As Isabela recounted the story, Liam gradually understood what had transpired all those years ago. It all began the year he was imprisoned.

During that time, Isabela and Sunny had partnered with some individuals in a business venture, only to be deceived and trapped in a loan shark scheme.

They ended up deeply in debt.

In the end, not only did they have to sell their house, but Sunny was severely beaten and left with a chronic injury. Despite their efforts, their debt only grew larger and more unmanageable.

Their once happy and harmonious family has been shattered, impoverished, and desperate. Isabela had no choice but to go into hiding to escape the relentless debt collectors. That was why Liam could not find them after his release from prison.

However, even in hiding, Isabela's family could not escape the clutches of the Tiger Gang. In their despair, they considered seeking help from the Lloyd family on Liam's behalf. Liam was behind bars at that time, completely unaware of thei

    Isabela was filled with fear. "Liam, we're no match for them!"Clearly, what Isabela had experienced was far more complex than what she had shared with Liam."Liam..."Sunny and Yanne were eager to say something as they witnessed the scene unfolding before them. Suddenly, chaotic footsteps echoed from outside the door.Boom!The door was violently kicked open. Viktor, the leader of the Tiger Gang, strode in, his arms tattooed with ferocious tigers. He was accompanied by a group of his followers.Damien's eyes lit up at the sight of Viktor. He quickly stood up and approached him, saying, "Mister Petrov! You're finally here!"Viktor frowned as he glanced at the bald man's twisted arm. He could not help but reprimand Damien."Useless scum! I sent you to collect a debt, and you can't even handle such a small task? Do I have to do everything myself?""Mister Petrov, it's not our fault. We really encountered a tough one this time!"The bald man quickly pointed toward Liam and expla

    Isabela rented a place in one of the most rundown buildings in the area. The building had a large open space in front of it.Standing on the second floor, one could see, as the sound of engines continuously echoed, hundreds of black Audi A6 cars driving in one after another from the end of the road. They parked neatly on both sides of the building.Viktor was filled with astonishment. "What is going on?"Why were there so many cars coming heading toward that impoverished place? Electric scooters were a rare sight around those parts, let alone cars.For a moment, his mind was filled with confusion. Soon after, what happened downstairs made Viktor's eyes widen even more. After the hundreds of cars came to a stop, their doors opened one after another. Men in black suits, all burly and imposing, stepped out of the cars. They stood silently by the cars as if waiting for something. The gathering of thousands of men created an overwhelming sense of pressure that made it hard to brea

    Upon realizing what was happening, Viktor suddenly froze, hastily turning around.At the same time, Nathaniel was already walking toward Liam, closing the distance quickly.Isabela bit her lip, her face filled with panic as she rushed forward with a forced smile. "Sir, please let us know if we've done anything wrong. We are willing to make amends as long as you spare us."Isabela had no idea who Nathaniel was, but seeing the thousands of people downstairs filled her with despair. They did not even have a chance to run!Isabela initially thought the man was with Viktor. However, after seeing Viktor's fawning reaction, she realized he must be someone even Viktor could not afford to offend.The realization only deepened Isabela's fear. What could someone so powerful, someone even Viktor feared, want with them? Was fate not done tormenting them yet?Despite her despair, Isabela worried about implicating Liam, so she bravely stepped forward. However, before she could finish speaking

    Liam shook his head and replied calmly, "Take your time."He had already planned to discuss matters with Nathaniel a few days earlier. The situation involving the Tiger Gang was conveniently related to the underground organizations in South City, prompting Liam to call Nathaniel. So far, Nathaniel's response seemed satisfactory."Have you heard of the Tiger Gang?" Liam asked casually.Nathaniel froze for a moment. He furrowed his brow, lost in thought. Although there were many underground gangs in South City, Nathaniel generally only paid attention to the three major organizations, given his status. However, since Liam had asked, there had to be a reason.As he pondered with a furrowed brow, Nathaniel finally remembered and looked at Liam. "The Tiger Gang is a small gang in the eastern district of South City, mainly involved in loan sharking. Mister Burrey, is there something you need?"Liam turned to Damien and asked indifferently, "Didn't you say that offending the Tiger Gang

    Liam watched as Viktor trembled violently after receiving a slap from Nathaniel.However, Viktor did not dare to utter a single word. His pleading eyes were fixed on Liam, desperately hoping for forgiveness."Compensate the Zaffrey family with all the assets of the Tiger Gang," Liam said calmly."Of course! I will immediately return and liquidate all the Tiger Gang's assets and offer them as compensation!" Viktor nodded repeatedly, agreeing without hesitation. To him, losing the gang's assets was manageable. They could be earned back. However, offending the unfathomably terrifying man before him was a disaster he could not afford.Liam shook his head and replied, "I wasn't speaking to you."He then turned to Nathaniel and continued, "Once you've liquidated the Tiger Gang's assets for compensation, the gang itself will no longer have a reason to exist."Liam glanced at Isabela and added, "Moreover, I don't want to see any gangs like the Tiger Gang engaging in loan-sharking in So

