"You…"Sensing Liam's teasing tone, a flash of anger briefly crossed Agustine's face.But at that moment—A gentle breeze drifted in through the window, brushing over Agustine's hand.The poplar leaf covering his hand was softly blown to the ground.The white solid that had formed over his palm, previously firm, instantly disintegrated like fine sand, revealing the skin beneath.Just moments ago, his palm bore a bleeding wound. But now, it was smooth and unblemished!Even the wound itself—if not closely examined—was almost undetectable!"I…"Agustine's eyes widened in disbelief as he stood frozen on the spot."This… What… what just happened?"He lowered his head, staring intently at his palm, utterly shocked!Although the wound on his palm wasn't severe and would have naturally healed over time, it was absolutely impossible for it to recover so seamlessly!No exaggeration—Without a careful look, there wasn't even the faintest trace of injury!"Impossible! This is complet
The wound on Agustine's palm was minor, and none of them had clearly seen what had just happened.Yet the scene before them now was vividly displayed for all to witness!It was no exaggeration to say that the effect of the White Glycoside Cream surpassed their understanding of medicine!"Medicine requires a guide."At that moment, Liam's voice sounded again. He looked at the stunned crowd and asked in confusion, "I recall clearly marking all the important notes in the prescription. Didn't you see them?"However, the large office remained silent.No one answered Liam's question because everyone was completely immersed in their shock!Even Lucy, whose stunning face usually exuded confidence, now bore an expression of disbelief.Although she trusted Liam immensely, the events that had just unfolded left her feeling uncertain.Furthermore, even though Lucy was aware that the White Glycoside Cream had extraordinary medicinal properties, she could never have imagined that its effect
When Agustine was very young, his mother fell gravely ill and was on the brink of death.However, instead of receiving proper medical treatment at a hospital, she chose to trust a con artist who claimed to be an expert in ancient Hestian medicine. The scammer persuaded her to spend a large sum of money on so-called miraculous remedies and to recuperate quietly at home.The result was devastating. Her condition worsened rapidly, and she passed away.From that day forward, Agustine developed a deep-seated prejudice and hatred toward ancient Hestian medicine. His professional experience only reinforced this view—he believed every practitioner of ancient Hestian medicine was a fraud.This time, Agustine came to the provincial capital specifically to target the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. In his eyes, their success with Bellflower was nothing but a stroke of luck. Worse, he believed its popularity had unleashed a flood of unregulated traditional remedies, creating chaos in the m
"I…" Hearing this, Agustine trembled slightly and lowered his head in shame.Before he could continue speaking, Liam's voice rang out again."And about that re-examination you mentioned, arrange it as soon as possible."He added, "Once the results are out, the White Glycoside Cream needs to hit the market quickly.""Re-examination?" Agustine glanced at his own arm and let out a self-mocking smile. "There's no need for a re-examination at all!"After everything that had happened, what was the point of a re-examination?"If it's not needed, then issue the report quickly. Don't let this delay the launch of the White Glycoside Cream."Hearing this, Liam cast a glance at Agustine."No problem!" Agustine trembled and nodded hurriedly.But the next moment—As if suddenly remembering something, he quickly raised his head."However, based on the ointment's effects, Qyn Province doesn't have the authority to grant it a market approval code!"Agustine spoke hastily, "If you want it on
During the conversation, Agustine appeared extremely uneasy.He was well aware that his earlier actions had probably left a less-than-stellar impression on Liam and Lucy.However, Agustine genuinely wanted to make amends for everything he had done earlier!Moreover, just thinking about how his actions might have jeopardized the launch of the White Glycoside Cream—a medicine capable of benefiting the entire country—filled him with immense guilt."Can you quickly secure the approval for its launch?"Upon hearing Agustine's words, Liam raised his head."Yes! I'm likely the person in the Drug Administration who understands White Glycoside Cream the best right now," Agustine glanced at his arm, a flicker of complexity in his eyes. "I've seen the effects firsthand and can write a detailed evaluation report. I can get the approval quickly..."However, there was no response after he finished speaking.Seeing this, Agustine forced a bitter smile."If you still distrust me carrying the
