Penulis: Cyberpunk War God
[Mr. Zimmerman is a good man. He was doing so much good! We’re all people who can’t afford such expensive medicine, but he gave us a way to live. But he has stopped selling medicine. What are we supposed to do now? Those who denounced him together with Peter Lorde and those who assaulted him, don’t you have a conscience?]

  • Someone Filed A Complaint Against My Pharmacy   Chapter 10

    “Young man, you must be the owner of the pharmacy that was here before, aren’t you?”The old man’s voice was hoarse but gentle. That took me aback, but I still nodded. “That’s me. Do you need something from me, sir?”The old man shook his head and approached me to stare at me with murky eyes. “I’m not here to buy anything. I’m just here to apologize.”I was stunned and stared at him in confusion. “I have an old friend with late-stage lung cancer. He came here to buy medicine from you before. Later on, he also came here to trash your pharmacy.” Regret appeared on his face. “He started regretting his actions after he went back and kept saying that he betrayed you. He passed away last month. Before he left, he held my hand and said that the worst thing he did was to betray you when you were just doing something good out of the kindness of your heart.”I felt something stir in my heart. “He’s stubborn and can’t bring himself to apologize to you. Since I don’t have much longer

    I stared at her calmly and said nothing. I had done a kind thing for this woman, yet she betrayed me for two thousand dollars. I just could not summon any desire to talk to her. My silence caused her even greater unease, and an unnatural flush appeared on her cheeks. She nudged her son and whispered, “Quick, greet Mr. Zimmerman.”“Hello, Mr. Zimmerman,” the boy whispered after shivering for a bit. I still said nothing and only stared at her as I waited for her to tell me why she was here. Ruth fisted the hem of her shirt as I continued staring at her. Then, all of a sudden, she started crying. “Mr. Zimmerman, I’m sorry. I really know that I’ve done wrong now. I was blinded by lies and shouldn’t have said those things about you.”While she sobbed, she repeated her apology incoherently. “Did you see the apology video I posted later?”“I did,” I replied calmly. The video was indeed one of the crucial factors behind why public opinion changed later, but that did not chan

    When they saw me, the crowd stirred. Peter fell to his knees before me. “Mr. Zimmerman, I’m sorry! I’m a monster and a piece of trash! I was the one who slandered and stirred up the crowd to go against you! I was the one who got them to hit you! It’s all my fault! Please sell the medicine to us again! I’m begging you!”While he spoke, he slapped himself. The sound was clear and crisp. The people behind him fell to their knees as well. Their weeping and pleading rose like waves. “Mr. Zimmerman, we’re sorry!”“We were blind and accused an innocent man of wrongdoing!”“Please give us another chance! We can pay extra!”“Please save us!”As I stared at the kneeling bunch of people and at their sincere regret as well as despair, all I felt was numb calmness. If they had known this would happen, why did they attack me?As I stared at the crowd, my voice traveled into the mini megaphone at the entrance and went out. It was clear and cold. “Stand up, all of you. Kneeling here

They still started to change the public’s opinion, though. The fatal blow came from Ruth. The woman who had said that she lost clumps of her hair after taking the medicine I sold uploaded an apology video on a new account at midnight. In the video, she cried until her eyes were swollen and admitted that she had lied because Peter had tempted her into going against her conscience. “Peter had approached me and said that he would give me two thousand dollars if I went online and said that there was something wrong with Mr. Zimmerman’s medicine. “He said that I could

    “Also, I need to remind you of something. Look at the symptoms of the cancer patients around you. Are your symptoms similar to theirs right now? If you’re in need of special medicine, go and buy effective, legal, trustworthy medicine.“Perhaps you could beg your victorious hero and see whether he can help you find cheap and useless medicine.”My words struck Peter like invisible swords. They also stabbed into all the patients and their families who had slandered me in the past. Peter opened his mouth, but he could only croak. He could not say a single word.Then, he looked at my cast-covered legs and at the patients who started glaring at him with despair and resentment. Panic he had never felt before rose in his heart. He had won against me by using public opinion. He gained the joy of “punishing” a “scammer.” He had even gained a good reputation. But he had also lost, because he had crushed the hope of patients spending only a little bit of money to buy medicine that cou

    But when they were inside, all they saw were shelves filled with snacks, drinks, and laundry detergent. They were stunned. Upon seeing the pharmacy replaced with a mini market, a flash of glee appeared briefly in Peter’s eyes. Then, he pretended to be shocked and covered his mouth as he stared at the supermarket. But the patients and their families looked like they had been petrified. They stood stiffly in place with their mouths hung open as they stared at the mini market in front of them in disbelief. It had everything but the special medicine that kept them alive. “What’s going on? Where’s the medicine? Where’s the pharmacy?”An old woman with graying hair pointed at the mini market’s signboard with a trembling finger. Her voice was filled with anxiety. Peter also pretended to be angry. With a red face, he rushed further into the mini market and looked around fiercely before finally settling his gaze on me while I sat behind the cashier counter and checked my account
