Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 421 - Bab 430

Jeanine looked horrified. "Are you saying someone deliberately invited that man to the trial? What should we do? Who could the saboteur be?""What we need to do right now is make sure that man is safe," I said, watching the doctor administer first aid. "We have to ensure he wakes up soon."I exhaled, the weight of my thoughts pressing down. "As for the saboteur… I've suspected for a while that we have a mole among us. How else could Astergrad's most elite family have known our every move and managed to sabotage us at every step?"I met Jeanine's eyes. "You're the only one I trust completely. You're the first person I've ruled out. Who do you think the traitor might be?"Jeanine blinked, startled by my question."I don't know, sir. Honestly, I can't tell," she said, shaking her head.Her confusion seemed genuine, which eased me a little. She didn't look away or panic. It couldn't be her. It had to be someone else."We need to find out who it is," I said. "Put our product launch o

"What happens if a case like that volunteer happens again? Either as a genuine case of allergy or other complications, or an act of sabotage?"I smiled with confidence. "Then we'll wait until the hospital's investigation confirms it's from us. I, for one, believe in our test results. There were more than a dozen volunteers, and yet only one such case so far. That man was an outlier, not the norm."In fact, if he was sent by the saboteur to cause a scene, then he's also the opening we need to strike back at our enemy."With that, I rose to my feet. I intended to visit that unconscious volunteer myself. Before leaving for the hospital, I ordered Jeanine to carry out the plan I had laid out earlier.-Half an hour later, I arrived at the hospital, only to find myself surrounded by a crowd of reporters and media personnel. They wasted no time pressing their microphones against my face, firing a barrage of loaded questions and accusations.I gave them all the same answer. "As long as

The lure of money sent the crowd into a frenzy. A full-blown buying spree erupted, and even the livestream viewers voiced their envy at not being able to try the drug themselves.[I've never seen a corporation with this much flair!][God, it's like a reality show. "TAKE MY MONEY!"][Why aren't I in Astergrad right now?! Dammit!]The host of the official livestream glanced at Jeanine, startled, but she only smiled and kept the event moving."Each person may purchase only one dose. One! Please form a line for a quick medical screening by our partnered doctors to confirm that you have the condition our medicine is designed to treat."These doctors and their affiliated institutions are the only ones vetted and approved by our professional team. Diagnoses from outside sources will not be accepted for this event. Thank you for your cooperation."Under Jeanine's direction and the supervision of a sizable security team, a long line of eager buyers formed.Those diagnosed with qualifyin

Half an hour passed. The crowd stayed quiet, except for the occasional murmur of surprise."Wait, are these people actors?""They've fallen asleep on the bench! Some of them are even snoring!""There's no way any actor would think this is good acting… which ironically means it has to be real! This is better than any sedative we've ever seen!"The crowd was baffled."Were they really insomniacs to begin with?""How the hell could they sleep soundly on the floor like that?"At the same time, those who had taken the Flametamers looked livelier than ever."No way. I feel completely revitalized! I think their drug is actually good!""My throat's been sore for a week, but now it feels like it was never sick at all!""This isn't medicine—it's goddamn magic! No side effects, and it works instantly!""Wait, really?"Many onlookers turned to their family members, half in awe and half in disbelief."Sweetie, this is incredible! You know my throat's been messed up from smoking, but li

"Doctor! This old man needs help! Something's wrong with him!" Jeanine shouted.The doctors rushed over, surrounding the old man as they began their examination.One of them, a cardiologist, looked up and announced, "He's having a heart attack!""How could that happen?" another doctor exclaimed. "We've checked the ingredients in both of Sleeping Giant's drugs, and neither contained any stimulant that could trigger a heart attack!"He sounded defensive, almost as if he were trying to protect the company—likely because Sebastian had hired him."Now's not the time for that, doctor. Let's get him stabilized first! I'll call an ambulance!" Jeanine replied, her voice edged with panic.'Oh no, it's as you said, Mr. Grimwald. This is bad. What if he doesn't survive? Not even 28,000 dollars could calm that kind of storm…' she thought. 'We have to make sure this man pulls through.'The cardiologist shook his head. "No need, ma'am. He already has his medication in his pocket. I suspect thi
