Frederick paid no attention to the people around him as he dialed a number. "Hey, Derek, are you there?"Derek was currently hosting a high-level meeting attended by famous CEOs. As soon as he saw Frederick's call, he excused himself and rushed out to answer. "Mr. Lester, I'm here! How can I assist you?"He groveled like a pet dog, completely subservient. The executives in the meeting room were all dumbfounded. Who was that on the call? Why was Derek acting so respectfully? Even the governor of Aston State couldn't make Derek bend over backward like this!"Is Mythical Media your company?" Frederick calmly inquired."Mythical Media?" Derek paused as he listened to Frederick's words, then barged into the meeting room and raised his voice. "Hey, who's the CEO of Mythical Media? Stand up!"Instantly, everyone was petrified.A man with a Mediterranean hairstyle stood up nervously. "What's wrong, Mr. Sullivan?""Does your company have an artist named Isaac under contract?" Derek a
The moment Isaac heard that, he seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning. His face turned ashen, and he exclaimed, "Why?! What did I do? This isn't fair! I need to talk to my agent and the department head! They won't abandon me!""Don't you know what you did?" his boss roared. "Your actions have cost the company over ten million dollars, and more than a hundred employees lost their jobs because of you! Everyone who supported you is already out of the picture!"Isaac's boss continued angrily, "Every entertainment company in Mirage City and even Aston State have been notified to blacklist you! You'll never step foot in the entertainment industry ever again!"Hearing this, Isaac collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon, his face drained of color. In an instant, he went from a superstar to a pariah.The shock was overwhelming.Isaac suddenly looked up, and saw Frederick's mocking expression. Realization hit him like a ton of bricks, and he shouted, "It was you! You d
"It's all your fault! You worthless piece of shit! I won't let you get away with this!" Isaac's eyes were bloodshot as he snarled, "My career might be over, but I still have plenty of money. I can live it up outside the industry! You better watch your back at night. I guarantee you'll end up dead in the streets!"With that, he stormed off, but Frederick's cold voice stopped him in his tracks."Did I say you could leave?"Isaac turned back, furious. "What? You think you can fight me? Just because you got me blacklisted from the entertainment industry doesn't mean you control Mirage City! I know plenty of big shots in the underworld. Touch me, and you'll regret it, you punk!"Frederick smirked. "Do those big shots have as much power as the man behind you?"Isaac froze, and instinctively glanced behind him. He gasped in terror as he saw Gavin standing at the door with seven or eight muscular, shirtless men. Their cold stares sent shivers down his spine.Why was the Underground Kin
"Our PR department has already sent people to deal with it, but those protesters won't listen to reason! They just want to cause trouble!" Jasmine was pacing in frustration. "The situation is spiraling out of control! There are videos online, and an army of trolls spreading malicious rumors. This is clearly planned!"She fumed, "If Jen were here, she might be able to handle this mess. But she's drunk, and there's no one else in the company who can manage it!""I'm on my way. Stay calm and don't lose your head," Frederick replied steadily.From what Jennifer had mentioned before, Campbell Pharmaceutical had been eyeing their company's formulas for a long time. This could very well be a calculated move by them.Frederick called a driver to take Jennifer back to her villa, then headed to the company alone. By the time he arrived at the gates of Prospera Corporation, it was already crowded with people.A group of protesters was carrying a stretcher with an unconscious woman, whose
When the family members of the unconscious woman heard the name Campbell Pharmaceutical, they were instantly overjoyed and dropped to their knees."Thank goodness! Our daughter can be saved! Please, sir, give us the miracle cure!"The man helped them up, his face full of pride. "Don't worry! I'm Yuvan Warren, a representative of Campbell Pharmaceutical. As compassionate healers, we won't let any patient die without trying to save them. We treat everyone equally, even if they're not our patients!"His words moved many in the crowd, who gave him a thumbs-up."Campbell Pharmaceutical is truly a company with a conscience! Offering free treatment to someone else's patient! You won't find another company like this in Mirage City!""Compared to the irresponsible Prospera Corporation, it's a world of difference!"Jasmine grew increasingly anxious. "How did Campbell Pharmaceutical show up out of nowhere? Are they taking advantage of the situation?"Frederick, however, remained unruffle
Frederick stood with his hands behind his back, strolling out as if he were in his own garden. His tone was casual as he continued, "And you, mindless onlookers, can't you use a bit of common sense while watching the show? You're embarrassing yourselves!"Jasmine was stunned. "Frederick, are you saying they're all acting? That this is fake?"The crowd immediately became restless."What do you mean by that? Are you insulting us? We saw the Golden Tonic work with our own eyes!"Yuvan's expression darkened, and he retorted, "Oh, so you're an employee of Prospera Corporation, huh? Seeing that you can't compete with us in the medical field, you're now resorting to slandering our products?"The crowd chimed in, "Exactly! This company isn't just shameless, it's despicable!""They can't beat Campbell Pharmaceutical through legitimate means, so now, they're resorting to dirty tricks and fabrications. Don't believe a word this guy says!"Jasmine quickly stepped forward, her heart pounding
Jasmine was speechless. Was that really possible?Yuvan laughed heartily. "What are you talking about? Turning a dead end into a way out? Young man, you're just daydreaming! Unfortunately, you've picked the wrong place to fight! Prospera Corporation has lost this round completely! Who knows if your company will still remain in Mirage City after today?"Ignoring Yuvan's mockery, Frederick walked straight to the female patient and said, "I know you've been paid a lot by Campbell Pharmaceutical. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't betray them. But there's something money can't buy, and that's life!"Yuvan sneered, "Here we go again! Spouting nonsense to deceive people! Do you think we're all idiots? That you can manipulate us so easily?"Frederick looked straight at the female patient, and said, "Try pressing the acupuncture point on your head."The woman was stunned, but then she sneered, "Who are you to tell me what to do?"Frederick replied coolly, "It's up to you. But r
Yuvan's face turned as red as a tomato."I don't understand what they're saying! Just because a few people say something, they think they can blame our company for everything? They must be dreaming! We're Campbell Pharmaceutical, and we're part of the Great Four Warrior Clans! We're not some insignificant company that anyone can accuse!"I'll make sure you understand this crystal clear!"Frederick walked over calmly, holding a bottle of Prospera Corporation's Youthful Capsule."I've carefully examined Prospera Corporation's Youthful Capsule," he said. "It mainly replenishes collagen, whitens skin, and provides skincare benefits, with side effects almost 50% less than other skincare products on the market. The damage to internal organs is nearly negligible.""As for your Golden Tonic… Superficially, it seems to have good effects on common illnesses like colds, inflammation, and stomach issues. But this medication, with its complex ingredients, actually overworks the body's natural
