“A Great Grandmaster, and even higher… How is this possible?” Kendal Roy’s hands trembled slightly, disbelief filling her eyes.
Just as she couldn’t comprehend what was happening, the phone rang.
“Second in command, Stellan Wallace, the prodigy of the Wallace family, is visiting Niarak today. The entire city is buzzing with excitement. Everyone wants to witness the greatness of the Great Grandmaster.”
“Do you want to meet him?”
“Stellan Wallace?” Kendal Roy’s excitement surged upon hearing that name.
He was a member of a prestigious cultivation family!
Stellan Wallace was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius in cultivation, the strongest among the same generation of Great Grandmasters!
He surpassed even the Great Grandmasters who advanced by consuming body-refining drugs.
Three Apothecary Great Grandmasters combined couldn’t match up to Stellan Wallace’s power. He was truly extraordinary!
And he was not even thirty years old yet!
His future was limitless!
Rumor had it that his master was even more formidable.
They must establish a connection with such a big shot! They must!
“After I finish dealing with my current tasks, I will immediately return to the headquarters. Prepare everything and invite Stellan Wallace to our branch!”
…
Grand Health.
President’s office.
A benevolent-looking old man sat on the chair behind the desk. He appeared to be around sixty years old, with neatly combed gray hair and not a hint of disorderliness.
Despite his advanced age, his complexion had a healthy pink hue, giving him a radiant appearance. His clothes were immaculate, indicating his cleanliness.
He wore a smile on his face as he chatted with a man and a woman sitting on the opposite couch. However, a trace of worry could be seen in his eyes.
He was Jan Struff, the owner of Grand Health.
Originally on a business trip, he received news early in the morning about Georgina Holmes’ car accident.
Since the head of the research and development department at his company got into an accident, Jan Struff Jan Struff could only return to the office, planning to take care of some arrangements before heading to the hospital to check on his employee’s condition. He intended to offer fifty thousand in cash to the family, hoping it would provide some assistance during this difficult time.
However, two unexpected visitors arrived.
One was Daniel Norrie, a medicine supplier. He had a mustache and narrow eyes that sparkled with greed. His thin lips curved into a gentle smile, which he maintained throughout their conversation.
The other woman was Vivienne Osborn.
Her face was still swollen from Flynn’s slap, despite her thick layer of foundation. She leaned closely against Daniel Norrie, accompanying him with a gentle smile and an appearance of grace and courtesy.
After Bartholomew Quinn, Vivienne Osborn’s man, was disabled by Flynn, she immediately sought solace in Daniel Norrie’s arms.
Although Vivienne Osborn’s appearance was ordinary, she knew how to manipulate men’s desires.
Bartholomew Quinn lost his position as the general agent of Komatsu Conglomerate in Great Omica, and Daniel Norrie wanted to take his place.
Vivienne Osborn desired to move to Wakasa and find a man to marry urgently.
Both of them were lackeys of the people from Wakasa. Their alliance was not surprising.
Two days ago, Daniel Norrie failed to win over Georgina Holmes. He then contacted Elina Spencer, the deputy head of the research and development department at Grand Health.
Although Elina Spencer had thoughts of stealing the formula for Daniel Norrie, only the head of the R&D Department had access to it.
Vivienne Osborn came up with another plan-kill Georgina Holmes and promote Elina Spencer in her place.
Thus, they planned the car accident together.
Georgina Holmes’ current state could be attributed mostly to Vivienne Osborn’s actions.
“Mr. Norrie is here to discuss cooperation, right? Your company’s herbal prices are too high. We are very interested in collaborating with your company, but unfortunately…” Jan Struff politely smiled.
Although he hadn’t collaborated with Daniel Norrie before, they were both part of the same circle and he had some understanding of him.
Daniel Norrie smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Struff’s Nightshade Elixir works so well that you can easily raise its price. Then my medicine won’t seem expensive anymore.”
Vivienne Osborn also chimed in with praise, “I recovered from my illness thanks to Nightshade Elixir. Many of my friends are also taking it and all speak highly of it.”
“I believe if Mr. Struff doubles the price, it won’t affect sales.”
Jan Struff chuckled and said, “You flatter me too much. But the Struff family, where generations have been in the military, takes pride in serving the people. How can we raise drug prices?”
“Oh? A military family?” Daniel Norrie pretended to be surprised and showed an expression filled with respect as he sighed, “It is thanks to the sacrifices made by previous generations that we can enjoy peace now. Whenever I encounter a military family like yours, I can’t help but feel reverence!”
“Mr. Struff’s a man of the highest integrity. I must learn from you.”
Flattery was an excellent way to build rapport. Daniel Norrie understood this well and knew what kind of words would please others.
“Haha… Mr. Norrie knows how to speak.”
“But what you said is correct. We take pride in being a military family.”
“I spent twenty years in the army when I was young and received military medals. I am proud of it!” Jan Struff’s eyes would shine whenever he mentioned this matter, as if he had returned to his vigorous youth.
“Wow! Military medals! Mr. Struff is amazing!” Vivienne Osborn widened her eyes in awe and admiration.
But Jan Struff sighed lightly. “That’s nothing compared to my father. He was a captain of special forces and a hero in the Anti-Wakasan War. He personally eliminated over ten traitors and received praise from the general, who awarded him with a military medal himself.”
Hearing this, both Vivienne Osborn and Daniel Norrie involuntarily shrank their necks as they felt chills running down their spines.
“Unfortunately, my father fell into Wakasans’ hands in the end and suffered brutal torture until he died at less than thirty years old.”
“The Struff family has been enemies with Wakasa ever since!”
Vivienne Osborn smiled inwardly.
Brutal torture?
Served him right!
Why didn’t those Wakasan soldiers exterminate his entire family?
Daring to oppose the great Yamato Dynasty meant the Struff family deserved extinction!
The world should be ruled by Yamato Dynasty! All other races were inferior! Only the Wakasan people were noblest!
Daniel Norrie felt uncomfortable listening but didn’t want to continue this topic. He smiled gently and said, “Actually, I’m not here for cooperation this time.”
“I have an old friend whose sister works at Grand Health’s research and development department-Elina Spencer.”
“My friend passed away early and entrusted her care to me. She seems very happy at Grand Health.”
“She has also learned a lot from Ms. Holmes.”
“I wanted to come here just to express my gratitude for your guidance and then go thank Ms. Holmes at the research and development department.”
“Since her brother entrusted her care to me, I naturally have an obligation… Huh? Mr. Struff, what happened? Why do you look so pale?”
Jan Struff let out a heavy sigh and shook his head. “I appreciate Mr. Norrie’s intentions, but unfortunately, you’ve come at such an inappropriate time-Georgina Holmes had a car accident.”
“She is currently in the intensive care unit.”
“What?!” Daniel Norrie stood up, pretending to be shocked. Disbelief filled his voice. “Mr. Struff, what happened? She was perfectly fine before! She treated Elina so well. How did such a good person end up in a car accident?”
Jan Struff felt pained as he said, “I heard it was drowsy driving. I feel sorry for her.”
“I’ve been away on business all this time, and plus, there hasn’t been much going on at the company recently, so I haven’t spoken with her for a week… I never expected something like this would happen.”
Vivienne Osborn and Daniel Norrie exchanged glances without leaving any traces. Their hearts blossomed with joy.
It turned out that Georgina Holmes hadn’t yet informed Jan Struff about their attempts to buy her off!
With that, things would become easier!
