"What's hard about that?" Frederick chuckled."Are you kidding? The refining process is so difficult that even I can't guarantee I could make it work!" The elder brought out a pill-making furnace, and placed it on the table."Come on. I'd like to see if you're truly talented or just an ignorant fool!""A pill-making furnace? I never use one of these things when I refine pills!"Frederick glanced at the pill-making furnace disdainfully.The next moment, he slapped his palm on the table. The table didn’t move at all, but the medicinal herbs in the basket all flew up into the air!“T-This is Floral Dispersion! Throughout Drakonia, there are less than five people who know this pill-making technique!” the elder exclaimed in disbelief, stunned. “That's not all.”Frederick smiled slightly, and waved his hand around. The medicinal herbs scattered in the air before coalescing into a ball.“Sand Tower Formation! Another ancient pill-making technique!"The elder's jaw dropped.The m
The elder's facial expression stiffened. After a long time, he chuckled bitterly and shook his head."After meeting you today, I realize how far behind I am in my medicinal pursuit."In reality, the elder's level of medicinal pursuit wasn’t low at all. In fact, he was one of the best in the traditional medicine community of today.Very few people even knew that the receptionist of this small pharmacy was actually the last president of Drakonia's Traditional Medicine Association. The elder had witnessed too much nastiness in the business. Disheartened, he chose to retire."I still don't know what this pill is used for. Could you tell me?" he asked. The elder was ashamed to admit that he couldn't figure out the pill's usage, despite how Frederick had shown him the pill-making process.Frederick didn’t intend to keep any secrets. "After taking the pill, one's physical capabilities will double within two hours."The elder was stunned when he heard this.Doubling one's physical cap
Prospera Corporation held its board meeting at ten o'clock the next morning.The group directors all felt a little clueless. The group had been operating as usual during this period. Why did they suddenly have to meet with the board of directors?Everyone was talking in the conference room."Do you know why we're having this meeting today?""I have no idea! Mr. Woolworth, you have the most reliable sources. Did you find out anything?""Not at all!"Amidst the noise, Frederick and Jennifer walked into the conference room side-by-side.A man in his late twenties sat next to Jennifer. When he saw this, he frowned.The directors in the conference room shuddered when they saw Frederick. They recalled the bloody massacre that happened not long ago. Trembling, they all stood up."Mr. Lester, you're here!""Greetings, Mr. Lester!"They all smiled politely at him."Sit, sit. Please do away with the formalities."Frederick chuckled as if he was the boss here.The only man who was s
"On this basis!" Frederick declared.With that, he retrieved a box and placed it on the table. The words 'Revitalizing Pill' were written on the box. Shane was stunned for a moment—then he burst into laughter."Ms. York, I had no idea Prospera Corporation was so lacking in talent that we'd make a swindler the general manager! You cheat your way here. You're a fucking talent!" Shane guffawed. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt."Was that funny?" Frederick retorted, and he retrieved another document. This was the listing permit the elder at the pharmacy delivered to him in the morning.[Revitalizing Pill is a health supplement that boosts your body's performance by 100 percent within two hours of taking it.]It was written clearly in black and white.Shane sneered."Swindlers are becoming more and more professional these days. However, do you know what the charges are for forging a fake listing permit? I could make you go to prison for up to five years with that!" he exc
For a while, the group directors seemed tempted.If what was written on the listing permit was true, Revitalizing Pill would undoubtedly become Prospera Corporation's trump card.Even if it couldn’t rake in profits of up to five billion dollars in a short period of time, the indirect benefits it provided Prospera Corporation would already surpass monetary value.After all, every influential person in the world would definitely want their bodily functions to improve by a hundred percent within two hours. It was a dream come true."Mr. Lester, how can you prove its efficacy?" one of the group directors asked."You'll find out once you try it yourself," Frederick said calmly.Everyone looked at each other, but none of them dared to try it. After all, the pill came from an unknown source. Nobody knew if it could be harmful to the body.A middle-aged man with plump cheeks snorted, and asked loudly, "Who the hell would dare to try it? What if we die?" He was Prospera Corporation's f
"Idiots! You're actually counting on a swindler!" Shane was shaking with anger when he saw how Donavan, who had always licked his boots, begged Frederick for help.However, Donavan couldn't care less about Shane's feelings right now. He repeatedly called his housekeeper and private doctor, urging them to send his father Leon Campbell to Prospera Corporation.Soon, a few bodyguards carried a stretcher into the conference room.Leon was on the stretcher. At this moment, his face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly. He could no longer say anything. Even his eyes were closed.“Mr. Campbell, we have done all we could,” the doctor said softly, head hung low.Donavan clenched his fists. He seemed aggrieved. Even if he knew little about medicine, he could tell there was no hope in saving Leon. The only thing he wished for was to fulfill Leon's dying wish.“Mr. Lester, please!” Donavan pleaded with Frederick.The chartered plane was ready to take off anytime. All they needed now w
"Adrenaline can't prolong his life for two hours," Frederick sneered. He looked at Shane as if he was looking at an idiot."Don't get cocky just yet. This old man might just die in a second!" Shane shouted.Donavan's expression turned horrid when he heard this. If it wasn’t for Shane's background, he would have torn Shane to pieces by now."Donavan, let's go!"The directors who were friends with Donavan came forward. They feared he would clash with Shane. Prospera Corporation dwarfed in comparison to Shane's background, let alone them.Donavan took a deep breath. He held back his anger, and nodded.Soon, Leon was put on a chartered plane to the Imperial Capital.All the directors of Prospera Corporation came along.They all wanted to witness this miracle.An hour and thirty minutes passed before they arrived at the Imperial Capital. It took another twenty minutes to get to the house where Donavan grew up.A total of one hour and fifty minutes had gone by. Leon's eyes were sti
"Mr. Lester, don't get my hopes up for nothing." Donavan frowned a little. However, he tried to smile since Frederick fulfilled his father's dying wish."You have twenty seconds." Frederick glanced at the stopwatch."Mr. Lester…"Donavan was about to speak when Frederick cut him off."Fifteen seconds.""Well, if you can save my father, I'll give you anything as long as it's within my power!" Donavan said through clenched jaws.Although Frederick's words sounded like nothing more than a myth, what if it was true?Frederick made a move as soon as Donavan finished his sentence. He couldn’t waste a single second.With a wave of his hand, multiple silver needles flew out from his sleeves and landed on Leon's acupoints.Frederick wasn’t wrong. Although Leon was no longer moving, there was still a chance to save him.Frederick used his silver needles to lock on to this chance. After that, he rushed over to Leon and repeatedly smacked the latter’s body."This is ridiculous! Do you t
