After that, the Mayo Clinic of the United States made a grand news report to the entire world. A medical enterprise from Oskia had produced an extremely special medicine that could cure all kinds of end-stage cancers. After Jimmy’s treatment condition had been made public, Mayo Clinic of the United States announced something to the entire world. That drug had unprecedented therapeutic effects on end-stage cancers, and it might entirely change the history of treating cancers. Through Mayo Clinic, that piece of news tremendously shocked the experts in the field of cancers globally almost immediately. It clearly showed that the Apothecary Restoration Pill had posed a strong therapeutic effect on end-stage cancers just by looking at Jimmy’s recovery in that one night. Hence, no one would doubt that there were any fabrications in the content published by Mayo Clinic. The news was soon spread all around the news media, making the entire world delighted for it. The Apothecary Phar

After a twelve-hour flight, Smith was finally back in Washington. Coincidentally, the plane that he took did not touch down at Washington Airport. Instead, it was guided by the air traffic controllers to an army airport in the suburbs of Washington. The reason why they guided the plane to land at the army airport was because he was carrying those twenty boxes of Apothecary Restoration Pill. For the United States, that medication was not as simple as an invaluable treasure, so much so that it might very much possibly be a great weapon of international competition in peacetime. After the plane had landed, it was immediately guided by a guiding vehicle to an army hangar that was specially used to store bombers. At that time, the hangar was entirely vacant. There were nearly a hundred people there, and they had waited for a long time. There were people in charge from the military, the senior management of the Ministry of Health, the elites from various major laboratories, as well

Smith soon became nervous, and he interrogated Roger, “What do you mean?! My son is now waiting to be saved!” When Roger saw how very agitated Smith was, he immediately smiled and said, “Come, now. You don’t have to be so sensitive and nervous! What I meant is that if your son takes the medicine according to normal doses, he would only need to take one pill a day. Four boxes would be enough for a month!” As he was talking, Roger patted Smith’s shoulders and said, “And with our ability in pharmaceutical matters, we may even achieve complete imitation within a month. I’ll send a hundred boxes to your house at that time!” Smith immediately shouted in a frenzy, “No! What if you guys fail to achieve that in a month? Would I have to continue watching as my son waits for his death again?! I care about nothing else. I just want ten boxes of this batch of drugs, no more, no less!” As he was speaking, Smith said again, “Don’t assume that I’m ignorant about pharmacy. If you truly want to

Soon, everyone, including Smith, rode in the military vehicles to the top laboratory that had been prepared beforehand. That place had been taken over by the army, and it was managed by the strictest managing means. Someone went and picked up Smith’s son at Mayo Clinic, and his son was brought there directly. Other than him, four other patients who had great connections had been sent there too. The military had established a special medical team to be responsible for the treatment of those five patients. At the same time, there was an all-around shooting team. They were responsible for recording all details of those patients after they had taken the medicine. What gratified Smith was that his son had finally taken the Apothecary Restoration Pill that he had brought back. The miracle continued to happen. After his son had consumed the medicine, the various indicators of his son’s body had been improved and cured at a visible speed. As for the other four patients, their

This instantly confused all those leading experts.They even speculated whether the components of those natural plants had undergone some kind of chemical reaction in the patient’s body that was beyond their known scope and recognition.So, the teams quickly began their reverse engineering.They labeled all the raw materials that they analyzed and then bought a whole bunch of materials, shipping them to the laboratory as quickly as possible.Immediately afterward, there were then all kinds of experiments and trials.This was because they did indeed have a very strong scientific research foundation, and within twenty-four hours, one of their teams had found a formula that was near identical and had almost the exact same ratio as the Apothecary Restoration Pill!As soon as the news came out, the entire laboratory was overjoyed.Roger immediately asked the team to give the reverse-engineered drug to the patients for a trial.They were originally going to try the lethal dose of thi

As it was very simple to reverse-engineer, these researchers could reverse-engineer the Apothecary Restoration Pill within the shortest possible time.At this time, Smith rubbed his chin and spoke up, “I have also been dealing with drugs for most of my life at the FDA, and I really cannot understand this. How can this drug have such good effects if it’s all just plant ingredients?”Roger shrugged, spread out his hands, and said, “Only God knows, then. For us, we only need to know its production process as well as the actual effect. We do not need to know of its actual principle. We will not be able to understand the principle of many things in this world, just like how you simply will not be able to understand the metaphysics that the Orientals often speak of.”At this time, two minutes had already passed since the five patients had taken the medication.A lot of doctors surrounded them, and they were constantly monitoring their various physical indicators. At the same time, they k

The entire laboratory was in a state of despair because of the failure of the test.The reason for their despair was not because they could not imitate the Apothecary Restoration Pill, but it was because they had already imitated it exactly, yet the result was very different. Everyone was suddenly placed in a dead-end. If it was useless to imitate it to the point where it was exactly the same, what should be done to make it useful, then?!Roger was also completely stunned. He paced back and forth with the imitation pill as he muttered, “What should we do next...? What can we do next? Since it’s insufficient for us to come up with the exact same pill, should the next step be to try a different direction, then?”Several pharmaceutical experts were also extremely frustrated.They had never encountered such an unbelievable situation in all of their many years of practice. Smith pondered for a moment, and he suddenly remembered something. He asked Roger, “Could it be that there is

Smith said awkwardly, “I know that it sounds like a strange thing, but I really think that there’s nothing better for us to do now. The White House has already given us such a big battle, so we cannot declare failure in less than a day, right? If we did, in the eyes of the White House, how different would we be compared to a bunch of useless people, then?” Roger wanted to cry, but he had no tears, and he said, “Smith... we are all scientists, and asking scientists to do such metaphysical things is not professional at all...”Smith said, “There’s no other way. We just have to bite the bullet and do it. Otherwise, what else should we do?” At this time, a researcher with Oriental features mustered the courage to speak up, “Mr. Rogers, I suggest that it would be best for us to go to Aurous Hill for a field trip and an on-the-spot investigation. We can then bring back several environmental samples to be studied such as the air, groundwater, surface water, the rainfall there, and so on.

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by

Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man

Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6469
However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern
