With a cold expression, Dr. Ellis gritted his teeth and said, “Oh, Leonard, you can be rest assured! I’ve already left the Eastshire representatives group. Just focus on your own matters.”
Leonard was startled but he quickly laughed and said, “Why did you leave? Did you purposely leave the team after you found out that I was coming because you are afraid? However, it’s the smart thing to do. After leaving the team, you won’t need to participate in the competition. With that, you won’t have to go on stage and nobody would compare us both so naturally, you won’t be humiliated. Dr. Ellis, I never thought that you would learn from your mistakes!”
Leonard’s apprentices once again burst into laughter and they looked at Dr. Ellis in contempt.
Meanwhile, Dr. Ellis was angered because he had never been insulted so badly before. However, it was common among the medical industry. His medical skills were weaker than Leonard’s so there was nothing he could do.
Just then, Matthew suddenly said, “Leonard, are you unwilling to leave because you’re planning to represent Eastcliff in the competition? I’m sorry but Eastcliff doesn’t have enough money to hire a greedy creature like you!”
Nobody expected that Matthew would dare to scold Leonard, and even Dr. Ellis and Travis were dumbfounded.
After all, Leonard was a big shot. He was the most skilled doctor in Mightwater and one of the top ten doctors in the country. Other than his noble status, he had relationships with wealthy families and nobody in the venue could compete with him! Even though Leonard was arrogant, he was qualified to do so. Even Old Master Hughes had to treat Leonard respectfully and politely. Nobody had spoken to Leonard so disrespectfully in a long time! With a cold expression, Leonard solemnly asked, “Who are you? How dare you speak up in front of me?”
Matthew chuckled and replied, “This is the seating area for the Eastcliff representatives. You’re standing in our area but you think that I have no right to talk to you? Leonard, you really are shameless!”
His words instantly caused the crowd to burst into laughter. At the same time, they looked at Matthew as if he was a fool. Not a single person in the venue dared to go against Leonard and even a big shot like Dr. Ellis had to treat him respectfully. However, Matthew actually dared to yell at Leonard rudely. In their eyes, Matthew was seeking for death.
Sure enough, Leonard’s face darkened. He angrily turned to look at Travis and asked, “Why is there a team of representatives from Eastcliff?”
Travis hurriedly explained everything that happened with some exaggeration and in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “This b*stard bewitched Dr. Ellis to completely destroy the Eastshire representatives team. Fortunately, my grandfather was smart enough to invite you. Otherwise, I’m afraid the Eastshire representatives would lose terribly!” Hearing this, Leonard glared at Matthew in disgust and said, “How dare an immature young b*stard like you act rudely in front of me? Is it because the elders in your family are all dead so nobody could teach you manners?”
Matthew chuckled and said, “Of course I know manners. However, I don’t think there’s a need to treat elders who don’t deserve respect with good manners.”
Leonard immediately flew into a rage. After all, Matthew was implying that he didn’t deserve respect. “You impudent b*stard!” Leonard roared angrily.
His apprentice at the side hurriedly kicked Matthew and yelled, “As*hole!”
However, Matthew easily dodged his kick and he sneered, “Leonard, as a elderly, you didn’t teach your apprentice well either!”
Leonard watched from the sidelines and he arrogantly said, “He is my apprentice. If he does nothing when someone humiliates me, that would be the true sin!”
Matthew’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Well, does that mean that you’re not planning to stop him? Since you can’t discipline them, I’ll do you a favor and teach them a lesson!”
