"Whatever it is, you have to follow the rules!" the bodyguard sternly refused."Well, I'll just speak directly with Mr. Dawson," Dustin said."Sorry, guys," he added apologetically. Then, with a swift motion of his hand, a row of silver needles shot out, precisely hitting the necks of several guards. The bodyguards instantly froze, unable to move or even make a sound. Only their eyes were darting around in surprise."This is an unavoidable action. Please forgive me," Dustin said with a nod. With that, he continued into the room.As he entered the room, a sharp gaze immediately swept over him. It was accompanied by a chilling air that sent shivers down his spine. In the next moment, a black steel blade with a fierce blade aura swung viciously at Dustin's neck.Dustin raised his eyebrows and instinctively stepped back. He narrowly avoided the blade as it grazed his throat, sending a shiver down his spine.The room's door, upon being struck by the blade, shattered into pieces. I
"Exceptional quality?"Bo raised an eyebrow, giving Dustin a knowing look that sent shivers down his spine. Was this guy really eyeing him up?Dustin took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. "Mr. Dawson, I've heard that the Dawson family has made significant advancements in the field of medicine."He added, "Well, I happen to have a miraculous topical medicine called Dew Balm. It not only stops bleeding and aids in wound healing but can also remove scars. "Once it hits the market, it's sure to bring in a fortune for the Dawson family.""Topical medicine?" Mr. Dawson said, raising his teacup to take a sip with a hint of disinterest. "We have countless medicines like that in the Dawson family, such as Dawson's Healing Balm. It was specially designed for healing wounds and removing scars, and it far surpasses any other similar product available.""Dawson's Healing Balm, naturally, I've heard of it," Dustin smiled. "But compared to my Dew Balm, it falls quite short.""Oh? Qu
Looking at the wound, it was clear that the cut was deep. If it were an ordinary person, they probably couldn't help but scream. However, Elara remained expressionless throughout. She didn't even furrow her brow. It was as if the blade didn't touch her.This woman was undoubtedly a fierce warrior!"Give me the medicine!" Elara stepped onto a chair. She tore off half of her pants, revealing a well-toned thigh that combined strength and beauty. She scooped out some ointment from a jar and casually applied it to the wound.Then, something magical happened. In just half an hour, the bleeding from the wound had stopped. The cold and numbing sensation made Elara, who had been emotionless, finally show a trace of surprise. As a grandmaster martial artist, she could naturally feel the subtle changes in her body.She had to admit that this ointment was truly extraordinary. After about half an hour, Elara wiped the remaining ointment away with a towel. The previous wound had mostly h
"Dustin, why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat you." Bo chuckled and gave Dustin's sturdy shoulder a little squeeze. He complimented, "You look slender, but you're quite robust to the touch. It must be one of those cases where clothes make you appear slimmer, but underneath, there's strength. Impressive, really impressive."Dustin shivered with discomfort and hastily pushed Bo's hand away. "I appreciate the compliment, but let's stick to business. I can't accommodate any other requests.""Come on, Dustin! I'm only looking out for your best interests here. With the Dawson family behind you, you'll practically own Oakvale. All you need to do is make a slight sacrifice. It's not a big deal. Remember, most people don't even get this chance."Dustin was bewildered and replied, "Thanks for the offer, but I can't accept that kind of 'chance.'""Man, you just don't realize how lucky you are. If it weren't for your good looks and talent, do you think I'd cut you any slack?" Bo shoo
"Hey, Dustin," Bo Dawson said with enthusiasm, "Have you ever considered becoming my brother-in-law? "If you married into the Dawson family, you'd have our unwavering support. Rain or shine, we'd have your back."He leaned in a bit closer and added, "What's more, my thirteen sisters are not only beautiful but also accomplished in various arts and skills. You wouldn't be at a loss for good company."Bo was playing the role of a matchmaker with all his might.Dustin tactfully declined, saying, "Mr. Dawson, I'm just an ordinary guy. I don't think I could ever reach the heights of the Dawson family."Bo waved off his concerns, saying, "Nonsense! I don't care about any of that. If you catch my eye, you could still be my brother-in-law. My sisters won't refuse."With an enthusiastic grin, Bo pulled out his phone, displaying photos of his sisters. He began to introduce them one by one. "Come on, have a look. These are pictures of my sisters. You can pick anyone you like, no reservati
After reaching an agreement with Bo, Dustin immediately called Lana from the next room. The three of them had a detailed discussion and signed the relevant contracts. With that, the tripartite alliance was officially established.Over the next two days, Dustin juggled between teaching the pharmacists to make Dew Balm and working on the reconstruction of Harmony Healers. He was busy and in high spirits, running from one end to the other. Fortunately, Lana's assistance helped streamline the process. Then, things quickly fell into place.On the side of the Welch and Swanson families, progress was even quicker. The production of Dew Balm had already entered the sales phase. They even rebranded it as "Rejuvenaid". The name signified a miraculous recovery. Although Rejuvenaid didn't meet the drug content standards, the power of their wealth made these concerns practically irrelevant. After a massive promotional campaign, the Welch and Swanson families' Rejuvenaid had gained signifi
"Show them in," Greta replied."Of course."The phone call ended, and a few moments later, the door to the office swung open. Ezra and Eleanor walked in together, both sporting smiles on their faces."Ms. Dawson, we hope we're not disturbing you by coming unannounced," Ezra said with an air of politeness.Eleanor, on the other hand, went straight for the couch and took a seat. She exuded a leader's presence."Mr. Swanson, Ms. Welch, what brings you here today? Do you have any business with me?" Greta maintained her calm demeanor."Business? Yes," Ezra responded with a not-so-subtle smile. "We wanted to discuss a business opportunity with you.""What kind of opportunity?" Greta asked, acting as if she was oblivious to their intent."Ms. Dawson, have you heard about our recent product, Rejuvenaid?" Ezra asked."I've heard of it, yes. What's the matter?" Greta's expression remained composed."Great, that makes things easier." Ezra smiled. Then, he said, "Rejuvenaid, our la
"Ms. Welch, are you threatening me?" Greta's face darkened at Eleanor's aggressive tone, and her eyes turned sharp.The Dawson family had vast sales channels and significant influence in the pharmaceutical industry. It was reasonable to offer a profit share of 40 to 50 percent in a partnership, especially given the quality of the product in question.But Eleanor was acting as if she was the one doing them a favor; she clearly didn't understand the capabilities of the Dawson family. It was an insult to the Dawsons for Eleanor to offer only ten percent profit. Her behavior was akin to trying to deceive the Dawson family, treating them as if they were naive."Ms. Dawson, please don't misunderstand. Eleanor is just kidding." Ezra quickly attempted to defuse the situation, making eye contact with Eleanor, who seemed to miss the cues.Damn it! Was Eleanor out of her mind? Earlier, they had agreed on a 30 percent profit, and now she was trying to squeeze Greta down to just ten percent.