    Isabela's family had never imagined they would witness such a scene one day! The Tiger Gang was an unbeatable force in their minds. Otherwise, they would not have been driven to such a state by the gang.However, with just a single sentence, Liam had effortlessly made the gang, which had caused them endless pain and torment, disappear! Moreover, Liam intended to eliminate all loan shark-related gangs in South City. It felt like a dream to Isabela's family. They doubted whether it was real or not!However, the hundreds of Audi A6 cars parked downstairs, the thousands of men in black suits standing quietly beside the cars, and Viktor's reaction clearly conveyed the reality of the situation. The young boy they had watched grow up had come to possess such formidable power!"Liam..."Isabela looked at Liam with a blank expression, her mind completely blank. Just a moment ago, she had been thinking about protecting Liam. She was not the only one. Sunny and Yanne were also standin

    "Liam, can his condition be cured?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Isabela jerked her head up to look at him anxiously. Compared to money, Isabela was most concerned about Sunny's health. It had always been a source of pain in her heart.Liam smiled and nodded. "Of course. It can be cured, but it requires some medication. I didn't bring the herbs today, so I can't treat him now. Aunt Isabela, wait a couple of days for me to come back, and I'll help Uncle Sunny with his recovery. He'll be healthy again in no time."Isabela clapped her hands, and a bright smile appeared on her face. "That's wonderful! You have no idea how much I've worried because of your Uncle Sunny's health issues! Liam, it's really great to have you back!"After everything that had happened, she had developed an unconditional trust in Liam. Since he said Sunny's health could be restored, she believed it without question.Liam glanced around the house as he suggested, "Aunt Isabela, why don't you come and stay at my p

    Isabela hesitated before she spoke. "Liam, your past is far more complicated than you think.""Aunt Isabela, what is going on?" Liam frowned.Isabela sighed heavily. "I guess I should start from the very beginning."The truth is, my relationship with your mother wasn't as simple as she claimed. We weren't just co-workers in the same factory. I first met your mother one night during a heavy rainstorm. I was walking home along the railway when I saw your mother, heavily pregnant, lying in a pool of blood. She was alone and unconscious. I was terrified and immediately called Uncle Sunny to help me take her to the hospital."When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor said your mother was in critical condition and might not survive. At that moment, she regained consciousness. With her last bit of strength, she told the doctors not to worry about her but to save you at all costs. Fortunately, both of you made it through that night." Isabela looked up at Liam and continued, "You were b

    "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

    It was not just Hansen and the others. Agustine, standing at the back, was also stunned.He had never expected what was happening in front of him!At first, Agustine only thought that after Matthias learned about the efficacy of the White Glycoside Cream, he would quickly sign the market approval documents!So, when Matthias notified all the department heads, Agustine still had no idea what was going on! But who would have known?In the next moment, he heard Matthias's new command!Just the effect of the White Glycoside Cream alone had changed all of Matthias's previous views!His series of new commands now meant that the entire Hestian drug supervision department would have to change its attitude toward ancient Hestian medicine!From once looking down on traditional Hestian medicine, they now aimed to actively seek new Hestian herbal medicines!Agustine had not expected that his initial, accidental action would cause such profound effects.At the same time, the people in th

    "Mister Kien, please speak!"Hearing Matthias's words, everyone in the room immediately straightened their postures, their expressions turning serious.Hansen, standing at the forefront, felt a twinge of nervousness.The current situation inexplicably gave him the feeling that something major was about to happen!"Regarding the recent policies our Pharmaceutical Supervision Department implemented for the approval of traditional Hestian medicine for market entry, I propose some changes," Matthias began."Any traditional Hestian medicine applying for approval must undergo special consideration and independent verification of its effectiveness."As long as the medicine meets efficacy standards, we will open a green channel for expedited processing, aiming to complete the approval within five days!"However, if any such medicine is found to involve false advertising, the company responsible will be blacklisted completely, and all its products will be barred from submission for testi

    After hearing Agustine's response, Matthias was utterly speechless.This was simply too astonishing!The situation unfolding before him was nothing like what he initially anticipated.At first, Matthias intended to use himself as an example to persuade Agustine not to blindly trust traditional Hestian medicine. But he never expected that the White Glycoside Cream would actually work!Not only did it work—it worked so well that it shocked him!If Matthias were not absolutely certain he was wide awake, he might have thought he was dreaming.This was nothing short of a miracle!"Agustine..."A long silence followed.Finally, Matthias's voice broke the stillness. He stared blankly at Agustine, his voice dry and hoarse. "Are you sure this ointment... is actually traditional Hestian medicine?"It was more than just traditional Hestian medicine!The efficacy of the White Glycoside Cream had already surpassed Matthias's understanding of medicine itself."Mister Kien, that's why I s

    "Mister Kien, please don't move."Seeing the scene before him, Agustine hurriedly grabbed the White Glycoside Cream and walked over.Then, with a look of heartfelt concern in his eyes, he gently applied the White Glycoside Cream to the scar on Matthias's lower abdomen.There was barely any of the ointment left!"You..." Matthias was speechless as he watched Agustine's behavior.Right now, Agustine seemed completely bewitched!"All done!"After applying the ointment, Agustine smiled with satisfaction."That's it?"Matthias's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Agustine."Agustine, can you wake up already? Is this the so-called miraculous herbal medicine you were raving about?"At first, Matthias had thought Agustine was under some kind of spell when he enthusiastically praised the White Glycoside Cream.He had imagined it would at least produce some noticeable reaction—like those street charlatans with their so-called miracle cures relying on tricks to deceive people.
