Travis did not know what to do.Both Harold and the Hill family were panicked. They simply could not comprehend how the situation had suddenly deteriorated to such an extent.Soon enough, the nurses rushed into the room with various emergency equipment. Travis anxiously urged, "Doctor Nashman, the nurses and emergency equipment are here! You must save my dad! I beg you!"However, Harold hesitated when the nurses handed the adrenaline to him. He had no idea what to do. In his understanding, a mental spasm was fundamentally irreversible! The Hill family became even more nervous."Doctor Nashman?""Grandmaster Burrey, what's going on?"Lucy stood at the back, her face filled with anxiety as she looked at Liam. Julian's state was truly terrifying.Unlike the others, Liam remained calm.He stepped toward the hospital bed and said, "Don't worry. I already told you, using this method might have consequences you can't handle."Travis looked at Liam fiercely. "It's because of you!
A flash of annoyance crossed Harold's face. However, he seemed to reconsider something, hastily shutting his mouth and stepping aside for Liam.Harold held up his hands. "You all heard that. He asked me to step aside. If anything happens to Mister Hill Senior, it's not my responsibility!"Harold was unsure how to deal with Julian's condition, but Liam unexpectedly took the blame himself, so why not let him?"What an idiot," Harold muttered, looking at Liam as if he was a fool.Meanwhile, Lucy tensed up, her hands clenched tightly together. She did not doubt Liam's medical skills, but Julian's condition looked truly dangerous.Lucy trembled as she asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, do you need us to leave?"She still remembered Liam once saying that he did not like having people around when he was treating someone. However, Liam shook his head. He looked at Julian and calmly replied to Lucy, "No need. This time, it's not exactly treatment."Harold sneered. "Not exactly treatment? You'
However, the shock they were in had far from subsided.Even after the tremors in Julian's body had lessened, Liam did not cease his movements. He raised his fingers from Julian's forehead, his eyes narrowing slightly.Liam once again formed a sword with two fingers, pointing toward Julian's abdomen as he lightly pressed three inches below the navel.However, he seemed remarkably gentle compared to the first time. It even made one doubt whether those two fingers had actually touched Julian's abdomen.Although Liam's actions were delicate, a muffled sound rang out when he touched Julian.The entire room seemed to shake suddenly.An inexplicable shock, centered around Liam, suddenly spread outward.Lucy's eyes widened. "What's happening?!"The sudden anomaly startled Travis even more. "What's going on?!"The unexpected situation made Travis wonder if he was hallucinating.Everyone, including the members of the Hill family, glared at Liam with wide eyes.However, no one noticed
Travis trembled, staring blankly ahead. "Did my dad really recover?"The intense shock made him momentarily forget the pain from being slapped. It was not just Travis, but Harold was also filled with horror. He could not imagine someone being able to control neurological spasms in an unconscious state, let alone without using any medical equipment.Just with two fingers! It was beyond what Harold could comprehend. The huge room fell into a dead silence. All eyes were fixed on Liam in the center of the room. "I might have misjudged at the beginning. There may be some issues with his condition. Otherwise, it'd be impossible for him to recover so quickly." Harold simply could not believe that someone in their world had such an ability. His two fingers could calm the spasms of someone in an unconscious state.Harold continued explaining, "Mister Hill Senior's condition has stabilized, but after experiencing such an ordeal, it may not be easy to make him fully conscious again.
Upon witnessing the scene before them, Lucy, standing with a water pitcher on the side, was suddenly dumbfounded. It was not just Lucy. Everyone from the Hill family, including Travis, froze in place. The way it appeared, Liam was indeed the revered Grandmaster Burrey. Moreover, the attitude seemed just as respectful. Travis's heart was suddenly filled with a sense of foreboding.Lucy hurriedly offered Julian the cup of water. "Grandpa, have some water first!"Though Julian had been unconscious for several days and had just recovered from a serious illness, he could manage some simple movements after experiencing the discomfort of awakening. However, he paid no attention to Lucy whatsoever. In fact, since Julian had regained consciousness, he had not paid any attention to anyone from the Hill family.Suddenly, Julian seemed to realize something as he lay in bed. His body stiffened, and he looked up in panic at Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, is it because of me that you've broken
The room went silent.The members of the Hill family froze, their eyes wide with shock. They had never imagined hearing such words from Julian.When the Hill family first encountered Liam, they did not take him seriously. However, their attitude shifted after witnessing Liam's extraordinary medical skills through Julian's treatment.Although the Hill family was impressed by Liam's medical prowess and respected him, that was as far as it went in their minds.After all, the handsome young man was just an exceptionally skilled physician to them. They never even dreamed that Liam possessed such power.Recalling their initial disdain for Liam, the Hill family shuddered.Lucy stood in the background, her cherry-red lips slightly parted. She had always thought she respected Liam enough. However, she then realized that everything she had done was inadequate in Liam's eyes.Even with such power and background, Liam remained so modest throughout.For a moment, Lucy's mind went blank.Me
