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!
