But it was only for a moment—everyone turned to look at Gavin Dawson again, their eyes filled with disbelief. What did he say? Did President Thompson just say that Gavin Dawson could cure cancer? Who would believe that? And President Walker even said he was willing to pay any amount?

Then, the crowd’s gazes became scattered—some were contemptuous, some angry, some incredulous, and finally... a few even looked envious.

“Damn, this is just too absurd. He can cure cancer? Then why is he still working here?”

“Come on, this is ridiculous. Even President Walker believes it? And he’s willing to pay any price? Isn’t that just asking to be scammed?”

“Shit, this guy’s con game is next level. He actually managed to fool President Walker like this?”

“So he’s just a damn scammer. Screw it, let’s beat him up!”

...

Amidst the noisy exclamations, Hank Bolton strode into the office, his face twisted in a snarl as he walked straight toward Gavin Dawson. “Hey, kid, you sure have guts, coming here to scam people?”

“Miles Lewis? What are you doing? If you don’t act now, I’ll strip you of your position! All you from Chuangyuan, kick out those Qingshui guys and give everyone a hundred yuan bonus!!” Seeing this, Matthew Walker was shocked and immediately shouted at Miles Lewis.

“Ah!!”

Another wave of exclamations erupted outside the door. A hundred yuan bonus? Should they act or not?

But regardless, Miles Lewis snapped to attention and lunged forward to block Hank Bolton, while shouting to the people behind him, “Go! Do you want to get fired?!”

“Damn...”

“Do it!!”

“Hey, with that scrawny body, you dare take me on?” Hank Bolton dodged Miles Lewis’s block, and was gloating when two young Chuangyuan employees tackled him from behind, making him cry out in surprise.

...

“What... what should I do now?” Standing in a corner of the general office, Gavin Dawson wiped cold sweat from his brow as he watched the chaos of people fighting inside and outside the office. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and no matter how much he wiped, it wouldn’t stop.

It wasn’t just fear—though he was a little scared. After all, he’d grown up peacefully and never been in a brawl before. Now, seeing forty or fifty people fighting, it was only natural to feel some fear. But most of the sweat was from sheer shock.

He hadn’t expected Matthew Walker to have such faith in him, nor had he expected Thomas Thompson to be so aggressive, willing to turn hostile just to get him kicked out.

“Ow...”

“Ah...”

Cries of pain rang out inside and outside the room. Usually, two or three, or three or four Chuangyuan employees would gang up on a single Qingshui worker. Even if they weren’t as big or strong, they still had the upper hand, so no one could get to Gavin Dawson.

Soon, while Gavin Dawson was still at a loss for what to do, the Qingshui Engineering Department employees were all dragged out, even Thomas Thompson was pushed and shoved out by two or three people.

“Old Walker, you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! You’d rather trust this scammer than me? Damn it! And you, that guy named Du, if you’ve got guts, don’t leave the building, or I’ll make you pay!” As he was being dragged out, Thomas Thompson kept cursing non-stop.

But Matthew Walker ignored him completely, hurrying over to Gavin Dawson and anxiously asking, “Mr. Du, are you alright?”

“No, no...” Gavin Dawson’s mouth twitched. What if Thomas Thompson really gathered a group to wait for him outside Chuangyuan? But since Matthew Walker had gone this far, he couldn’t say much more.

“President Walker.” Disheveled, Miles Lewis hurried over, first giving Gavin Dawson a strange look, then cautiously addressing Matthew Walker.

Miles Lewis couldn’t help but feel odd. Just yesterday, he’d looked down on this poor kid, and this morning he’d even been scolded by Matthew Walker because of him. Who would have thought this guy could trick Matthew Walker into trusting him so much? Even mobilizing the company staff to brawl with Qingshui? And... and President Walker even said he’d pay any price if Gavin Dawson could save him? No matter how much he was scammed?

“Mm, you did well.” Matthew Walker finally turned to him, gave a word of approval, then said, “You go out first and close the door. Don’t let anyone disturb me and Mr. Du.”

After Miles Lewis left, glancing back at every step, Matthew Walker turned back, a bit nervous, and said, “Mr. Du, you must help me!”

“Ahem...” Gavin Dawson coughed awkwardly, then said, “President Walker, can you give me some time to think about it?”

“Think about it? Of course, of course.” Hearing this, Matthew Walker was overjoyed. This was the first time Gavin Dawson had shown any sign of wavering, no longer flatly refusing.

Chapter 011: Transfer Experiment

“Mm.” Gavin Dawson nodded again, his mind racing. Although he’d gained the ability to transfer numbers because of Thomas Thompson’s agitated numbers, he still didn’t know the details of this ability. For example, if he transferred a healthy person’s number to a sick person, would the sick person really recover? And even if they did, would the person whose number was transferred then get sick?
