The Hussain family’s Dragon Gate Group was backed by the Eight Extremities School.
Flynn improved the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill, but the Hussain family suffered heavy losses.
While Lilia was saving NourishNature Pharmaceuticals, she also needed to restrain the development of Energence Pharmaceuticals.
New helm master Maximo came to Niarak to help Lilia.
“Maximo is a Grandmaster, of course, you are not afraid, but it’s hard to guard against hidden arrows even for the fearless.”
“Besides, he has a good relationship with Mr. Powell. The outside world thinks God of War killed Mr. Powell, so they can’t temporarily connect it to you, but it’s a fact that you injured Frederick.”
“Maximo will definitely seek revenge for Frederick.”
“We should be prepared.”
Rose looked at Flynn and said.
“If he dares to cause trouble, I’ll deal with him, it’s as simple as that. What’s there to discuss?” Flynn shrugged, unconcerned.
Rose shook her head.
“The Eight Extremities School has already gotten involved.”
“This organization is too massive, with no shortage of desperados. They are ruthless, so it’s best not to provoke them easily.”
Flynn laughed. “Are you saying that if he slaps me, I should just take it?”
Rose said, “It’s better to avoid confrontation for now.”
“Confrontation?” Flynn scoffed. “Does Maximo, a Grandmaster, have the edge?”
“You focus on production and acquisitions and leave the rest to me!”
“The Eight Extremities School? I’ll crush them with one blow!”
Rose frowned slightly.
She knew that Flynn was a Great Grandmaster and could easily overpower a Grandmaster, but the Eight Extremities School had tens of thousands of members, including the divine-like Ronald and eighteen Grandmasters under him.
If Flynn were to cripple Maximo, the Eight Extremities School wouldn’t let it go easily, and Energence Pharmaceuticals would face unprecedented pressure.
Facing the Great Grandmaster Ronald and the eighteen Grandmasters, Flynn didn’t stand a chance.
Rose was very worried but had no solution.
She could only hope that Flynn would exercise restraint.
“The medicine for treating the side effects of Acebegron Clear Relief has been sent to Katrina.”
“I have a feeling that the Swanson’s Group is about to collapse. Arrange the clinical trials and start production as soon as possible!”
“You keep an eye on things these next few days. I have some personal matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
After Flynn finished speaking, he turned and left the office.
Rose saw Flynn’s response and had to put the matter of the Eight Extremities School aside for now. After signing a few documents, she went to the pharmaceutical research and development department.
Just after Flynn left Energence Pharmaceuticals, a red Ferrari stopped at the factory gate.
Layla got out of the car, glanced at the office building, and walked straight inside.
“Ms. Woods, sorry, but Ms. Sharp is in the research and development department. She asked you to wait for a while.”
Inside the president’s office, after Rose’s secretary finished the call with Rose, she warmly smiled at Layla.
Layla had a cold and proud expression as she sat on the sofa.
It was the first time the secretary was so close to Layla, and she felt excited and nervous.
Some people, as soon as they appeared, could use their aura to suffocate everyone around them.
Undoubtedly, Layla was such a person.
Just by sitting there without saying a word, without much expression, the secretary felt an overwhelming presence and an icy and proud aura.
“I understand. You can focus on your own work,” Layla said coldly when the secretary didn’t know what to do.
The secretary quickly smiled and said, “Okay! Then let me pour you a cup of tea!”
After saying that, she skillfully poured tea leaves from the tea canister and brewed a cup of tea for Layla, placing it in front of her.
After the secretary left, Layla stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.
Downstairs, employees were busy, forklifts were transporting bags of herbs into the workshop.
The entire factory was full of energy and thriving.
“Rose allocated twenty percent of the shares for the employees, the more they contribute, the more shares they receive.”
“Every year, they also receive ten percent of the profits as year-end bonuses.”
“This is not a small amount. She’s going to great lengths to increase cohesion and ensure efficient operations in the factory. She’s really going all out!”
Layla felt emotional.
Rose wasn’t a saint, she did all this just to unite the employees and maintain stability when the storm came.
