CHAPTER 153THE MEETING "Who was that and what was the call all about,"Collins said immediately after Tony dropped the call. The look on Tony's face was a bit apprehensive. The call must have been very important and worrisome."I just got a call from Rongtai pharmaceutical company and they said they want to meet and that they're ready to work with my schedule. When I'm ready, they will be ready too ."Tony said with a scowl on his face. He doesn't like the sound of all this."Why do they want to meet? Did they say the reason? It could be a trap. I don't like the sound of all this,"Collins said as he facepalm himself. This News gives off something odd."They didn't say the reason for the meeting. They only said that it's about a very crucial matter and it was important that we met and discussed it,"Tony said as he tapped his middle finger on the table. He didn't have a good feeling about this."What do you think, should I agree to meet? I told him that I was going to get back to him,"T
CHAPTER 154-THE BARGAIN Tony stood up with Collins and headed for the door, immediately his hands touched the door handle Mr Christian spoke again."5 billion dollars, do we have a deal Mr Tony Storm,"Mr Christian spoke again.Tony stops on his track!He doesn't know why but he felt deep in his heart that something was off about these people. Why will a company as big as Rongtai pharmaceutical company be asking for the cure and why will they want to offer such a price.Tony gradually turned back and faced Mr Richard and Mr Christian. The amount he just heard shook his composure. Why this company would be willing to offer such a price is beyond him."This is really serious, so you're saying that you're willing to pay 5 billion dollars for the cure, but to what end,"Tony said as he dipped his hands into his pocket."I'm in shock too, from what I read online, Rongtai pharmaceutical company is known for its high clinical results and they're achieved great milestones which even surpasses
CHAPTER 155THE OUTBURST "You didn't show me any proof that the virus was yours in the first place. You only told me that my cousin Henry Storm stole it from one of your labs. How do I know that you're not lying just to get your hands on the cure"Tony said with a smirk on his face.He had them where he wanted them, there was no proof showing that they were the real creator of the cure. How was he so gullible, he should have asked this immediately they told him that Henry was the one who stole the cure."Are you saying that we're lying to you or we're trying to deceive you. I already explained everything to you. We're from a reputable establishment, I do not need to lie to you for you to believe me,"Mr Richard said, anger oozing from his voice.How could Tony insult them like that, who does he think he is? Tony was too stubborn and it will not be good for him. He needs to contact the headquarters so they can think of another plan because Tony has been proving difficult and uncooperati
CHAPTER 156THE QUESTIONS "I can see that the money is the problem. Name your price Mr Tony Storm!" Mr Christian said his gaze intense as he focused on Tony."So I should name my price,"Tony said laughing, this people are really funny, more than he expected."Yes, name your price, you seem to be interested in the money after all, you should have stated that the money isn't enough and we would top the money for you,"Mr Christian said with confidence thinking they're already getting to Tony."Okay fine, let me consider a price, we do not need to fight or quarrel amongst ourselves. I didn't know that you guys have so much more to offer,"Tony said sarcastically as he took his seat yet again on the table. He wanted to just pretend like he was giving the money a thought but that wasn't his intention."I knew you were a man I could work with Mr Tony Storm, a man of your reputation should know the benefit you will get from working with Rongtai pharmaceutical company. One of the biggest resea
CHAPTER 157-DISAPPOINTED "You have my word my Tony that this cure will be used for the betterment of the world and not the opposite. I can promise you that both the poor and rich will be treated equally as regards getting the cure,"Mr Christian said, placing his hands on his chest to show Tony that he could trust him. "My last question, although very easy, might be difficult for you since your company has a lot of secrecy. Who really created the Luti-v virus!" Tony sat back and relaxed waiting for what they would say next, it was a tricky question which they had to consider carefully before they answer. A deep scowl appeared on Mr Christians face which he masked almost immediately but Tony took note of it. Why do they have a lot of things they're hiding? What is Rongtai pharmaceutical company all about, why are they going this far. "I don't understand Mr Tony, it was created in one of our affiliated labs,"Mr Richard said, looking from his partner Mr Christian to Tony. He was flab
CHAPTER 158-THE ASSIGNMENT "We offered the 10 billion dollars like you asked us to buy he refused, we even offered him a blank check to input the figure that he wants but he still refused to sell and left and he asked something else if we were the ones who really created the Luti-v virus!""What nonsense, why will he need to know that, he should've just accepted the money now that we're nice about it,"The boss said furious, he never expected the outcome of their plan to be futile."How did he get to know that we produced the cure? I remembered that I asked you to remove that information from the answers you were supposed to give,"the boss asked in rage. He wanted his people to just tell Tony that they wanted to improve on the drug.Working with them would also help the drug to gain widespread recognition in the market space and even in the black market. But why was Mr Tony Storm proving stubborn. Everyone likes money and the amount they offered was quite huge so why."We're very sorr
CHAPTER 159-PRESUMPTION "What do you think Collins, did you think I made the right decision of refusing them,"Tony asked as he walked side by side with Collins as they headed back to his car."I think you made the right choice, I believe that they're up to no good. It's better the virus and cure is in your hands than theirs, that's what I feel," Collins said as he patted his friend on his back."But why do you think they need the cure? I really want to know their motives and Henry is no longer here to explain to me,"Tony said with a line of worries very visible on his face. He needed answers and he needed it as quickly as possible."I think you should check through Henry's social media page, maybe you will find something. And if you could get across to Hannah to help you with some of Henry's belongings probably you will be able to find something,"Collins said as he rested his body on Tony's car."I think that's a good idea, immediately we get to the house, I will do just that and we
CHAPTER 160-THE SEARCH He stood for his seat and closed up his laptop. He was so jetlagged that he couldn't walk up to his room, so he just decided to sleep on the couch inside his office."Hello, sleepy head, I can't believe you slept inside your office,"Collins said as he walked towards the window blind and opened it, so that sunlight would enter inside the office.Tony groaned in his sleep as he gradually opened his eyes, he got up from his sleeping position and sat down."I have a throbbing headache,"Tony groaned as he rested his head on his hands. He looked at the wall clock and saw that it was past 11pm already. I hadn't realised that he would sleep that long into the morning."That's definitely as a result of you not eating anything for dinner and also overworking yourself,"Collins said sitting on the opposite sofa from Tony."My body has experienced a lot worse than this, so I'll definitely survive,"Tony got up from the couch as he sluggishly walked towards the door heading f
