When Jameson saw Charlie, he was very pleasantly surprised. At the same time, he felt very excited, almost as if he had grasped his final hope in a desperate situation.Charlie asked curiously, “Mr. Smith, why are you here?”Jameson subconsciously replied respectfully, “Mr. Wade, the FDA has several clinical projects in collaboration with the Fox Medical Technology Center. I came here today to complete some routine work...”After saying this, before Charlie could speak, he knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, “Mr. Wade, I have been hoping to meet you again for a long time, but I have never had the chance to do so. I have been to Aurous Hill a few times, but the people from the Apothecary Pharmaceutical and Don Albert were unable to connect me to you... Don Albert kept charging me several introduction fees, but he simply kept procrastinating without helping me run the errands...”Albert curled his lips behind Charlie and said, “You simply want to see Mr. Wade because
If it was Harry Potter written by JK Rowling, it might be very profitable, but it had no strategic value for the United States. Therefore, the White House would not be interested in this book, let alone any infringement on it.However, if other countries or companies discovered patents with strategic value, the White House would definitely be the first to find a way to get this patented technology. The magic of the Apothecary Restoration Pill was that the kind of cancer the patient had or the stage of cancer did not matter. Even if the cancer had metastasized all over the body or had caused an organ failure, a terminally ill patient who could die at any moment would still get better immediately as soon as they had taken this medicine!If this kind of medicine was used to make money, it would definitely attract money from all over the world. Regardless of whether it was the rich or poor, once they had cancer, they would probably try their best to hand over their life savings to Apot
Moreover, the Apothecary Restoration Pill had already made a name for Apothecary Pharmaceutical. Under such circumstances, the Apothecary Restoration Pill had already completed its mission successfully. When Jameson heard Charlie’s words, tears welled up in his eyes and he cried, “Mr. Wade, I heard that Apothecary Pharmaceutical provides free intensive treatment for terminally ill cancer patients with family difficulties in Oskia. I beg you to give my son a place in the program. My son, Jimmy, is really pitiful. I cannot bear to see him continue suffering from cancer...”Charlie said with a serious expression, “You said it yourself. Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s free medical care is for terminally ill patients with family difficulties. The primary condition is family difficulties. At this point, it seems that neither you nor your son meets the criteria. What’s more, strictly speaking, this activity is only for Oskian patients. Countless Oskian patients cannot even get this opportunity
Jameson was a little overwhelmed and at a loss when he heard Charlie’s words. He was the head of the entire FDA. He was not only a proper upper-class person in the United States, but he was also from an absolute high elite group.Yet, Charlie’s light-hearted words were to ask him to resign from his current job and give up everything that he had worked so hard for. This was indeed unexpected. When Charlie saw that Jameson seemed to be at a loss, he said lightly, “This is just my personal opinion. You can go back and think about it slowly. I still have something to do, so I won’t continue talking to you anymore.”After saying that, he looked at Kathleen, who was next to him, and said, “Let’s go, Miss Fox.”Kathleen nodded and then made an inviting gesture as she said respectfully, “This way please, Mr. Wade.”Jameson watched Charlie and Kathleen walk into the elevator, and he watched the elevator doors close slowly as he continued kneeling on the spot without moving.His compani
Meanwhile, Charlie was led by Kathleen to take the elevator to the first floor of the building, and they then passed the three defense centers on the first floor before taking a special elevator to the freezing center on the fifth floor underground.Since Jordan had prepared this freezing center to preserve his own body and the freezing center was designed to last for three hundred years, the security here was no less than the defense facility for the president to hide in the doomsday plan.Although the freezing center was nearly a hundred meters deep underground, there was a complete strategic reserve here. Even if the United States was truly hit by a nuclear attack, this place would still be safe and sound. According to the design scale, this freezing center could freeze at least a hundred bodies. However, at present, aside from experimental remains, only Merlin was actually being frozen here.After Charlie had arrived at the freezing center, he found that this place was like a
Charlie naturally knew Merlin’s style of action.As long as he were to wake up again and retain his previous memories, he would definitely try his best to investigate what had happened prior to his death.For example, who had actually killed Homer, that scum from the Fox family, and who had actually wanted to exterminate the entire Acker family. Therefore, in Charlie’s opinion, he might as well take this opportunity to have a good chat with Merlin.He would let Merlin know who he was, reveal that he was the one who had killed Homer, and also make sure that Merlin knew that he was the one who had saved him and the entire Acker family. If this person knew better and knew when to advance or retreat, Charlie would definitely be able to use him in the future.If this person did not know any better and did not know when to advance or retreat, Charlie would simply erase his memory, knock him unconscious, and throw him into the streets of New York.In that case, at least his life had
It was just that none of these staff members thought that they would have to use this simple and brutal way to thaw Merlin now.Since Merlin’s body was like an ice lump that was at minus two hundred degrees, the warm water in the pool cooled down extremely quickly the moment his body entered the water. The staff quickly turned on the circulation pump and let the heating device circulate and heat the water in the pool to maintain the water temperature at forty degrees Celsius. This rough thawing method quickly showed great disadvantagesAs soon as Merlin’s skin began to thaw, it began oozing blood immediately, just like a piece of beef that had just been thawed. The fluid in the cells began to ooze out blood mixed with cell fluids and body fluids due to the rupture of the cells.The person in charge covered his face in horror and spoke up as he said, “Miss Fox, this... this is basically irreversible damage...”Kathleen was also shocked, but she still said calmly, “Okay, there’s no
The moment the Regenerating Pill was put into Merlin’s mouth, Charlie could feel that Merlin’s body was wrapped in dense and strong Reiki. After that, the Reiki began reshaping his body.Although Merlin’s body was wrapped in a special freezing suit and the changes in the freezing suit could not be seen at all, Charlie could feel that Merlin’s body, which was riddled with holes, was rapidly reorganizing itself at an unbelievable speed.Merlin’s first organ to recover was his heart. His heart which was almost shattered had fully recovered at this time and had begun beating again.However, at this time, there was no blood in the blood vessels in his body, and all his blood had been replaced by cryoprotective fluid.Under the effect of the Regenerating Pill, the hematopoietic organs in his body gradually began to recover one after the other. This was followed by a large amount of fresh blood being produced continuously, and the original cryoprotective fluids were directly expelled fr
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
