Chapter 594: Leandro Zamora
Chapter 594: Leandro Zamora
The assistant could only look at his shoes, on the verge of tears, as the CEO left him alone to face Miss Emily. He was truly afraid that the President's daughter would take it out on him.
As expected, when Emily saw Hayden leaving without even looking back, her determination made her eyes turn red with anger. She turned her head and saw his assistant standing there like a statue, causing her to throw a glare at him.
"What are you standing there for? Drive, take me to the venue."
"Yes."
Augury Square was already crowded with people, and several chairs were placed on both sides of the competition platform. These were reserved for the judges.
In the center stood an elderly man who was currently speaking. He appeared to be around fifty or sixty years old, with salt-and-pepper hair. He was dressed in a black formal suit, exuding an elegant and steady demeanor.
Time had taken its toll on his face, but even from that aged countenance, one could imagine that he must have been quite handsome in his youth.
"Thank you to all the medical personnel and members of society for your full support of this competition. The winner of the triennial Abona Medical Conference will have the honor of entering Presidential Library."
"This is the key."
As he spoke, he placed the plum-shaped key he held in his hand into a tray held by a hostess standing nearby, in full view of everyone. The appearance of the key immediately drew everyone's attention. Is this the key to the Presidential Library?
Below the stage, the representatives from various institutions began to show signs of restlessness. The atmosphere was lively yet tinged with tension.
Next, a man with black eyes and dressed in a black suit walked up to the stage from the side. He confidently walked up to the podium, holding a name card in his hand.
On the stage, the host wore a warm smile and greeted the audience, while beneath the stage, there was already a hidden undercurrent.
Kyson appeared with his direct disciple from Almond Hall and his granddaughter Leah. As soon as they took their seats, they heard a mocking laughter from nearby.
"Are you from Almond Hall daring to participate in the competition this year? Besides Kyson, the younger generation from your sect is really inferior one after another."
"I heard that your high-achieving granddaughter made a mistake even in a small emergency surgery at Akloit, resulting in a compensation of five million."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Such a disgrace. With this level, I wonder how many more people will suffer in the future."
As the elderly man's voice fell, Leah immediately felt the mocking and disdainful gazes from those around her, making her too ashamed to lift her head. How did that incident... end up reaching Onistead?
She clenched her teeth and thought in frustration: It's all Cheyenne's fault!
Kyson also felt losing face. He had gained fame at a young age and led a smooth life, earning him respect in his later years.
He never expected that in his old age, he would be mocked by others.
After the remark, Kyson didn't hold back. "Leandro, what's there for you to be proud of? So what if your Zamora family is full of talents? After you kick the bucket, Moon Hall will end up in someone else's hands."
Leandro was the current head of Moon Hall, already seventy-two years old this year.
When his only son, Willie Zamora, was young, he fell in love with an orphan girl. They were incompatible in terms of social status, so Leandro drove him out of the Zamora family.
Over the years, Leandro had regretted his decision, unable to sleep many nights.
Unfortunately, despite his efforts, he couldn't find his son.
He had no choice but to select a successor among his grandchildren.
Otherwise, there was a possibili
that he would grow old alone with no one to inherit Moon Hall.
Among the younger generation of the Zamora family, only Mason stood out.
At only twenty-six years old this year, he had become the President's personal physician, living in the Kemi Palace and earning respect from others.
It was worth mentioning that Mason, like Sophie, had studied at Jostrana University.
He knew Leah as well.
Speaking of which, Leah and he could be considered the most familiar strangers.
Due to their similar age, they had been compared by both families since they were young.
Leandro was relatively tolerant towards Mason, but he had one requirement: never lose to Leah, a mere woman.
Later on, Mason lived up to Leandro's expectations. He surpassed Leah in the rankings of renowned physicians in Onistead.
Now, Kyson and Leandro had
started arguing. Mason, as
Leandro's disciple, couldn't criticize
his master, nor could he persuade
Kyson to take a step back and let bygones be bygones.
Mason took two steps back and quietly approached Leah. His voice sounded gentle above her head, tinged with a hint of apology.
"Miss Owen, I'm sorry. My master didn't mean to target you. He just tends to argue with Kyson."
Leah's face turned pale, and she didn't accept his apology at all.
Were they treating her like a fool, with one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop?
Her almond-shaped eyes grew cold, and she gave Mason a disdainful glare, scolding him with annoyance, "I don't need your false kindness."
After speaking, she proudly walked away like a white peacock, head held high, chest puffed out, strutting in her seven-centimeter high heels. However, Mason wasn't angered. He watched her departing figure with a deep gaze, his lips forming a wry smile on his still quite handsome face. Eddie had no idea about the grudge between the two. He followed the team of doctors from Almond Hall as usual, passing by Mason. He couldn't help but take a glance at the man.
'Is this the future head of Moon Hall? I will definitely defeat him!'
For some reason, Mason felt a sense of hostility. After pondering for a long time, he finally found the source of this hostility.
His gaze happened to meet Eddie's burning fighting spirit and icy anger in his eyes.
Who was this man? Why hadn't he heard about Almond Hall recruiting anyone new?
Among the four halls, doctors from Wind Hall had also arrived.
Although the Edwards family had been divided and scattered over the years, as long as Wind Hall's reputation remained, they would continue to persist.
In reality, the Abona Medical Competition boiled down to a competition between Mason and Leah.
After all, foreign teams were
definitely no match for the
traditional medicine theories of their
own country. And among the young
people in the country, only these two
could measure up.
As for Sparrow Hall, after suffering a heavy blow last time, the sect had practically ceased to exist.
That's why they didn't participate this time.
