Harry hadn't wanted to tell Isaac about the incident, especially since he knew that Isaac was also facing a difficult time in Rippan. He didn't want Isaac to worry about him. The second reason was that he was still uncertain whether Rover City Pharmaceuticals had anything to do with the Everest Sect.Still, he didn't think that Isaac would be back so soon. He was extremely grateful to Isaac for that. Then, feeling Isaac's eyes on him, Harry decided to hold nothing back and tell him everything that had transpired so far.After Harry filled him in, Isaac frowned and said, "Focus on recovering first. Once you're fully recovered, take me to Rover City with you. We can't delay the Awakening Pills production any longer."Isaac caught sight of colorful lights and decorations hanging from the trees and street lamps while on his way back to Cloud Nine Villas. There were also tons of sale posters and advertisements plastered on the storefronts for Christmas. It was almost the most magical tim

Rover City Pharmaceuticals wasn't exactly the largest pharmaceutical company in Cynea, but it ranked amongst the top ten businesses and enterprises in Cloveland, its own province. The wild stagherb and floradils needed for the Awakening Pills were only available in this area, and even then, were extremely rare. The people at the pharmaceutical company realized that someone from Cloud City was buying up a lot of their stock, so they quickly bought up all the stock from the rest of Cynea and kept them in their own warehouse to sell them at high prices.Harry had first asked one of his men to try talking to this company, but he'd been driven out of the premises. After returning from Jolkyo, Harry had then personally come to try discussing things, but after meeting with Mr. Vaughn from that company, he got his legs broken in half.To be honest, Harry was still upset about it, but he was also worried that Isaac would lose his temper and end up burning bridges with the company instead. H

Isaac and Harry headed downstairs and saw that the barbecue restaurant about 300 feet away was brimming with hundreds of people. Many of them were holding up signs and placards with the name "Serena" written on them while screaming her name in delight."Let's go have a look," Isaac said, hurrying over with Harry at once.The barbecue restaurant was popular and well-known among the locals for having good food. It had been around for 20 years, and it was still doing extremely well even today.Serena was in her light pink winter jacket, a beanie, and sunglasses as she tried to make her way out of the crowd with her assistant's help. She was actually filming a movie nearby and would be shooting her final scene tomorrow. After hearing from her friends about this famous barbecue shop, she gave in to curiosity and decided to sneak out with her assistant to have a taste.However, she hadn't even been able to take a single bite when a fan suddenly recognized her and screamed out her name in

Isaac gazed at Amara. The two of them looked into each other's eyes, and it suddenly felt like the air in the room had thickened."What, do you think there's something wrong with this suggestion, Mr. Garten? Or do you want me to make the Christmas movie that I invested several hundred million in to die before it takes off and completely ruin Serena's innocent image?" Upon hearing this, Serena was so stressed that she was about to burst into tears. She shook her head at Isaac, signaling for him not to get mad.From the side, Harry was already so pissed his hands were tightly balled into fists. This woman was indeed ruthless.Isaac laughed lightly. "Amara, if you don't believe me, you can go home and drink some coffee to calm your anger. If you can no longer find photos of Serena and me hugging on the internet before midnight tonight, I'll return to Southland on a 1 am flight.""Haha, take a 1 am flight back to Southland? Does your family own an airline? Mr. Garten—""Amara, can y

The ballroom on the eleventh floor of Donder Hotel was sparkling with lights and filled with jazz music playing from the jukebox.Right now, almost 80 of the guests were already there, along with reporters from various media companies. The official event had yet to start, so everyone was just mingling with people they knew, helping themselves to the buffet and alcohol.After Isaac and Harry went in, they found a quiet corner to sit down.Harry was famished. He dashed to the food tables to find something to eat. Meanwhile, Isaac observed the large posters plastered everywhere, and his eyes landed on a photo of Serena dressed in vintage clothing on the gigantic screen at the very front of the ballroom.The movie was called "Killing Lola"—it was directed by a famous director, and several top dogs were part of the cast. It looked like they'd done a great job at marketing it because when Isaac came earlier, he saw many paparazzi and fans waiting outside. They couldn't enter since they d
