Chapter 491 The Martial Artist Appearing Beside Jennifer
The person who said this was none other than Lester's father, Clayton.
His face was clouded with gloom, and his eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent. In his heart, James was already a dead man.
Clayton had only one son, Lester, who was supposed to inherit his estate. But now, Lester had been brutally beaten to death without leaving an heir.
Especially after he saw the video recorded at the scene, showing the humiliation, torture, and tragic death of his son, as his hatred reached its peak.
In fact, he had long wanted to take action. If it weren't for Dominic stopping him, James would already be a corpse by now.
Now that he heard James was no longer the heir of the Smith family, his first reaction was to realize that Alistair must have abandoned James to protect the Smith family. After all, the Smith family was not what it was five years ago.
Such a good opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip by.
Dominic said, "Clayton, don't worry, Lester's death will be avenged. Alistair stripping James of his heir status at this time must be part of his scheme. We need to investigate thoroughly and not fall into Alistair's trap. I bet Alistair is just waiting for us to go after James."
"We should send the family's top fighters to assassinate James and be done with it!" Clayton said unwillingly, unable to wait any longer.
Another member of the Percy family said, "As far as I know, James is extremely skilled in martial arts. Even Eli doesn't dare to act rashly in front of him. I predict that James might have already reached the third stage of martial arts."
"That's impossible!" Clayton immediately dismissed the idea, saying, "How old is James? He can't have reached the third stage of martial arts! In the entire City of Mysteries, only Maurice and Neil have reached that level. In our family, only a few have reached that stage. At most, James is at the second stage. As long as we send our top fighters, we can definitely kill him and avenge Lester!"
Clayton said through gritted teeth.
Dominic said, "Wait a bit longer; we must act cautiously. Clayton, I know you're anxious, but this can't be rushed. Alistair is not someone to be trifled with. Alright, it's decided. I will avenge Lester."
Dominic waved his hand, finalizing the matter.
Clayton lowered his head as his eyes filled with unwillingness.
It had been half a month since James returned to the capital. In just half a month, he had successfully shaken the City of Mysteries, making the name James remembered by everyone once again.
On this day, after bidding farewell to his parents, James quietly embarked on his journey back to Lindwood City.
James had nothing left to hold onto in the City of Mysteries. The only thing he couldn't let go of was his mother, Erin. So before leaving, he specifically asked his father, Saxon, to take good care of Erin and advised Erin to be more vigilant and not let Caroline bully her.
Returning to Lindwood City again, James felt very relaxed, a completely different feeling from the City of Mysteries.
This time, James didn't tell Jennifer about his return, planning to give her a surprise.
After getting out of the airport, he went straight to the Hall of Benevolent Medicine.
As soon as he got out of the taxi, he saw the Hall of Benevolent Medicine surrounded by the crowd, with a commotion coming from the crowd.
"I told you domestic medicine is poor! Look at this, someone died because of it."
"I don't know if domestic medicine is good or not, but the Hall of Benevolent Medicine is definitely no good, especially their boss Jennifer. She's so pretty, she must be a prostitute. How could she know anything about medicine?"
"Yeah, I've lived for decades and never seen a doctor as pretty as her. She must be relying on her looks and knows nothing about medicine, just opening a clinic to make money."
"Nowadays, anyone can be a doctor."
"Exactly, and now they've caused a problem."
James frowned upon hearing these voices. 'What's going on? Hasn't the Hall of Benevolent Medicine cured many people recently and gained a good reputation? How could this happen?' James thought.
James quickly scurried over and saw three people lying at the entrance of the Hall of Benevolent Medicine. Each of them had a pale face, devoid of any color, and was weakly groaning, looking like they were on the verge of death.
Everyone from the Hall of Benevolent Medicine had come out, all looking anxious, including Jennifer, who was very tense and frowning.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The medicine prescribed by the Hall of Benevolent Medicine is definitely safe. Our pharmaceuticals have all passed rigorous national standards and are genuine products," Jennifer declared loudly.
But no one believed her. Someone in the crowd deliberately stirred things up, leading everyone to start condemning her and the Hall of Benevolent Medicine.
"It's all your fault! Now you're still trying to distort the truth! My husband started having problems after taking the medicine prescribed by the Hall of Benevolent Medicine. It's only been a day, and he's already in critical condition. I'm telling you, the medicine was prescribed by the Hall of Benevolent Medicine. Now that his health has deteriorated, you can't escape responsibility!"
"Yeah, my husband also started having problems after taking the Hall of Benevolent Medicine's medicine."
"Same here."
"Call the police and let them handle it!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Immediately, everyone started clamoring to call the police.
Jennifer's face changed upon hearing this, becoming even more flustered. She hurriedly said, "Don't call the police! If it really is a problem with our medicine, we will definitely give everyone an explanation! The most important thing now is to save the people."
Unfortunately, her voice seemed so weak and powerless in this situation.
Several other employees of the Hall of Benevolent Medicine also tried to help Jennifer, but it was to no avail.
James frowned and was about to step forward when, at that moment, a handsome man walked out from the crowd, stood in front of Jennifer, and said loudly, "Everyone, quiet down and listen to me!"
His voice was so loud that it drowned out the voices of dozens of people at the scene, making everyone feel shocked. The noisy environment suddenly quieted down.
Everyone looked at him with some fear.
James paused, narrowing his eyes.
Others might not know, but he could tell at a glance that this man was a martial artist.
And not just any martial artist, but one who had reached the peak of the first stage.
Actually, this level of martial artist was far inferior to James. But in a small place like Lindwood City, having a martial artist, especially one speaking up for Jennifer, was unusual.
James had been married to Jennifer for five years and had never seen this man before.
