“Oh? Do you know Doctor Simmons?” The doctor asked curiously.Kenneth laughed delightedly. “Of course, and it’s more than an acquaintance! The famous doctor you mentioned is our family’s friend! Back then, when he was down and out, it was our family that helped him to rise again and achieve what he has now. I didn’t know that he stays in Aurous Hill now, that’s great!”He jumped up from the bed and urged Christopher, “Hurry, get me to Dr. Simmons’s clinic now!”After asking for the address of Anthony’s clinic, Christopher quickly drove Kenneth to Serene World Clinic.As soon as they arrived at the clinic’s entrance, Kenneth hopped off the car and dashed into the clinic anxiously when he saw a man that seemed to be a clinic staff pushing a young man with crutches out of the door.The young man limped miserably while pleading, “Sir, sir, please, I beg you! Please inform Dr. Simmons that I need his help. I’ll give him five million dollars if he can fix my legs!”The clinic staff sai
Penile necrosis?This was an extraordinarily tricky problem!There was no known effective way of treating this problem in both Chinese and Western medicine. If it was truly necrosis, it was essentially untreatable.Anthony hurriedly asked, “How did it happen? What did you do? Penile necrosis is a very rare disorder!”Kenneth didn’t want to talk about his embarrassing incident, so he mumbled, “I don’t know how, but it happened just like that. I went to the Silverwing Hospital to have it checked, and the doctor said that it was necrosis…”Then, he wailed and pleaded, “Uncle Simmons, please help me! Only you can help me now!”Anthony felt that the problem was trickier than he could handle. Even with his medical skills, the most he could do was stabilize the necrosis so that his penis didn’t wither, but it was impossible to cure the necrosis and restore its function…He sighed and said, “Kenneth, necrosis is universally known to be a tricky and difficult problem to solve. It is very
Anthony was extremely dumbfounded upon hearing Xyla’s remark! He asked, “What? Are you saying that Kenneth offended Master Wade?!”“Yes!” Xyla nodded profusely. “Moreover, I heard that it was quite an intense fight. He even flirted with Master Wade’s wife, saying that he would give her 10 million dollars just to spend a night with her!”Anthony’s face turned into a grimacing shade of red. He didn’t expect that Kenneth had offended Master Wade to such an extent! Who did Kenneth think he was anyway!His mind ran wild with angry remarks. ‘Master Wade has helped me with the generosity and kindness that I can never repay. What about you, Kenneth? Yes, your father helped me back in the days, but I have already repaid my debt to the Wilson family for being your family doctor for several decades! Besides, your father has already passed on. I no longer have any obligation toward your family. I can still lend a hand to help you by all means if you had simply injured yourself, but you picked
“Master? True dragon?” Kenneth blurted out in a shocked tone. “Uncle Simmons, is something wrong with your brain? How could you be deceived by that crook? He is not a master or a true dragon, he is just a useless live-in son-in-law... a moocher! The Wilson family that he is married to, they treat me like a king! They even gifted Wendy Wilson to me as my escort and companion. He is just a lowly ant compared to me!”Then, he continued in an indignant voice, “Uncle Simmons, do you honestly think that deadbeat loser is worth it for you to protect him with all costs and even cut ties with our family? Are you going to ignore the years of friendship between our families?”“B*stard!” Anthony’s face twisted into a resentful grimace. He picked up the medicine pestle on the table and slammed it into Kenneth’s head fiercely while cursing, “You and your blasphemous mouth! Get out of here right now!”Kenneth couldn’t manage to avoid him, and the pestle knocked his forehead with a great force, cau
Indeed, Kenneth wanted to kill Charlie right there and then.However, he realized that it was not wise to act impulsively—the mighty dragon was no match for the native serpent.He knew clearly that he was no match to Charlie right now.It seemed that Charlie was quite powerful and strong, meaning that he had to be skilled in martial arts and self-defense. It was very hard to go after a man who was knowledgeable and tenacious. He had to get someone who was on par or more powerful than Charlie to go against him, otherwise, it would all go down the drain!Still, the most important thing right now was to fix his impotence. He would be in living hell otherwise!Kenneth’s wrath toward Anthony started burning again upon this thought!The f*cking old coot! Clearly, he had a pill that could cure him, but he didn’t want to give it to him!In fact, he had even kicked him out of his clinic for that loser, Charlie! D*mn!Meanwhile, Christopher was worrying about Kenneth’s situation. If he
