Serena never anticipated it. Her renewed trust in Liam only led to more pain in the end! His actions were even more outrageous. Not only did he deceive Howser, but he also duped the Lloyd family.Reflecting on the faint hope she once held for Liam, Serena felt like a fool. A fool who, despite being hurt by him once or twice, still failed to realize the truth. She lowered her head and let out a self-mocking smile.At that moment, Serena felt a void in her heart. Despite her inner turmoil, the issue remained unresolved.Ida was furious. "My grandfather is bedridden and immobile. How else could he react? Everything started because you deceived my grandfather into practicing that so-called martial arts!"Preston told me it was you who introduced it to my grandfather that day. Before that, he had been practicing martial arts for decades without any issues. However, after learning your new technique, he gradually lost sensation in his lower body!"She glared fiercely at Liam.Liam fr
As a result, when they spoke, there was no longer any of the caution and politeness they once had. Worried about being implicated by Ida's retaliation, Hailey hurriedly distanced herself from Liam.Looking at Hailey's demeanor, there was no trace of the earlier flattery left.However, Liam could not care less about the ridicule and mockery from the Lloyd family. He furrowed his brows tightly, contemplating what Ida had just said about Howser's condition. The sudden deterioration of Howser's health was not a good sign.The next moment, Liam raised his head and looked seriously at Ida. "I have to check on Howser's condition.""You still dare to see my grandfather?"Ida's eyes widened, and the anger on her face was almost uncontrollable. However, she calmed down abruptly, staring at Liam with a cold smile. "It might be good for you to see him. Once you do, you'll understand just what you've done to him! Even in death, I'll make sure you die with some peace!"With a frosty expression
Ronald sighed deeply as he listened to Etchen's words."Liam is the one who convinced Mister Ulrick to visit. We all know what kind of person he is. We should never have placed any hope in him. It was the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation that clouded our judgment!""Dad! Stop talking about the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!" Etchen snapped.Ronald let out a bitter laugh. "Now, I even suspect Liam lied about owning the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Even though I don't understand why they ended their partnership with the Irving family and chose to collaborate with us instead, I still think it has nothing to do with Liam!"His face was full of sarcasm. "Don't forget. Earlier, Liam claimed that the Warchester family and the Fowler Society's issues were also because of him!"Can't you see? This liar has made lying a habit!"There are indeed some problems!"Nodding in agreement, Ronald continued, "After all, the owner of such a significant foundation couldn't possibly be
Sam glanced at Serena again and shook his head, listening to the surrounding murmurs.Serena's beautiful face grew even paler. She kept her head down and stayed silent.The once cold and proud female CEO appeared as if all her spirit had been drained.Meanwhile, as the Lloyd family members continued to discuss Liam, even pointing fingers at Serena, a different scene was unfolding inside the Rolls-Royce.Ida stared coldly at Liam, who sat opposite her, and yelled at him."I don't know what kind of spell you cast on my grandfather! He's bedridden, yet he insists it's not your fault and is determined to keep this appointment! I'm not like my grandfather. I will never trust a fraud like you! My grandfather is undergoing critical treatment right now. If anything happens to him, I'll make you pay!"Ida had come to the Lloyd family to visit on behalf of Howser. However, due to her own impulsive decisions, the visit had turned into a confrontation.Liam replied calmly, "I told you befor
"Just you wait!"Ida cast one last cold glance at Liam before turning away. Liam, however, had already seen through everything. He shook his head, dismissing Ida."The Medical Guild?"The words Ida had mentioned lingered in his mind, causing him to squint slightly.Not long after, the Rolls-Royce stopped outside an estate. Howser owned multiple properties in South City, so they had not come to the Hush Purple Gardens."We're here!"Ida stepped out of the car, casting another cold glance at Liam. "My grandfather is upstairs. He's about to receive treatment. You better pray nothing happens to him."She then led her entourage upstairs. Liam followed suit, keeping pace with the group.They soon arrived at the second-floor corridor. Due to Howser's illness, many people were anxiously gathered there. Among them was Preston, whom Liam had previously met at the Hush Purple Gardens.However, the most striking figure in the crowd was a tall man standing at the front, exuding a commandin
Liam did not speak yet when Ida's furious voice suddenly burst out. "I just can't understand who gave him the courage to say such things!"If it weren't for my grandfather's unwavering protection, I would've taught him a lesson long ago!"Ida looked coldly at Liam.Hearing Ida's words, Chester could not help but frown. He heard plenty about Liam from Howser. Although the real cause of Howser's paralysis was yet to be determined, he knew that Howser's health rapidly deteriorated after he started learning martial arts from Liam. Moreover, he never heard Howser mention that Liam had any medical skills. How was it now that the old man's condition could only be resolved by him?However, unlike Ida, Chester did not immediately assume Liam was a fraud."Go downstairs and wait," Chester said, shaking his head after glancing at Liam. "You don't need to worry about the old man's situation."In consideration of Howser, Chester felt he was already being courteous enough to Liam. Who would
"Yes, it's me." Hearing the voice from the room ahead, Liam raised his head."Could it be Liam?" Upon hearing Liam's confirmation, Howser was instantly thrilled. He quickly ordered, "Chester, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring Liam in!""Come with me." At Howser's words, Chester shook his head slightly. Then, he went to the door and opened it for Liam. The icy glint in Liam's eyes gradually faded as he stepped past Chester and entered the room. After Liam entered, Chester let out a long sigh, giving Liam a deep look. Upon closer inspection, one could see beads of sweat dotting Chester's forehead. "That brat, he is quite intimidating!" Although he did not know how Liam managed it, Chester was reluctant to admit it. But in that moment when Liam started the countdown, the Underground Emperor of South City felt the most profound fear he ever experienced. It was as if, in that instant, he was facing not a man but a god of immense power. Shaking his head
Liam never showcased his martial arts skills.Although he mentioned that martial arts were meant for killing, Howser suspected there was something more to it, some unspeakable secret Liam was hiding. Worried about hitting a sore spot, Howser decided not to press further."A special reason?" Ida sneered. "I think it's because he doesn't know how! This time, as soon as he heard that Grandpa had problems after practicing his Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist, he rushed over to see you!"Isn't this behavior proof that he knows his technique is flawed and feels guilty?" Ida was furious."I'm here for Howser's health," Liam's calm voice interrupted before Howser could speak."For my grandfather's health?" Ida's tone turned even more mocking. "You paralyzed my grandfather with your fake martial arts, and now you're pretending to treat him, thinking you can deceive us again! With so many people here, I want to see how you plan to deceive us this time!"She stepped back, giving Liam more s
"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.
