Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist CHAPTER 16:
"What did they do to you in there?" Edward asked Marcus Santosh the moment he was released by the men who seized him."Just a bunch of doctors testing me in a machine, and I dunno why," Marcus replied angrily."It was because of the virus. They knew you had it, and that caused the panic. But don't worry, I already told them you can't infect others, and it seems like their tests have already proven that," Edward said to him. "You were right about Doctor Tish, though. I just discovered she's an agent of the CIA.""I told you!" Marcus confirmed. "What did they tell you there?""She was an agent sent by a politician to spy on me. The man's name is Mr. Smith, and he wants me to go heal his daughter, who has been affected by the virus," Edward replied, but Santosh suddenly wore a look of suspicion on his face again."And don't tell me you believe that, right?" he asked, eyes fixed on Edward as he awaited his reply."Of course I did. They showed me a photo of her. She's been badly affected b

"Wait. So you guys tricked me? If she isn't your daughter, then who is she?" Edward demanded, turning to the girl sitting silently on the bed, her head bowed. "Don't worry about her. It's not your concern. Come, let me show you something," Smith said. Edward followed him out of the room, with Doctor Tish and Inspector Fox close behind. "You see, Edward, I admire your spirit and intelligence. I've heard about your journey from a poor background and how your wife abandoned you. But none of that matters. Do you know why? Because you possess something invaluable—knowledge. The government doesn't care about people like us; all they do is serve their own interests. I'm sure you're aware this virus was engineered by them to control the world and profit from it. Use your talents and join me. Together, we could conquer the world, and I promise your descendants will never know poverty," Smith said. "Sir, I appreciate your advice, but I'm not interested in your agenda. I've healed the girl

"Be careful with the people around you. They will kill you just the way they killed me!"Edward stood with tears streaming down his face as he stared at the note given to him by the nurse. His mom's final words to him were a warning, proving that she didn't die from the surgery, but that she was killed. But who could have killed her?Crying bitterly, he suddenly grew a strong hatred for Richard. If not for Richard, he wouldn't have gone to prison, leaving his mom vulnerable to attack. He would have been around her, but because of his absence, he couldn't even have a clear account of what the message was talking about."I must make them pay!" Edward proclaimed bitterly through his tears and stormed out of the hospital. He quickly took a cab that rode him back to Mr. Fustus's store. He was going to make sure the people who looked down on him fell to their knees and paid with their wealth. They were going to regret ever despising him. His mom's death fueled his pain into vengeance."Edwa
Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist CHAPTER 19: WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
It took Edward less than an hour to mix the chemicals and finally produce the virus cure. Afterward, he met Mr. Claire, who gave him a certificate of accreditation before he left the lab."I'm done, bro," Edward said to Mr. Fustus, who had been waiting in the car outside."So what's next? I'm already drained," Fustus asked, looking exhausted."Sorry, bro. Just one more step to cross, and that's visiting the WHO office.""Okay, the headquarters is an hour's drive away from here, just so you know," Fustus informed him."I know, bro. Let's proceed."Mr. Fustus ignited the engine, and they drove off. They approached the massive office of the WHO and both exited the car. Edward stood for a minute outside to admire the view. He had only visited this place once, back when he was in college. They had come for an excursion. He had always dreamed of submitting a sample of his medicine to save the world, and standing there now made him feel like he was so close to achieving his dreams.They both
Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist CHAPTER 20: VICTORY IN THE (WHO) OFFICE
The sample was taken to the lab and given to the lab scientists. Mr. Xander first told them to run a test on the sample to see if they could identify the chemicals used while he stood aside and watched. This was his first step to prove whether Edward was actually saying rubbish. But he was shocked when the scientists replied after minutes of attempts that the chemicals were untraceable."What do you mean it's untraceable? How is that possible? Run the test again!""Sir, we've done that several times, but it didn't work. It's possible for this to happen, but it's rare," the lab scientists responded. This made Xander's curiosity grow much stronger, and he quickly ordered that they try the sample on an infected lab rat while he stood aside and watched in curiosity.The sample was put in a syringe and injected into an infected rat that was brought out of a transparent glass cage. They all stared in shock when the rat's eyes opened, and it jumped back to its feet while the green color slow
Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist 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
Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist CHAPTER 22: RICHARD AND SANDRA
An hour after Edward had left the president's office, the interview with President Wilson went viral on the internet, hitting over 200 million views. 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
Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist 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 68
"Has your dad ever had any disagreements with someone in his office?" Edward questioned suspiciously. Muktar went into a quick thought before he replied. "Well, the one I can think of is with Officer Basit, and that's his PA." "You mean the same PA who came into the office when he slumped?" Edward asked. "Yes, that's him. They had a little disagreement, which my dad talked about, but they were cool. My dad never saw him as a threat, and I don't think he is." "Your dad not seeing him as a threat doesn't mean it wasn't the case for him. He might have seen your dad as a threat to his own plans. Well, I don’t think there’s much to be done now. He’s been buried already without an autopsy result," Edward said. "Yeah, you're right," Muktar replied, seeming sober. "Don’t worry, bro. It’s all in the past. I’m glad you’re out of prison, and most glad you were the one who pulled the trigger on your uncle. It would have been a different story by now." "Yeah, and all thanks to you. I