Serene World Clinic.Anthony was still huffing and puffing in annoyance.Two people had come to his clinic tonight asking for treatment, and they both had offended Master Wade!Jason Grant, the guy who had tried to show off before Master Wade at the hospital the other day that led him to an unfortunate ending—Don Albert threw him out of the window on the third floor and broke his leg. He even had the guts to come here to seek treatment!And then, there was Kenneth Wilson!The most hateful and shameless b*stard!He had nearly given that b*stard the magical elixir before learning about his beef with Master Wade!If he had really cured Kenneth, he would be biting the hand that fed him, wouldn’t he?!He turned to Xyla and sighed, “Oh my goodness, Xyla, luckily you got here in time, otherwise, I might have already given Kenneth the magical pill!”Xyla shuddered at the thought. “Grandpa, I heard that Master Wade was the reason why Kenneth is impotent!”“Oh, I see!” Anthony mesmeriz
Barbara gaped in utter shock and asked frantically, “What?! Anthony, what are you talking about? We’ve been friends for so many years, how could you cut ties with us just like that?”Anthony’s serious voice sounded, “Barbara, I am very grateful for Brother Wilson’s help. When I needed it the most, he was a friend indeed, and I’ve repaid the favors to your family for so many years without asking for anything in return. Gratitude and consideration are my principles, you know that, right?”“Of course!” Barbara answered. “But I don’t understand, why do you want to make a clean break with us all of a sudden? If it’s my mistake, tell me, I’ll correct it!”“No, Barbara, it’s not your fault. Actually, it’s your son, Kenneth.”“Kenneth?” Barbara said in surprise, “What about him? Did he offend you? But he’s in Aurous Hill right now!”“Yes. I’m in Aurous Hill too,” Anthony said earnestly, “And I saw Kenneth. To be honest, he didn’t do anything to me, but he offended my savior. The man is ve
Wendy no longer got any pocket money from Kenneth, nor did he mention anything about the rest of the investment anymore.From the looks of it, it seemed that she would get more monetary benefits from him only if she helped him regain his manhood quickly.Otherwise, Kenneth would unquestionably abandon her and the entire family.So far, the 10 million dollars that Kenneth provided was only enough to stabilize the current chaos in the Wilson Group. It was far from enough to bring the company back to its peak.Christopher stood beside Kenneth and said, “One pill at a time will do, it has a very powerful effect.”Kenneth nodded, then, he took out three pills and swallowed them.He grabbed Wendy’s hand and urged her, “Wendy, let’s go upstairs now.” He hoped that this medicine would work wonders.Wendy quickly nodded. She wrapped her arms around Kenneth’s and said coyly, “Dear, let’s go back to our room and try again.”Kenneth pulled Wendy back into the room. Then, they started the f
Hence, Mr. Bay sent a reply in under five minutes after Jacob sent his resignation letter.As Jacob tapped on it, he immediately saw Mr. Bay's reply: Mr. Wilson's resignation is a huge loss to the association. However, we should also respect his individual situation and opinion. As such, to discuss our direction forward, all vice-presidents are required to attend a meeting at 10am tomorrow to discuss this matter.Jacob was still perplexed as to why Mr. Bay would reply to his mail and even summon the other vice-presidents for a meeting, and when he had a closer look, he saw that Mr. Bay had forwarded his mail to everyone else.Seeing that, Jacob thought to himself that Mr. Bay could just stick to a discussion involving just Mr. Bay and the vice-presidents instead of the entire association.As such, he sent a voice message on WhatsApp: "Mr. Bay, did you make a mistake and forward my mail to everyone else?"Mr. Bay soon replied, "Everyone already knows about your situation, so there'
