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
The decoction process involved understanding the nature of the herbs. Raw herbs were sharp and acted quickly, while processed ones had a more refined and gentle effect. When Callum began preparing the medicine, it was evident that he was indeed a renowned traditional Hestian medicine master.Based on the prescription, Callum leveraged his extensive experience to bring out the best qualities of each herb. His control over the heat during the decoction process was precise and masterful. Moreover, perhaps motivated by his bet with Liam, Callum's performance was exceptional.As time passed, a faint bitterness filled the air. When Callum added the final ingredient, two ounces of roasted licorice, and saw it dissolve, he swiftly removed the pot from the heat.The tonic was complete.Turning to Morgan, Callum nodded. "Are the contract documents ready?"Morgan sneered at Liam. "You won't back out of the deal, will you?"Liam raised an eyebrow, glancing at the dark tonic in the pot. "
Morgan collapsed to the ground, his face twisted in pain as he pointed at Liam and shouted, "Despicable scoundrel, you poisoned us! You shameless creature! The Denzel family will not let you get away with this—"However, before he could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him."Poisoned?"Liam shook his head, a mocking expression flashing across his handsome face. "Do you think you're worthy of being poisoned by me?"Morgan's face contorted with rage. "If it weren't for you, you wretched thing, how else would we end up like this?""The Compendium of Ancient Tincture states that the Spring Dawn Tincture is highly nourishing and has the effect of restoring and boosting vitality. However, if the medicine isn't properly prepared and the efficacy is not fully realized, it'll cause a surge in vitality."A young person might withstand it, but someone weak will suffer a backlash from the excessive nourishment. The first person who tried the medicine was probably young enough to resist the
Callum never imagined in his wildest dreams that the young man actually possessed such astonishing medical skills. Just the technique Liam had demonstrated earlier had already exceeded his expectations.Recalling the words Liam had once spoken, Callum's body trembled. If the miraculous formula for the Spring Dawn Tincture indeed came from the ancient Compendium of Ancient Tincture, did that mean the young man in front of him actually knew the long-lost medical treatise?How had the ancient Hestian medical community not heard of the young man? Who was he?Lucy was also stunned. Initially, she thought Liam's acupuncture skills were unparalleled, but he might not be familiar with herbal medicine. However, everything that had just happened shattered her understanding of Liam once again.Lucy gazed at Liam's tall figure, her expression dazed as she muttered, "Liam... What other secrets are you hiding from me?"Suddenly, a foolish voice jolted Lucy back to reality.Morgan plastered a f
Liam was momentarily stunned. "What's wrong?"A trace of helplessness flickered across Lucy's charming face. "I thought this prescription was a rare and precious formula. Who knew, Grandmaster Burrey, that you'd understand the prescription better than us? Given the difficulty in preparing the Spring Dawn Tincture, we simply can't scale it up for the market."Liam nodded. "That's true. The preparation method of the Spring Dawn Tincture indeed can't be mass-produced."The final step required a vast amount of inner energy, something an average person couldn't achieve.Seeing that even Liam could not find a way, a look of complete disappointment flashed on Lucy's face as she sighed. But soon, she lifted her head to look at Liam. "Don't worry, Grandmaster Burrey. Even though our charity foundation's pharmaceutical project can't continue, I can find other new projects to improve our foundation!""Why can't the pharmaceutical project continue?" Liam asked in surprise.Lucy looked up in
"Grandmaster Burrey..."Thinking about those things made Lucy suddenly look up, a flicker of confusion in her eyes as she gazed at him.At that moment, she began to understand why Julian was always respectful toward Liam. The upright figure in front of her seemed capable of anything.The realization quickened her heartbeat.Liam's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Note down the recipe for the Vitality Aid Powder.""Yes, Grandmaster Burrey," Lucy responded quickly, grabbing paper and a pen."Three ounces of Atractylodes, one ounce each of Poria and dried tangerine peel, one and a half ounces of lotus seeds, half an ounce of malt. Ground them into a powder before adding two ounces of white sugar..."As Liam calmly listed the ingredients, Lucy diligently recorded the recipe."The decoction method for the Vitality Aid Powder is straightforward and simple," Liam continued once she had finished writing.Suddenly, as if remembering something, Liam looked at her and said, "However, sin
Lucy sensed the sudden shift in Liam's emotions as she looked up at him. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the omnipotent Liam seemed a bit melancholic."Grandmaster Burrey? What's wrong?"However, Liam quickly adjusted his emotions and looked down at Lucy. "Nothing. I just think the name you chose is exceptionally beautiful."Lucy shook her head, a charming smile appearing on her face. "It's a good thing you were here this time, Grandmaster Burrey."She looked up at Liam, her eyes like autumn waters, and added seriously, "If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't have known what to do!"Liam smiled. "It's nothing. After all, the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is a project we established together.""Together?" Lucy murmured.She had already decided to make the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, which she and Liam established, the best foundation in the world!However, Lucy did not reveal her inner thoughts.She looked up at Liam and smiled. "Liam, the matter has been
The secretary gave Serena a once-over and asked, "You're looking for Mister Lloyd? Do you have an appointment?"Serena grew slightly annoyed. "I'm Serena Lloyd! Do I need an appointment to see Etchen?"The secretary scowled in disdain. "No matter who you are, you need an appointment to see Mister Lloyd. Besides, Mister Lloyd is out for a meeting and hasn't returned yet."Serena was momentarily taken aback. "Out for a meeting and hasn't returned? What kind of meeting begins so early in the morning?"The secretary rolled her eyes even more exaggeratedly. "How would I know?"Serena's eyes flashed with a trace of anger. However, she knew it was not the time to argue with the secretary.Ignoring the secretary blocking the door, she turned around, took out her phone, and dialed Etchen's number.As soon as the call connected, Etchen's arrogant voice came through. "Serena! Calling me so early, what's wrong with you? Don't bother me if there's nothing important! I'm very busy!"Serena t
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Jerry hurried over to Liam, came to a halt, and saluted respectfully before quickly explaining, "There was an unexpected situation just now, and Commander Warren had to handle it, so he couldn't come to pick you up!" "I hope you understand!" As he spoke, he was clearly worried about displeasing Liam. "It's fine." Hearing this, Liam gently shook his head. He never really cared about such matters. However, when he saw the grand convoy behind him, he couldn't help but sigh again. "Didn't I tell Gabriel before to avoid all this unnecessary fuss?" Every time Gabriel came to see him, the scene he created always gave Liam a headache. "Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing Liam's words, Jerry froze momentarily before cautiously raising his head to look at him. "Commander Warren specifically instructed us that the most important thing is to ensure your safety…" "Alright then…" Liam sighed helplessly. He could tell that Gabriel meant well, but thi
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
