Chapter 98

"Sierra is just embarrassing herself by challenging us." Tabitha's clear and deep eyes were fixed on Atlas. She didn't know when it started. But whenever Atlas was near, she could feel a warmth emanating from him. It was hard to describe but undeniably comforting. Before Tabitha could say anything, Callie scoffed, "You're planning to win the battle? With what? Sierra has countless great doctors under her. Over the years, anyone with medical skill has been recruited into Century Group." Atlas turned to Callie and said, "Mrs. Grayson, just wait and see. By the way, where are we having dinner tonight? I'll treat you all to dinner tonight. "Tomorrow, I'll show you how Century Group becomes a laughingstock." Callie stared at Atlas in confusion. Could he really mean what he said? … That evening, the family went to a local Sitalian restaurant. Callie still looked skeptical. As they sat down to eat, she approached with a garbage bag in hand and tossed it to Stacy. "Found this in the trash today. It's for you." Stacy opened the bag to find a brand-new backpack. "Grandma, you're the best! I've wanted a new backpack for so long! Now I can go to kindergarten happily." Callie showed her disinterest. "I told you, I found this in the trash." Stacy pouted and said, "That's not true! How is it possible that you keep finding just what I want? And it's exactly the ladybug backpack I wanted. This is so cute! Thank you, Grandma." She stood up to give Callie a kiss on the cheek. Although Callie was happy, she still pushed Stacy away. "Go away, you little rascal." Tabitha watched this scene unfold and couldn't help but smile. She glanced at Atlas and wondered how long would days like this last. After finishing their meal, they took a leisurely walk home. … The next morning, a piece of shocking news spread through Newtropolis. Tabitha had accepted the challenge! "She must be crazy! Tabitha actually accepted the challenge. It's like a mouse trying to topple an elephant!" "If she loses, she'll have to pay a million dollars. Where would Tabitha get that kind of money?" "Exactly! I know Tabitha has been bullied by Sierra for years and harbors resentment. But these are medical skills we're talking about. How does she plan to compete with Sierra?" "I admire Tabitha. She's planning to lose with pride!" The streets and alleys buzzed with excitement as everyone headed toward Century Group. Amid the crowd, a stage had already been set up outside the Century Group building. Tickets had sold out immediately too. Outside Century Group, Sierra didn't attend in person. Instead, she watched everything from upstairs. Representing Century Group were its lead medical team members which were Daniel Larson, Colin Stone, and James Winfield. They were renowned doctors from the Newtropolis Hospital of Traditional Medicine, famed for their miraculous skills. Now, as part of Century Group, they were considered among the top ten doctors in the company. Many people bought medicine from Century Group because of them. Countless investors chose Century Group due to their presence too. By having these three, Century Group was clearly trying to humiliate Herbal Emporium, crushing them like a mountain over an anthill. The medical duel hadn't even started, but the outcome seemed decided. On the other hand, it was just Atlas and Tabitha to represent Herbal Emporium. "This is bad. Really bad!" "Herbal Emporium has no secret weapon!" "Even though Tabitha possesses some medical skills, she's way out of her league." In the crowd, people murmured with pity and doubt. But Atlas walked straight onto the stage. He crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. He glanced at Daniel, Colin, and James. "Is it just you three juniors? You'd better go and get some backup. "Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying you because of your lack of skills. The three of you are nowhere close to my skills!"
