Chapter 480 The Untouchable Person

You have to understand that Joshua's Healthy Land is conducting its business in New York inpartnership with TMO. With that in mind, Pork was convinced that Joshua knew Daniel because ofJessica! So, in Pork's eyes, the country boy remained nothing more than that—an unworthy, filthycountry boy boastful because of a woman’s connections.

Joshua, being the smart old man that he was, immediately understood what Pork had been talkingabout. It turned out the whole debate was about a bet with Pork. He quickly turned to Daniel andexclaimed, "Master, now can I finally openly call you 'Master'?"

Joshua's words shocked everyone present like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky. Avery was thefirst to snap out of it, and she looked at Joshua in disbelief, asking, "Joshua, what did you just callthis country boy?"

"He's not a country boy; he is my Master! The medical skills of my Master can only be described asdivine. I’ve never respected anyone as much as I respect him in my entire life!"

Joshua's declaration dumbfounded Avery. She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

Beside her, Pork was completely taken aback. Even though Joshua had already addressed Danielas 'Master,' he refused to believe it. He suspected this was just an act, that Daniel had hired anactor to play Joshua.

So, Pork let out a cold sneer, and his confidence quickly returned. "Joshua, I know your HealthyLand has expanded operations into New York and has a partnership with TMO. So it's true, you doknow this country fellow. But even if you know him, you shouldn't be playing along with his act,right?

I understand that The Grants might rank at the end among New York's The Eight Families, justbarely making it into the group. But calling a country boy 'Master,' aren’t you belittling yourself?

Aren’t you tarnishing the reputation of The Grants?

With the way you just acted, how could you face The Grants' ancestors in heaven? If word gets outyou took a country boy as 'Master,' aren't you afraid of The Grants becoming a laughing stock?"

Pork's mockery visibly darkened Joshua's mood. However, instead of lashing out at Pork, Joshuaturned to Avery. "Is this the way The Matthews raises their younger generation?"

Avery, a woman who knew propriety, also knew that The Grants, as part of The Eight Families, werenot merely for show; they had real power. Even being at the bottom of that elite list, The Grantswere not a family that anyone could afford to slight without consequence.

"Pork, apologize to Joshua right this moment! What are you saying?"

Though Pork was reluctant inside, he dared not disobey Avery's command. Angry as she might be,she could genuinely lash out at him. A wise man does not fight when he’s at a disadvantage; underAvery's stern gaze, Pork hastened to bow to Joshua.

"I'm sorry, Joshua!"

"Forget it! I can't be bothered to argue with a younger person," Joshua dismissed, then turned toDaniel and asked, "Master, what did you call me here for?"

Daniel pointed to Kind on the hospital bed and asked, "Do you think you can treat this patient'scondition?"
