Yates Group was the largest pharmaceutical corporation in Goldspire, so Russell chose it without hesitation. Thus, this scene unfolded."Mr. Briggs," a junior disciple called out and reported, "a large group of people has gathered outside the building. Leading them are members of the Yates family, and they seem furious.""Excellent!" Russell stood up with a smile. "Everyone, let's go take a look."Before Hanson, Caspian, and the others could step into the building, Russell and his group emerged."Hmm?" Hanson's eyes flickered with unease.As the senior of the Glevensky family, he had seen his fair share of prominent figures.Immediately, he noticed the extraordinary demeanor of Russell and his companions, guessing they had to come from a powerful background.However, Caspian was furious. "So, it's you kids who dared to acquire Yates Group! Such arrogance!"Russell responded, "You must be Caspian, the head of the Yates family. I've already placed the contract in the conference r
Silence engulfed the scene. It was the kind of deathly silence that swallowed everything.Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Hanson himself felt his mind go blank, unable to process what had just happened.Russell remained composed and refined, chuckling softly. "Mr. Glevensky, do you still think we're being arrogant now?"Finally, Hanson snapped out of his daze. His hair stood on end.Russell was incredibly strong! He was undoubtedly a top-tier expert, far beyond Hanson's ability to contend with. No wonder he was so domineering. His confidence came from terrifying strength.Although Russell appeared refined, his tone polite and even accompanied by a smile, Hanson could feel the sharp, oppressive energy emanating from him, subtle yet suffocating.At this moment, Hanson had no choice but to set everything else aside. He scrambled to his feet, clasped his hands, and said respectfully, "I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable, young friend. I'm impressed. It seems I spoke out
Lavinia couldn't help but admire Russell. He was someone so powerful yet genuinely humble. It was clear he wasn't faking it. His sincerity set him apart from countless men of his age."May I ask, Mr. Briggs, where are you from?""Well…" Russell paused briefly.Lavinia quickly added, "If it's inconvenient to say, that's perfectly fine. I apologize for being presumptuous.""It's not really a secret. I'm from Healers Valley.""Healers Valley?" She froze for a moment.A few seconds later, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Healers Valley! You mean that Healers Valley?"Russell replied, "How many Healers Valleys do you think there are in the world?"Lavinia's mind was in turmoil.On the other hand, Ruby covered her mouth in shock."That's right!" She was elated. "The Medicine Sovereign is here in Goldspire, isn't he? Mr. Briggs, you must be here with him, right?""How do you know Mr. Howell is in Goldspire?""Classified intel," Ruby said with a chuckle, her eyes twinkling. Sh
"Lav, this is truly a blessing from above! Just a few days ago, I was sad that I couldn't meet the Medicine Sovereign, and now, we're directly collaborating with Healers Valley," Ruby exclaimed, clearly in an excellent mood."As long as I build a good relationship with Russell, Lav, I might even be able to join Healers Valley. If that happens, the Mosley family will have a powerful backer.""Keep it up!" Lavinia was also delighted. Seeing Ruby thrive was a great joy for the family.Ruby said, "I need to hurry up and relocate the company. The Hackle family has been targeting me in Drammore, so I'll just give up that market for now. "Once I've solidified my relationship with Healers Valley, I'll return with a vengeance. The Hackle family? They're nothing more than ants compared to Healers Valley."…That day, the Mosley family in Drammore held a meeting. Everyone was brimming with excitement.The Mosleys actively assisted Ruby in relocating her pharmaceutical company, creating a
The Yates family's total cash reserves amounted to barely a tenth of the offer."Damn it!" Caspian was so furious that he nearly spat blood.If he had known it was that much money, why should he bother with pride? He should have just signed the contract. But now, it was too late."Sir!" The butler rushed in hurriedly. "Someone just delivered an invitation."Caspian glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, Aeternum Group is holding a grand opening ceremony, inviting the city's elites to attend. It's said they'll also be launching a new drug.""Sir, should we go?""Why not? No matter what, the Yates family is still a pharmaceutical giant in Goldspire. Even a powerful outsider must respect the local powers. There's a chance Aeternum Group might cooperate with us."Timothy added, "They're new here and pushing a new drug. It won't be easy for them to succeed. I think they'll need our family's help. We've taken root in Goldspire for years and have a massive market they can't
