Chapter 382 Cover the Sky with One Hand
What did he just say?
Did he really believe that these three dog tail types of grass were unexpectedly going to give the field of medicine a breakthrough for the treatment of eye diseases?
When people heard this sentence from him, they could not calm down again. They started talking amongst themselves and questioned the truth to what he said. They could not believe what they just heard.
It's like a big joke.
These were the same weeds that can be seen everywhere. They have been seeing it by the roadside, or by the flower pond. They were ugly and inconspicuous. They were so insignificant and yet this man believed that they could cure diseases.
"What kind of sorcery is this? A grass can be used as medicine?"
"Anyone who believes this man? This is nothing but folk prescription!"
"Well, if a grass can be used as a medicine, then could an ordinary dung beetle be also a medicine?"
"Listen to these people. I could not believe how much skepticism they all have." Leon Williams sneered. "They call a dung beetle ordinary. Did they not know that it can really be used as a medicine?"
The truth was dung beetle can help in calming down our nerves, breaking blood stasis, defecating, and attacking poison. It can also be used for the treatment of eclampsia, symptoms of madness, choking, nausea, abdominal constipation, and so on. It worked a lot.
"What a bunch of ignorant idiots who don't understand the importance of what I've just shared with them."
Leon Williams decided to leave. He was not here because he wanted to celebrate Owen Wibowo's birthday. He had a different reason. Not to mention that he had a lot of work to do and didn't want to waste too much time with a bunch of idiots.
When he was about to get up, Doreen relentlessly questioned, "What now? Are you planning to get a forged work permit to continue with this medical breakthrough? Go ahead and do that. But I have to warn you, I am a Texas barrister. That means that I am an expert in law. If and only if I decided to sue you, I can guarantee you that you will not be able to get out from there in three or five years!"
"Feel free to sue me, I am not scared. And a piece of advice, don't always warn people with your status as a barrister. The truth is that there were already three people who used that title to pressure and harass me, and guess what happened to them, they were all disbarred, thanks to me. How much better do you think you can do than them? Do you seriously think you are any different?"
Leon Williams was not afraid of Doreen's threat at all, even though Doreen was the number one lawyer in Texas. Sure, she had strong connections, but in Leon Williams' eyes, she was nothing but a lowly bug.
Doreen was flushed with fury. In fact, she was even angrier when she heard everything that Leon Williams said.
The meaning of Leon Williams' words could only be understood by Doreen herself.
The three people Leon Williams mentioned who he said always pretended that they were Doreen in order to oppressed people were her stepbrothers and stepsister.
This thought undoubtedly aroused Doreen's even more exasperated anger, and her face became gloomier. The look in her eyes suggested that she was secretly wishing she could kill a man at that moment.
Admittedly, she did not care so much about the Young family. After all, Belle Young is only her father's mistress, not her original mother.
From there, she realized that the real reason for her anger was that Leon Williams was challenging her authority.
What right did Leon Williams have? Doreen was a Texas lawyer. She was a capable disciple of Magee Rossetti who was a very famous barrister in the north at that time. She was competent and she was now about to be offended by a young man!
She can't swallow that!
"Leon Williams! This account! Be sure to figure it out today!"
Doreen gritted her teeth and hate overflowed in her heart.
Owen Wibowo, the host of this birthday party, saw that Leon Williams and Doreen were starting to get hostile. It was obvious that the atmosphere between them was so tensed that his face turned sour.
He knew that he needed to control the scene before anything unfortunate happened.
"Hey guys, can you please stop quarreling? Today is my birthday party. Give your reconciliation to me as a gift. If you two go on like this, you are seriously going to spoil my happiness."
Owen Wibowo stopped the argument between Leon Williams and Doreen first, then he turned to Leon Williams, and warned solemnly, "I know you have a good relationship with my grandfather and sister, but this is my birthday party. If you dare to fool me with a few sage miracle and healing pitch again, you will not walk out this door alive today!"
In the eyes of Owen Wibowo, the status of Leon Williams was still much worse than that of Doreen's. In addition, he knew that Leon Williams was likely to split part of the Wibowo family's property in the future, so he felt that it was just right and natural for him to target Leon Williams.
"I was about to go. And if it gives you solace, I never wanted to stay at all!" Leon Williams immediately responded coldly.
"Leon Williams, you are so arrogant!"
Owen Wibowo was full of anger. It was very evident on his face. He was an advocate of martial arts and at that time, he felt that this was the kind of humiliation that merits a showcase of his prowess. But for some reason, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
He remembered how Leon Williams abused him and Thomas in the past. He knew very well that he was no match for Leon Williams at all, and the truth was that it was difficult to keep up with Leon Williams.
Seeing that the situation was getting tenser, Sucyanti Wibowo quickly mediated the igniting tension between Leon Williams and his brother.
