“Dr. Bruce! It's so good to see you!”Xavier's cheeks were flushed from the excitement. Right now, Larry was like an angel to him.“Please calm down. Being too excited isn't good for your current physical condition," Larry said sternly.When Jennifer met Xavier a few days ago, he was still bedridden and struggled to move. After deciding to send him to Meyo Clinic for treatment, doctors gave him a high dose of medication so he could move."Yes, I'll do as you say! Dr. Bruce, if it weren't for you, I'd have given up hope for a cure by now. If anyone can cure advanced lung cancer, it has to be you."Although Xavier was trying his best to stay calm, he still felt a little excited."Actually, you don't have to feel that way at all. There's someone in Drakonia who has much better medical skills than I do. I have him to thank for all my achievements," Larry said, shaking his head.Xavier was stunned to hear that. Was there someone this capable in Drakonia? Why had he not heard about th
“What do you mean?”Xavier looked at Larry in disbelief."I meant that your cancer was most likely caused by poisoning. However, as far as I know, there is no such drug in the world that can directly cause lung cancer."Larry frowned intensely.His perceptions were in great contradiction to the data he now collected.The data from the examination showed that Xavier's lung cancer cells had evolved into advanced stages in less than a month since their inception. On top of that, these cancerous cells seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Before these cells were produced, Xavier's lungs seemed completely normal.“No, I know such a drug exists.”This was when Frederick spoke up.At once, everyone in the room looked at him.“This drug, known as Lung Cancer Pill, has existed in Drakonia for thousands of years. It has only disappeared for hundreds of years because the materials needed to refine it are too rare, and the process of making it is too complicated," he said calmly.Zacha
Who on earth would want to harm him?At this point, Xavier looked at everyone suspiciously."You must have poisoned my father! You said the Lung Cancer Pill has disappeared for hundreds of eyars. Perhaps, you are the only person in the world who knows how to refine it. Apart from you, who else could have poisoned my father in this way?"Zacharias feigned anger as he pointed at Frederick."If I did it, why would I still be here and show you the pill?" Frederick snickered in disdain."Now isn’t the time to argue. Since we have found the source of the cancer cells, the most important thing right now is to analyze the pill's toxicity. Perhaps, we might be able to develop an antidote," Larry said.Upon hearing this, Xavier could not be bothered to think about who had poisoned him. "Dr. Bruce, you have to save me! Develop an antidote as soon as possible!"He looked pleadingly at Larry."Mr. York, I won't lie to you. The possibility is very slim. Even if we find the source of the to
"You're fired," a tall, striking woman announced. She wore a black pencil skirt, and her demeanor was cool and distant.Frederick Lester swallowed harshly as he looked at the woman's beautiful figure and tried not to let his eyes wander.The woman was Jennifer York, the recently appointed Vice President of the corporation. At twenty-seven, she was a highly educated returnee with a Ph.D. and dual degrees. She was also rumored to earn an incredibly high annual salary of as high as one billion!Today was her first day, and it had been full of tough interviews and layoffs.Someone from HR came up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Frederick, it's your turn." Frederick nervously entered her office. "Ms. York, you wanted to see me?"But as he entered, he saw Jennifer on the floor. She was obviously in distress, and her breathing was heavy!Frederick's concern spiked, and his heart raced.He had to do something!Despite her situation, her beauty was undeniable. He couldn't help bu
Marissa grabbed her bag and stood up. She sneered and said, "I'm a graduate of a prestigious university and a senior employee at a Fortune 500 company! I earn twenty thousand a month, own two cars, and a house!"You make less than four thousand, and you're a nobody. How dare you think of dating me?!"I assumed you were some charming, wealthy heir. But a twenty-five-year-old with neither a car nor a house? What a disappointment! How can you be so shameless to even show up here?!"Marissa pointed a finger accusingly at Frederick, her words cutting like a knife.Frederick's face turned icy in an instant. If this were Belleria, a woman like her would never get away with such behavior!When the situation escalated, Sylvia quickly stepped in and said, "Marissa, even though Fred doesn't have a car or house right now, he's down-to-earth and full of potential...""Back off! Don't touch me, you old hag!" Marissa yelled and rudely shoved Sylvia aside."Don't touch my mom!" Frederick said
"Huh?!"Frederick stood there, completely baffled."What's with that look? Don't tell me you've forgotten me already?! We just met today!"Jennifer's frustration was obvious when she saw Frederick frozen in place. She grabbed his arm and ushered him into the Bentley before driving off quickly.The onlookers were abuzz with whispers and speculation!This stunning woman had come for Frederick!Marissa's mouth fell open in disbelief. Why had such a gorgeous woman come for a nobody like Frederick?!Lucy looked as though she had seen a ghost."Sylvia, your son... has already gotten himself a wealthy partner?! Why did you even set up this blind date, then? Were you toying with us?!"Sylvia was equally puzzled.When did her son know someone so prominent?-The Bentley eventually stopped in a quiet spot. Jennifer's dress had a plunging neckline and was eye-catching.Frederick sat in the passenger seat and tried not to stare as he asked hesitantly, "Ms. York, why did you come for
The man they were here for was the Dark Monarch of the Northern Frontier, a pillar of the nation, and one of the pinnacle figures of power in Drakonia!By establishing a relationship with the Dark Monarch, they could soar to great heights with limitless prospects!"It seems that you both have also heard the news. The Dark Monarch has been frequenting this restaurant that's popular for matchmaking lately," Matthew said with a smirk. "Looks like I'll have to keep a close watch from now on. Can't let you guys get ahead of me!"All three knew deep down the terrifying power of the Dark Monarch! He was someone even the kings of the West would bow down to!Even if they couldn't flatter him, they had to maintain good relations. Otherwise, if the Dark Monarch became enraged, countless would perish, and rivers of blood would flow!If he wished it, the Dark Monarch could obliterate the three powerhouses in an instant!"I've heard that Lord Hades has now settled in Mirage City. I'll find him
"Um..." Frederick was dumbfounded and somewhat embarrassed."Hurry up! Didn't you hear me? Otherwise, I'll fire you immediately!" Jennifer hissed in a low voice.She deliberately approached Frederick, her curvy figure and fair skin flashing in a tempting manner before him.Frederick gritted his teeth and reached out, boldly squeezing a sensitive part of her body tightly!Jennifer's expression changed instantly. She trembled slightly and gave him a cold glare. Yes, she had commanded him to touch her... But how dare he touch her so audaciously, especially in the most sensitive place! Struggling not to cry out, she maintained a composed facade and said, "See? We genuinely love each other. Dad, Uncle, just give up!""Nonsense! Jennifer! I don't care about your relationship with this lowly man. You must marry the Tiger Faction's heir!" Zeke erupted in anger, striding forward to slap Jennifer across the face.Jennifer staggered back three steps, her cheek reddening instantly."T
