Chapter 694: Chapter 694: His Opposition
Having witnessed Divine Doctor Quinn’s miraculous medical skills during their last encounter, Zachary stopped considering Simon Hale for treatment. Even when his old cold leg acted up, he was eager to find Divine Doctor Quinn.
However, since he had previously involved Simon Hale in uncovering fraud concerning Divine Doctor Quinn, Zachary found it difficult to face Divine Doctor Quinn again, which led to him not consulting any doctors this time.
Furthermore, Simon Hale recently had bribed patients to cause trouble at other doctors’ clinics, and eventually ended up in police custody again, which Zachary was also aware of.
Although Rhonda Hale spent a lot to remove the related videos from the internet the same day, their family was still the first to catch wind of the commotion and promptly ended their employment with Simon Hale.
Yet Gia Zachary did not understand why it seemed to Bianca White as if her father was unable to secure Simon Hale for treatment.
Bianca White was puzzled under Gia Zachary’s gaze, "What’s up?"
Bianca White had been undergoing intense training at the Vanguard Corps Headquarters recently, so she was unaware of Simon Hale’s situation.
As Gia Zachary hesitated whether to inform Bianca White about Simon Hale’s troubles, Victor Hawthorne finished distributing tree branches.
"Everyone, show your tree branches and compare lengths to form your respective groups. Then, we’ll distribute hunting rifles and your personal rations."
Thus, Gia Zachary and Bianca White had to pause their conversation and reveal their exchanged branches.
In this manner, Bianca White successfully joined Kyle Keaton’s group.
Apart from the two of them, the group also included a beer-bellied businessman and a flamboyant socialite.
Unfortunately, Victor Hawthorne also ended up in this group because he discovered that one of the longest branches was missing.
Definitely the handiwork of some influential figure!
Victor Hawthorne couldn’t pinpoint the culprit, so he had no choice but to swallow his frustrations.
Meanwhile, July Quinn had modified her branch length and ended up in Roman Kidd’s group.
This group, besides the two of them, included Gia Zachary, who had exchanged branches with Bianca White, and two other socialites.
Shelly Cole was in a group with Victor Hawthorne’s subordinates, along with Brandon White.
The remaining two groups were comprised of CEOs and young socialites attending today’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.
After confirming the group members, Victor Hawthorne began distributing rifles and rations.
"Each person gets ten bullets and one ration pack."
Upon receiving the gun and ration, Kyle Keaton was dissatisfied with such arrangements.
"I find this setup unfair; there’s only one man in your group, which is very unsafe."
Kyle Keaton referred directly to July Quinn’s group.
Indeed, he had set aside his manifold duties today to be there, not for pleasure, but to spend more time with July Quinn discussing hypnosis and his lost memories.
Yet, with the current arrangements, he missed the chance to be alone with July Quinn, rendering today’s plan meaningless.
Consequently, he prepared to make his own arrangements: "I’ll switch to their group."
But as soon as he finished speaking, another male voice emerged: "I object."
Truly, no one expected anyone to dare oppose Lord Keaton.
Just moments ago, everyone assumed Lord Keaton’s command to switch groups was a done deal.
The crowd was thus curious about who possessed such audacity to defy Lord Keaton publicly, embarrassing him.
They all looked towards the source of the voice, only to find it was... Roman Kidd!