"Owen, why do you have to listen to Doreen? For whatever it is worth, I don't think Doreen has the purest intentions. If you ask me, she seems to have a grudge against Leon Williams. Haven't you noticed that she repeatedly sows discord between the two of you?" Sucyanti Wibowo said bluntly, not minding whether Doreen would be offended or not.
Doreen looked offended indeed. Her face turned upside down. However, she knew that she couldn't dare to upset the Wibowo family's daughter because of how she looked and how she reacted to what the latter just said.
Yes, she was the barrister of the four great families in Texas. But among these four, only the Wibowo Family and the Carter Family have maintained their strength and power. And she knew very well that Indra Wibowo adores her granddaughter, Sucyanti Wibowo, very much.
"I think Miss Sucyanti Wibowo misunderstood me. I was just talking about what happened earlier and how it relates to witchcraft. Witchcraft, for me, is very metaphysical, and many of them have no scientific basis. In my opinion, Leon Williams's use of a grass to cure diseases is a folk prescription with very low credibility. This is commonly used in ancient heroes running around the world. It is a bluff method, don't you think? I encourage you Miss Sucyanti Wibowo to also look into that and consider what I was suggesting."
As a lawyer, Doreen was very eloquent and persuasive. Of course, she knew that there was a way to confuse the public and she did exactly that.
In an instant, Leon Williams looked at Doreen coldly and calculatedly.
"Such an amazing display of ignorance! Witchcraft and Western medicine are both science! Didn't you know that witchcraft, no matter how absolutely useless you think it is, protected the USA for a hundred years?"
"Is that so? Then tell me, what disease can be cured by Setaria Angustifolia? It is even funny when I say the name." Doreen's eyes were full of disdain.
"I challenge you to study the powder of dog tail grass. See, if you take it with a steamed lamb's liver, it can help relieve fever and swelling. If you match that with my secret medicine, I can guarantee you that it can cure eye diseases!"
Leon Williams was very confident about his medical skills. He was the closest disciple of Liana, the first female doctor of the USA.
"That is absolutely ridiculous. If dog tail grass with lamb's liver can cure an eye disease like you're claiming now, then everyone can be a doctor. In which case, why does a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner like you keeps bragging? Anyone can get the medicine from anywhere." Doreen sneered.
"It sounds simple, yes. But this I can guarantee you; a few grams of dog's-tail grass and a few grams of the mutton liver is not as easily prepared as you think. I bet you can't handle it at all. See, one less gram won't work, and one more gram can kill you!" Leon Williams gave everyone listening to him a cold look.
"Presumptuous! Leon Williams, you are so annoyingly arrogant. With my contacts, I can play with you in the palm of my hand!"
Doreen finally stopped pretending and let out the threat.
"A mere lawyer, no matter how famous she is, can never make Texas do everything she wants."
Leon Williams did not budge at all.
"Even if she can't make the whole Texas do everything she wants, she can still make half of it follow her." Doreen snapped.
"Come on, who told you to use the Young family? If you don't talk about it now, I will make sure to mobilize all of my contacts so that you won't have a choice but to leave Texas." Doreen insisted.
She still thought that Leon Williams was sent by her enemies to seek revenge. But the truth was that she was just thinking too much about it. Leon Williams did not care about her at all. For him, she played such a small role in what he was here for.
"Oh, you said that those three losers were simply asking for trouble. Don't always bluff with how strong you are. After today, you will disappear!" Doreen continued relentlessly.
Doreen was very confident in the strength of his contacts. However, Leon Williams seemed to be unmoved by her words and her threats.
At this time, Leon Williams had made up his mind to leave. He most certainly did not want to stay there any longer. In his mind, he had more important things to do. He wanted to find out the whereabouts of John himself.
Leon Williams got up and tried to go, but Owen Wibowo held out his hand and stopped him. With a cold look on his face, the latter said in a solemn voice, "This is not a public toilet. You cannot come, anytime you want to come. And most certainly, you cannot go, anytime you want to go."
"I am Leon Williams. If I want to leave, no one can stop me!"
Boom!
Leon Williams was full of momentum and power, his eyes appeared murderous.
Owen Wibowo, who once played Carter family, felt intimidated by Leon Williams' murderous momentum.
He stood where he was, hesitant as if his body suddenly froze. He wanted to retaliate but he suppressed the impulse.
Doreen was not as wise.
"Leon Williams, get down on your knees and bow to me right now. Do that or I'll make your life a living hell!"
Up to this point, Doreen was still unrepentant. She was too confident, thinking that she has more power over Leon Williams because of her contacts. She thought that she was effective in casually punishing and scaring Leon Williams away from Texas through her connections.
What she didn't know was that Leon Williams was the city's only person who had the power to cover the sky with one hand!
Leon Williams did not hesitate to let out a punch.
