Yen remained calm as he stood before Cang's motionless figure, who lay on the bed with an IV drip nearby, delivering an unknown liquid into his body, a detail Yen hadn't bothered to inquire about.The guard had effectively guided Yen and the others to the room where Cang was confined. It was difficult to assert that Cang was being treated, as there was no discernible improvement in his condition; in fact, it appeared to be deteriorating. The atmosphere in the room was heavy with uncertainty and concern.The sight of Yen and his colleagues dressed in hazmat suits surprised the other doctors, prompting them to question if they should have adopted the same level of precautions from the beginning.Yen had meticulously ensured they came fully prepared for the task at hand. Additional sets of hazmat suits, along with a solution derived from the antidote he had created, were stored in the trunk of their jeep, ready to be used in case of any issues with their current suits. This solution serv
"That's a very large sum…" The family head of the Wangu family sighed in response to the substantial figure. Clearly, he had not anticipated such a high cost.Yen gazed at the old man with an expression of sympathy, as if he could sense the burden the family head was feeling. Inwardly, Yen maintained a firm stance, knowing he had already lowered the price out of compassion. He silently wished he had added an additional two hundred million to the total."Are you confident that everyone, including those who were never infected, will be cured?" the family head inquired, accompanied by yet another sigh.Yen replied with confidence, "Most certainly. After this, if I should return for another payment, you are welcome to have me arrested." His bold shrug and statement carried an air of finality, as receiving 2.5 billion Khartos would be sufficient to meet his financial needs, and he had no intention of revisiting the family for further payments. Just the half billion attached would have suffi
The engine of a stylish black jeep purred to silence as it came to a stop in front of the imposing central building of the Wuhan family estate.Yen and Rotlitch disembarked from the vehicle, Yen carefully cradling a box in his hands. This unassuming box concealed the very tools that Dr. Trish had handed to him within Cang's room, a critical element in the unfolding events of their negotiation.With a sense of familiarity, Yen entered the building, moving through its halls freely. He had visited this place on multiple occasions in the past.He refrained from making any prior calls or sending text messages to inform Ming of his presence. His visit wasn't a casual one meant to chat with the family head. Instead, it was an official visit made under a unique circumstance. The condition at hand was that the family head and a significant number of other family members were afflicted by a lethal poison, gradually claiming their lives.Aware that simply notifying Ming might put her in jeopardy
Knock! Knock!!A soft, rhythmic knock echoed against Ming's door, but silence hung in the air, like a held breath. A faint, muted thud resonated from the other side, hinting at an accidental drop of something. "Your delivery, Lady Ming," a deep, masculine voice rumbled from the far side of the door. The sound of retreating footsteps slowly drifted away, fading into the distance.Ming let out a slow, steady breath, her lithe frame rising from the embrace of the oversized bed that seemed to swallow her. The room enveloped her in grandeur, a testament to the exquisite taste that was uniquely hers. It was evident that the craftsmen had labored to turn it into the haven it had become.Yet, in this symphony of opulence, there was a jarring note. Ming, usually a vision of radiant health, bore an unsettling change. Her once porcelain skin had been tainted, transformed into a deeper, unsettling shade of green. The insidious poison's tendrils had insinuated themselves into her body, a grim test
Ming's eyes flickered open, greeted by the pleasant surprise of her now normal skin, the poison's cruel marks having vanished. A rush of exhilaration coursed through her, and she hastily left her room, driven by a newfound vitality.Unbeknownst to her, Dr. Trish and Dr. Stan had just arrived, their steps leading them towards the central building of the estate. Ming, unaware of which of the doctors were making their way to the central building, yearned for a chance to express her gratitude to Yen, who had orchestrated her unexpected recovery.The news of the doctors' arrival from Yuan Pharmaceuticals reached Qing, and a determined sense of hope surged through her, despite the undeniable pain that clung to her every step. Her skin, like Ming's had been, bore a troubling green hue, a visible testament to the poison's relentless grip.With a steely resolve, Qing made her way to the central building, each step laden with the weight of her suffering. The promise of the antidote, now tantaliz
