Liam listened attentively as Lucy explained to him. He nodded lightly but was still a bit curious and asked, "The idea is quite good, but why did you think of starting a pharmaceutical project?"With a smile, Lucy replied, "The reason for choosing a pharmaceutical project is simple. By doing this project, we can help more people. Another reason is that a girl from a family we had helped gave us an ancient medical prescription during a charity event."Grandmaster Burrey, we placed great importance on ancient oriental medicine because of your influence. After receiving this prescription, we didn't take it lightly. Instead, we verified it through multiple channels and consulted a well-known ancient Hestian medicine master from Hestia, who confirmed the authenticity and efficacy of the prescription."Its effects are extraordinary. When we received these results, I thought it might be a form of reciprocation.""Is that so?"Liam was slightly surprised. He had not expected that they wou
Liam also smiled upon hearing Lucy's words. "Yes, it has been a while since we last met. How is Mister Hill Senior doing lately?"Lucy squinted as she smiled brightly. "My grandfather is doing well. He doesn't have to worry much about family matters, eats well, and sleeps soundly. However, because the mastermind behind the attack hasn't been found, he has to stay in the Everluster Pavilion. This time, when he heard you were coming to the Hill family, he regretted not being able to meet you in person."Liam shook his head. "There's no need for regrets. Are there any leads on the mastermind?"Lucy's gentle smile hid the coldness in her words. "We do have leads! Thanks to the information you provided about the two assassins last time, we've gathered a lot of intel. We should be able to find that elusive rat soon!"After encountering Serpentine and Triboar, Liam shared relevant information with the Hill family. It seemed they had made progress.Liam nodded. "That's good. Remember to i
A hint of hesitation flickered across Lucy's face."Furthermore, when we spoke with the Danzel family earlier, they immediately mentioned that the family in question had informed them about the missing ingredients in the prescription. So, it seems they genuinely know about this prescription."Liam furrowed his brows instantly. "Is that so?"Lucy hurriedly spoke up again upon seeing Liam's reaction. "Grandmaster Burrey, you don't need to worry. The Danzel family has already sent someone over. Once we make contact, we can resolve the prescription issue quickly without any further trouble."Lucy sighed softly. "When we first obtained this prescription, we didn't expect such a situation to arise."Liam squinted his eyes and asked, "Where are the people from the Danzel family now?""They're in the reception room," Lucy responded.Liam replied calmly as he stepped forward, "Let's go. Let's meet these people from the Danzel family.""Grandmaster Burrey…"Lucy was momentarily stunned.
Lucy sighed softly and said, "Mister Danzel, we didn't steal the prescription. If this prescription had been obtained improperly, we wouldn't have dared ask Master Ferguson to verify it at that time."As she spoke, she looked up and saw the elderly man behind Morgan. She was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Master Ferguson? What brings you here?"The old man standing behind Morgan was indeed Callum Ferguson, the renowned ancient Hestian medicine master they had sought out earlier.As a direct disciple in the lineage of Stonecrest from the ancient times, Callum's medical skills were renowned throughout Hestia.As a member of the ancient Hestian Medical Guild, Callum was particularly skilled in identifying medicinal herbs and using medicinal decoctions to save lives.That was precisely why the Hill family had chosen to bring the prescription to Callum for verification.Lucy had not expected Callum to be there."Master Ferguson is the Danzel family's appointed professor of Hesti
It seemed that Callum also revealed the missing ingredients in the prescription to the Denzel family.Lucy icily glared at Morgan. "What do you want?"Morgan sneered at her words. "Your family stole our prescription, and now you're asking us what we want? You have quite the nerve!""You..."Lucy was momentarily stunned by his response. They were indeed at a disadvantage when it came to owning the prescription.Lucy took a deep breath and spoke again. "Just say it. What do you want? You wouldn't have come here just to accuse us of stealing your prescription."Morgan snorted, a sly look crossing his face. "Of course, we're here to reclaim our lost prescription! However, we initially intended to mass-produce this medication, and I heard you planned to use it for a charitable project. Therefore, the Denzel family won't hold you accountable for stealing our prescription."After all, you've already done a lot of preliminary work. It wouldn't be fair to let your efforts go to waste. Yo
"Grandmaster Burrey, please wait a moment!"Hearing Liam's words, Lucy trembled and instantly jolted up. She hurriedly turned around and ran to the table on one side of the reception hall. After grabbing the prescription from the table, she quickly handed it to Liam. "Grandmaster Burrey, the prescription is here. You can take a look."Liam reached out and took the crumpled prescription from Lucy's hand.Morgan frowned when he watched the pair.When he first saw Liam, he assumed the young man was an insignificant figure from the Hill family. However, judging by Lucy's attitude, the young man's identity seemed far more complex.Even so, Morgan showed a hint of disdain when he looked at Liam and scoffed, "Do you think you can casually look at our family's ancestral prescription?"Despite his words, Morgan did not stop Liam from examining the prescription. After all, he believed the prescription undeniably belonged to the Denzel family. He could not imagine that this young man cou
