The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 215 James stood and turned to look at Thea.

Youre the chairman.

Order the finance department to pay the compensation.

James, w-what… Thea was at a loss.

She thought James would resolve the problem.

However, after his posturing and empty words, he was now advising the Callahans to pay up.

An angry rebuke came from inside the building, What are you doing, James? Ten million dollars? Are you kidding me? I wont be surprised if you colluded with these people to swindle money out of the Callahans.

It was Gladys.

James whispered in Theas ear, Theres something wrong with the medicine.

H-How can you be sure this medicine was prescribed by us? What if someones trying to frame us? Thea glanced at James.

If they paid compensation before getting to the bottom of this incident, would it not be equivalent to acknowledging their mistake? James said, Listen to me.

Appeasing the family of the deceased is our top priority.

As long as we pay compensation and calm them down, everything else will be a piece of cake.

In any case, its detrimental to the Callahans if this continues.

If we can prove that this incident is unrelated to Eternality, itll bolster our image.

The advertising wed gain from this would greatly outweigh spending ten million on advertisements.

If its truly our fault, then forking the money out now would keep our losses to the minimum.

Thea mused over his words and believed they made sense.

She stood up and nodded.

Fine, ten million dollars it is.

The muscular man and his family did not expect the Callahans to be such a pushover.

In past cases of medical negligence, the hospitals would try to shift the blame away from them.

Even if the victims were compensated, they had to go through court cases for years.

At that moment, they felt ten million dollars were too little.

They gathered and had a discussion.

Hey, do you think were asking for too little? Yeah, dad.

I heard the Callahans have deepened cooperation with multiple large corporations and are now swiftly expanding their business.

We should ask for more.

Soon, they finished their discussion.

The muscular man stepped forward once more.

He threatened menacingly, Ten million dollars is too little.

I wont settle for anything less than fifty million dollars.

Sob… my poor father.

Youve died a horrible death.

Oh, my poor grandpa… They cried their eyes out in front of Eternality Hospital.

Jamie, what should we do now? Thea was panicking.

She did not expect them to raise the prices.

Though she had promised to pay ten million dollars in compensation, they now demanded fifty million.

As of late, the Callahans had spent a sum on setting up shops and expanding their businesses.

Currently, they only had twenty million dollars in cash flow.

Where on earth would they get their hands on fifty million? James looked at them and said coldly, Dont push it.

He was terminally ill even before consuming our medicine.

We can never know whether he died of medical negligence or natural causes.

Since you demand fifty million dollars, please go through the official procedures and undergo a post-mortem examination.

Upon hearing his words, the family was stunned.

Official procedures? The man was indeed terminally ill and had been kept on life support through medicine.

If the post-mortem examination showed that he died of natural causes, they would receive zero compensation.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers started pointing fingers.

Hes right.

The man was already ill.

Maybe he didnt die after consuming Eternalitys medicine.

We cant be sure about that.

Do you not see the number of sick people here? It could be an accident if its just the old guy.

But somethings going on with this many people here.

They were heated in the discussion.

Meanwhile, the muscular man and his family were having a discussion too.

If they opted to go through the official procedures, it might take forever to receive compensation.

After the discussion, they chose to settle for ten million dollars.

Fine.

Well settle for ten million dollars.

Youll have to pay us now.

James glanced at Thea.

Arrange for it.

What about me? Ive been losing my hair after eating your medicine.

What about me? My face is swelling.

I had diarrhea after eating your medicine.

Im not asking for much.

Maybe five hundred thousand? The crowd heckled for Eternality Hospital to compensate them.

Thea went to arrange for a bank transfer.

James glanced at the Callahans in the building and ordered, Bring me a table.

Soon, David and Alyssa brought a table and a stool out.

James sat on the stool and fixed his gaze on the crowd.

He yelled, Shut it.

Whatever it is, well see about it after Ive taken a look Queue up and wait for your turn.

Well pay up if its our mistake.

However, dont blame me for what happens if youre here to make trouble.
