Facing everyone’s ridicule, Elder Hansen didn’t feel embarrassed, but just politely said, “It’s not me joining this time, it’s Mr. Smith.” After speaking, Elder Hansen looked at Ethan Smith beside him.
Seeing this, the old men couldn’t help but laugh.
“Elder Hansen, has River City run out of people? They found a kid to participate. ”
“That’s right, alchemy is all about experience. What can a child do?” Elder Hansen looked a bit awkward, but said nothing.
Clearly, he had grown accustomed to the ridicule from everyone.
“Elder Hansen, don’t worry about them. These old scallions are not worth mentioning.” Ethan Smith smiled and comforted.
Although the voice was not loud, it fell into everyone’s ears.
The old men were outraged and scolded, “Boy, we are your elders, is this how you talk to your elders?!”
Ethan Smith glanced at them and said indifferently, “Some people like to suppress others with their age. So if you’re older, you’re right? You can talk nonsense just because you’re older? If you’re virtuous, I’ll respect you, but if you’re not, sorry, you’re nothing to me.”
A few words made these people red-faced and embarrassed.
“Little brat, from what you just said, it’s clear that you have no real skills!”
Ethan laughed coldly: “Old Thing, I give that remark right back to you.”
“You!” A few people were furious, their faces turning ashen, but they had nothing to say.
“Don’t bother arguing with them.” Elder Hansen whispered to Ethan Smith.
Though he said that, it was clear that Elder Hansen felt quite satisfied.
He had been ridiculed by these people for many years, and now Ethan Smith could help him fight back. How could Elder Hansen not be pleased.
Afterward, Elder Hansen took Ethan Smith to a place to sit down and wait for the arrival of the Traditional Medicine Association.
Ethan Smith looked around and couldn’t help but frown.
It was usually deserted here, but the decorations were extremely extravagant, which made Ethan Smith somewhat suspicious.
Was the decline of traditional medicine really related to these people’s inaction?
“Now these people are just trying to make money. They only care about their own wallets, not anything else.” Elder Hansen seemed to see Ethan Smith’s doubts and said on the side.
Ethan Smith nodded slightly, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The human heart is ancient indeed.
Ethan checked his watch and it was already four o’clock in the afternoon.
“Didn’t they say the registration time was at two o’clock? They’re already two hours late.” Ethan muttered.
Elder Hansen said with a bitter smile, “You’ll get used to it, they’re very high and mighty.”
As they were speaking, the door opened.
Then they saw a young man coming in from the outside.
He was full of alcohol, swaying as he walked, obviously drunk.
When they saw this young man, the old men quickly stood up and greeted him courteously, ” Mr. Levy, you’ve arrived.”
The young man, called Mr. Levy, ignored them. He swaggered to the sofa and sat down.
Then he said with some impatience, “The forms are on the table. Take them and fill them out.”
“Alright, Mr. Levy!” The old men quickly took the forms and started filling them out.
Seeing this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
This Mr. Levy was younger than Ethan Smith, yet these old men treated him with full respect, completely disregarding seniority. It was indeed quite a double standard.
“Let’s go, we should also get the forms.” Elder Hansen told Ethan Smith.
Ethan Smith nodded, he was originally intending to get the Hundred-year medicinal material anyway, so he didn’t bother with these people.
After picking up the form, Ethan quickly filled in his relevant information and placed it on the table.
“Is this enough?” Ethan Smith asked Elder Hansen. Elder Hansen nodded, “It’s fine, let’s go.”
Ethan Smith gave a hum and turned around to leave.
Just as they reached the door, the door was opened.
Then they saw Dorian Dawson standing outside the door.
Seeing Dorian Dawson, Ethan Smith was taken aback.
“And Dorian Dawson stood there, looking at Ethan Smith and sneered, “What are you doing here?”
Before Ethan Smith could answer, Dorian Dawson suddenly realized and said, “I know now, you’re here to participate in the Traditional Medicine Conference, right?”
“Chairman Dawson, do you know Ethan Smith?” Elder Hansen asked aside.
Dorian Dawson sneered, “Know him? Not only do I know him, but we also have a substantial history.”
Ethan Smith’s brow furrowed slightly, and he thought to himself that this was bad.
As expected, Dorian Dawson walked to the table, picked up Ethan Smith’s application form and took a glance.
Then, he tore the form to pieces and threw it on the ground.
“I’m sorry, you’re not qualified to participate in the Traditional Medicine Conference.” Dorian Dawson said lightly.
As soon as his words fell, Elder Hansen immediately became anxious.
He rushed forward and hurriedly said, “Chairman Dawson, why is Ethan not qualified to participate? I submitted his information before, and they were very satisfied with his qualifications…”
Dorian drank a sip of tea and casually said, “No reason, just because he’s offended me.”
Such blatant reasoning surprised Ethan Smith.
Elder Hansen’s face changed instantly, and he stood there, somewhat at a loss.
Dorian Dawson walked up to Ethan Smith and sneered, “Ethan Smith, do you remember what I said to vou? You will eventuallv bec me for something!” After that, Dorian Dawson leaned back with his hands crossed and said with a sense of pride, “Come on, beg me, I might be able to let you participate in the Traditional Medicine Conference.”
“Beg you?” Ethan raised his eyebrows, “Who do you think you are?”
Dorian’s face changed, he sneered, “You’re really stubborn! In that case, you can leave now. We don’t welcome you at our Traditional Medicine Conference!”
The old men nearby also shouted, “He deserves it! This kind of person shouldn’t be allowed to participate!”
“Get the hell out, you little bastard!”
Facing everyone’s curses, Ethan Smith remained silent.
Elder Hansen on the side was extremely anxious, he rushed to Dorian Dawson and said with a bit of pleading, “Chairm.. Chairman Dawson, Ethan Smith is still young, don’t mind him…”
“Hehe, as long as he’s willing to beg me, I can consider it, but he’s just not willing.” Dorian Dawson sneered.
Elder Hansen was extremely anxious, he returned to Ethan Smith’s side and whispered, “When you’re under someone else’s roof, you have to bow your head. Ethan, why don’t you apologize to him…”
“Apologize to him? Why should I apologize to a piece of shit?” Ethan Smith sneered.
“You heard him?” Dorian Dawson scoffed, “Get the hell out of here!” Ethan Smith snorted, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Just then, Ethan’s phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Declan Steele.
Ethan answered the call and said, “Mr. Steele, what’s up?”
On the other end, Declan spoke excitedly, “Mr. Smith, do you remember what the Deputy Chief said last time? She said she could give you a spot in the finals, and now the spot has come through. Where are you? I can bring it to you!”
Hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
He told Declan the address, then hung up the phone.
Dorian Dawson looked at Ethan Smith coldly and said, “What? Changed your mind?”
Ethan shook his head and smiled faintly, “I’m sorry, I don’t need to beg you. Because I have been admitted..”
