As Lilly disappeared into the distance, Isabela let out a long sigh of relief.Despite the significant pressure they faced in purchasing the house, Isabela felt no regret at all. After all, buying a house in Vientiane Bay did not drastically improve just their living environment. More importantly, it ensured that Yanne could attend the best school in South City!Thinking about how her family would finally have a new home, Isabela could not suppress the bright smile on her face.Although Sunny had not said anything, he clearly supported Isabela's decision."At worst, we'll just work a bit harder in the future," he said, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes."Aunt Isabela, you really don't need to worry so much about the house payment—"Since the decision was made, Liam finally felt he could speak up. He was about to share his plans, but Isabela interrupted him again just as he started."We're not worried about it," Isabela said with a smile, shaking her head. "Your Uncle
Liam's frown deepened. "What are you doing now?"Francis was displeased by the scene. "What exactly is going on?"Lilly quickly responded, "Mister Kongo, it's nothing. You don't need to worry! They were just looking at the same house earlier!"Isabela hurried over and explained to Lilly. "We even said we wanted to buy it! Did you forget? After we said we wanted to buy it, you promised to get the contract for us. We've been waiting for you!"Lilly rolled her eyes. "Did you pay?""We haven't paid yet since we didn't get the contract—"Isabela was abruptly cut off by Lilly. "Then, it's settled! No payment means you're still waiting."She turned to Francis with a flattering smile. "It's fine, Mister Kongo. Just proceed with the payment. This is a small matter. I can handle it."Isabela became anxious. "We've been waiting for you for so long..."Lilly's face remained expressionless. "Well, I'm sorry you waited in vain. As you just saw earlier, the last house has already been sold!"
Upon hearing Lilly's words, Isabela's face changed dramatically. "What's that supposed to mean?""What do you think I mean? I think I made myself clear! The house cannot be sold to you!" Lilly looked at Francis and continued with an air of righteousness, "Even though you have the full payment, I forgot to mention earlier that besides prioritizing full payments, we have another rule in Vientiane Bay—if someone buys a second house in Vientiane Bay, they also get priority!" Lily looked at Isabela with disdain, her nose high in the air."Do you know who Mister Kongo is? He's Francis Kongo, the executive director of Enfield Group in South City worth tens of millions! Besides this hundred square meter house, he has already bought a two hundred and thirty square meter house in Vientiane Bay! Naturally, he has the priority to buy a second house. Do you think you have the qualifications to compete with Mister Kongo for a house?" Lilly was fearless and smug.Liam chuckled in exasperatio
"Alright, I don't need to see any other types of houses in Vientiane Bay."Liam's voice suddenly rang out. He pulled out the Centurion Black Card that Howser had given him and tossed it in front of Lilly icily."I'll take the four hundred and thirty square meter house. Now that I have a house in Vientiane Bay, I should be able to buy that hundred-square-meter house. Or, do you have some new policy?""I..."Lilly was stunned. Clearly, she had not expected the turn of events.A mocking smile flashed across Lilly's face. She sneered and said disdainfully, "What are you thinking? Have you gone mad, wanting to buy a house? Do you think you can buy the most expensive house in Vientiane Bay with just a card? Do you even know how much that house costs? Now, you think you own a house in Vientiane Bay? Do you think I'm the one who's crazy, or are you out of your mind?"Lilly's face was full of ridicule.Isabela grew anxious as she quickly tugged at Liam. "Liam, what are you doing? Didn't
The extent of Howser's power was unknown even to Francis. However, he did know that Chester, who respectfully called Howser his teacher, had become the undisputed Underground Emperor of South City with the old man's help. Francis had only learned by chance at an event that Howser possessed the only custom-made Black Gold Centurion Card in South City. However, he had never imagined that he would see this card with his own eyes one day.Francis never doubted the authenticity of the card before him. In South City, no one dared to forge this card. The fact that Howser was willing to give his prized Centurion Card to someone else suggested that the young man in front of him had a far more terrifying identity than he had ever imagined.Recalling his earlier words and attitude toward Liam, Francis felt a chill run through his body. He raised his head and looked at Liam while forcing a pitiful smile. "I… I'm sorry! I didn't know my place. I failed to recognize a person of great stature.
Liam watched the scene unfold with growing tension. However, Eric had not finished speaking when a sharp slap landed heavily on his face.Francis's face turned deathly pale, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted angrily, "Enough is enough! If you want to die, don't drag me into it!""Mister Kongo... What's going on?"Eric, holding his reddened cheek similar to Lilly's, looked at Francis in bewilderment. He had no idea what had happened and had just been slapped!Lilly became upset. "Mister Kongo, what's the matter? If you have any grievances, just say so. Why resort to violence? We've been doing our best to help you!"Overcome with intense fear, Francis seemed almost hysterical.He pointed a trembling finger at the black card on the table and spoke sharply, "Help? Help with what? Do you know what that card is? That's a custom Centurion Black Card! It's worth more than the most expensive house in your complex, enough to buy an entire building in your development without a hitch!""Wha
"Mister Jenkins, listen to me..."Thinking Yuri had not heard her clearly, Lilly quickly followed him.However, Yuri did not even glance at her. He led a grand entourage straight to Liam.Lilly was stunned. The next moment, a smirk appeared on her face. "Let's see how arrogant you can be in front of Mister Jenkins!Lilly approached Yuri, feigning a pitiful look. "Mister Jenkins, did you see what just happened? We were hosting him properly, but he used his money to act lawlessly in Vientiane Bay!"She assumed Yuri had witnessed the incident when he entered."Because of a small disagreement, he hit us. Not only did I get slapped, but Mister Yellowstone did too!"Lilly lifted her head, speaking with righteous indignation. "Mister Yellowstone, you must stand up for us!"Eric, standing behind, echoed with resentment, "That's right, Mister Jenkins. I can testify! We need to show them that Vientiane Bay is not a place for them to behave recklessly!"Although Liam had not done anyth
With such a background, Lilly was utterly terrified. She had never imagined that the young man she despised and mocked as a poor nobody would not only pull out a black card that stunned Francis but would also turn out to be the owner of the corporation behind Vientiane Bay Real Estate.She had even ridiculed Liam for not being able to afford a house.Reflecting on everything that had just happened, Lilly felt her vision go dark. However, she was not the only one shocked. Isabela was also taken aback by the scene before her. Even though she had realized Liam was not ordinary after he helped her with the loan shark issues from the Tiger Gang, she had thought he was somewhat wealthy at most. Even when he dealt with the gang, bringing so many people, she merely assumed it indicated Liam had a broad network of connections. However, she never could have anticipated that Liam's power was that incredible!Isabela turned her head in a daze, looking around. The expensive property she
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"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
