Chapter 987 Lacking Backbone

“My name is Nedley Donnelly. I run a traditional medicine clinic nearby called Vitality Oasis. You can simply refer to me as Old Mr. Donnelly.”

At that moment, Emrys spoke up. “A traditional medicine clinic? Old Mr. Donnelly, did you really open a traditional medicine clinic in Jetroina?”

“What’s the matter? Do you have a problem with that?”
