The Seventh Elder chuckled. "Exactly. Working with Healers Valley is a blessing for you. It's the only way your company will ever grow."Xayne, you'd better think this through. Healers Valley dominates the pharmaceutical industry in Drakonia. We control, if not 80%, at least 60% of the market and all its key players."In Drakonia's medical field, our word is law. If you refuse this partnership, with just one order from me, Healers Valley will blacklist Serena Group. You won't be able to get a single ounce of medicinal supplies within the country."His words dripped with menace, and the threat was clear.Xayne frowned, his expression darkening.Beside him, Serena, who had been listening quietly, couldn't contain her anger any longer. She snapped, "Old man, I know you're here on behalf of Healers Valley to discuss cooperation, but I don't see any sincerity in your cooperation. Do you think you can bully us just because you represent Healers Valley? Even if my husband agreed, I would

"Action? What kind of action?"The leader of Dispenza Circle was baffled. Healers Valley controlled most of the medicinal supply chains in Drakonia. Without cooperating with them, there was no way anyone could secure resources. He couldn't see any other way forward, but he didn't dare to question Xayne.Xayne calmly placed the phone back on the table, completely unfazed.Three hours after Healers Valley's blacklist was issued, another bombshell rocked Folksworth and the pharmaceutical industry in Drakonia.One of the world's top three pharmaceutical giants, United Med, announced that it would be selecting a new business partner in Folksworth, Drakonia.United Med dominated over 60% of Newcroa and Western markets, with a trillion-dollar empire in its grasp. It was a behemoth, an uncontested titan in the field of medicine.Even the top ten pharmaceutical companies in Drakonia had ties to United Med. The nation's pharmaceutical export industry was largely influenced by them.As

Not long after, Lionel and a group of pharmaceutical company CEOs stormed to Regal Summit."Xayne, Serena, why don't you get up and give your seats to the Seventh Elder? Your company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Do you think you deserve to sit in such a prime spot?" Lionel shouted angrily, pointing a finger right at Xayne and Serena."Exactly. You better start groveling now. Once United Med signs their contract with Healers Valley, your company will be finished," several CEOs chimed in, backing Lionel.Serena, however, remained unfazed. She lifted her gaze slightly, her expression cold and relentless. "Why should I give up a seat that I rightfully reserved?" she retorted defiantly."You wretched woman. How dare you talk back to me. I'll teach you a lesson." Lionel growled through gritted teeth as he stormed forward. He raised his hand, intending to slap Serena hard across the face.A crisp, echoing sound reverberated through the hall. Lionel staggered to the side, nearly tumblin

Xayne's words were clear. By tomorrow morning, if the Seventh Elder didn't kneel and apologize at Serena Group headquarters, the consequences would be severe."Xayne, do you think you're still the King of the North? How dare you demand the Seventh Elder to kneel and apologize in front of Serena Group's office? What a joke. Let me tell you, in two days, Serena…" Lionel, in his anger, almost blurted out Healers Valley's secret meeting decisions.The Seventh Elder shot him a glare, and Lionel quickly realized his mistake. He swallowed his words, sitting back down with a nervous gulp.Xayne continued calmly, "If you're not there tomorrow morning, then you'll have to gather all the media in Folksworth and apologize in front of them instead. Foolishness in old age harms Healers Valley."With that, Xayne, carrying Coco in one arm and holding Serena's hand with the other, strode out of Skyvilla Pavilion."Xayne!" The Seventh Elder was so furious he nearly overturned the table. It took him

"Cannot sign?"Layce and his foreign secretary were taken aback. The conditions they offered Serena Group were not just generous, they were nothing short of astonishing. If other pharmaceutical companies saw this contract, they would surely be envious. Yet, Serena had refused. They didn't know how to explain after they went back."Ms. Serena, is there something wrong with the agreement we provided? If you have any requirements, feel free to mention them," Layce said, putting on a smiling face and trying to appease her.Xayne was also puzzled, looking at Serena. He knew the contents of the agreement without needing to see it. Serena had no reason to refuse."The terms you offered are very generous. I can't find any fault with them. But because the terms are so favorable, I don't want to sign," Serena said, biting her lip.Seeing such good conditions, Serena couldn't help but think back to a previous experience where similarly generous terms almost led her into a trap. The better
