Chapter 513

Cyrus had called Evelyn by her name, which immediately offended Jessie. "Are you out of your mind? Have you no respect for your elders? Do you know the status my grandma holds in the medical industry?" "You're just the director of a small medical center, yet you act all high and mighty!" Evelyn's outburst had no effect on Cyrus. James also stood up abruptly and grabbed a silver needle in his hand. "Cyrus, I'm warning you. Show some respect to my grandmother or you'll regret it!" Meanwhile, Chris planned to use the Blood Bat venom to pressure Marshall to confront Cyrus. However, Cyrus had already shattered the table with a single blow, leaving Jordan without a way to use the venom discreetly. "You'll never return if you step foot in Centuria!" Jordan threatened. Cyrus looked at him and chuckled. "We can discuss Centuria later. Just now, the rhythm and force you tapped the lighter on the table with were to trigger the Blood Bat venom, right?" Jordan's face twitched, and he nearly choked on his own saliva. How could Cyrus possibly know about Blood Bat venom? It was impossible for Cyrus to know the details of venom with his insight and cultivation. "Ridiculous. What's Blood Bat venom? I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you saying you poisoned Mr. Foster Senior? Did you also kill Ortis?" Jordan countered back. Nicole laughed coldly. "Cyrus is the most trusted person of my grandfather and the Cunningham family. Your accusations are absurd, and the real murderer will face retribution eventually." Benjamin was terrified. He wasn't as cunning or calm as Ortis. The Sykes family was indeed untouchable. "Nicole, the elders are talking. It's not your place to speak. Shut up!" Jordan broke out in a cold sweat. How did Cyrus know everything? Would he decimate the Hayes family if he were to use the excuse of clearing out the Jorsproburgh medical industry? The power displayed by Cyrus earlier was far beyond what the Hayes brothers could handle. "Everyone, please calm down. Let's take a breath. Aren't we here for a shareholders' meeting? Shouldn't we ask what the shareholders intend to do?" Jordan suggested. "We'll get to the shareholders' meeting in a moment," Cyrus said calmly. "Okay, whatever you say. You're the ones calling this shareholders' meeting. What's the point of trying to seize our shares?" Jordan was getting frantic. Jordan felt that Cyrus was brave. He even stood up to the Sykes family. Did he have any idea how powerful the Sykes family in Centuria was? Evelyn sighed and looked at Cyrus. "Why do you want to know the ancestral medical creed of the Sykes family?" "If the King of Medicine didn't leave you an ancestral medical creed, that's his problem. But if he did and you're ignoring it, then you're betraying your ancestors," Cyrus replied. "Mr. Johnson, are you determined to challenge the Sykes family? Do you really think you're up to it, considering you're the biggest spendthrift in Jorsproburgh?" Evelyn asked. Cyrus scanned the Sykeses and smiled. "It seems none of you remember your ancestors' creed. Let me enlighten you today." Jessie scoffed, not believing for a second that Cyrus would know the Sykes family's creed. "If you can't say it, please leave this meeting room. You have no business here." Cyrus ignored her and looked directly at Evelyn and Chris. Then, he stated, "The use of medicine is a matter of life and death. All members of the Sykes family should remember that those who harm lives with medicine and those with poor medical ethics should be condemned by all righteous people." Jessie's face turned pale. "How do you know our family's creed? Who told you this?" She glanced at Chris and Evelyn, hoping their vast knowledge could provide an answer for her. This precept was inscribed in the Sykes family's library and was known only to them. Even the Hayes brothers weren't privy to it because they weren't allowed into the library. She wondered how Cyrus knew the Sykes family's creed, which had never been publicly disclosed.
