Chapter 218: Money and Power?
"Noah caused trouble?"
Noah shook his head. "I didn't cause trouble. It was you who were unreasonable first. We paid in advance, so why are we being put second for treatment?"
"The hospital director, Mr. Song, brought her father here for treatment, that's why I let this kid go second," Zachary spoke up.
"Mr. Davis!"
Brandon's gaze shifted to the woman, and he immediately smiled.
"Since Mr. Davis is here, it is only natural that he be given priority and go first."
Mr. Song is a wealthy man with several jewelry stores under his name, so of course, he should be treated seriously.
Then, Brandon looked at Noah again.
"Kid, if I say you go second, you go second. If you don't want to, then refund the money and get lost. Our hospital doesn't lack patients!"
Noah furrowed his brows. He didn't expect the hospital director to be so superficial.
"Young man, that's the benefit of being wealthy," the woman said, looking smugly at Noah. "Wherever there is money, you will receive special treatment. Why would anyone put you, a poor boy without money or power, first?"
"Exactly!"
Zachary nodded and sneered at Noah. "Kid, it seems like you lack social experience. Let me teach you a lesson. In this society, those with money and power will naturally receive special treatment."
"Hope you learn a lesson from today's incident. Right now, you have two choices: either wait in line or refund the money and leave!"
Brandon stood by silently, coldly watching Noah without saying a word.
"Noah..." Grace bit her lip and spoke up, "Let's just go second."
Noah rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"Money and power?"
"I originally wanted to reason with you without using money or power to suppress you, but you don't know how to appreciate it and look down on people."
"To compare with me in terms of money and power, you really don't know your place!"
"Heh, kid, do you think you have some background?" Brandon sneered.
"Even if you do have a background, so what? I am the hospital director, and I hold the greatest authority here. Even if heaven itself comes, it won't make a difference!"
"Director, Kevin has arrived!" Suddenly, a voice came from outside.
"Kevin!"
Brandon and Zachary's expressions both changed, becoming more serious.
"Quickly, bring him in!" Brandon immediately said.
This Kevin, named Kevin, is from the prestigious Benson Family in Oceanbridge City.
He holds a high position in the Benson Family and is in charge of the relationships between the Benson Family and the suppliers and distributors.
St. Mary's Hospital was able to acquire the rare metal radiation therapy equipment because of Kevin. The equipment was priced at ten million dollars. Royal Hospital purchased the equipment from Kevin at a thirty percent discount. The purchase contract had two conditions. First, The Benson Family would receive forty percent of the profit from any radiation therapy using the rare metal radiation therapy equipment. Second, The Benson Family had the right to reclaim the rare metal radiation therapy equipment under any circumstance. Therefore, Kevin had to be treated with respect. If he became displeased and reclaimed the equipment to be used in other hospitals in Oceanbridge City, their hospital would suffer a huge loss.
Footsteps could be heard and soon a middle-aged man entered. The man was wearing a suit and had a proud expression, completely disregarding others. This person was Kevin.
"Kevin!"
"Kevin!"
Brandon and Zachary immediately showed a respectful expression and lowered their heads when they saw Kevin.
"Hmm."
Kevin nodded, his face still filled with arrogance. He now had the capital to be proud! It should be noted that The Benson Family held rare metals, and all the hospitals in Starlight City would nod and bow to The Benson Family, hoping they could introduce the radiation therapy equipment made from the rare metals into their hospitals. And Kevin held the power to decide which hospital to introduce it to. So naturally, his status had risen. Therefore, every day, hospital representatives would come to give him delicious food and drinks, send money, and give him jewelry, hoping he would introduce the rare metal radiation therapy equipment. The current status of The Benson Family was not only prominent in Oceanbridge City but also in the entire Starlight City. Many people secretly speculated that in the next ten years, The Benson Family had a high possibility of becoming a prestigious family.
"The radiation therapy equipment has already been introduced to your hospital. I came here this time to see how effective it is," Kevin said in an indifferent tone, not even looking at the crowd.
"Kevin, you've come at the perfect time. We're about to perform radiation therapy for a patient," Brandon immediately smiled and said, "The result will be available soon. However, Kevin, you need to wait a little while. We need to first remove an irritating person."
After saying that, Brandon looked towards Noah.
"Kid, you've run out of chances now, get lost quickly and stop embarrassing yourself in front of me! If you don't leave, I'll call security!"
"Huh? What's going on? Is someone causing trouble in the hospital?" Kevin frowned.
Zachary's eyelid twitched, afraid that Kevin would be unhappy. He immediately said,
"It's not really causing trouble, just a clown trying to show off in front of the crowd! He's just a poor kid with no money, yet he thinks he can receive treatment for free! We asked him to line up and behave, but he refused to listen. This kind of person disrupts the order in the hospital. We were about to kick him out, it'll be done soon!"
As he said this, Zachary pointed at Noah with his finger:
"Kevin, it's this kid."
Kevin looked in the direction pointed by Zachary, still with a proud expression on his face.
However, when he saw the young man in front of him, Kevin was stunned. His whole body trembled, and the arrogance on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of shock.
"Noah!"
He blurted out.
Kevin didn't expect to meet Noah here!
Who is Noah?
Kevin naturally knew.
The Benson Family's fierce development now was all because of the rare metal sent by this young man.
Moreover, this young man had a terrifying background and was ruthless. That day in the hall of the Benson Family's headquarters, even the family head Kyle and the former family head Sea were kneeling in front of him, kowtowing repeatedly!
More importantly, Noah was now the mastermind behind the entire Benson Family.
He was also Kevin's real boss!
And now, it seemed like this St. Mary's Hospital wanted to kick Noah out?
Thinking of this, a chill appeared in Kevin's eyes.
"Kevin, do you know this kid?"
Seeing Kevin's expression, Brandon and Zachary looked puzzled.
"This handsome young man is the person you just said was causing trouble and that you wanted to kick out of the hospital?"
Kevin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the storm in his heart.
"Yes, that's right!"
Brandon smirked and said, "Kevin, wait a moment, I'll call security right now! Security! Security!"
He shouted loudly.
"Nonsense, this is simply nonsense!"
Kevin shouted with a cold gaze at Brandon.
"Brandon, starting from now, I'm taking back the rare metal treatment equipment from your hospital!"
