Chapter 72
Matthew looked at Johan with the bloodied knife in hand. He asked, “Did you hear that?”
Johan had already collapsed to the ground in fear. He was always in his office, so he had never seen such a bloody
scene.
When Matthew spoke, Johan nodded frantically. He replied, “I heard it! I heard it. I’ll call to retract the article right
away.”
As Matthew flicked the knife, the blood droplets were splashed onto Johan’s face, making him scream in terror.
Matthew said coldly, “I want to see the revised version.“”
The smell of blood overwhelmed Johan, making him panic even more. He responded, “Okay, I’ll have my people revise it and send over the final draft.”
Clutching his wound, Kyrie pleaded, “Can I go now? I need to go to the hospital. If I wait any longer, I won’t survive.”
Iv
Matthew suddenly remembered something. He asked, “You haven’t explained everything yet. Where do you think you’re going?”
Kyrie w
de was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth. Quivering in fear, he asked, “Didn’t you say to retract the article?”
Matthew smirked coldly. It seemed that Kyrie was still playing dumb and didn’t want to reveal who was targeting Wealthwave Group.
“Tell me who is behind this! You can’t leave until you reveal it.”
Seeing Matthew’s determination, Kyrie realized he had no choice.
He explained, “This is complicated. It started when I was in my zos. I wrote an article that won a journalism award, so I received a lot of offers.
“For financial reasons, I went to Switzeria, where I gained many honors and wealth. I was recruited by a company called Seven Stars Enterprise, and I returned to Tuschen. This article about Wealthwave Group is part of my job.”
Matthew was a bit shocked. So, this guy was working for the Switzers. That meant the Switzers had their sights set on Wealthwave Group.
Matthew needed to obtain more information from Kyrie. He asked, “Where is Seven Stars Enterprise located? What grudge do they have against Wealthwave Group?”
Kyrie shook his head. He replied, “Seven Stars Enterprise recruited me through a coffee company. I’ve never been to
their office.
“But they pay well, and the funding for operations is generous. As far as I know, they have no direct grudge against Wealthwave Group. They just oppose the traditional medicine industry.”
Matthew’s eyes widened; the news was too shocking.
If what Kyrie had said was true, Seven Stars Enterprise’s target was not just Wealthwave Group but the entire traditional medicine industry.
It was very hard to believe that there was a company that wanted to destroy the entire traditional medicine industry.
“How are they opposing the traditional medicine industry? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Kyrie’s clothes were drenched in sweat as he writhed in agony. He pressed hard on his wound, but blood still seeped through his fingers.
He was even more terrified now. He said, “I don’t know what they’re doing, but I know what they had me do.
“Whenever there’s negative news about traditional medicine, I interview people and publish it. Then, I get celebrities, bloggers, and the media to spread it. I’ve done this many times.”
As Matthew listened, he became furious because he had experienced it firsthand. He knew how these smear campaigns. worked; they used every trick to tarnish the reputation of traditional medicine.
He couldn’t hold back his anger anymore. He asked angrily, “You’re a Tuschen native, yet you’re defaming your own people and discrediting traditional medicine. How could you do that?”
Kyrie’s face twisted in a grimace as he couldn’t bear the pain. He retorted, “Discrediting? Traditional medicine is a scam. I’m exposing the truth, so why shouldn’t I do it?
“It’s not just me. Those celebrities, bloggers, and other reporters are all doing it. What did I do wrong?”
Matthew shook his head slightly. He said, “If you don’t believe in traditional medicine, then you can’t be saved. The stab I gave you isn’t fatal. What’s truly fatal is that you’re already beyond cure. You’re doomed.”
Although Kyrie was in pain, he was confused. He said, “How is that possible? I just had a full–body check–up. You’re lying! You must be lying.”
Matthew said coldly, “A full–body check–up can’t detect everything. If they could detect everything, there would be no cancer or sudden deaths among young people.
“I know you don’t believe me. Let me ask you. Every morning, do you feel dizzy, do your lips feel numb, and do you find it hard to taste anything? Do you sweat profusely with yellowish and murky sweat in the middle of the night?”
Kyrie’s expression changed instantly. He seemed to forget his pain for a moment as he asked, “H–How… how do you know that?”
He indeed had those symptoms. He had seen many doctors but still couldn’t find a cause. So, he had given up on it.
