After a brief touch-up, Serena left the restroom and returned to the private room.Upon her return, Serena noticed that Tobias was nowhere to be seen. "Hmm? Mister Timberwood, where's Mister Corona?""Tobias said he went out to buy something."Isaac's excitement grew as he looked at the alluring Serena in front of him. He gestured towards the wine glasses on the table and said, "Let's not worry about him. Let's continue drinking!"Sensing Tobias's absence, Serena felt increasingly suspicious. "Mister Timberwood, I really can't continue drinking."She waved her hand and continued, "If we keep drinking, our business matters might get delayed!"Serena turned around, retrieved the Lloyd Group documents again, and handed them to Isaac."Mister Timberwood, with our stomachs full and glasses in hand, now you can look at the information about the Lloyd Group. We're still very sincere about this cooperation...""Sure, sure. Everything's fine."Isaac took the documents with a grin, not
However, despite Serena's pleas for help, she received no response whatsoever. A hint of despair flashed across her face.Isaac looked at Serena's face filled with despair and revealed an excited smile. "Why did you stop calling for help? Do you really think someone will come to save you? It's much better to behave!"With those words, he approached Serena once again."Don't come any closer!"A look of determination flashed across Serena's face. She grabbed a fork from the table and pressed it against her fair, delicate neck. "If you come any closer, I'll show you what death looks like!""Alright, alright! I won't come over!"Isaac waved his hands repeatedly, halting his steps. Looking ahead, he saw the fork had pierced Serena's fair, delicate neck due to her forceful grip. A trace of heartache flashed across his face."Miss Lloyd, why would you do this to yourself? If you don't want to be with me, that's fine, but don't hurt yourself!""Let me go!" Serena was firm in her tone,
Immediately, Isaac released his grip, flinging Serena to the ground. "You... scoundrel..." Serena collapsed. Her once exquisite face became slightly swollen and filled with resentment."Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!" However, Serena fiercely bit down on her tongue before she could finish her words. Suddenly, she froze. She realized that she did not even have the strength to bite her tongue anymore.A gleam of excitement flashed across Isaac's face. "Still contemplating suicide? I adore women of your virtue. Just the thought of you, with the effects of the medicine kicking in, excites me. I must savor every moment of your suffering. I have the whole night to play with you!"He shook his chubby head, found a spot to sit nearby, and shamelessly admired Serena's graceful figure. "I won't let you succeed."Serena's face was determined, but deep within her eyes flickered a profound despair. The most agonizing thing was being unable to die, no matter how much one
The private room was a chaotic mess. Serena lay on the floor, her face flushed and her clothes disheveled. Nearby stood a short, fat man who resembled a pig. It was immediately obvious what was about to happen in the room."Serena..." Liam suddenly raised his head and glared at Isaac, who was standing on the other side. With murderous intent pouring out of his eyes, he charged straight toward Isaac."What are you doing?"Panic flashed across Isaac's face. Before he could understand what was happening, Liam was already in front of him."Don't... Don't touch me!"In the next moment, Liam grabbed Isaac by the throat and lifted him off the ground.Liam glared at Isaac, his voice as cold as the frigid wind from the abyss. "How dare you?!""I... I..."Terror was etched all over Isaac's face. With Liam's grip tightening around his throat, his eyes bulged as he struggled to breathe.Then, Isaac's bodyguards, alerted by the noise from the room, finally arrived."Mister Timberwood!