"What? Mr. Howell, are you saying the Rejuvenation Pill preserves youth?" Ruby struggled to contain her emotions, but she couldn't help crying out.Geoffrey chuckled. "It does have the effect of preserving youth, but since it's a new drug, I can't guarantee it will work perfectly every time. Generally speaking, it's reliable. "Preliminary tests show that one treatment can maintain its effects for five years. The younger the person, the better the results. The older they are, the less effective it becomes."After taking it, results appear within seven days, especially for younger people dealing with acne or dark spots. The improvements are striking.""That's incredible!" Ruby was ecstatic.It was easy to imagine that once the Rejuvenation Pill hit the market, it would cause a sensation and spark a frenzy.Geoffrey added, "The Rejuvenation Pill is destined to be a global sensation. However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I've decided to launch it initially in Goldspire. We'll gradu
Oasis Vale was isolated from the rest of the world. Few knew that in this peaceful valley lived a group of extraordinary people, including the overlords of the criminal underworld, business magnates with net worths that rivaled countries, and even core government officials of various countries.It was noon, and Gideon Snow walked out of the cottage with a basket in hand."Sir!"Ajax Bale, a burly, heavily bearded man, scrambled up to Gideon as he herded the goats around him. "As per your punishment, I have tended to the goats for a month. Today is the last day. What should I do next?""You can start harvesting the wheat next.""That's my job, sir! What am I supposed to do if Ajax takes over?" Donald Ingleson, Cherony's minister of defense, asked with a pitiful expression."You can be in charge of cleaning up the dung.""You got it, sir."Gideon had only taken a few more steps when someone approached him and reported, "Sir! Justin Mugler, the military commander of Magaria, and P
"I knew it! It's just as I thought. I knew you didn't die, you old bugger! You tricked me for three years!"Gideon hadn't found a body in the grave, but he had expected as much. Titus had been an enigmatic figure who possessed extraordinary abilities. Why would someone like that abruptly claim to have come to his life's end and decide to bury himself? It was unthinkable.Nevertheless, Gideon couldn't disobey Titus, his mentor, so he had to do as told and guard the grave for three years."If I don't get a treasure that's to my satisfaction, Titus, that means you wasted three years of my youth. I'll make you pay for that at some point," Gideon grumbled.Alas, even after combing through the entire grave thoroughly, he found nothing other than a letter."You old con artist," Gideon ranted before opening the envelope with a scowl on his face. He found two pages of a letter.After he read the first page, his scowl of dissatisfaction was replaced by a moved expression. According to the

"Sir, something terrible has happened!" The butler's panicked shout brought the entire crowd to a standstill.Caspian's face darkened.This was the critical moment of the apprenticeship ceremony, and someone dared to cause a scene. Outrageous!"You insolent fool! Can't you see Timothy is in the middle of the ceremony? Who allowed you to shout like this? Someone, drag him out and give him a hundred whips!""Sir, it's a major issue!"Caspian's eyebrows twitched.The butler had served him faithfully for over a decade and was usually calm and composed. For him to lose his cool like this, the matter had to be serious.Hanson was equally displeased. He said coldly, "What could be so major? What could possibly happen to the Yates family? Does anyone in Goldspire not know that I am accepting Timothy as my disciple today? Who dares create trouble at this moment?"In the audience, toward the back of the crowd, Ruby sneered. "Lav, that old man with the goatee is truly arrogant!"Lavinia
Meanwhile, Gideon and Geoffrey returned to Beaker Island, and the process of refining the Rejuvenation Pill began.Considering it was an ancient formula, refining it was exceedingly difficult. With such a limited amount of precious herbs available, extreme caution was required. Any mistake, like an explosion in the furnace, would mean losing everything.Fortunately, Geoffrey's skills were solid. With Gideon's timely guidance, they finally succeeded in refining a batch of Rejuvenation Pills after a full day and night."It's done! It's finally done!" Geoffrey was overjoyed.Succeeding once meant succeeding a second, third, or countless more times. It was easy to imagine the impact. Once this long-lasting Rejuvenation Pill was introduced to the world, it would create a storm!Who didn't want to look good? Not just women—men, too. The entire world would go crazy for it. Endless wealth would pour in."Sir, since this ancient formula for the Rejuvenation Pill came from you, I've decide
Ruby was stunned. Earlier, it had taken her a while to confirm what the Jadeblood Herb was.But now, Geoffrey had identified it as the best quality Jadeblood Herb the moment he got his hands on it. His sharp eyes were truly impressive.Geoffrey glanced at Ruby and snorted coldly. "Where did this little girl come from? She lacks manners!""Old man, who are you calling rude?" Ruby retorted arrogantly.Gideon interjected, "She's the daughter of the Mosley family in Drammore. Her sister is the only female war hero in Dasovia, Lavinia Mosley.""Is that so?"Ruby smirked smugly. "Old man, do you still think I'm rude now?"Geoffrey snorted. "The little Mosley family, with just one war hero, means nothing in my eyes!""You!" Ruby was furious.What was it with Goldspire? It seemed to be full of people pretending to be all high and mighty.First, it was Tanner. Now, Geoffrey came along spouting nonsense and acting so arrogant."Don't bother with her." Gideon then asked, "What treasure
