All Chapters of Goodbye, Saintess.: Chapter 441 - Chapter 450

In just five days, profits topped 20,000,000 dollars. By the seventh, we had shattered the hundred-million mark. And by the tenth day, Sleeping Giant's liquid assets had already surpassed those of most second-tier families in Astergrad, just half a step from first-tier status.But even the strongest tide eventually receded, especially in the pharmaceutical world. After ten days of relentless growth, our financial reports finally began to steady."I hereby announce that overtime is officially over! Everyone, you've worked hard these past couple of weeks! Starting today, you all get a full week of paid vacation, triple salary, and full bonuses!"I gathered the dozen or so core members of Sleeping Giant into my office to deliver the news myself. By now, each of them had risen to a senior position in their departments."Thank you, Mr. Grimwald!""I've been dying to take a trip abroad. Time to go wild!""Ever since I started working for Mr. Grimwald, spending money doesn't even make m

On one side stood her dearest friend. On the other, the man she could not help but care for.Astrid wanted to be happy for them—she truly did. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not bring herself to smile. The tender feeling that had just begun to bloom in her heart was something she had to bury deep, where no one could see it.'Sebastian, if only you had appeared in my life a little earlier. If I had met you first… Sebastian, I think I almost fell for you.' She sighed inwardly, helpless against the dull ache spreading through her chest.All she could do now was watch her best friend's happiness from afar and silently give her blessing.Meanwhile, Claire remained blissfully unaware. She sat across from Sebastian with a soft smile, eyes warm and gentle as she watched him eat.…Ten minutes later, I scraped the last bit of food from the lunchbox. Leaning back in my chair, I let out a satisfied burp. "Ahh, that hit the spot."Claire laughed. "Look at you. Do you even look

Even after shedding her heavy clothes, Metis was still overheated. Without a word, she walked to the large window beside my desk, pushed it open, and let the cool breeze wash over her."About half an hour to an hour," I said. "I sent you three formulae. Are all of them problematic?"A faint fragrance drifted in with the wind, catching my attention for a moment."No," she replied, shaking her head. "Two are fine. Only the one meant to nourish the spleen and lungs has an issue. That medicine won't show any problems in the short term. But for the effects to work, it has to be taken continuously for at least a week."Metis exhaled slowly, her tone somber. "Once the toxins build up, they'll cause serious damage."Then her voice softened. "But don't worry. The volunteers only took one dose. They'll be fine. I'll detox them myself."Relief washed over me. I let out a long breath I hadn't realized I was holding."Thank you. You really saved me this time," I said sincerely. "By the way,

In Enbarr, in an old mansion at the city center, a middle-aged man slammed a financial paper onto the table. His face darkened.The headline screamed: [Sleeping Giant Inc., Astergrad's New Rising Power]"Sebastian?" he murmured bitterly. "What are the odds? Another business prodigy, and the same surname, Grimwald."A hard glint flashed in his eyes."Men," he barked.At his command, several men in black uniforms materialized behind him like shadows. They were tall, lean, and exuded a lethal chill."Sir, your orders?" one of them asked."Go to Astergrad. Investigate the CEO of Sleeping Giant, Sebastian Grimwald. Find out whether he is that man's son." His voice dropped to a cold whisper. "If he is not, return and close the case. If he is, make him disappear."Two simple sentences sealed Sebastian's fate."Yes, sir," the black-clad men answered in flat, calm voices, as if human life meant nothing to them. Then their silhouettes dispersed like smoke.The middle-aged man sat alone

As I gazed up at the mountain road leading to the temple, a sudden thought struck me."This looks like the same Awakenist temple Hera used to visit all the time." My brow furrowed. "Could she be the one pulling the strings behind Luke?"Knowing that woman's venomous nature, it wouldn't have surprised me if she had sunk that low."But Edge Inc. was already investigated and shut down. All of Hera's assets were supposed to be seized by the court. How could she possibly have the means to come after me again?"I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, my thoughts circling as the car climbed the winding road.Even though I had been working nonstop these past few weeks, I had still found time to quietly dig into the scandal that nearly destroyed Sleeping Giant not long ago."Dan's handler… turned out to be Edmund," I muttered. "But where would he get that kind of power? Still, Edmund should be behind bars. There's no way he could've teamed up with Hera."My eyes narrowed. "Unless the