The situation changed dramatically in an instant. Dozens of bodyguards lay sprawled on the ground, drenched in blood, their faces twisted in agony.Liam stood in the same spot, not even breathing heavily as he asked, "Anyone else?"He turned his gaze to Isaac, who was lying on the ground, his face contorted with terror. "If no one else wants to step up, it's your turn.""I..."Isaac trembled uncontrollably, unable to speak from the sheer terror gripping him. He had never imagined that the bodyguards he brought could not last even two minutes against that man."What do you want from me?" Isaac cried out, trying to curl into a ball."I didn't provoke you. What do you want?""You didn't provoke me?"Liam's eyes burned with murderous intent. He pointed to Serena, who lay nearby, fear etched on her face. "Do you know who she is?"Realization dawned on Isaac as he shuddered. "She… You came for Serena? You should have said so! We can discuss this. I haven't touched her. If you like h
"Ah! My hand!"A sharp pain surged through him.Isaac let out an agonizing scream. His face twisted in pain as he looked at his severed hand lying on the ground, his chubby face filled with terror. He could not believe it. Liam had chosen to cut off Isaac's left hand as his first attack!"How dare you?! How dare you do this?!"Isaac's corpulent body started to tremble uncontrollably."Shut up."Liam's response was cold and devoid of any emotion. He looked at Isaac's bleeding stump of a wrist and gently tapped it a few times. The blood that gushed out immediately stopped flowing!Then, Liam lifted his head to look at Isaac, a sinister smile appearing on his face. "I told you I'd take my time playing with you. We're just getting started. Just as you made Serena feel terrified, I will repay you tenfold soon."Upon hearing Liam's words, Isaac's body shuddered violently."I was wrong, I was really wrong! Grandmaster! Your Highness! I beg you! Please, spare me!"Overwhelmed with
Suddenly, Isaac's eyes widened in shock, but simultaneously, he fell silent and motionless.Liam frowned. "What a worthless fool! I didn't expect you to be so weak that you couldn't even last thirty seconds."With a slight movement of his fingers, the golden needle he had used to pierce Isaac's acupoint obediently flew back into his hand.Liam no longer paid attention to the lifeless Isaac. Instead, he turned his head toward the collapsed figure of Serena on the ground.A sigh escaped Liam as a conflicted emotion flickered in his eyes. He walked over and gently picked Serena up.Feeling her increasingly delicate frame, Liam murmured to himself. "You've gotten thinner...""Liam..." At that moment, Liam suddenly heard a faint whisper. Although the sound was barely audible, he caught his name clearly."You're awake?"Liam's body trembled. However, when he looked down, he saw that Serena still had her eyes closed, showing no sign of waking up.For some unknown reason, once Liam
Henry listened intently to the guard's report. The murderous intent in his eyes boiled over as he asked, "Are you saying that Isaac suffered greatly before he died?"The guard hesitated before nodding, "According to the hospital, there were signs of incontinence on Mister Timberwood's body. It indicates that something significant happened to him before his death."Henry smashed the glass in his hand in a fit of rage. "Damn it! Who did this?! I'll kill them! Were the bodyguards I assigned to Isaac just for show? They couldn't even protect him!"The guard cautiously glanced at Henry. "The bodyguards were severely injured and lost consciousness. There were no clues at the scene, so the culprit wasn't found. However, we have a clear understanding of the dinner that night."Henry's voice was icy. "Speak!"The guard replied quietly, "There were three people at the dinner. Serena from the Lloyd family in South City, who wanted to take over Mister Timberwood's project, and Mister Timberwo
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"Hmph!"However, Lucy ignored Agustine. With a cold snort, she angrily picked up the approval documents for the White Glycoside Cream and marched out of the room.Seeing this, Agustine hurriedly followed her.In his view, Lucy, the person in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, was perfect in every way, except for her somewhat fiery temper.Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what had happened after he left. But even if he had known, he might have assumed Lucy's reaction was due to her frustration over the promotion of White Glycoside Cream.At the moment, he was already at the airport, boarding a flight back to South City.The next day.Following the address agreed upon with Serena, Liam arrived at a coffee shop in South City.He was quite familiar with this place. This was where he and Serena had met for the first time.On the day Liam was released from prison, Serena had wanted to meet him here, but Hailey had done everything possible to stop it — all in this very coff
Even so, she was still shocked by the news about Matthias."Whether or not we visit doesn't matter."However, faced with an opportunity that most people could only dream of, Liam remained unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, "Doing more beneficial work for the advancement of traditional Hestian medicine is far more important than visiting me!"Liam did not care much about Matthias's visit. For him, he had already witnessed far broader horizons!"In any case, Grandmaster Burrey, thank you this time!"Agustine did not dare respond directly to Liam's words. Instead, he kept bowing his head in gratitude, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you.""No need to thank me." Liam turned to Agustine and said, "If you truly feel indebted, then work closely with Lucy to expedite the production of the White Glycoside Cream.""I'll still have use for the medication once it's launched.""Grandmaster Burrey, rest assured!"Hearing this, Agustine lifted his head and responded earnestly,
