For a moment, everyone became sympathetic, and they turned their eyes to Fade.
Although they were silent, Fade still understood what their gazes meant.
It was as if they were saying, "Fade, you are a young man. How shameless you are to compete with Master Pai. After all, Master Pai needs the herb to cure his son."
Some soft- hearted women stared at Fade with bright eyes, as if they would not give up until he sold the Dragon Root to Otto.
In such a situation, Fade frowned.
It was not that he didn't want to help Otto, but the attitude of those people was really too much.
It was due to the fact that Otto was a kind person, and he helped them a lot in the past. Therefore, right then, as Otto was in trouble, they had to help Otto to return the favor. Those kinds of people who tried to take advantage of other people disgusted Fade.
In addition, there was not much Dragon Root to spare. Moreover, Fade was going to use it on his wife, Quin. Therefore, Fade wouldn't even be willing to sell a quarter of it to Otto.
Fade's hesitant expression made those people even more indignant at that moment. One by one, they stared at Fade furiously.
Calvin was so happy when he saw that Fade was reluctant to sell a small part of the Dragon Root to Otto. He began to satirize him, "President Chen you are such a calm person. You can still manage to control yourself at such a time. No wonder you are so successful in business. We businessmen can't compare with your cold-bloodedness."
As soon as he finished his words, everyone immediately nodded and agreed.
"Mr. Chen, Master Pai is a wonderful person from Jade City. You can even say that he is the last old Chinese Medicine Practitioner. Are you not willing to help him?"
"This is a matter of life and death. Mr. Chen, are you really so cruel?"
"Forget it, we won't force him. Let's raise money together and buy this Dragon Root for Otto. I'm willing to pay a million!"
"I will also pay a million yuan. Isn't it just 20 million yuan. Let's pool some money together. It would absolutely be enough."
The atmosphere at the scene was very lively; it was as if that was a glorious and grand gathering.
They seemed to be acting like the heroes in a game, and they were all trying to defeat the villain who was Fade.
In such a situation, Fade could not help but look dignified. He said indifferently, "I won't sell it even if you are willing to pay me forty million yuan."
As soon as Fade said that, everyone became even more agitated. They glared at Fade and criticized him.
"You, you've gone too far. You know that Master Pai needs the Dragon Root to save his son, but still, you don't want to sell it to him. You are just trying to raise the price."
"Do you really want to earn money from something like this? How can you be so shameless?"
"What a cold-blooded merchant! At times like this, the first thing in your mind was not to save people but to earn money!"
Some of them even took out their mobile phones and threatened Fade directly, "When I bought the Fei Magic Toner from Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, I didn't expect the owner of that company to be so cruel. I'm going to call a press conference to expose this matter to the public and let all the people in Jade City boycott Fei Magic Toner."
"Me too. Such a cold and heartless businessman shouldn't have appeared in Jade City. We must drive him away!"
"I'm ashamed to even see such a person."
"That's right. This kind of person would rather hold on to the herb and let it rot in his own hands than sell it at a low price to save people."
Faced with their insults, Fade shouted loudly, "How can you say that I think that money is more important than a human life? And how can you say that this herb is useless to me? Who told you this?"
That question made everyone pause for a moment, and they were speechless.
However, Calvin immediately said, "Fade, even if you say so much, the outcome is still the same. Stop making excuses."
"An excuse?" Fade sneered. Then he glared at Calvin and snapped, "What do you know? You don't know anything. You're just satisfying yourselves and acting as a just person to judge others."
"You..." Calvin wanted to refute.
However, Fade did not give him a chance to refute at all. He glared at the crowd directly and said coldly, "You are all doing this to satisfy your own needs by being "just" and helping Otto, but do you all know why I bought this herb? Do you know that my wife is ill and also needs this herb to cure her illness?"
"You guys don't know anything and arrogantly judged me as a gold digger and said that I am willing to sacrifice a human life for money. How dare you criticize me? You know nothing, but you are still ridiculing and judging other people. Is this your so-called "justice"?"
Fade's questions made the whole crowd speechless.
"He also wants to use that herb to save a human life?"
"I can't believe that there would be such a thing. What a coincidence."
Its not because of money that he isn't willing to sell the herb."
