"What is it again?" Theresia Smith's face instantly grew cloudy.

The male assistant who came hurriedly showed his cell phone, which showed a replay on TikTok. At that moment, there was a scene of a man over forty with tears in his eyes. His face looked blackish, and some of his skin seemed peeling off.

The man with the TikTok account "Jackie Tan" began to testify in a stammering voice like a grieving person.

"Guys, that Rejuvenate cream is a failed product. It was made carelessly by an alchemist with no pharmaceutical background. At the beginning of use, I looked younger, and my skin was firm.

The company's wine production activities were simple as long as a business license was secured. Zack Lockhart, the CEO and third richest person in Accomont City, controls a substantial amount of real estate, encompassing anything from homes and stores to grand office buildings. Finding a structure to house a factory is therefore not difficult. A number of structures were identified as factories that were not utilized in the growth of Lockhart Pharmaceutical. Furthermore, all of the factory's equipment—which is mostly used to produce drugs—was readily available and just required to be installed in accordance with the requirements and operations of the facility. On the third day following the meeting with Amanda Lockhart, there was a phone call. With a slight smile on his lips, Taylor gazed at the call on his mobile phone screen.