"What do you mean? Are you serious?" Muktar said as he took the paper, his eyes fixed on it. He was surprised. That same surprise could be found on Edward's face too. They both quickly read the content on the paper and saw it was a fine of 5,000 rands for each of them. Amidst the shock, the prisoners also congratulated Muktar for his freedom. "Let's go discuss outside," Inspector Haske said, and they all walked out of the prison. They got to the police interrogation room, where they saw a man with dreaded hair seated, his hands cuffed. Upon seeing the guy, Muktar shouted at the top of his voice, "That's him! That's the guy who shot at the couples!" He said angrily. That moment, he felt like he should rush the guy and strangle him to death but he restrained himself. Edward and Muktar moved forward to the counter, where Edward paid a whopping sum of 10,000 rands for his and Muktar's bail. After that, they were given their belongings held by the police, and they finally left th

CHAPTER 66:
Edward was escorted out of the field towards the police counter, where he reached for his wallet, brought out some cash, and handed it to the inspector. "Now, can I have medical aid?" he asked, watching as Haske smiled while receiving the money. Edward was taken to the medical center, where the doctor attended to him. There, he discovered that some people actually bribed their way out of hard labor in prison. Had he known earlier, he would have paid and remained in the cell while the rest endured the labor. Somehow, he still felt pity for the other prisoners. He stayed in the medical center until nightfall and was then returned to the prison. Upon entering the prison, he noticed that half the prisoners were asleep, while those awake were leaning weakly against the wall, including Muktar. At the sight of Edward, Muktar quickly stood up and approached him. "Hey, how's your leg?" he asked. "It's fairly okay. I can see y'all are tired." "Yes, the work today was tedious. We w

CHAPTER 65
"But he said he broke into his uncle's house. So, who exactly were the people killed?" Edward asked."Well, he didn’t lie. The people killed were his uncle's son and his wife, who still lived with his father. It’s reported that he tried to escape after the shooting, but he was caught by a local vigilante on duty that night and handed over to the police.""So, does that mean there’s no way to help him out?""There’s a way. From what was stated here, he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger. And the person killed is also a wanted criminal. If we can locate the person who did it, we might be able to set him free.""And how can we find that person?""The vigilante knows who they are, and he’s hiding somewhere. If we offer him a reasonable amount, he might expose the real shooter, and your friend can go free.""And how much would that take?" Edward asked."Just 300 rands," the barrister replied."Done. Just make sure you get me out of here first, then we can deal with his case." After gat

