"Charlotte, you've been following me for a while now, why don't you show yourself." Eric chuckled, sitting on a chair while crossing his legs.The bush rumbled and a female figure with a displeased expression written all over her face steeped out of the bushes."How do you know my name?" Charlotte questioned, boring her eyes into Eric as though she wanted to get him to cough up the answers."Well I have my ways, same way you know my name." Eric shrugged, ignoring the oppressive aura Charlotte was emitting.He couldn't possibly say I have an omnipotent system that knows everything. It was the one who told me your name.I know not your name, but even your surname. But there was no way he was going to say this out loudly, he would incur her wrath.Charlotte froze hearing this. Could it be that Eric was also part of a secret organization she didn't know about?There has been a rumor of an organization whose strength was said to be able to rival theirs and besides, they were not to cross p
"So compiling all that you've said, you want me to join the defense department cause you think my medical skills would be of great use to the defense department, right?" Eric laughed looking at Charlotte."Well, yeah." Charlotte hesitated for a bit before confirming Eric's words."Are there beautiful girls like you there?" Eric inquired with a knowing smile on his face."Nope, the defense department is made up of mostly men, but there are girls too, just that the department is a little bit different." Charlotte thought for a while before replying."You don't need to worry about that, I'll make sure you get one of the best pay ever, and you'll be highly respected by everyone because of your skills." She added."I see." Eric muttered, stroking his chin as though he was deep in thought."You should consider this offer. Your medical skills are great, and if you are lucky, you can catch the attention of one of our leading doctors and be his disciple." Charlotte added quickly.Though Eric w
"What proposal?" Charlotte growled, releasing her aura to suppress Eric.The now friendly smile on her face has been replaced with an unfriendly one. She was not annoyed at the fact that Eric rejected her.Rather, she was annoyed at the fact that Eric made her words go to waste while looking like he was going to accept her offer only for him to end up rejecting it.It was so frustrating that she wanted to strangle him if she could. But she didn't want to commit murder, so she could only resort to some other means."If you can land even a single blow on me, then I'll join the defense department, if not you'll be my tour guide in Brooklyn for the time I'll be here." Eric said, raising his finger up.He had been looking for a way to gather information about the people the System gave to him.Charlotte would be a good help, so he was not going to miss this chance. He had to use it properly."Fine I agree." Charlotte agreed almost immediately, not thinking about Eric's words even for a mom
Charlotte frowned looking at Eric as though she wanted to bore into his soul to get the answer she wanted."Why are you looking at me that way? Am I so handsome that you can't stop staring at me." Eric asked with a chuckle."Humph!" Charlotte snorted coldly, turning her face away from Eric.She didn't want to have anything to do with the latter, all she wanted was just to avoid him at all cost."Or perhaps, you are thinking about going back on your words?" Eric cackled, looking at Charlotte who had turned away from him."Never would I do that." Charlotte snorted coldly.Though she has been played by Eric, she was someone who had her pride carved into her bones, so there was no way she was going to go back on her words.Even if she was going to die, there was no way she would go back on what she had said.She would maintain it to the very end and then she would show him that she was far stronger."Since you're now my guide, how about we start off by going somewhere with a good relaxat
"Now what?" Charlotte looked at Eric standing in front of the huge building of NovaPharm Industries."We go in of course." Eric smiled, not minding the way Charlotte sounded even for a moment."I see." Charlotte nodded and didn't say anything.She had already considered that she would wait for Eric on anything he wanted to do, of course, this included this.Even though she hadn't been here before. Well…her status would not allow her to be.But she was sure that even the owner of the company would greet her with respect if he or she knew who she was.But she couldn't care less about these little details. She wanted to see what Eric was capable of. He had said that he was going to get in, she wanted to see it.She didn't know if he was just boasting or not. But for some strange reason she couldn't understand, she believed him.She just couldn't believe that she believed Eric. But there was nothing she could do about it. They were stuck here anyway."So what brought you to Brooklyn?" Cha
"And why's that?" Charlotte frowned looking at Eric in surprise."That's because the one who we are waiting for is here." Eric rolled his eyes not knowing what to do at Charlotte's inquisitiveness.Charlotte frowned and looked at the approaching car that had finally stopped and the headlights had also been turned off.Soon, a figure came from the car. Charlotte's pupils contracted seeing the figure and she couldn't help but gasp."Mr. Jackson?""Oh, Miss Charlotte." Jackson, who was also not expecting this, froze seeing Charlotte as he called."I didn't expect to see the miss out here, what a nice surprise." Jackson laughed after a while, coming back to his senses."I wasn't expecting to see you either." Charlotte forced a smile.She knew who Jackson was. He was the current president of NovaPharm Industries.She was from the defense force and due to the nature of her job, she had met with Jackson quite a few times.Besides, Jackson was a good friend of her father, so she respected the
Soon, they arrived at the ward. Walking inside, Eric looked around with a slight frown on his face.The ward was a private ward, so it was just a bed inside the large ward enough for ten people.Also, the machine all around beeps indicating that the patient, a girl, around the age of sixteen was still alive.Her body was skinny and the structure of her bones was visible."Didn't you say she's just an asthmatic patient, why is she looking like someone with malnourishment instead?" Eric voiced out, looking at the girl with a frown."Yes, but for some reason, she became like this after taking the asthma drugs," Jackson replied almost immediately."I see," Eric muttered, walking towards the girl.With his sharp eyes, he could see that something was wrong. The Drug he modified had zero side effects.It was even the ones Jackson produced before that had a side effect, so how the heck had the situation developed into this?Could it be that he was wrong? No that wasn't the case. He knew the p
Everyone froze, all turning to look at Eric incredulously, not believing their ears.What the fuck did he just say? Who the heck did he think he was? What the fuck outs he doing here in the first place when he knew he was going to spew nonsense."And why do you say I'm wrong?" Grandfather Tang asked, looking at Eric, his interests equipped."That's because you are wrong." Eric shrugged, not answering.Charlotte's face darkened upon hearing this? What did Eric think he was doing?Since the head doctor had already decided, then so be it, there was no way he was going to be wrong."You don't know well about the properties of each component of the medicine." Eric began before anyone could reprimand him."The medicine has no side effects to the human body, also, no matter what illness the user is suffering from, it won't aggravate it, but rather help suppress it while doing its main work." Eric continued."And how do you know about this?" Grandfather Tang inquired, his interest in Eric had