Liam had initially been told the name of the prescription by Callum, but he soon forgot it."The ancestral prescription of the Denzel family is named the Spring Dawn Tincture," Callum said while stroking his beard.At that time, the name of the prescription had been written on the recipe Lucy showed him.Liam smirked as he looked at Callum."Yes, this prescription is indeed named the Spring Dawn Tincture, but this is a prescription from the Compendium of Ancient Tincture, written by the infamous Zachary Bander of the Morlem Dynasty. How did it become the ancestral property of the Denzel family? Could it be that the Denzel family's ancestors were initially surnamed 'Bander'?"Callum's body trembled the moment Liam spoke, and his eyes widened. "The Compendium of Ancient Tincture?"As a fellow practitioner of ancient Hestian medicine, Callum had long heard of the famous medical work.There was no one in the field of ancient Hestian medicine who did not know about the groundbreaking
As soon as Liam finished speaking, a trace of astonishment flashed across Morgan's face. He looked at Liam and asked, "Is it really that simple? Are you saying you can decide on the profit distribution after the drug goes into production?""Naturally," Liam nodded casually.Morgan chuckled disdainfully at Liam, looking at him as if he were a fool. "Hah! You're really asking for trouble!"Then, he turned to Callum as he cupped his hands and added confidently, "Master Ferguson, I'll leave you to it!"Callum stroked his beard with a self-satisfied look. "It's no trouble. Since this youngster wants to see me concoct the medicine firsthand, I won't hide anything."As he spoke, he looked at Liam with mockery in his eyes. "However, the price for me to handle this isn't small!"They all thought Liam's actions were simply foolish.Lucy's face flashed with anxiety upon hearing Liam's decision. "Grandmaster Burrey..."She knew Liam had their best interests at heart. He wanted to use Callu
For him, revealing his identity was never a concern. Liam had never deliberately concealed who he was. He simply did not want unnecessary trouble. "Alright." Hearing Liam's response, Lucy gently nodded. "I just hope that through our efforts, we can gradually change the perception of traditional Hestian medicine among the people of Hestia." Liam lifted his gaze toward the pharmaceutical factory operating in the distance, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. This was what he had always wanted to accomplish! "Grandmaster Burrey, don't worry. It will happen!" Standing behind Liam, Lucy looked as picturesque as a painting. Her delicate face was adorned with a radiant smile. She had never doubted Liam. The Next Day After wrapping up their affairs, Liam and Lucy returned to South City together. Liam had not asked Lucy to accompany him, but she mentioned that she had other matters to handle at the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's South City branch.
"Ginland..." Thinking of that place, Liam let out a cold snort. "Are there any other particularly difficult issues?" He turned his head to look at Lucy and asked. "There's nothing else too tricky left." Lucy looked at Liam with a smile. "We've taken care of everything." For them, the most difficult times had already passed. But before seeing Liam, they still felt somewhat unsettled. Now that he was here, Lucy and the others could finally put their minds at ease. "Then let's go check out the White Glycoside Cream production facility." Even though Lucy told Liam that everything had been handled, he couldn't just ignore it completely. Liam still decided to visit the production site himself. "No problem." Lucy's smile grew even brighter. She actually wanted Liam to see the results of their hard work over this period. If they could earn some praise from Grandmaster Burrey, that would be even better. Without delay, after instructing the driver on the
Shortly after, Liam exchanged a few more words with Gabriel before ending the call. Even after hanging up, Liam could still sense the aura behind him growing increasingly chaotic. For a grandmaster of martial arts to have such a reaction, it was clear that Bluebird's heart had been deeply shaken. Even though her strength was already formidable, the Central Military Region had been the place where she had spent the first half of her life. "It's fine. I'm here." Without turning around, Liam spoke calmly, "As long as you don't want to go back, no one can force you to." Although he still didn't know what Bluebird planned for the future, this was one thing he could easily promise her. The moment she heard his words, the turbulence in Bluebird's aura immediately settled. Sensing this, Liam smiled faintly. "Grandmaster Burrey… what did you just say?" At that moment, Lucy looked at Liam curiously. It seemed like she had caught him saying something earlier. "Nothin