"How do you mean I can get out of here with money?" Edward asked."Because you are in a corrupt system. With money, you wouldn’t even need a lawyer. Just pay the police, and they’ll let you go, though under some conditions which I can help you with. I can help you get free, you know?" Muktar said, and Edward narrowed his eyes at him."You can help me out of here? But what about you, though? If you have the power, why are you still in here?" Edward asked, and Muktar smiled."Mine is a long story... I was actually convicted of a crime I was guilty of and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment," Muktar said."Tell me what you did. I want to hear it," Edward asked.Muktar explained how he was convicted for robbing an old man in the village because of money. According to him, the old man was an uncle who had illegally taken his dad's wealth when his dad passed. He reported the case to the police but didn’t get justice because the man bribed the police. Then, he decided to take matters into his

CHAPTER 63: **AT THE PRISON**
They arrived at the prison yard some minutes later, and Edward was taken to a particular office in the prison center. In the office, the people who had brought him explained something to the officers in their language, which he couldn’t understand. Afterwards, he was stripped of his clothes and taken to a prison cell with just his boxers on.Edward was surprised at the way they handled him. They didn’t even hear his side of the story, let alone give him the chance to get a lawyer. In his prison cell, there were about a hundred people. Amongst them, Edward stood out. His skin color, hair, and everything about him was different. The prisoners stared at him like an outcast, communicating with each other and laughing. He knew they were gossiping about him. Some tried speaking to him, but he couldn’t grasp what they were saying since they spoke in their language.There was limited space in the prison. It was small and stank awfully. In the cell, they defecated and urinated on the bare floo

CHAPTER 62: TROUBLE WITH THE YOUTHS
Seeing the angry youths surrounding him, Edward began to tremble in fear. He knew he had been busted, but what he couldn't fathom was where all these youths had come from. This place was isolated just a few minutes ago. How come there were a hundred people here already?"Who are you?" one of the youths asked, his head covered with a red beret. He was the leader of the group, standing in the middle of them."I... I... I—""Speak, or we’ll slit your throat, foreigner. Who are you, and what are you doing in our secret temple?" he asked again, this time raising his cutlass as the rest did the same.Edward was confused about what to say. He knew that revealing his true purpose could get him killed or thrown in prison, just as Donald had warned him. He had to come up with a believable lie to clear his name."I—I’m sorry. I'm a tourist who came to explore this place. I have no bad intentions at heart," he said, faking a smile. The youths exchanged glances, communicating in their local dialec

CHAPTER 61
As early as 8 a.m., Edward was up. He walked into the bathroom to have a bath, then returned to the room to start dressing. Today, he was leaving for his first adventure in searching for blackwood leaves. He saw it as an adventure, imagining the risks he was taking to find them.He wondered how he had woken up on his own without hearing a knock from a waiter. Hotels in Ashville would usually bring breakfast to the room at 7 a.m. sharp, and dinner every night, but it seemed things were different here. Maybe it was just a place to sleep over and nothing more.A few minutes later, he finished dressing, picked up the things he’d need, put them in his bag, and headed out.“Good morning, sir,” the female receptionist greeted him as he appeared.“Good morning. I’m heading out,” Edward said, handing her his key.“This early? What about breakfast?” she asked.“Well, no one served me breakfast,” he replied.“Oh, sorry, sir. I can go get it for you if you want. You just need to give me money and

CHAPTER 60: KANURI KINGDOM
The drive from the airport was smooth. Edward got a glimpse of the beautiful city in Africa. The towering buildings, skyscrapers, and exotic cars along the way created a fascinating view. Africa looked stunning. However, these beautiful sights gradually began to fade as they neared their destination.A couple of hours later, the cab arrived at Kanuri Kingdom. "Welcome to Kanuri Kingdom," the cab driver said to Edward.The first place they passed was the village market. People were busy going about their daily lives, trading and interacting with one another. Though it was already evening and getting dark, the market was still bustling, as if the day had just begun. The vibrant African culture was evident in the way everyone interacted. It was nothing like Ashville, where people mostly kept to themselves."Thank you," Edward replied, his attention still focused outside the window, observing everything.The roads became rough, with the driver encountering many potholes as they made thei
