Chapter 507

Jordan and Ferdinand received the Medical Directive from the Hippocrates Sect that was issued by Cyrus. They were scared after just a glance. Jordan shivered and forwarded the message to Evelyn, exclaiming, "Aunt Evelyn, I told you before Cyrus has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, right? If he saves these people, we won't even have a chance to restore our reputation!" A female journalist, who had been impressed by Cyrus during the Lynch family's strike, read the Medical Directive aloud with great enthusiasm. "To all residents in Jorsproburgh, you're the lifeblood of the medical industry. We deeply sympathize with those who have suffered from harmful medications and are left untreated. "Mr. Johnson has tirelessly researched and discovered that the Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills can eliminate the foul odor within you. "From now on, you can take your receipts from Hayes Group Pharmaceutical to the Foster Pharmacy, the Cunningham Pharmacy, or the Neil Pharmacy to purchase a Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pill at a discounted price of 3,000 dollars. "Within 12 hours of consumption, the foul odor will transform into a pleasant fragrance." These were the contents of the Medical Directive. The announcement caused an immediate uproar. Victims were holding their phones with tears of joy as they reread the Medical Directive. They were ecstatic while praising Cyrus for once again saving the people of Jorsproburgh. These individuals had suffered immensely as their families and friends couldn't bear the stench emanating from them. "The Hayes family is unreliable as they're still trying to cheat us. Let's buy the Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills first and then join forces to sue Jordan Pharmaceuticals." "Yeah, Mr. Johnson has never lied to us. I regret not buying his Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills earlier." "Mr. Johnson can cure us in 12 hours while the Hayes family needs a week. They're deliberately delaying our time." "I'll change my name if I ever buy the Hayes family's products again!" Instantly, live-streaming journalists and online comments were filled with praise for Cyrus and condemnation for the Hayes family's deceit. Those victims, who had been protesting outside Jordan Pharmaceuticals and vandalizing their pharmacies, swarmed the Foster Pharmacy, the Cunningham Pharmacy, and the Neil Pharmacy. They eagerly purchased the Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills at a special price without any hesitation. The Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills had always been in high demand, with prices soaring to ten grand and even reaching over 30 grand on the black market. Yet, Cyrus was selling them for only 3,000 dollars, solely to treat the victims and help them return to their normal lives. Jordan and Ferdinand felt ashamed to stay at the press conference. They drove home in disgrace to seek advice from Evelyn. Jordan had warned repeatedly that Cyrus was unpredictable and full of tricks, but Evelyn hadn't taken it seriously, insisting that anyone would take a week to treat the foul odor. On their way, they saw their own pharmacies deserted and vandalized, with employees quitting the mess to join the other three pharmacies. Meanwhile, the lines at the Foster Pharmacy, the Cunningham Pharmacy, and the Neil Pharmacy stretched for hundreds of yards as women received their Hippocrates Scented Elixir Pills. They had Cyrus to thank. Ferdinand checked the stock app on his phone, handed it to Jordan, and sighed deeply as he removed his glasses. Their stock price had hit another lower limit, dropping from 50 billion dollars to 40 billion dollars. It was down from over 90 billion dollars earlier this year. Jordan quickly called Bella, asking, "Who's behind that five-billion-dollar sell order?" "Mr. Hayes, I just found out it was Jason who did it." "Damn it, what's Jason up to?" "The sell-off is too heavy, Mr. Hayes. Even a ten-billion-dollar infusion wouldn't help." "Is anyone buying up shares?" "Yes, the Foster Group, the Cunningham Group, and the Hawk Group are all buying at the lower limit." "How much have they bought?" "So far, they've acquired 24 percent of the shares in just two days." "That much?" Jordan was shocked when he realized that they were now the second-largest shareholder. Bella said, "Yes, Mr. Hayes. They could become our controlling shareholder tomorrow." Jordan was shocked and yelled at the driver, "Drive faster!" He knew he had to get the Sykes family to step in and grab the shares immediately.
