Chapter 289 It’s a Bit of an Insult

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2024-6-4

“Let’s go see Mr. Wong!” Rose’s face was grim as she turned to enter the Wong family compound.
“Hold on there!” Geomancy master Toby quickly approached Flynn, his words cold and cutting. “I’ve calculated my geomancy layout more than ten times, and there isn’t a single problem with it.”
“But Mr. Wong’s illness still hasn’t improved, so it must be an issue with your medicine. I hope you can explain this to the Wong family.”
Toby knew that Flynn had some skills, but he trusted in his own abilities more. After all, he had gone through the calculations over ten times and found that the yin-yang balance of the Wong family’s geomancy was fine. There shouldn’t have been any major problems, yet Abraham remained ill.
If it wasn’t an issue with Flynn’s medicine, then what was causing Abraham’s illness?
“Master Hewson, what are you saying? This guy treated Mr. Wong?” Corbin couldn’t believe what Toby was saying.
Toby narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
“Are you kidding me?” Corbin shook his head in disbelief before getting angry, “Even if Mr. Wong is desperate for a cure, he shouldn’t be seeking treatment from such garbage! What does a bodyguard know about treating illnesses?”
“Mr. Carlson, Master Hewson, you don’t know yet, but Flynn made quite a scene at the Swanson’s Group estate yesterday, completely embarrassing Ms. Sharp.”
With that, Corbin and Tristan took turns explaining what had happened yesterday in just a few sentences.
“This guy talks a big game, but when trouble arises, he runs away. Do you think he’s capable of treating illnesses? It’s a miracle he didn’t poison Mr. Wong to death!”
“He’s nothing more than a low-life swindler!”
After recounting Flynn’s actions from yesterday, Corbin concluded with this statement, summarizing Flynn as a person.
“After causing such a huge loss of face, Ms. Sharp not only didn’t fire him but also brought him around everywhere. Obviously, they are of the same kind. It’s doubtful that a company like this can last long!” Charlie glanced at Flynn coldly and gave a disdainful smile to Rose.
Upon hearing these words, Rose couldn’t help but glance at Flynn.
It was true that Flynn had been running away yesterday, and no matter how she tried to explain it, she couldn’t justify his actions. She decided to stay quiet.
She even felt a bit regretful.
Was it unwise to bring Flynn here today?
“I knew it! Geomancy is definitely not the issue! It must be the medicine!” Toby laughed after understanding the situation.
He had a brief interaction with Flynn at the Pharma Congress.
This guy was able to detect the problem with Kamari’s jade and had even treated Abraham which made Toby believe that Flynn had some skill.
But he didn’t expect this guy to be all talk and not as capable as he appeared.
“My medicine is fine; it’s your lack of ability that’s the problem. You didn’t adjust the geomancy properly,” Flynn said calmly.
This statement ignited the anger in several people.
“Mr. Carlson, now you’ve witnessed the power of his empty talk. He can turn black into white with his words; his skill is too strong.”
“He can say the Earth is flat, and this trash can argue it’s actually round. His stubbornness is as solid as a rock!”
Corbin glared angrily, remembering the disparaging remarks Flynn made about him yesterday, further fueling his rage.
Tristan shook his head as well, “Young man, you’re still inexperienced. It’s not shameful to run away from the Ten Thousand Insect Curse, but to make excuses afterward is just disgusting.”
“In fact, we didn’t dislike Ms. Sharp that much, but after yesterday’s competition, because of your resentment towards us, our impression of Ms. Sharp has worsened.”
“If you hadn’t been so reckless with your words, we might have advised Mr. Carlson to help Ms. Sharp.”
“Unfortunately, you angered us, so there’s no need for us to assist Ms. Sharp.”
After listening, Flynn was momentarily puzzled and said inexplicably, “Does it matter whether you help Ms. Sharp or not?”
“In other words, whether Mr. Carlson is willing to cooperate with Energence Pharmaceuticals has absolutely no impact on the future of the company.”
“It doesn’t matter because I will take action!”
This statement once again ignited the anger of the crowd.
“Disaster! This guy is a disaster! Rose can’t afford to have subordinates like him! He offends people everywhere!”
“Rose is practically begging Mr. Carlson, and this guy is spouting nonsense. He clearly doesn’t want Energence Pharmaceuticals to succeed!”
Corbin and Tristan both shook their heads, greatly infuriated by Flynn’s arrogance.
“You two are going too far,” Charlie sneered, raising his hand slightly to stop Corbin and Tristan’s accusations, and said lightly, “This young man knows that even if he talks big, I won’t cooperate with Energence Pharmaceuticals, so he’s not afraid to offend me.”
“Let him show off to me, it doesn’t matter.”
After all, he was the number one distributor in the Southern Territory, worth billions. How could he bother with a small-timer?
Just looking at him would lower his status!
Rose frowned, not because Flynn said those words, but because this guy had mentioned finding suppliers for Energence Pharmaceuticals more than once.
At the Ivory Grove Hotel, Flynn even suggested that he would find the Minister of Health in Ostrad, to help him connect with suppliers.
Could he really have such connections?
Just as everyone was pondering, a voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
“Why do you all look so gloomy? What’s wrong? Huh? Mr. Clark!”
Uriah appeared from behind, and upon seeing Flynn, most of his weariness disappeared. He walked towards Flynn with a gleam in his eyes.
“Mr. Clark, you finally came. My father is still sick. I beg you to help my family look at our geomancy!”
The crowd looked puzzled upon hearing this.
“Mr. Wong, this guy is all talk and no substance. Why are you still superstitious about him?”
“This guy lost his temper yesterday, he’s just a fraud. He even said he could slap a Grandmaster to death!”
“That’s right! This guy was talking big yesterday, claiming he could defeat Sullivan, but in the end, when Garrett used the Ten Thousand Insect Curse, this guy ran away fast!”
The crowd chimed in, expressing their disdain for Flynn.
Uriah was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said, “Maybe you all misunderstood. Mr. Clark is a highly capable person. He is Mr. Price’s teacher and is at least a Grandmaster level in martial arts.”
“He does have the ability to defeat Mr. Cox!”
That day, when Flynn and Nathan had a match, he slapped the heavy pear wood table into pieces. He later consulted martial arts experts.
The conclusion was that to shatter such a thick pear wood table with a single slap, one must have at least Grandmaster-level skills.
Sullivan was only a quasi-Grandmaster, so naturally, he was no match for Flynn.
Upon hearing this, everyone was left dumbfounded.
Roman’s master, a Grandmaster?
Roman’s medical skills ranked top three in Ostrad, and he had created countless medical miracles. He was a revered figure among the elite.
Corbin and Charlie, worth billions, didn’t even have the qualification to meet Roman.
This young guy, being Roman’s master?
Once someone became a Grandmaster, they became a dominant figure in their domain.
This young guy, in his twenties, was actually a Grandmaster?!
Rose was also taken aback.
She had always thought that Flynn had brought Roman through other connections, but she never expected him to be Roman’s master?!
And a Grandmaster at that!
Flynn felt a little displeased and shook his head helplessly.
There was no need to mention medical skills. Roman was not even one-tenth as skilled as himself.
As for martial arts, if it were an ordinary person, being called a Grandmaster would be praise, admiration, and awe.
But to Flynn’s ears, it was like being called a high school graduate when he had a doctoral degree.
It was somewhat insulting…
