Chapter: 341
“Wait! I’m not sick, I’m really not! Someone paid me to pretend to be dead!” Realizing his life was at stake, the old man finally revealed the truth with a wail.
“He was paid off?”
“Pretended to be dead?”
As soon as everyone heard this, their faces went red with fury and outrage.
“What a bunch of scammers! How dare you have the audacity to cause trouble here?”
“I can’t believe I felt sorry for you just now. It turns out that you’re all liars!”
“Young man, just chop them up. Trash like them deserves to die!”
After learning the truth, the crowd erupted into chaos. Some of them even threatened to get physical.
“Tell me, who put you up to this?” Dustin held his knife to the old man’s neck.
“I don’t know, we were just paid to do this. We don’t know anything else.” The old man shook his head.
“Please spare us, we won’t do this again.” The middle–aged man spoke up, frightened for his life.
They were just scoundrels who preyed on the weak. Once their true identities were exposed, they lost all their courage.
“Take these troublemakers away!” At Natasha’s command, the two were quickly taken away.
She didn’t need an answer. She already knew who was behind all this.
“Useless idiots!” In the crowd, Edwin snorted coldly and left.
He knew he had lost today. All his schemes had come to nothing.
“It’s over, we’re done for.” Quentin’s face was pale with despair. The initial glimmer of hope was instantly dashed in the blink of an eye.
If Immortunol was successfully launched, how could he sell his Eternumax?
He had put in his entire fortune!
“Dustin, how did you know that the old man was pretending to be dead? I saw that he wasn’t breathing.” Ruth couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“That old man was using a technique called Breath–holding; that’s why he could pretend to be dead. I’m familiar with many of these tricks used by scammers everywhere, it’s not even worth mentioning.” Dustin replied with a faint smile.
“Oh, I see. It’s a good thing you figured it out, or else things would have gone terribly today!” Ruth patted her chest in relief.
“Mr. Rhys, you are indeed amazing. You exposed the deception of those two ruffians effortlessly! My admiration for you is immeasurable!” At that moment, Malcolm came over to flatter Dustin.
Just sitting there quietly wasn’t really his thing.
“Dr. Shane, he just stumbled upon the solution by chance. How can you lower yourself to his level?” Jessica gave Dustin a cold glance before smiling at Dr. Shane.
