Chapter 1002
The recent incident about the poisoned seafood had caused the citizens of Jade City to panic.
Although the vast majority of Jade City hadn''t been poisoned, many people were frightened by it. In
the past few days, major hospitals had been crowded with people demanding tests.
Even if the results were negative, some of the citizens still believed that it was only because the
toxins in their bodies were insufficient to show a positive result. Therefore, many tried to get their
hands on different medicines for preventive measures.
Many had been struck by that fearful mentality. Although many knew that it was illogical to think that
way, they were still influenced by the majority.
A simr incident had happened before, during the nuclear radiation leak a few years ago. That had
led to many fighting over salt. Everyone knew that it was ridiculous, but it still happened.
Some of them even took the opportunity to invest and seek profits.
Simr signs had begun to appear in Jade City. In response to everyone''s panicked mentality, some
private doctors andpanies which sold healthcare products quickly began to sell their products.
This was under the notion of prevention and treatment of "poisoned seafood".
However, those products were all ineffective health products. After taking them, there were no
preventive measures while some caused physical difort after consumption.
Rather than allowing those immoral businessmen to profit at the expense of others, it was better for
Fade to sell the medicine that actually prevented and cured the "poisoned seafood". Not only that,
Sincere Medicine Center''s reputation could be raised in Jade City by selling legitimate medication.
Fade was rich and had rented a ce in the busiest area of Jade City for Sincere Medicine Center''s
establishment.
The medicine was also quickly prepared by Fade through the grinding and mixing of several
medicinal herbs.
Additionally, Fade had also broadcasted an advertisement for it on television through his
connections with Eduard.
As a result, the Sincere Medicine Center''s entrance in Jade City was crowded on the day of its
grand opening.
Fade personally ushered the guests into the pharmacy with a smile on his face. He sold the antidote
to them and briefly exined the medication to better their understanding.
Once in a while, Fade would even diagnose some of the customers and let them know of their
health problems.

Those who trusted Fade asked him to prescribe the medicine in the pharmacy. He didn''t waste
much time on those who didn''t trust him, and allowed them to verify it themselves.
The price of the medicine was fairly reasonable. It was only half the price of simr medicines in
Jade City. They were much lower in price than the so- called health products that had recently
flooded the market.
Coupled with the good customer service of the pharmacy and Fade''s superb skills, the store''s
business improved day by day.
Some even rmended their friends and families to the pharmacy after trying it out for
themselves.
As a result, the opening day of the Sincere Medicine Center had surprisingly yielded profits that
were out of both Fade and Lily''s expectations. They had deliberately lowered the price of the
medicine and had even expected a loss for a year and a half.
However, the turnover from the first day was already twice the cost. If this was to continue, the cost
of the investment in the branch would be recovered in less than a month.
The next day, the business was even better than the day before. The profits from the first half of the
day had already exceeded the total profit made from the previous day.
Not only that, a line had already formed outside the entrance. This was due to the overwhelming
amount of people who had visited the pharmacy. Fade couldn''t help but ask several workers to
maintain the order of the queue outside the pharmacy.
At the same time, Fade had also made some changes. If the customers were only here for the
medicine for the "poisonous seafood", they could purchase it outside of the pharmacy itself without
waiting in line. Only those who came for a diagnosis had to queue.
Soon after that, everything returned to order. Although Fade excelled in the medical field, there
weren''t many who knew about his skills in Jade City. It would take some time for his reputation to
spread through word of mouth.
Even so, Fade was so busy that he was sweating profusely. It wasn''t until 4 o''clock in the afternoon
that the long queue at the door had almost cleared up.
Fade was about to take a break and hand over the remaining patients to his assistant.
Suddenly, dozens of people appeared at the entrance.
Almost all of them were middle-aged women in their forties. They carried their handbags and
furiously walked into the store one by one.
They proceeded to ignore the clerks who weed them in with a smile and pushed the clerks
away. Even other customers had been pushed away in the process, causing a ruckus in the
pharmacy.
Fade couldn''t help but frown at them. "Dearest customers, whether you are here to buy medicine or
for a diagnosis, please head outside and wait in line," Fade said as politely as possible.
However, theypletely ignored Fade''s words. Instead, an obese woman angrily stood out and
threw her handbag on the counter. She angrily eximed, "Go to hell with your ''waiting in line''. I
want you to give me an exnation right now!"
Fade''s expression fell and he coldly replied, "If you have any problems, you can talk it out with us."
"Humph! What kind of sh*t medicine are you selling? As soon as my husband drank the medicine,
he vomited and suffered from diarrhea for the entire night. Exin yourselves this instant," shouted
the obese woman.
The group of middle- aged women also agreed behind her back. They threw their bags onto the
ground and cried out in unison.
"My son, too. He suffered from diarrhea after taking your medicine," eximed one of the women.
"My elderly mother was immediately sent to the hospital after she drank it!" Cried another.
"Are you selling medicine or poison? Exin yourselves!" A third yelled.
Other customers instantly paled after listening to the group of women. Those who were about to
purchase the medicine immediately stopped.
Fade frowned at the group of women.
If one or two customers had suffered from diarrhea, it could be because of their own bodies. It was
nearly impossible for so many people to suffer from the same symptoms after taking the medicine.
In that case, it was either Fade''s medicine that had been problematic, or the group of women was
lying. However, Fade was confident that his medicine wasn''t the problem.
There was only one conclusion left. These people were lying! They had intentionallye as a
group to pick a fight.