In the face of Julian's words, Liam remained calm as he replied lightly, "No need to talk about gratitude. I merely did what I had to do."Julian's expression was solemn as he reaffirmed his conviction. "Without you, Grandmaster Burrey, there would be no Hill family!"Liam shook his head, no longer insisting, but instead replied, "If you want to find the mastermind, you can start by investigating the person who poisoned you. I observed that the poison you were administered was no ordinary one.""Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey."Julian nodded, turning to Lucy. "Listen to Grandmaster Burrey's advice and investigate the poisoning. I won't show myself until the mastermind emerges. You'll continue to handle the Hill family affairs."Julian was ready to act as bait to lure out the assailant targeting the Hill family.Lucy nodded earnestly. "Understood!"After Julian regained consciousness, Lucy clearly gained more confidence. Although she managed half of the Hill family's business and
"Who gave them the audacity? Settle the score? That's letting them off too lightly!"A flash of anger crossed Julian's face as he looked at Liam in frustration. "Grandmaster Burrey, give me a week. Let me uproot that ungrateful Lloyd family from South City! If I don't wipe them out completely, I'd owe you so much for nothing!"Listening to Lucy and Julian's words, Liam was taken aback. Due to his years spent in prison and the lack of communication with the Lloyd family since his release, he truly had no idea about the situation.Back then, Julian had helped the Lloyd family a lot because of Liam. The Lloyd family's development in recent years was also closely related to him.After a moment of silence, Liam sighed. "Forget it. I might have some misunderstandings with the Lloyd family, but it's not as serious as you say."Though the Lloyd family meant nothing to him, there was still Serena."Grandmaster Burrey, why should you suffer such grievances because of a mere Lloyd family?"
"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.
Unfortunately, Agustine approached the wrong person!"I'm approving a one-month leave for you. Take a good rest."Matthias did not want to engage with Agustine any further. He lowered his head and began drafting a leave note for Agustine: "I hope after taking some time off, you'll be able to calm down!"Given Agustine's current state, he was no longer fit to continue working at the Hestia Drug Administration."Mister Kien, you..."Seeing this, urgency flashed across Agustine's face. He gritted his teeth and took out the few remaining samples of the White Glycoside Cream.Originally, Agustine planned to cover the samples with poplar leaves and conduct further testing! He was deeply curious about how this White Glycoside Cream could deliver such miraculous effects. But right now, there was no time to worry about that!"What you're holding—don't tell me it's that so-called miracle Hestian medicine?"Matthias frowned deeply. Agustine's current behavior was starting to make him ge
When Matthias was carefully reviewing the documents just now, he noticed that the 'White Glycoside Cream' Agustine mentioned was a type of traditional Hestian medicine.The more he realized this, the less he could understand it.Matthias knew Agustine well and was fully aware of how much Agustine despised traditional Hestian medicine from Hestia.In fact, it could be said that anyone working in Hestia's Drug Administration Department harbored some degree of prejudice against traditional Hestian medicine!After all, they dealt with related drugs daily and understood just how detestable many so-called traditional Hestian remedies were!This was precisely why Matthias always felt he and Agustine were like-minded, and they had a good personal relationship because of it. But Matthias never expected that this time, when Agustine returned, he would ask him to sign off on the approval for a traditional Hestian medicine!And this particular traditional medicine, which was only allowed to
"Alright." Lucy responded in a muffled voice, letting out a light sigh. "According to the flight tracker, Agustine has already arrived in Juneau. I wonder how things are going on his side now."Based on his reaction earlier, retrieving the market approval shouldn't be a problem, right?"Hearing this, Liam froze for a moment.While Liam and Lucy were filled with curiosity about what had transpired after Agustine's arrival in Juneau, Agustine was already at the Hestia Drug Administration Department.After organizing the necessary documents, he quickly grabbed them and rushed to the office of the department head.At the office door, Agustine knocked."Come in."Hearing the voice from inside, Agustine promptly pushed open the door and entered."Agustine, what brings you here?"Seeing it was Agustine who walked in, Matthias Kien, the head of the Hestia Drug Administration Department, displayed a trace of surprise.Even though his position was much higher and his age significantly
In the end, Serena left the South City Bank empty-handed.Gazing at the brilliant sunshine outside, she let out a soft sigh.At first, Serena thought the money might be impossible to recover, but she never expected that she couldn't even find a single clue related to it!She stood still for a moment, and after some hesitation, Serena pulled out her phone and dialed a number.At this point, there was only one last lead to uncover the whereabouts of the money.And that lead was Liam.Everything that had happened pointed to one thing—Liam might actually know something!Before long, the call connected."Hello..."After taking a moment to adjust her emotions, Serena began to speak. But before she could finish her sentence, Liam's voice cut her off."What is it?"His tone was no longer as courteous as it once had been.After everything that had transpired, Liam's attitude toward Serena had noticeably changed."I…" Serena froze for a moment.This version of Liam felt unfamiliar,
