Chapter 238 Ancient Prescription Worth Billions

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2024-6-4

“Mrs. Kaur, this is the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill. Take it to the pharmacy and boil it. He needs to take it for seven days, and his blood stasis and depression will be cured!” Flynn handed Paulina the prescription with a serious expression.
“An ancient formula?” Paulina clearly didn’t believe him and didn’t even take it from him. She sneered, “I can’t accept your prescription. I don’t even know where you copied it from online. What if Matteo dies after taking it?”
“If you care about him, don’t mess around with your half-baked medical skills.”
If someone else had given her an ancient formula, she might have accepted it with some hesitation, but this was Flynn’s unreliable gift. How could he possibly have an ancient formula?
Weren’t ancient formulas extremely precious?
The Dragon Bone Pill was said to be a semi-ancient formula that turned the Sharp family from a second-tier aristocratic family into Niarak’s number one aristocratic family in just over ten years.
It took three families, Swanson, Woods and Hussain, ten years to bankrupt the Sharp’s Group.
This showed how powerful ancient formulas were; they could cause rivers of blood when spread around; they could turn Niarak upside down!
“You’re carrying this thing around everywhere like toilet paper? You’re making it all wrinkled up!”
Madeline also reacted after being shocked.
Ancient formulas were as precious as heirlooms that could revive a family; getting hold of one was almost impossible.
Flynn had more than ten of them in his hands? How was that possible?
It must be War God who gave Flynn the Bone-Healing Powder recipe to help Rose out; this guy wanted to use this recipe for fame before tricking wealthy people into buying some other folk remedies later on.
Folk remedies may work somewhat well too but they paled in comparison with traditional medical recipes.
If patients did not get better after taking them, he would find other excuses elsewhere just like what happened with the Wong family earlier today where he brought up mysterious geomancy theories!
Matteo also did not fully believe Flynn’s words but did not want to embarrass him either so he said to Paulina, “This is Flynn’s heartfelt gift. Why don’t you accept it?”
Paulina didn’t want any more nonsense from Flynn so she casually took the antique pill recipe and stuffed it into her pocket without realizing its true value, at least worth billions!
It could revive a pharmaceutical company on the brink of bankruptcy creating hundreds of billions in profits! With such an asset under their belt, the Kaur’s Group could enjoy lifelong dividends without lifting a finger!
Meanwhile Scarlet had already arrived at Fortune Co., one of Niarak’s largest decoration companies specializing in advertising campaigns as well as wall painting and interior design projects.
It had deep cooperation with many luxury homes and high-end properties with Niarak. The boss, Wesley Graham, used to be a decorator years ago but he got lucky. He had a sturdy build and decent looks, and he married a powerful wife who helped him develop step by step to where he was now.
However, Wesley’s wife was extremely ugly in appearance, had a fierce personality and an explosive temper. She stood at only 1. 6 meters tall but weighed up to two hundred pounds and was particularly sloppy with a constant odor emanating from her body.
Scarlet had arranged to meet Wesley before arriving at the office building where he was already waiting outside when she arrived. Upon seeing her approach, Wesley immediately put on an enthusiastic smile and stepped forward extending his hand, “Oh my goodness! Miss Wong, you’re one of my biggest clients! I am honored to welcome you!”
Scarlet politely shook his hand while smiling, “Mr. Graham, you’re too kind.”
As she tried to pull her hand back after shaking hands with him, Scarlet realized that not only did Wesley not let go of her hand but also began rubbing it while scanning her entire body with squinted eyes that were already mesmerized by what he saw.
Scarlet frowned fiercely as she pulled away from him forcefully asking, “Mr. Graham, what do you mean by this?”
Wesley was taken aback for a moment then rubbed his forehead before quickly bowing down saying, “Oh dear! I’m so sorry! Your beauty leaves everyone speechless!”
“I myself was caught off guard which led me into offending you unintentionally. I apologize deeply for it.”
