Chapter 117

  When Mr. Wangley laid his eyes on the small, white–

colored vial, his expression immediately turned into shock, but a look of

greed replaced it soon after. That was legendary Dr. Rowan Cross' Miracle

Cure! Why does a punk like him have such a treasure on him in the first

place? Anyone could see that this antidote was incredibly precious and

worth a lot of money! Even the tiniest amount of powder could already

fetch sky–high prices. It was no wonder that the punk could act so cocky,

and that was all because he was in possession of Hexanavir. Today shall

be the day of his downfall! "Hmph!" Quentin snorted and said nothing

before downing the whole cup of tea in one gulp. Almost immediately after

he gulped down the tea, the ongoing sharp pains in his stomach gradually

started to disappear. The pain completely disappeared a few minutes

later. This caused Quentin to feel like he'd just survived a huge ordeal.

"I won't forget the shame you inflicted on me today, Rhys! You had better

not fall into my clutches anymore in the future!" Quentin barked before

turning to Natasha Harmon. "And as for you, Natasha, you'd better solve

the crisis surrounding Eternumax soon. Else, don't blame me if I report

you to the board!" The moment he finished barking, Quentin left the room

in a haggard state. "You'll definitely regret everything you did today,

young man!" Mr. Wangley grunted before turning to chase after Quentin.

Did he know who Quentin was? How could a puny doctor like him humiliate

him like that? If ever he decided to seek revenge eventually, he bet that

his bones wouldn't be spared even after he was brutally murdered! "So you

came prepared, Dustin. You really scared me just now." Ruth heaved a sigh

of relief. "It was all thanks to the Hexanavir your sister sent me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have won so easily," Dustin let out a small

chuckle. But of course, the antidote merely made things slightly easier

for him. "Hmph! It was all a trick then!" Jessica snorted and looked at

Dustin in disdain. She initially thought that he'd used his skills for

this, but who knew that he had just utilized Hexanavir which was made by

the legendary Dr. Rowan Cross. "You can stay unconvinced as long as you

like, but the fact remains that Dustin won" Natasha argued with a CS

CamScanner Chapter 117 hard glare. "So what if he won by a fluke? What

makes you think this kid can research Eternumax without Mr. Wangley

here?" Jessica questioned. Eternumax was the heart and soul of Harmon

Pharmaceuticals for many years now and was an equally important part of

the family's development plans. This was why she refused to believe that

such an unknown figure like Dustin would have any ability to save the

day. "Who says? To me, Dustin is way more knowledgeable than whoever this

Wangley guy is." Natasha stood her ground firmly. "Fine, since you keep

insisting that he's the superior choice, then why don't we make a bet? If

he can develop Eternumax from scratch, I'll take it as he's passed the

test. Otherwise, I'll have him resign from his post immediately to make

way for the others!" Jessica roared, clearly enraged. "I have no qualms

with that," Natasha said, refusing to give way. Whether he would be able

to do it or not was a separate matter. She couldn't back down now. "Rhys,

you punk! You'd better not let my daughter down!" Jessica spat after

getting a clearer look at Dustin. She then folded up her sleeves and up

and left. "What did mom mean by 'test' just now?" Ruth asked, out of

curiosity. "Kids shouldn't butt into adult matters." Natasha rolled her

eyes at her in response. "Hmph! Well, I'm sorry for asking. Who died and

made you queen?" Ruth pouted. "You all keep mentioning Eternumax, but

what is it exactly. Ms. Harmon?" Dustin asked while feigning ignorance.

Natasha Harmon forced a smile and started explaining. "Although the

Harmons have a firm grip over many industries, the main focus is still

medicine. This was why the decision behind the selection of business

partners and benefit–sharing were all made in hopes of dominating the

pharmaceutical market of the entirety of Swinton. Thus, that was how we

began researching and developing a new kind of drug, which we plan to use

to capture all of that market share, "Everything was going to plan in the

beginning, but no one had expected that there would be a traitor who had

been planted among us. Thus, Tilda Snider's assassination presented an

opportunity to us, while serving as a warning to all traitors. But the

moment they realized that they were about to be exposed, they employed

methods of coercion and enticing benefits to lure our employees to other

companies instead, which was how they took away a big chunk of our

workforce. Not only that, they even stole our research findings! And the

research findings in question were for the new drug we're developing,

Eternumax!