Ming made her way from her room to her mother's, responding to the summons from Yeonwha. The message that her mother had something to discuss had piqued her curiosity.Given that both parties had already taken the antidote and were no longer poisoned, a meeting was not only possible but safe. Even if they had still been affected by the poison, the immunity provided by the antidote allowed for contact within a certain time frame. This understanding of their safety allowed for the meeting between mother and daughter.With both individuals having taken the antidote, there was no issue of contact or safety between them.Yet, the act of being summoned by her mother was indeed unusual for Ming. It was a rare occurrence for Yeonwha to reach out to her daughter with a request to meet. Typically, it was Ming who sought out her mother, visiting her room, and not the other way around. The unexpected nature of the summons added an air of intrigue to the upcoming meeting, as Ming ventured into the
Yen couldn't help but wear a broad grin as he contemplated the substantial sums he had acquired from the two prominent families in just two days. The total surpassed ten billion Khartos, even after factoring in the expenditure on the antidote for the poison he had unleashed.The financial windfall was a significant step toward fulfilling his objectives and pursuing his future plans.With the completion of the last treatment within the Wangu Family and a successful discussion with the family head, an additional two hundred million had been generously gifted to the company. Family Head Wangu was evidently impressed by the antidote's effectiveness, demonstrating his appreciation with this generous gesture.As Yen and Rotlitch prepared to leave the central building of the Wangu estate, a dark black jeep came to a stop before them. Behind the wheel were none other than Dr. Trish and Dr. Stan, who had just concluded their treatments within the Wuhan Family.Satisfied with the outcome of the
Wingyu's eyes narrowed as he maintained a steadfast gaze on Yen. The notion of giving Ming to him if he was tired of her lingered in his mind like an unsettling echo.His expression turned into a deep frown as he posed a question, his voice laced with defiance. "And what are you planning to do if I don't release her to you? She remains my daughter, and I can certainly do as I please with her, including keeping her confined."Yen remained unyielding in the face of Wingyu's challenge. He responded with a cold, unwavering tone, "As you said, she remains your daughter. So you're welcome to do whatever you want with her. This isn't the first time you've done something like this, after all."The room fell into an uncomfortable silence as Yen's last words hung in the air, leaving everyone present bewildered. The room's occupants exchanged glances, wondering if there were hidden secrets between Yen and Wingyu that had been concealed from them.Before anyone could utter a word, Yen pressed on,
The smile on Yen's face lingered as he gazed at the impressive pile of cash before him. The tangible reality of the wealth he had accumulated in just a week was undeniable. The amount could have been even greater if there were more pills available for sale.Yen's grin widened as he assessed the significant profit, even after accounting for the cost of the pills. He turned to Grey, recognizing the crucial role he played in the operation."You deserve a reward for this." Yen patted Grey's shoulder thoughtfully. "How about a few dozen pills to boost your cultivation? I can see you're progressing greatly, so they'll help you advance even further." Yen offered, a satisfied smile on his face.Grey, eager to ascend in stature, nodded almost reflexively. Among cultivators, the truth held firm: the higher you climbed, the greater your standing. Elevated levels brought not just power but also a surge in reputation. Respect flowed effortlessly towards those who soared above the rest.Consider a

A week drifted by since Yen's dealings with Wingyu. The once tumultuous situation appeared to have settled, with neither side dwelling on the events that had transpired.Wingyu redirected his attention towards restoring his family's former glory. Publicly known for losing a substantial part of their wealth due to a threatening ailment, the family's narrative shifted to a tale of resilience, thanks to the timely intervention of the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company. The focus now lay on rebuilding, leaving the shadow of their recent troubles behind in the rearview mirror.Given that Cang and Qing were married, the public took the Wangu family's downturn in stride, somewhat expecting a ripple effect though less severe than the Wuhan family's setbacks.Once again, the Yuan Pharmaceutical Company played the savior, elevating its public image to formidable heights. Already esteemed as one of the city's top medicine producers, the incident catapulted the company into an almost legendary status. T
