“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
“Why are you here?” Dahlia was surprised to see Dustin. When she saw the pretty lady standing beside him, she couldn’t help but frown. Her heart clenched in jealousy. “Was Natasha not enough for him? He still wanted more women?” Dahlia wondered to herself.“Men are all playboys after all!” She concluded in her mind.“Dustin, you guys know each other?” Ruth looked between the two of them, feeling a little awkward.“We do. She’s the president of Quine Group, Miss Dahlia.” Dustin explained. “So it’s her!” Ruth’s gaze immediately turned hostile. This woman in front of her was her sister’s greatest love rival. She certainly has to keep an eye on her. She must not let the two of them rekindle their love!“Humph! How do we keep running into each other? How unlucky of us!” Florence’s face was full of contempt.”“Dustin! How impressive! I can’t believe you got another girl with you so soon! You really are a gigolo!” James mocked. At the same time, he was envious of him.“Damn it! I
Seeing Julie’s joyful face, Ruth clenched her teeth and held back her anger.“Pretty lady, I really need this Luminianth Root. Can’t you just sell it to me? I’ll pay you 20 million!” Ruth tried her best to rein in her emotions. “So what if you have money? You want my Luminianth Root? Dream on!” Julie hugged the wooden box closer to her body, looking proud of herself. “You—!” Ruth was at her limit. She had never been treated like this before ever since a young age. In the end, she gave up. “Dustin! I don’t care anymore! You handle it yourself!” Looking at the situation, Dustin could only ask, “Julie, what are you planning to use the Luminianth Root for?”“That’s none of your damn business!” Julie glared at him and declared firmly, “Listen up you guys, I will never sell the Luminianth Root to you guys no matter what you say!”“That is a huge Luminianth Root. You won’t be able to finish it if you’re planning to use it as a medicine—” Before Dustin could finish, Julie inte
“Look here, we’ve laid out our terms clearly. You were the ones who insisted on buying it. I didn’t force you guys at all.” The shop owner said indifferently. “Stop the crap! I don’t want this Luminianth Root anymore. Hurry up and give me a refund!” Julie grabbed the man by his collar and roared.“What? Are you trying to stir up trouble in my shop?”The shop owner’s expression did not falter, and he quickly clapped his hands once. Soon, a group of brawny men came out from the room behind.Seeing the fierce looks on their face, Julie and the rest were immediately stunned and silent.“Are you guys tired of living? How dare you stir up trouble in Mr. Walter’s shop?”“Anyone could tell that they’re brainless, they have no clue about the rules here.”“Exactly! They don’t even check the item before raising their bid. Doesn’t that say something about their stupidity?” The crowd started gossiping.“What? You think that I’m scared because you have a few men?”Florence glared at hi
