Russell casually entered the supermarket through the back door and closed it. It wasn’t dark inside the storeroom, but there wasn’t enough light either because of minimum ventilation. Without being seen by Zhero, two men were exchanging a single cigar made with a potent drug. They were too involved in what they were doing to bother about Russell who smashed their heads in.The smell of the cigar made Russell feel strange, but he didn’t have the time to worry about it because the other workers heard the noise of the men falling to the floor. Russell made use of the display racks to hide himself and target either one or two workers at a time. Grabbing one’s mouth from behind and landing a knuckle punch on the temple did the trick. While walking around, Russell saw all the powder and liquids they were mixing with the grocery products. “Mixing drugs in food products? What the hell are these bastards up to?” What he saw motivated him even more to take these gangsters down.After Russell t
Along with the police officers, an ambulance also arrived at the supermarket. Russell and Zhero were taken in the ambulance while the police dealt with the gangsters that were still in the bathroom.Russell asked the nurses to not give him any anesthesia before removing the bullets out of him. They said, it’ll hurt. Russell said he wouldn’t mind if it hurt him.As Russell cringed in pain while the bullets were plucked out, Zhero snorted, “You are so stupid, brat. You have no idea who you just messed with.”“I just stopped criminals from poisoning the people,” Russell said. “How is that stupid? Even if I die for doing a good thing, I’m fine with it.”“Bullshit. People are all selfish to the core. There’s nothing wrong with profiting off of them,” Zhero blurted energetically. “The drug companies don’t do well if the people are doing so well. That’s why, there’s nothing wrong with making people sick with food and then selling medicine to them.”Russell kicked in Zhero’s face, shocking t
Russell’s treatment went well. The senior doctor had sent a video snippet to Liam before leaving the room.A nurse hurriedly entered the room, wanting to inject Russell with a poison before he woke up. However, to her surprise, Russell was awake and was eating an apple. “Hello, Miss,” Russell smiled at her. “You look tense. Is something wrong?” he asked her because she froze at the entrance. “Do you want an apple?”“U-Uh,” she didn't know what to say. If she were to turn around and leave, her life and her family members’ lives would be in danger. So, she approached the bed. “I came to administer a medicine.”“Medicine?” Russell could see the injection in her hands. “You can do anything you want, except inoculate me.”“Pardon?” she brought the needle closer to him anyway.“I said, don’t shove that thing in me,” Russell’s voice turned serious. “Call the senior doctor if you want. He’s already approved to give me medicine through the form of consumable liquids and pills.”“It’s gonna be
After much thinking, Russell called Liam and told what happened in the hospital. Straight away, Liam sent a security unit, which safely escorted Russell to the Lynn estate.Liam was waiting for him in the hall. After seeing Russell in bandages, Liam’s expression slightly changed. “You’ve done well to survive. Can you sit on the couch? We’ll have a little talk.”“Sure, sir.” Russell sat down with effort.Liam told the security guys to leave, and they walked out of the building and closed the doors.“You’ve put your whole feet in a mire made out of cow dung, Russell,” Liam said calmly. “It’s an open secret that even small drug companies these days are not independent owners but are owned by bigger companies. So, only a few big companies have the say in the pharma industry. Those guys hold power world wide.”“Isn’t there anything we can do against them?”“Since I’m personally intervening, I’ll stop them from touching you again,” Liam assured confidently. “But I need you to promise me tha
Russell spent more than an hour talking with Liam about many things. After Russell insisted that he’d be at Tom’s house because Tom and Jessica needed his presence there, Liam agreed to drop him there personally.When they walked out of the house together, Russell was surprised to see Alpha Wolfe car outside. Liam opened the hood of the car and poured what looked like water into the tank.“W-What are you doing, sir?” Russell asked with an almost petrified expression.Alpha Wolfe was an all-electric car, so why was Liam pouring water into what looked like a tank?“I’m just pouring water, because this thing runs on water, too, just as it can run on electricity,” Liam said casually.Russell raised his brows. “You sure know how to joke.”“I wasn’t joking though,” Liam kept at it. “This car was developed by the Wolfe family. My mom managed to buy it somehow from them who are much more mysterious than the three supreme families. And they’ve built many groundbreaking things that are far more
Liam went to talk with one of the top bioscientists of the world, Jonathan Egor, who also happened to be the husband of a world-renowned pharmacist Denise. She looked much younger than her actual age. Jonathan’s home was a small villa on the surface, but beneath it, there were more than forty floors underground where he conducted all kinds of research. He didn’t build this facility but his grandfather did. Normally,Jonathan wouldn’t give appointments to even the president of the country, but he was willing to talk with Liam now. In fact, he invited Liam to the tenth floor underground, where Jonathan was currently researching on killing mice with common cold and other easily bearable illnesses. There were too many bizarre experiments taking place on each floor. There were hundreds of workers, all of whom were probably people with an IQ over 150. Jonathan didn’t speak with Liam straight away but made him watch what he was doing. He pressed a button that released radiation in the glas
Tom returned home and was relieved to see Russell doing alright, despite being wounded by gunshots.Russell only told them that some street thug attacked him with a knife. However, the three women scolded him so much all the rust in his ears melted off. They told him to be more careful.Jessica asked him if he managed to at least break the jaw of his opponent.Elora told him to never get into street fights as there could be people who would purposely pick fights to steal or make some kind of controversy.Nora told him to avoid physical fights altogether because they’d only leave nothing but regret later on. She said, “Wrath of man makes him lose his strength and character.”All in all, Russell was made to sleep in the tuition hall itself.The student, Taniya, came for classes, but she couldn’t spend any time with Russell as per her plan because there were three women around him all the time. Even though she could see him, she couldn’t speak to him. At this Taniya had no idea that the
Russell was learning how to cook from Nora herself. Tom was just watching from the side.As a result, Jessica was now alone with Elora in the tuition hall.Elora expressed her gratitude by kissing Jessica on the cheek. “I know you are a good friend of my son, but I never got to properly thank you, and you also tried to help him when he’s at his lowest. You really are a good girl, Jessica. Whoever marries you will be a lucky guy.”“Um… do you think I’m pretty?” Jessica asked.“As in the face? Or the heart?”“How about both?”Elora smiled softly. “That’s not quite possible. After all, a pretty face is far-flung from a pretty heart. You can’t have both in the same person as the world treats them very differently. There may be some exceptions, but they are very rare.”Jessica felt somewhat better after hearing that because Elora words sort of ensured her that the chances of Jessica having a better heart than Kyra were high by default because Kyra had a much more pretty face. “You are so w