Such an opponent was really difficult to deal with!
Layla’s eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.
Even if ants are united, they will still perish in the face of a violent storm.
All of Rose’s efforts will be in vain!
Time passed second by second, and half an hour had already gone by, but Rose had not appeared.
She was clearly ignoring me.
Layla frowned.
She was just as cold and proud as Rose, and she wouldn’t let such a trivial matter anger her. She calmly sat on the sofa, holding up her teacup.
As she took a sip of tea, Layla’s eyebrows slightly raised.
This tea… seems to be herbal medicine.
She could taste that most of the herbal ingredients had the effect of strengthening the bones and refreshing the mind.
At that moment, the office door opened, and Rose walked in.
“Ms. Sharp, you seem to be taking medicine despite being in good health.”
“It seems that we have been putting too much pressure on you recently. Please take care of yourself!”
Layla smiled lightly.
Rose furrowed her brows and looked at the teacup in front of Layla with indifference. She said, “Did you come here for something?”
“I want to ask you to delay the release of your Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill for two months,” Layla straightforwardly stated her request.
“And what are the conditions?” Rose raised an eyebrow and began playing with her pen in her right hand.
Layla leaned back on the sofa, crossing her legs, and said, “I heard that you’ve been aggressively acquiring pharmaceutical companies. I believe you have already acquired four small pharmaceutical companies.”
“If you agree to my request, Hussain’s Pharmaceutical is willing to sell its subsidiary, Angelgate Pharmaceuticals, to you for three billion.”
Rose’s expression slightly stiffened.
In the past ten years, the Three Alliances had merged five pharmaceutical companies owned by the Sharp’s Group. The Swanson’s Group had merged two, and the Woods’ Group had merged one.
Within Hussain’s Pharmaceutical’s Dragon Gate Group, there were two companies, including Angelgate Pharmaceuticals.
The current market value of Angelgate Pharmaceuticals was around eight billion.
Layla’s offer of three billion was quite low.
“Did Ms. Hussain send you as a negotiator?” Rose coldly laughed.
“However, it feels like Ms. Hussain is selling Angelgate at such a low price out of desperation.”
Rose sneered.
“This decision wasn’t made by Lilia. It was the decision of the Hussain family,” Layla calmly stated.
Rose, upon hearing this, wasn’t too surprised.
Lilia was acting unilaterally and had rejected everyone’s investment, resulting in a loss of billions of dollars in funding.
Even with Braiden’s help, who placed a large order for NourishNature Pharmaceuticals’ products, the loss of billions of dollars was a fact.
The impact couldn’t be immediately eliminated.
The stock price plummeted, and shareholders were filled with grievances. The other industries under the Dragon Gate Group needed to keep operating, and the remaining one billion wouldn’t be enough.
The loss was too significant, and even if Braiden wanted to help the Dragon Gate, he wouldn’t dare to invest billions of dollars into it.
After all, the Swanson’s Group had invested a massive amount in Acebegron Clear Relief, leaving them with no spare cash.
On the other hand, the Woods family had 20 billion in circulating funds.
But with the sharp drop in the Dragon Gate Group’s stock price, the overall market value had decreased by 30 billion. The hole was too big!
The Dragon Gate Group couldn’t be saved without 20 billion!
The Woods family couldn’t help.
To sum it up in one sentence:
If they didn’t quickly raise funds, the Dragon Gate Group would face the risk of a shutdown.
They could only temporarily bow down to Rose and exchange Angelgate Pharmaceuticals for two months to recover.
If Rose agreed, NourishNature Pharmaceuticals would fully produce the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill during these two months, allowing them to recoup a portion of the losses.
The stock price wouldn’t plummet as severely.
Lilia would definitely face criticism from shareholders and the family upon her return to Ipholn today. Her days wouldn’t be easy.
But Lilia was very proud and wouldn’t bow down to Rose.
This was a decision made by the upper echelons of the Dragon Gate Group.
Seeing Rose deep in thought, Layla asked, “Aren’t you trying to regain everything you have lost? Now, Angelgate is within your reach.”
“Do you want it?”