Hearing Gabriel's words over the phone, Liam paused. There was no denying it—Gabriel was truly clever. Beneath his seemingly simple and honest appearance lay a sharp sense of perception. The moment he sensed that Liam might be angry, he immediately apologized. Just like that, the anger that had started to rise within Liam subsided slightly. "Grandmaster Burrey, getting mad at someone like me isn't worth it!" When he did not hear a response from Liam for a long time, Gabriel cautiously spoke up again. "I never said I wouldn't provide the Central Military Region with the White Glycoside Cream." Noticing Gabriel's shameless persistence, a trace of helplessness flashed in Liam's eyes. "Recently, the supply of White Glycoside Cream has been limited. "I also care about the soldiers in the Central Military Region. If production stabilizes in the future, I will naturally increase the supply for them." "I know, I know! Grandmaster Burrey, I understand!" Sensing that L
"I..." Liam furrowed his brows, about to say something more to Lucy. But just then… Ring, ring— Lucy's phone rang again. She glanced down at the screen, and the moment she saw the caller ID, she froze for a second. Then, with a sigh, she turned to Liam with a helpless smile. "Grandmaster Burrey, see what I mean?" She shook her head. "I just mentioned Commander Warren, and now he's calling again!" "Give me the phone." Liam's expression darkened as he gestured for her to hand it over. Without hesitation, Lucy obediently passed the phone to him. Liam picked up the call without a second thought. "Miss Hill, how's the matter I asked about yesterday? I heard that the production of White Glycoside Cream ointment has stabilized recently!" "Come on, have a little mercy and allocate more for the Central Military Region. The soldiers have it tough!" "You know how close I am with Grandmaster Burrey. If he asks, I'd even jump into boiling oil for him!" "
"What's going on?" Hearing Lucy's words, Liam turned his head. At first, he thought the biggest issue with the White Glycoside Cream was likely its production capacity. But to his surprise, that problem had already been mostly resolved by Lucy and the others. Thinking about it, it made sense. Otherwise, the ointment would not have had enough stock to be sold in Juneau. "The production capacity of White Glycoside Cream has stabilized. As long as we maintain the current output, there shouldn't be any major issues," Lucy said, lifting her head to look at Liam again. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face. "But the main problem now is that certain high-profile clients want a larger allocation of the ointment." "They want more?" Liam was slightly taken aback. He responded, "If someone is asking for an unreasonable amount, just refuse them." "Given the current standing of our Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, is there anyone we can't afford to turn down?" His
However, at this moment, Liam, who was already on a flight back to the provincial capital, was completely unaware of any of this. He also had no idea that the Minister of the Hestia Drug Administration was growing impatient and eager to head to South City to settle accounts with him. If not for the ongoing impact of the White Glycoside Cream, Matthias might have already rushed to South City to confront him! Seated on the plane, Liam closed his eyes and began to doze off. The past few days had been exhausting, and he hadn't had a chance to rest properly. When he woke up, the plane was already preparing to land. Looking out at the familiar scenery through the window, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Although he hadn't been away from Qyn Province for long, returning still gave him a sense of coming home. He had always been somewhat nostalgic. The moment he stepped out of the airport, Lucy was already waiting at the entrance with a group of people. Judging by
"Grandmaster Burrey, I'll book your flight for you!" Hearing Liam's words, Lucy's voice was filled with excitement. Even though she was not sure what Liam's return could change, just knowing that Grandmaster Burrey was coming back made her feel a bit more at ease. "Alright." Liam nodded. After exchanging a few more words with Lucy, he hung up the phone. Lucy had already booked him the earliest available flight back to the provincial capital of Qyn Province. Liam looked up at the long queue ahead, a wry smile flashing across his face once again. He never expected this. Not being able to sell White Glycoside Cream had been frustrating. But selling too much of it turned out to be an even bigger headache. "Sigh…" Liam shook his head helplessly and turned to hail a taxi to Juneau. However… What Liam did not realize was that the explosive sales of White Glycoside Cream were not just putting pressure on Lucy alone. Not far from where he was, at the to
"You have no idea what kind of life we've been living ever since the White Glycoside Cream became a sensation..." As she spoke, her voice trembled, and she was on the verge of tears. It wasn't that Lucy had a weak tolerance for pressure. It was just that the stress they had endured during this period was simply overwhelming! The moment Lucy saw the long queue outside Midshine Pharmacy, all waiting to buy the White Glycoside Cream, she rushed back and immediately ramped up production. But even so— The supply of White Glycoside Cream was still far from enough. By the third day of its effects going viral, demand had already far outstripped supply. The production couldn't keep up at all! The impact it had was several times greater than when Bellflower Root first hit the market! Once people started realizing just how effective the White Glycoside Cream was— Not only ordinary consumers— Even the officials of Hestia, and even the military, reached out to the V
