CHAPTER 21: AT THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE
In a few minutes, the presidential convoy arrived at the White House, and Edward was stunned by everything he saw around him. This was only the third time he had ever been to the White House—the first two times were in his dreams. He had never actually been to the White House until now. He could see towering buildings and tall trees standing beautifully. The place was like another world, and the media had not done it justice in its descriptions. The convoy drove past leisure parks and offices before finally stopping at the presidential lodge, a seven-story building. They all exited the car. They got into an elevator, heading to the top floor where the president's office was situated. When they reached a brown door with the tag "THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT," the Senate president pushed the door open, taking the first step inside, followed by Edward and the security personnel. Edward froze in place when he discovered it was a conference room. A large rectangular table, made of gold

The world was eagerly anticipating the production of the vaccines that would put an end to the deadly virus.Inside Hudson Pharmaceutical Company, all the workers were abuzz with news about Edward, all shocked at how a man who was once a janitor—insulted and thrown out of the company by bouncers—had now become a public figure the whole world was relying on to liberate the nation."Has Edward ever talked about having a cure for any virus before?""How was he able to find a cure this fast?""This still feels like a dream to me. Don't you think he might come for revenge on us?"These were the words flying around among the junior workers.Meanwhile, in the executive office of Hudson Company, Sandra Hudson stood in front of the television screen, her arms crossed against her chest, staring at the TV with surprise on her face as she watched th

CHAPTER 23: DINNER WITH THE PRESIDENT**
At exactly 7 p.m., a long presidential convoy drove up and parked in front of Edward's house. Already dressed in an exquisite black suit and black Italian shoes, which he had purchased earlier, Edward stood in front of his mirror, checking himself out as he got ready to leave. He was tense, trying hard to calm the adrenaline rushing through his body. Having dinner with the president and his family was such a big deal. He prayed he wouldn't mess up."I can do this," he sighed heavily to calm down, saying it to his reflection in the mirror before stepping out of his house.Stepping outside, he could see a good number of presidential escorts dressed in black suits, eyes covered with dark shades, all standing at attention as they awaited him. Among the men was a beautiful blonde woman with long dark hair, standing next to a black Lamborghini, its color reflecting under the streetlights. She was dressed in a black suit and skirt, with dark shades covering her eyes, giving her a smart and p

CHAPTER 24: LOYLDS LABORATORY
Edward was dressed in his exquisite suit, staring at his reflection in the mirror. The pictures of his dinner with the president had already gone viral on the internet. Everyone was talking about it, especially how the notoriously rude daughters of President Wilson held him tightly in the picture, sparking rumors that the two had a crush on the world-famous lab scientist. He just smiled at it. Today, he was ready to take the first step towards achieving his dreams, which included getting his own laboratory.He ordered a ride, which took him to Debest Estate and Housing Ventures, the top housing company in the entire city.Stepping through the automated doors of Debest Ventures, all eyes fell on him. Both customers and busy workers couldn't help but shift their attention to him. He could hear them murmuring to each other, some reaching for their phones to confirm if he was truly the biochemist who had found the cure for the virus."That's Edward, the man who found the cure for the viru

CHAPTER 25:
Loylds Laboratory began its first production on a Monday morning. Having employed hundreds of workers, Edward never revealed the process or formula he used to produce the vaccines. Instead, he would go into a room that only he could access, make large quantities, and then have his workers handle the packaging and marketing. This was to ensure that none of them learned his secret formula and potentially sold it to others.For the past weeks, Edward’s name had been trending globally, making him one of the most talked-about men on earth. Magazines, journals, and media outlets were all discussing him. From his childhood history to his college days, and how he was able to heal his first patient while in prison—this was the trending news worldwide. Although his story inspired hope in young scientists and the world at large, it also sparked controversy. Many were skeptical, especially in other countries, where they doubted the authenticity of Edward’s vaccines. They refused to believe the ex

