Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1578

Edmund was somewhat bewildered to hear this, and he couldn't quite understand what Matthew meant.

"Oh, by the way, Neverland Pharmaceuticals' press conference is today. Is there any way you can get me in?" Matthew asked.

Nodding, Edmund replied, "A cousin of mine operates a few pharmacies around Granville, and she's technically on the guest list. I gave her a call, and she told me she could get you in if you just pretend to be one of her employees, but that's all she can do for now. Helping you get into the press conference is the limit of my capabilities; I can't do much to help you for the time being."

Matthew gave him a nod of thanks. He knew Edmund was in a tight spot right now, and he was already stretching the last of his connections just to get him into the press conference. Suddenly, he asked, "Can this cousin of yours be trusted?"

"Yes," Edmund replied. "She's probably the only person in the world I could trust right now. She's my aunt's kid on my mom's side, and because her parents died young, my mom raised her. She grew up with me, and she's more like a sister to me." This was all Matthew needed to know, and he nodded without asking further questions. The only thing he had his mind on was to get into the press conference. Nothing else mattered.

Following this, Edmund called his cousin, Isabella, and had her make all the necessary arrangements to sneak Matthew into the event.

The press conference was slated to start at 7.30PM. Matthew arrived half an hour before the event started and met with Isabella for the first time.

She was a beautiful young lady in her early twenties, and there was no mistaking that she was a hard worker. He could tell that being orphaned at a young age had forced her to grow up quickly.

Presently, Isabella handed him a badge that acted as a pass for the event. However, seeing as she was only a small-time business owner of several pharmacies, she did not have as much standing here as the other pharmaceutical bigshots did. The badge she had given Matthew only allowed him to attend the press conference, but there would be no seats for him.

Matthew couldn't care less about these things, and he dismissed her apologies by taking the badge and thanking her pleasantly.

She looked hesitant for a moment, then leaned forward and said in hushed tones, "Sir, I don't know what your relationship with Edmund is, but he's in great danger right now. He pissed off Julian from the Huntington Family, and the other Ten Greatest Families are looking for him to settle the score. Could you do me a favor and persuade Edmund to leave Stonedale for his own safety?"

Matthew eyed her steadily, and he could see how worried she was for Edmund.

"Sure, I'll talk to him. Don't worry about it," he promised as he smiled and nodded.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, then added quietly, "Oh, I should tell you that the Ten Greatest Families will be attending the press conference tonight as well, and there'll be other moguls of the pharmaceutical industry present. Once you're in, make sure to avoid getting into trouble with anyone. Edmund's in no position to help you out if you were to accidentally offend anyone important, and everything will just blow up into a big old mess. If you're looking to buy the medicine in bulk, I could place the orders for you, or I could even give you a part of my share too. Just... don't go and fight the others for it."

Evidently, Isabella thought Matthew was just a small business owner who was here to place orders of the star product today. Occurrences like these were common in Granville, and this was especially true after Neverland Pharmaceuticals announced their plans to launch a new medication that could cure cancer. Anyone who could get their hands on the pills would start rolling in money in no time!

As such, plenty of distributors and sales representatives clamored to gain entry to this press conference in hopes of placing orders for the Restoration Pill. As for the moguls, they could always pull some strings to get their hands on the first batch of the medication.

Isabella presumed that Matthew did not have any connections, which was why he had turned to Edmund for help despite the latter's unfortunate circumstances. As such, she was worried that he might stir up trouble at a prestigious event like this one.