Mr. Bay was left pursing his lips awkwardly. "T-That's way too despicable, don't you think? I'm the one who asked him to write a resignation and give up his place as vice-president while I handle the other vice-presidents and resolve the entire matter internally. Everyone can take a step back from escalation, and it's a solution that could please everyone."If I take that resignation at face value, won't it be like a bank goading a client into taking a scam loan? Won't he hate me to the bone if he finds out I screwed him over?""What are you worried about?" Mrs. Bay shot back in annoyance. "Are you that scared of Jacob Wilson turning against you? Hell, my own sister hates me to the bone—but what did you think I told her? That I'm never lending her the money no matter how much she hates me!"What do you think would have happened if I were worried about her feelings and loaned her the money she asked for? She wouldn't have to use a single cent to get herself a new house! She would say
"Don Albert… is giving up on Jacob Wilson?!"Mr. Bay exclaimed in shock. "B-But he was so respectful toward Jacob just the other day when we had dinner at the Heaven Springs… He gave us the best private room and even offered his best wine, filling our glasses personally…"Mrs. Bay waved him off. "You've been stuck with the retirees of the Calligraphy and Painting Association for so long that you've lost your nose for danger! Just think about it—married couples who were just sharing a bed one night could pull a knife on their partner the very next day. And these are men with priorities we're talking about."Also, you should take into account that Zachary Evans is Don Albert's right-hand man, and Jacob somehow dragged him into a fraud scheme. So, do you think Don Albert would be happy with that?"And according to Zachary's public statement, all the money they got went straight into Jacob's pocket—and what does that mean? It means Zachary is an accessory to a crime—at worst, an accomp
"That would be me," Don Albert replied and asked in return, "And who are you? What's your business with me?"Mr. Bay quickly said, "Good evening, Don Albert. I'm Mr. Bay from the Calligraphy and Painting Association—we've met before.""Oh, Mr. Bay…" Don Albert did indeed recall who he was. "So, why have you called me?""I hope you don't mind—I had to ask a few friends to get your number…"Don Albert smiled as he already had a hunch that Mr. Bay was calling about Jacob. "I see. Just be straight with me now.""Okay, so here's the thing…" Mr. Bay promptly said, "Jacob and Zachary Evans really stirred some waves with what they did, and it's talked about a lot amongst the circles of antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill… But I wonder if you've heard?"Don Albert sighed. "Yes, I've heard. Go on."Mr. Bay obliged. "Well, to be honest, it wasn't just a big deal amongst the circles of antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill. Even the Calligraphy and Painting Association was affected. As you know
Having heard all of that, Julien promptly picked up his cup and chugged his drink, and he felt distinctly different as soon as the liquor touched his lips.While one would usually feel warm after drinking alcohol, like a thrilling burning sensation, this medicinal liquor was nourishing instead, almost as if every single one of Julien's sweat pores were revitalized.After all, it was the enhanced version of the Healing Pill, whose effect was more than double the prototype. That was why just a fifth was enough for Julien to feel two years younger.With the miraculous pill, he felt less tired, and sitting on the stool didn't hurt his rump or his hip.Even his sight was much sharper, his presbyopia clearing considerably.In short, his entire body had never felt this good!Even as he glanced at Raymond across the table, he could see that the other man's cheeks were flushed, and many of his wrinkles had smoothed over!It went without saying that Julien was envious as Raymond drank twi
Julien had made up his mind—Charlie had already dragged him into this anyway, and he certainly wouldn't stay as a slave who bemoaned his fate every day.He had boarded Charlie's ship, and the ship had sailed—he just had to come up with a plan so that he could stay on it without any problem.After all, the chances for him to become the next Rothschild head or how long he would get to live were banked entirely on Charlie's decision.If Charlie didn't want him as head, he just had to ask Helena to be his broker and sell some pills to old Harrison, and Julien would be forced to stay as the heir apparent to their empire until he expired.And since the decision was made, he must first show some sincerity by investing into Aurous Hill—it was the ideal way to bring in both capital and human resources.With Julien having indicated his position, Charlie smiled. "Aurous Hill is a land of wealth and prosperity. As a local, I keenly await your investment, Mr. Rothschild."Julien was worried f
Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as
Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an
Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f
