives. One of them is known as the Bible of Traditional Medicine which is sought after by many for its informative knowledge.
“Modern medicine can be effective quickly, but it won’t solve the problem from the roots. You are saying that it can achieve more? You don’t know anything about medicine or acupoints, or the shift of Yin and Yang, and you disgrace the knowledge left behind by our ancestors. You shame traditional medicine and you even sound proud for doing so.
“If I were you, I would have knocked my head onto the wall and died.”
Chapter 466
Andrius sounded confident as he spewed out informative points one after another.
The words struck Zenith at his weak spot.
With each word that Andrius said, Zenith’s face got redder.
In the end, his face was as red as an apple. He was deeply embarrassed.
His lips opened and tried to argue, but no words came out. He stuttered but could not form at complete sentence.
Then, the other family members of the Crestfalls stepped in, trying to defend Zenith. They could not allow Andrius to embarrass the person they worshiped and admired.
“Andrius! What is a caveman like you talking about? You know nothing about traditional medicine!”
“Andrius, do you really think you are so good? You are just good at bragging! Stop barking!”
“Andrius, if you are that good, why didn’t you start your own clinic? You can’t, right? Then, shut up!”
All of them criticized Andrius harshly without bothering to find out the truth.
Andrius looked at them with a discouraged look. He got up and said, “I don’t know about. traditional medical skills or whatever theory, but I did cure Grandfather’s condition.”
Then, he walked out of the room.
The Crestfalls were left speechless.
Belarus had had a serious health problem a few months back, and it was Andrius who had cured him. No matter how much they disliked him or wanted to discredit him, it was a solid. fact that none of them could deny.
“Damn it! He’s being such a pain!”
“Andrius is a stubborn donkey! He doesn’t understand anything!”
“With that temper of his, he won’t achieve anything in life. He’s narrow–sighted and hot- tempered.”
“A caveman…”
Since the Crestfalls failed to defeat Andrius from the medical aspect, they started to target his attitude and personality. They insulted and berated Andrius just so they could feel good about themselves.
Luna reacted poorly to her family’s attitude. She glanced at them coldly before she got up and went after Andrius.
“Luna?”
Harry got nervous when Luna went after Andrius. He wanted to chase after his daughter.
Chapter 467
Women were dangerous and unreasonable. If he took a bite, things would get worse.
Chapter 468
“Young Master Mangold, judging from the owner’s reaction, if you just say the word, he will send more in!”
