“What?”Natasha's sudden outburst of anger caused Quentin to furrow his brows. “Are you seriously going to turn on me just to protect this boy toy of yours?” One reason he wanted to humiliate Dustin so much was that he hated his guts, while the other was because he wanted to gauge Natasha’s reaction to the situation.“Dustin saved my life, so if you dare so much as lay a finger on him, don’t blame me if I flip out on you!” Natasha warned Quentin sternly. If not for the fact that he was her cousin, she would have slapped the shit out of him already.“Is that so!” Quentin snorted as his expression twisted into a scowl. “While I can put Tilda Snider’s case aside for now, I’m still very opposed to the fact that you plan to elect him as the chief physician when he doesn’t even have the right qualifications for the job!” Quentin argued back.Since this was one way of securing power in the company, it was obvious that he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip away so easily.“Wh
After reaching an agreement on both sides, the atmosphere instantly became tense.Dustin and Mr. Wangley had their subordinates purchase some medicine for them.The plan was that the two of them would concoct poisons on the spot and down them together at the same time.As for who would win, that would have to depend on their respective skills.“Do you think Dustin’s going to make it, Sis? What if he gets poisoned to death instead?” Ruth voiced out anxiously. “Well, since he agreed to it in the first place, I suppose this means he’s confident that he can win. Have some faith in the guy.” Natasha assured with a straight face. Although she looked calm on the outside, she felt uneasy on the inside. If it were possible, she’d rather Dustin straight-up admit defeat.“You can say that, but Dustin’s only proficient in medicine. Surely he can’t beat Mr. Wangley in terms of his experience in the field of poison research,” Ruth murmured while shaking her head.There were many subfield
“WHAT? HUMAN EXCREMENT?”As soon as Quentin heard this, he immediately started dry heaving next to Dustin.But since the poison was already in his stomach, he couldn’t spit it out even if he wanted to, his face flushed red instead.Before this, the phrase ‘eat shit’ had only been a suggestion, but he couldn’t believe that it had actually happened to him. “I didn't expect Dustin to be so heartless by forcing our cousin to eat shit. How is he going to eat anything else from now on?” Ruth commented as she covered her nose with her hands. She then started to move away from them with a look of disgust. “For all the shit he spews out from his mouth, I think this is a most fitting punishment.” Natasha couldn't help but add fuel to the fire too.“How dare you trick me, you little bastard!” Quentin roared as he raised his head. His expression darkened and his gaze was murderous.He had never been humiliated this badly in all his life.“Since we were tasked with making poison, I had th
“Don't get ahead of yourself yet, you bastard!” Mr. Wangley shouted in anger. “You have to remember that Mr. Harmon isn’t the only one who’s poisoned here. Without my antidote, you won’t be able to live past tomorrow with my poison in your system!” “Is that so? Wanna bet on who kicks the bucket first?” Dustin chuckled. “Why you—!” Mr. Wangley had been rendered speechless.Looking at the current state of affairs, it was obvious that Quentin was the one who would lose first. And it was exactly for this reason that Mr. Wangley proposed to call it a draw.Unfortunately, the other party was having none of it.“Hurry up and give me the antidote already, Dustin! We’ll count this as a loss on our side!” Quentin yielded grudgingly.If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't bear the pain anymore, he would never concede to a puny ant like him. “You can’t just ‘say’ that you’ve lost. Where’s the sincerity in that, Mr. Harmon?” Dustin teased while shaking his head.“Don't yo
When Mr. Wangley laid his eyes on the small, white-colored vial, his expression immediately turned into shock, but a look of greed replaced it soon after.That was legendary Dr. Rowan Cross’ Miracle Cure!Why does a punk like him have such a treasure on him in the first place?Anyone could see that this antidote was incredibly precious and worth a lot of money!Even the tiniest amount of powder could already fetch sky-high prices.It was no wonder that the punk could act so cocky, and that was all because he was in possession of Hexanavir.Today shall be the day of his downfall!“Hmph!” Quentin snorted and said nothing before downing the whole cup of tea in one gulp.Almost immediately after he gulped down the tea, the ongoing sharp pains in his stomach gradually started to disappear. The pain completely disappeared a few minutes later. This caused Quentin to feel like he’d just survived a huge ordeal.“I won’t forget the shame you inflicted on me today, Rhys! You had bet
“I see.” Dustin nodded.Dustin recalled something and asked, “Following what you said, between you and Edwin, whoever first creates Eternumax would dominate the market in Swinton?”“You could say that,” Natasha confirmed his thoughts. “However, the documents of my researchers have been robbed. We have to start all over again. It would be too difficult.” “Humph! That Hummer is too despicable! Him and his dirty tricks!” Ruth was indignant.“What kind of medicine is Eternumax?” Dustin asked once again.“Eternumax is a medicine that not only increases your lifespan but also retains beauty. It was said to be derived from an ancient antidote recipe. However, because the recipe was crafted such a long time ago, half of it was lost. We could only keep researching to restore the full recipe.” Natasha explained. “An ancient antidote recipe?” “If I’m following correctly, I do know about a type of secret medicine that has a similar effect to Eternumax.” Dustin rubbed his chin“Oh? And
“Hehe…You wouldn’t know, would you? Miss Hummer is a noble lady. She doesn’t need gems or jewelry. If you truly want to impress her, you should give her a one-of-a-kind gift. Luminianth Root has the ability to retain one’s beauty. No woman could ever resist it. I believe that Miss Hummer would like it!” Julie uttered confidently. “You’re not wrong, but this Luminianth Root costs a fortune, right?” Florence asked.“Of course! This is an extremely rare item. You won’t be able to buy it without three to five million dollars.” Julie nodded.“What! It’s that expensive?”Florence was shocked. “Julie, do you even have that much money?” “Of course, I don’t. But you do! So, lend me a few million dollars, I’ll return it to you next time.” Julie requested without hesitation. Her words stunned Florence.Dahlia and James also frowned at her words.This cousin of theirs would always borrow money every time she visits.Last year she “borrowed” a Mercedez-Benz from them for two days. Until
“Julie! Don’t be mad, calm down!”Florence quickly stopped Julie and smiled. “Isn’t it just a few million dollars? I’ll lend it to you! We’re all family after all. There’s no need to fight.”“Mom! Why are you playing along with her?” James frowned.“Julie is my only niece. Now that she’s in a pinch, who would help her if not me?” Florence stated the facts. “Are you sure this is someone who needs help?” James was displeased. “Shut it!” Florence glared at her son. “I’m not using your money. Can’t I use my own money?”“You—!” James was shocked.“Is she still my mother?” James wondered.She treated a niece better than her own son.“Aunt Florence treats me the best!” Julie chirped with a smile on her face.This was not her first time acting like this. It was effective every single time.“Of course, who’d treat you well other than me? Let’s go, we’ll buy you the Lumianth Root.”Florence grabbed Juile’s hand and entered Emporium.“Sis! You’re not going to stop mom?” James was w
