Chapter - 99

Daniel was about to greet Liam George when he remembered he still needed to keep Evan company. He was stumped.

Evan seemed to have noticed Daniel’s worries so he said, “Mr. Hinton, feel free to go greet them. I can manage myself.”

Daniel nodded and then trotted towards Liam George, “Oh… Mr. George, welcome! What brings you here?”

Liam was modest in demeanor as he shook hands with Daniel, “Mr. Hinton, I hope you won’t mind me showing up uninvited.”

Daniel quickly responded, “Of course not! Mr. George, it’s an honour to have you here. Please, do come in.”

Liam smiled faintly, “No hurry. Lewis, fetch me the gift.”

His secretary brought over an inscribed board. “Mr. Hinton, here is a gift for your grand opening.”

The words ‘Humanity Clinic’ were engraved on the board with “Industrial and Commercial Bureau” clearly carved at the bottom.

It was an authorized recognition by the state government that could build his reputation.

Daniel was thrilled. He could hardly contain himself because he knew clearly that a good reputation was of the utmost importance to a clinic.

Liam George handed Daniel a pennant as a sign of honour. “Mr. Hinton, this is a little gift from me.”

Daniel accepted it with his trembling hands, “Mr. George, I… I… Ermm… please come in.”

Daniel was at a loss of words when he received the inscribed board and the pennant.

Zeke reminded him, “Dad, you forgot our clinic has been shut down.”

What? How dare someone shut down the clinic of the Great Marshal!

Liam George’s face turned pale as he glanced at the entrance of the clinic.

Then, he asked, “Mr. Hinton, who shut your clinic down?”

Daniel replied, “Section chief Wilber from the Drug Administration. He said that our controlled-drugs were not registered, but I’m sure I did complete the registration procedures.”

“Wilber? I have no memory of this person, but Leo Kingston, the director of the Drug Administration will be arriving soon.” Liam assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll ask him to check on his subordinate officers. He should have kept an eye on the integrity of his subordinates.”

Soon, another two groups of people arrived. Among them was Dylan Dickson, the head of the Merwin District Police Station.

Daniel would fret if he met Dylan Dickson on any other days, but not today.

He managed to grip his composure when he saw Dylan Dickson after meeting big shots like Liam George and Evan Schneider.

Dylan was astute enough to walk behind them as one of their entourage after he greeted Daniel.

The other group of people was led by Leo Kingston, the director of the Drug Administration.

Daniel swallowed his greetings when Evan suddenly reproached Leo. “Leo, how dare you show up.”

Liam too bombarded him, “Look at what you’ve done today! You’re so disappointing.”

Leo was bewildered. “Erm… Are you guys not satisfied with the opening gift I’ve brought? Actually, I’ve prepared another…”

Liam interrupted him, “It’s nothing to do with your opening gift. It’s your subordinate officer, Wilber! He has shut Mr. Hinton’s clinic down.”

What?

Leo was infuriated, “Wilber! He’s such an idiot! II have confirmed that there’s no issue with Mr. Hinton’s registration before I came. How dare he shut down Mr. Hinton’s clinic!”