"Let's wait for the approval number for the drug release to come back tomorrow."Immediately after, Liam turned his head to look at Lucy and said, "Once it's back, you can start arranging the launch and production of the White Glycoside Cream. We need to speed up the progress.""I understand!"Hearing this, Lucy quickly nodded. Then, she turned to Agustine and said, "To save time, I'll arrange a private jet. You can head back to Juneau shortly to handle the approval process.""Thank you!"Agustine nodded firmly. He carefully secured the prescription for the White Glycoside Cream on his person, holding the remaining sample in one hand and a poplar leaf in the other."I'll head to the airport now!"With that, Agustine turned and prepared to leave the pharmaceutical testing center. Time was of the essence for him; he couldn't afford to waste a single moment!Just as Agustine was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something."Until now, I still don't know how to proper
Meanwhile, Liam and Lucy were already on their way back to the Hill family residence."Grandmaster Burrey, I sincerely apologize. I didn't expect so many variables to arise," Lucy said apologetically as she looked at Liam. "I also didn't anticipate that the Pharmaceutical Testing Center would overlook the fact that the White Glycoside Cream requires a medicinal guide, ultimately deeming the medication ineffective…""It's no big deal," Liam shook his head, unfazed. "You've got enough on your plate as it is. Besides, I rushed the launch of White Glycoside Cream this time. A few minor hiccups are no problem.""However, once Agustine returns with the approval for the product's launch, there mustn't be any further issues," he added, turning to glance at Lucy."Grandmaster Burrey, I understand. Don't worry," Lucy nodded firmly."Oh, by the way, Grandmaster Burrey, since you're here in the provincial capital, let me brief you on the recent developments of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foun
"I've already checked the bank's transaction records, but there's nothing useful," said Serena, shaking her head. She then asked, "Do you have any leads on Fahad from your bank? Do you know where he might have gone?"She had already investigated the transaction records thoroughly but had found no breakthroughs. To recover the defrauded funds, the key still lay in tracking down Fahad."Fahad Nagel?" Hearing the name, Jim let out a bitter smile. "It's quite a coincidence. Before we even discovered his fraudulent activities, we had already fired him.""You fired him before the fraud came to light?"Serena was momentarily stunned, her expression tinged with surprise. She had not expected that Fahad's dismissal was not related to his fraudulent actions but had happened beforehand!"That's right. When we fired him, the security at South City Bank even broke his leg!"As he mentioned this, a flash of indignation appeared on Jim's face. While speaking, he glanced at Serena subtly. "It wa
Is all of this real or fake?"Commander Warren."Bluebird looked at Gabriel, his voice cold and calm, and nodded slightly.Compared to before, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel had noticeably changed.If, in the past, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel was like that of a subordinate to a superior in the military, then now, although she still showed respect, that sense of duty-bound obedience was gone.Because Bluebird knew very well who she was serving now!"You're really not dead..."Hearing Bluebird's admission, a flash of utter shock crossed Gabriel's eyes.In the next moment."Grand... Grandmaster Burrey..."His eyes trembled as he looked at Liam, his voice so dry due to the shock that it came out strained.Gabriel was well aware of how severe Bluebird's injuries were at that time.It could be said that everyone present had basically declared Bluebird's death.When they returned to the temporary base of the Nine Nether Squad, it was merely to fulfill Bluebird's last
At the same time…Liam was completely unaware of everything happening in South City.He also had no idea that, due to some misunderstandings, Willow was already furious and seeking help to rescue him from the Central Military Region.At this moment, he had already arrived at the Southern Military Region and met with Gabriel, who was overwhelmed with work."Grandmaster Burrey, please don't blame me for not coming to greet you…"Noticing Liam's arrival, Gabriel forced a bitter smile. After glancing at the documents in his hand, he said helplessly, "I received an unexpected notice, and I really couldn't get away…"It was clear that Gabriel genuinely felt guilty about not being able to greet Grandmaster Burrey in person.Even now, having already met Liam, he was still busy explaining himself."No need."Liam shook his head calmly.He did not care about any of this.What Liam was concerned about was the matter regarding Bluebird that Gabriel mentioned over the phone."Go ahead.