"Miss Hill…"Hearing Lucy's words, Agustine froze suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond at that moment.Whether it was Lucy's remarks or the questions raised by Matthias, neither was wrong.It was just that they viewed things from different perspectives.The more it was like this, the more unsure Agustine was about how to persuade them.However, at this moment—"That's enough," Liam's voice sounded. He waved his hand and said calmly, "It's fine if we don't promote it for now. As long as the medicine can go to market, there won't be any problems."Liam maintained a rather composed attitude about all of this. After all, the original purpose of the White Glycoside Cream was simply to treat those few patients with severe skin damage at Golden Cross Hospital.For now, as long as they could obtain the medicine and heal their scars, the White Glycoside Cream would have fulfilled its intended purpose."But Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing this, Lucy turned he
Even though the Hill family's current strength was impressive, and the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's influence continued to expand, they still could not quite compare when faced with someone of Matthias's status."That's right!" Agustine nodded, smiling. "Mister Kien has been very supportive of the relevant matters, and has even made some policy changes..."Then, he mentioned Matthias's latest orders regarding traditional Hestian medicine."Mister Kien has made so many new decisions?" Hearing this, Lucy's face showed a hint of surprise. "Does this mean that Mister Kien has started to recognize ancient Hestian medicine?""Mainly because the effects of the White Glycoside Cream are truly astonishing..." Agustine smiled wryly."If that's the case, then it's a good thing." Liam glanced at Agustine and spoke softly.At first, he had thought that reviving ancient Hestian medicine would require a lot of effort. But now, it seemed that with the gradual shift in the official stance
"When you go to communicate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, make sure to explain things thoroughly to Grandmaster Burrey."Matthias was worried that not allowing the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to excessively promote the White Glycoside Cream might leave a bad impression on Liam.He looked at Agustine and said, "It's not that we're not allowing the promotion of White Glycoside Cream, but this moment is just too special.""For the future of traditional Hestian medicine, we hope Grandmaster Burrey can understand."Once the current chaos in the market calms down, the Hestia Drug Administration will be able to step in and help the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation with the promotion, as a form of compensation!"If this situation affects the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, I will apologize to Grandmaster Burrey in person when I go to South City in a few days!"It was clear that Matthias truly valued Liam. When he spoke, he was sincere!Mainly because the effe
The head of the Hestia Drug Administration went to South City just to meet Liam!However...Faced with this astonishing scene, Agustine did not react much.His attention was always focused on something else."Mister Kien..."Agustine pointed to the approval document for the White Glycoside Cream under Matthias's hand. "The document you signed, I've already taken it, haven't I?"At this moment, he was in a rush to take the approval document and quickly return it to Grandmaster Burrey!"You..."Upon seeing this, Matthias froze for a moment.How long has Agustine known Grandmaster Burrey, and yet he was already in this situation!"Hurry and take it!" Matthias waved his hand, showing a hint of impatience. "It's just an approval document for a product launch. Why are you in such a hurry?""Thank you, Mister Kien!"Hearing this, Agustine quickly stepped forward and grabbed the approval for White Glycoside Cream tightly in his hand. "About what you said, that you were going to Sou
"Because whether it's the Bellflower or the White Glycoside Cream, they are both products of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation..."Agustine looked up at Matthias and softly responded."What!"Upon hearing Agustine's words, Matthias's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief!Just now, he was too shocked to ask Agustine who owned the White Glycoside Cream. But Matthias had never imagined that the White Glycoside Cream was also a product of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!If the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's initial release of Bellflower was a coincidence, then now, bringing out the White Glycoside Cream means that the Foundation might have even more hidden products!No wonder Agustine said that to find effective treatments, one doesn't need to dig through the earth!"So, you came to Juneau this time because the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation entrusted you?" Matthias looked at Agustine."I don't have the qualifications to be entrusted by the Verdant Harvest Char