Yesterday one of his subordinates reported that the new decoration project they took on wasn’t quite satisfactory for their client who wanted them to change the style. However, Wesley didn’t pay much attention since he planned on leaving it all up to his subordinates.
But when he saw Scarlet’s photo as Orco Real Estate’s responsible person in charge of the project yesterday evening, he was stunned!
Having lived half his life without ever seeing such a stunning beauty before, even though it was just an ID-sized passport photo, it couldn’t hide Scarlet’s heavenly face along with her bright smile.
One can only imagine how breathtakingly beautiful she must be in person!
He decided right then and there that he would personally receive Scarlet himself just so that he could enjoy looking at such a beauty firsthand.
Today upon meeting Scarlet finally face-to-face made him feel overwhelmed causing even breathing difficulties for him!
Scarlet came directly from the exhibition hall wearing the same sexy outfit as before; flawless looks coupled with an explosive figure!
The roundness of those breasts propped up against pure white shirt alone were enough reason why anyone would find themselves captivated by them…
Underneath those sky blue denim shorts lay long straight legs wrapped around sheer black stockings barely visible under its thin layer… simply exquisite!
Seeing how straightforwardly polite Wesley seemed made Scarlet feel somewhat relieved albeit slightly cautious still…
“Miss Wong, please have a seat!” Wesley led Scarlet into his office and invited her to sit on the sofa.
He then sat down on the opposite office chair, seemingly casual but intentionally glancing at Scarlet’s denim skirt, hoping to catch a glimpse of something more revealing.
However, Scarlet was quite reserved and kept her legs tightly together with her hands resting on top. Wesley couldn’t help but feel disappointed as he chuckled and said, “Miss Wong, you’re so beautiful and wealthy! You must have quite a circle of friends if you know Marcel!”
“If any of your friends need renovation services in the future, I hope you can recommend us.”
Scarlet replied politely, “But you misunderstood me. I only work for Orco Real Estate as a manager.”
“Oh? But it says here that you’re in charge of Orco Real Estate,” Wesley pointed out while looking at the business card with Scarlet’s name on it.
“I’m just one of their managers,” Scarlet smiled before getting straight to the point. “Mr. Graham, I believe you already know why I’m here.”
“Our boss asked Mr. Hill to help us contact your company for renovation services,” she continued explaining while taking out some decoration samples from her bag and placing them gently in front of Wesley.
“Although Mr. Hill recommended an extravagant style for our renovations project, it’s too dark for our taste; we want something brighter.
She handed over several samples depicting different areas such as offices spaces or even restrooms.
“You can instruct your team to follow these designs instead.”
“Oh really?” Wesley listened attentively before replying with a grin, “Since you’re straightforward about what you want, let me be honest too. We can make changes if necessary.”
“But we’ve already purchased materials worth over $1 million dollars since it was top-notch quality.”
“So does that mean after changing styles there will be an additional cost?” Scarlet asked hesitantly.
Wesley nodded his head while smiling, “We’ve already bought these materials. If they aren’t used, then they’ll just go to waste which would be unfortunate! So yes, this money needs settling too!”
Scarlet felt a bit frustrated but also expressed understanding. After all, Wesley had spent real money. She took out her phone with a smile and said, “Mr. Graham, I’m really sorry, but one million is too much. Please wait a moment; I’ll call and ask the boss.”
Wesley, seeing Scarlet about to make a call, quickly said, “Oh! Miss Wong, don’t be in such a hurry! I haven’t finished yet. This matter can be discussed!”
“As a manager, shouldn’t you be able to handle things without always relying on the boss?”
“Wait a minute, let me make some tea and we can talk it out.”
With that, he turned and left the office.
He returned shortly after with a bag of tea leaves in hand.
Without saying a word, he locked the office door and sat down in front of Scarlet, blocking her view with the desk.
As he put tea leaves into the pot, he pulled out a few pills from his pocket and dropped them in.
