"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
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,
"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
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
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