**RISE 26: SCREENING**
**THE NEXT MORNING**By 9 a.m. the next morning, the vicinity of Loylds Laboratory was filled with an array of exquisite cars, all belonging to top pharmaceutical company owners from the town of Ashville. They had all come for the screening interview to partner with Loylds for vaccine distribution.Seventy CEOs, who made it to the screening out of the 200 that applied, were seated on soft, comfortable chairs in an elegant waiting room on one of the floors. They were being served drinks and light snacks as they waited for their turns. Edward sat in his office, dressed professionally for the interviews.The first CEO to walk into his office made Edward rise from his seat in respect. His name was Judge Kefiano, the son of Mr. Kefiano, who founded the first modern-day pharmaceutical company that had flourished so well. Most CEOs in Ashville viewed his father as a mentor who had inspired many in the world of medicine.Edward had a brief chat with him, and after reviewing all his certificat

CHAPTER 27:
Sandra Hudson returned home after the disappointing appointment she had with Edward and walked past Richard, who was sitting on the couch with a drink in his left hand, holding and looking at a magazine."Sandra, you can't just pass your husband like that without giving me feedback on how it went," he said to Sandra, who was heading upstairs to the room. She paused, heaved a sigh, and then turned to reply to him."It didn't go well. Edward refused to give me the vaccines," she said weakly.Richard, in shock, shoved the magazine on the table and stood up quickly with a confused expression on his face. "What do you mean he refused to give you the vaccines? Did you do everything I asked you to do in that office?""If I did it well? Ha!" She scoffed and folded her arms over her chest. "Trust me, I'm a woman. I tried all the seductive methods I know, but he rejected me and ordered me to leave his office," she said.Richard faced the window, with both hands on his waist. He seemed really su

TIME: 8PMBeautifully illuminants filled the hall, and chairs and tables were properly arranged in a banquet style with over thousands of people occupying each spot with their friends and families. The whole place was flooded with securities. Outside the hall had over a thousand of expensive cars and vans, most of which were governmental convoys from different parts of the world. Thousands of scientists, politicians, CEOs, and influential figures around the world were present for the party; it was a gathering of the elites.

CHAPTER 29:
Edward's expression suddenly lightened up the moment he saw Maria in front of him, but he was still engulfed in surprise at her request."Did you just say I should dance with you?" he asked, fidgeting."Yes, or do you have a girl? Because I can't find anyone around you." Maria turned around, searching to see if there was a girl nearby, but Edward shook his head."No, no, no, there's no one. I was just sur—ermmm—weren't you dancing with a guy—" Edward stuttered, his eyes still locked with Maria's green orbs.Having stretched out her hand for a while, Maria said, "C'mon Edward, my hand is already hurting.""Oh, I'm sorry," he quickly took her hand. Maria gulped down her remaining drink and placed the glass on the table as she looked up at him with a smile. Her facial expression and tone showed she had already had a lot to drink and was intoxicated."Your hands are supposed to be on my waist. That's how it works," she said, placing both hands on his shoulders and directly looking into hi

CHAPTER 30
In a dark room, Edward sat on a chair, a cup of alcohol in his hand, which he sipped as he swirled himself around. It was 1 a.m., and his celebration party had already come to an end. All the guests had returned home safely. Now that he had achieved everything he ever wanted, it was time to start the games—or rather, the revenge he had planned.The door opened, and a tall man dressed smartly in a black suit, with dark shades covering his eyes, confidently walked into the room. His name was Gerald, a highly trained, retired personnel in the social services. Gerald had worked for top politicians and the government as a personal aide before, and Edward had employed him a few days ago to become his personal aide."You sent for me, sir," Gerald said."Have you checked all parts of the estate to ensure no spy is hiding anywhere?" Edward asked."Yes, sir. I ordered the security team to do that, and I also went to the control room to check. The cameras didn't detect any spies, and neither did
