The Great Medical Saint

Matthew coldly remarked, "Everyone at the company believes that cutting down the number of executives is the key to boosting productivity and turning things around financially. Firing you will only make Silvaris Pharmaceuticals better."

Eliel glared at Matthew. "Who said so? Step forward."noveldrama

Before Matthew could respond, Judson came forward and shouted, "It was me! I'm right here."

Judson felt emotional about the whole thing with 200 executives in Silvaris Pharmaceuticals. Just stepping forward got him worked up. The issue felt like a thorn in his heart, and it was hard to bear.

He was fed up with watching Silvaris Pharmaceuticals go downhill, but there was nothing he could do.

After bottling up this sentiment for too long, he had a deep-seated hatred for the freeloaders in the office.

On that day, Judson had set his mind to either get rid of the deadweights at Silvaris Pharmaceuticals or just walk away. So, he was willing to put everything on the line.

When Eliel spotted Judson, a look of disdain crossed his face. He couldn't be bothered to speak to Judson and just turned to Matthew.

"He's just a regular worker and practically a nobody. I could make him lose his job with just my word.

"Are you really going out of your way for such a trivial person? Do you even realize what that could mean for you?"

When Eliel finished speaking, the square fell into dead silence.

Judson quietly fixed his gaze on Matthew. Since he stood up to support Matthew, what Matthew said now was critical.

Below the stage, 300 workers had their eyes on Matthew. Some looked indifferent, some had a glimmer of hope in their eyes, some looked serious, and others looked blank.

Meanwhile, the executives all sported a strange expression.

Facing Eliel, Matthew had to consider the fallout from upsetting Eliel's brother-in- law with anything he said. If the electricity company cut off the power supply, how was Silvaris Pharmaceuticals supposed to keep running?

Matthew nonchalantly replied, "Getting rid of a pest like you will only mean Silvaris Pharmaceuticals will get better."

This bastard! Eliel's expression darkened. Matthew had crossed the line by calling him a pest in front of everyone in the factory.

"How dare you mess with me? You're going to regret this."

Matthew scoffed. "I'd regret it if I held back on you."

Eliel gritted his teeth. "Fine. Just you wait. I'll show you what happens when you cross me."

With that, he yelled at the people below the stage. "Mortimer, Eustace, Horatio, and everyone else. If you have any serious connections, what are you waiting for? Start dialing. We need to teach him a lesson for messing with us."

The executives pulled out their phones and started making calls.

"Hello. Remember how you helped us get the water running at the factory? Now they're biting the hands that feed them and want to fire me. Can you revert the state of water supply?"

"Hi. Isn't the wirings at Silvaris Pharmaceuticals getting old? Shouldn't we arrange an inspection soon?"

"Uncle Marvin..."

The sounds of different phone calls blended together, buzzing like mad.

Standing nearby, the workers watched the scene unfold with their faces drained of color. Each of them looked downcast and defeated.

A hint of despair flashed in Judson's eyes. He thought even if the executives wanted to stir things up, they'd do it behind the scenes.

Who would've thought they were so shameless? They made calls without a care in front of everyone, having no dignity left.

A chill ran down Judson's spine as he muttered to Matthew, "Forget it. We can't win against the big shots. This is too much for you. Just go ahead and fire me."

Looking cold as ice, Matthew stayed quiet and watched the crowd. He didn't respond to Judson's words.

Realizing he was being abandoned, Judson turned and walked away in despair. However, he had barely taken a step when Matthew grabbed his arm.

"Hold on."

Judson was taken by surprise. Given the pressure from all these people with solid connections, Matthew still wanted him to stay.

Even though he was touched by the gesture, he understood Matthew's circumstances. "It's fine. If you let me go, at least you have a way out. If you want to keep me around..."

After saying that, Judson trailed off without finishing his sentence.

Keeping Judson around would mean Matthew and Tracy had to clash with the influential figures head-on. There'd be no room for negotiation, and it'd be a losing battle.

Matthew was somewhat taken aback. He didn't expect Judson to cave in at such a crucial moment.

He patted Judson's shoulder. "You don't have to go anywhere. As long I'm still around, you're safe."

Judon looked at Matthew in a daze. A wave of warmth washed over him. "They're way too powerful. You can't take them on."
