"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
Ida was dissatisfied with Liam at first, but her negative emotions were not that strong.After all, despite Howser losing sensation in his lower body due to practicing the martial arts Liam mentioned, Ida believed that with the medical experts brought by Chester, her grandfather's health could still be restored.Through Chester's descriptions, Ida had some understanding of these exceptional medical experts. She was well aware of their extraordinary skills.However, Ida never imagined that after Qassim examined her grandfather, he would declare himself helpless! This statement implied that Howser might never be able to stand again for the rest of his life.The moment Ida heard Qassim’s words, her resentment toward Liam became uncontrollable. All she wanted now was for Liam to pay the price. However, since her grandfather was still protecting Liam, she needed to find a suitable excuse.Recalling Liam’s boastful claim that only he could resolve her grandfather's condition, a cold g
Howeser waved his hand dismissively, "In my entire life, I've never been willing to be second to anyone. I thought that as I got older, I would no longer have a chance to shine. Who would have thought that in the end, I would face a problem that even the greatest medical experts couldn't solve?"I've lived a worthy life!" Howser laughed heartily.Seeing Howser's demeanor, Chester's eyes filled with a deep sense of sorrow. Having followed Howser for so many years, their relationship evolved far beyond that of master and disciple—they were more like family. Chester understood better than anyone just how strong-willed the old man lying on the bed was. The thought of him spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair was something Chester knew Howser couldn't truly be at peace with, despite the calm front he put on."Sigh," Chester let out another heavy sigh. No one expected a seemingly minor issue to escalate to this extent."Grandpa, don't be so pessimistic!" At that moment, Ida's
Hearing Liam's words, a cold sneer flickered across the face of Ida, who was standing behind him. She could not understand where Liam got the courage to speak like that, especially at this moment."Young man, no matter what kind of medical skills you've learned," Qassim said with a frown, "isn't it a bit excessive to be this arrogant?"He felt he was more than polite to Liam. Yet, Liam seemed rather full of himself."I'm not being arrogant," Liam replied calmly, shaking his head. To him, he was simply expressing his inner thoughts. Regardless of whether Qassim was from the Medical Guild or not, Liam believed he could handle everything before him on his own.However, to Qassim, Liam's calm words sounded extremely arrogant. "Then I want to see what skills you have!" he declared, stepping aside and watching Liam coldly.Liam, however, paid no attention to the surrounding situation. After speaking, he moved to stand beside Howser."Liam," Howser began, opening his mouth as if to sa
It seemed like a new approach was necessary.Liam squinted his eyes, lifted a finger lightly, and applied pressure with the force of twelve cuns, making a subtle vibration."Hmm?"Upon seeing this, Qassim made a surprised sound, standing stunned in place."Master Xera, what’s wrong?" Ida hurriedly asked, noticing the situation."How does he know the Floating Four-Section Pulse Diagnosis?" Qassim stared intently at Liam, his eyes filled with disbelief."Is that method uncommon?" Ida felt a sudden jolt in her heart at Qassim’s sudden change."For ordinary traditional Hestian medicine practitioners, this pulse diagnosis method is completely unknown!" Qassim nodded heavily.The Floating Four-Section Pulse Diagnosis was handed down from the medical sage Jarold Zoriah's 'Golden Chamber Essential Prescriptions'! In the traditional Hestian medicine community, it was been lost. Only within certain medical circles were there scattered inheritances, and even then, most members of those
"Who's making that noise?!"Upon hearing the abrupt voice, Ida frowned deeply and looked up, her anger palpable. They chose this tranquil estate for Howser's recovery precisely because of its quiet environment. Yet now, someone dared to create noise, disturbing Howser!As she glanced toward the source of the sound, she was momentarily taken aback. Nothing seemed out of place. Liam's fingers rested lightly on Howser's wrist, and with each gentle tap of his index finger—Thump—Thump—Thump—A sound, reminiscent of a heartbeat, echoed continuously. Each tap from Liam's finger produced a dull, resonant noise."What is he doing?" Ida, unable to understand the situation, turned to Qassim with a look of dissatisfaction and asked, "Master Xera, what exactly is that fraud Liam doing, making such a loud noise?"However, her question went unanswered. Qassim, upon witnessing the scene, stood rooted to the spot, eyes wide and face filled with shock. Each reverberating sound seemed to strik
"At some point in time, I never dared to imagine that I would be fortunate enough to meet such a Grandmaster of the healing arts!" Qassim could not care less about Ida's thoughts. He gazed in a daze at Liam ahead, his expression full of utmost reverence.Regardless of the impact this had on Qassim and Ida, Liam, after performing the Floating Four-Section Pulse Diagnosis, narrowed his eyes. The conclusion he reached was the same as Qassim's. Aside from the damage caused by the incomplete Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist boxing he performed when he first met Howser, Howser's pulse was steady and strong, showing no signs of any problem. That slight damage could not possibly be the cause of Howser's paralysis. Liam furrowed his brow."G-Grandmaster Burrey!" Qassim seemed to notice Liam's confusion and spoke carefully and respectfully, "I have also felt Mister Ulrick's pulse. Indeed, it is extraordinarily steady without any anomalies. Perhaps Mister Ulrick's issue doesn't stem from th
"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
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
