"It's going pretty well," Theresa said, laughing wryly.When she had returned to Draepolis a few months ago, she had been planning on marrying the fiancé her family had chosen for her. However, he had gotten into a car accident the day before the wedding.Three heavy trucks had crashed into her fiancé on the highway, crushing him completely and killing him on the spot.Due to the unexpected accident, the marriage alliance with the Livingtons had been called off, and Theresa had stayed in Draepolis and joined the research team set up by the Ballards.She hadn't expected it, but it had been exactly what she wanted. "I've got some good news. We can meet up in Draepolis very soon," Whitney said happily."Oh? Are you saying that Frostwave Corporation is expanding here?" Theresa asked, surprised. As far as she knew, Frostwave Corporation was just a small company with assets of only 400 to 500 million. Every inch of real estate in Draepolis cost a fortune. Even renting an office buil
The truth was, Theresa's actions and the fervent look in her eyes had touched Sebastian.Although she had been unfair to Whitney before, she was still a capable doctor and a good researcher who truly put her heart into her work, without any personal agendas. Otherwise, Sebastian wouldn't have revealed any information about the Life Prolonging Pill to her. "Alright. If you really can produce the pill formula for the Life Prolonging Pill within five days, I'll help you clear things up with Whitney—"But Sebastian waved her off and shook his head. "I told you, that's all in the past. I don't need you to explain anything."Theresa was caught off guard. She looked at Sebastian in surprise. Did he really no longer have any feelings for Whitney?"How about this? If I complete the formula in five days, you'll be in charge of finding distributor channels in Yarroland. Sounds good?" Sebastian asked. After all, Theresa's mentor was from Yarroland and was highly respected in the medical
"I've never even heard of anyone using this Life Prolonging Pill you mentioned and living to the ripe old age of 200 years old! There's no mention of it in history!"Theresa wasn't being unreasonable. According to the academic reports of Haymitch and the others, they would be able to increase human lifespans from a couple of decades to 200 years, as long as they managed the crucial step of cell reactivation.It was exciting to think of how someone could return to their youth at the age of 70 or 80 and live for another 100 years."That's because you're just too ignorant. It's like the Goldcrow pill. If this pill hadn't already been launched, who would believe that it existed?"Sebastian's statement rendered everyone there speechless. It was true that the Goldcrow pill had created miracles. Even if there were some regrettable aspects in using it, it was still far better than chemically made modern medicines!"Sebastian, I have to admit that the Goldcrow pill was a miracle, but you
Sebastian chuckled. "Of course I know what I'm doing. I also know that the project you're researching is a complete waste of time. It's worthless."If Sebastian had said that he was firing them in his capacity as the owner of the company, they wouldn't have been able to say anything against it. After all, it was Sebastian's company!However, saying that the research they had done for several years was worthless was an insult to their professionalism."Don't you think that's a little subjective? Do you understand genetic engineering? Do you know what cell activation is?" a middle-aged woman asked accusingly as she stood up.She was about 36 or 37 years old."As the CEO of this company, you have the right to fire us, and we wouldn't say a word against you. However, you cannot belittle our research!" a middle-aged man in his 40s chimed in and stood up indignantly as well.Sebastian snorted. "Genes? Cells? Research? I can't be bothered to talk about this nonsense with you anymore. Yo
The research team looked at Sebastian in shock. How could he be the CEO of the company? Wasn't the real owner of the company Roland, the second son of the Draepolis Ballards? When had it changed hands?Theresa was stunned by what Sebastian had said. She was frozen for several seconds before she looked at the transfer agreement that Sebastian had tossed over to her.When she scanned it, Theresa turned as pale as a sheet.Roland and Sebastian's names were written very clearly on the transfer agreement. Everything that Sebastian had said was true!"Well? There's nothing wrong with that transfer agreement, is there?" Sebastian asked, smiling. When Haymitch saw how confident Sebastian was, he looked nervously at Theresa and asked, "Theresa, it's a fake document, right?"He was the most nervous among them. After all, he had been working for the Ballards ever since he graduated. He had put all his efforts into the cell activation that they were currently working on.If the research
Sebastian had just interrupted Theresa's research meeting!Theresa looked displeased as she got up and said, "Sebastian, can't you see that we're in the middle of a meeting? No matter how important it is, please leave at once. We can talk when my meeting is over!"She assumed that Whitney had told Sebastian where she worked and that Whitney had come across some technical difficulties. Even so, he should have waited until her meeting was over.They were now at a critical stage in the development of the new medicine. Even if Whitney was her best friend, she couldn't disrupt the progress of her research."What if I told you that this research team must be dismissed immediately?" Sebastian asked, smiling.He wasn't speaking loudly, but the entire room heard him clearly."What are you talking about? Do you know which company this research team belongs to? How could you be so arrogant and say that you're going to dismiss the entire research team!" a middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glass
Andreas and Sebastian exchanged looks and burst into laughter."If we met a real mystic arts expert, I'm afraid…"Sebastian stopped laughing and looked sternly at Andreas, who waved a hand and stood up.He said, "As long as it's not someone from the Holy Grandia, I don't think there's anyone in Dramon who can stand against me."Besides, you've seen our family's Divine Fire charm. However, if you do run into a top expert in three days, the most I can do is handle two people at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm. "Andreas turned an equally serious look on Sebastian. He was hinting at Sebastian to summon Unus or Duo over to Draepolis, as they were both excellent soul servants. Even if they only had one expert at the Soul Awakening stage, it would be enough to stabilize their position.Sebastian understood what Andreas meant. That night, he called Nina and told her to instruct Duo to head to Draepolis at once.Although he wasn't afraid of the Yeomans, it was still better to be
The Longlife Pill was based on traditional medicine concepts, which were completely different from the chemical particles of modern medicine. Besides, traditional medicine couldn't use chemical particles to differentiate the pharmacology and efficacy of its medicines. The ancient formulae recorded in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals hadn't needed to be verified by the technology of modern medicine, either. That was why Sebastian wasn't impressed by the research team at all.However, the Drakeverse Tower, where the research team was based, was in a prime location. Rosalie could relocate the headquarters of Arctic Snow Group there.As for the research team, they could be dismissed immediately."Yes, I think the Drakeverse Tower is in a great location," Rosalie said. "If you think that the research team won't be of much use, then let's go ahead and move the headquarters there.""Alright. I'll head to the Drakeverse Tower early tomorrow morning and dismiss the research team. You can
Sebastian frowned. "When will Mr. Yeoman Senior be back?""Probably in about two days," Clarence replied seriously. "There's been some issues with the Yeomans' business in the southwest, so Mr. Yeoman Senior went over personally to deal with the trouble."Upon hearing that Dudley wasn't at the estate, Sebastian glanced at Andreas before saying to Clarence, "Please notify Mr. Yeoman Senior and let him know that I will visit again in three days."He then gave Calix a long look before turning and leaving with Andreas.Calix clenched his jaw hard as he watched them go. Clive was dead, and Clarence was severely injured. How was he supposed to explain that to Dudley when he returned?"Forget it, Mr. Yeoman," Clarence said. "Stop looking at them. You'll never get your revenge."He slumped to the ground, panting heavily.Andreas' Thunder Charm had been merciful, but Clarence had still suffered severe internal injuries. He was also extremely weak, and he couldn't even stand for too long.