"So, Miss Lloyd, you mean to ask me to get someone out of the military for you?"Hearing Serena's words, Kenton was stunned for a moment."Mister Welford, what's wrong?"Serena's voice suddenly became flustered. "Is it a bit difficult?""From what you're saying, the unit that took the person should belong to the Central Military Region, which is different from our Western Military Region."Kenton hesitated. "Crossing war zones is indeed a bit troublesome…""Mister Welford, you must help me!"Upon hearing this, Serena grew even more anxious. "We can pay, as long as you can rescue him…"However, before she could finish, Kenton's voice interrupted."But how could I refuse a beauty's request!" Kenton chuckled heartily. "Don't worry, even if it's difficult, I can handle it. Coincidentally, I'm in South City lately. Even the commander of the Central Military Region has to give me some face!""Just give me the details about your friend and wait for my news."His voice was full of co
"Then give it a try."Sam chuckled and agreed, "I just didn't expect that one day, our Lloyd Group would choose to save that worthless Liam!""Alright."Hearing the voices around her, Hailey also nodded in agreement.However, soon, she seemed to recall something, turned to look at Serena, and asked, "But do we really have the ability to get someone out of the military's hands?""Yes."Hearing this, Serena gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination."If you might have a way, then go ahead and try."Seeing this, Hailey said no more and waved her hand."I just hope we don't go through all this trouble, only for that ungrateful Liam to turn his back on us!""Mom, don't worry, that won't happen!"Serena shook her head.Immediately, she turned around and quickly left the Lloyd family mansion.Not long after, Serena returned to her office at Lloyd Group.She hurriedly made her way to her desk and started searching through a pile of documents.When she finally spott
"I…" Seeing this scene, Serena's body froze abruptly, trembling slightly out of anxiety.She desperately wanted to understand the situation immediately and help Liam.However, the situation in front of her made it clear that rushing off alone to save Liam was definitely not an option!"Phew…"Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.Was there any way to convince the members of the Lloyd family to help Liam?The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something."Mom, it's not that I care about Liam, but if we want to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation on the White Glycoside Cream project, Liam cannot be in trouble!"Serena raised her head and looked at Hailey."What does our Lloyd Group's collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation have to do with that useless Liam?"Hailey frowned deeply."Mom! Think about Liam's relationship with Lucy, and you'll understand!"Serena hurriedly replied, "When you were discu
"We really don't know."Sam shook his head, but soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "But that useless Liam struts around deceiving people all day long. Maybe that's why he got into trouble with the military!""That's actually possible!" Hailey's face flashed with realization and mockery. "Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves!""Exactly!""The military isn't like us—they won't tolerate that useless Liam."Charice, standing in the back, let out a cold laugh. "Just seeing him boast and spew nonsense all day, it was obvious he'd end up like this sooner or later!""Hahaha!""Right, he's just getting what he asked for!""Serves him right for showing off in front of us all the time—he's practically asking for it!"…Inside the Lloyd family mansion, a series of schadenfreude-laden laughs echoed. Everyone from the Lloyd family started mocking Liam one after another.Among them, Etchen's voice was the most grating!However, just as the Lloyd family members were
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
However, Charice and Sam had barely stepped into the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building for five minutes before they were sent out in disgrace. Just like the previous attempts, they failed once again. This time, they didn't even get past the lobby—before, at least, they could meet with someone in charge. "What's going on? Before, we could at least talk to the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's representatives, but this time, we didn't even get to see anyone!" Sam's face was filled with frustration. "If we can't get in, it means the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation really doesn't want to work with us…" Charice sighed. "But if they don't want to cooperate with the Lloyd Corporation, shouldn't they at least give us a reason?" Before Charice could finish speaking, Sam cut in, his voice laced with anger. "We used to have such a good working relationship with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, but now we don't even know about the launch of the White Gly
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
