Chapter 41
As Edward's words fell, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became embarrassing.Eddie frowned tightly, showing extreme dissatisfaction with Edward's interruption into their conversation."Edward, Father York is well-respected in New Angelia, his judgment cannot be wrong." Steve quickly intervened.Edward looked at York seriously and said, "Father, I didn't mean to offend you, but Mr. Rhodes isn't the key to the problem."York asked displeased, "Who are you?""Father, this is Edward, my son's good friend," Eddie explained hastily."Whoever he is, he can't speak nonsense while I am dealing with your problem!" York said, somewhat annoyed.Edward shook his head, saying, "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm really serious."Seeing Edward's stubbornness, Eddie became somewhat displeased, but out of necessity, he still patiently advised, "Mr. Flamel, Father York is professional. I've witnessed his exorcism skills; he's an expert in that field."York, with a disdainful expression, provocatively

The crowd hurried over as they heard the words."Hurry, bring it up!" Eddie ordered in an urgent tone.The servants quickly lifted a wooden box out of the hole.Meanwhile, Priest York who had just entered the room also returned upon hearing the commotion."That's it!" Edward frowned, staring at the box, and said firmly."Open it!" Eddie immediately ordered a servant."Stop! I'll do that." Edward quickly waved his hand to stop him, fearing that there might be unknown danger when the box was opened, worried that ordinary people might lose their lives as a result.Edward dispersed the onlookers, and then slowly opened the box.Exactly, just as the box was opened, a black shadow of a skull flew out from inside and attacked Edward's face.Edward calmly uttered a immobilization spell, "Freeze!" and then the black skull was frozen in mid-air, only able to grimace at Edward."Evil power!" Edward muttered disdainfully, waving his right hand towards it, "Disperse!"Then, it dissipated like smok
Chapter 43
Mr. Rhodes, may I ask if there is something you want to discuss with me over dinner?" Edward asked curiously.Eddie glanced at his son, and then, after some consideration, Steve said, "Edward, to be honest, we need your help!""Under pressure from the Allen family, many partners unilaterally terminated contracts with us, and many projects of the Rhodes family have been forced to stop," he said."While these issues may not yet drive the Rhodes family into dire straits, I find the situation deteriorating continuously, and we are powerless to resist," Steve sighed.Edward couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Allen family; even the wealthiest in New Angelia were defenseless against them, let alone others. No wonder the people of the Allen family were so arrogant!After a moment of silence, Edward said, "Although I sympathize with the plight of the Rhodes family and despise the dirty tactics of the Allen family, it seems that I... can't help you.""No, you can!" Steve said firmly.

“Edward, wait...”Edward had just walked out of the Rhodes Family's gate when someone called him.He turned around, raising an eyebrow in slight surprise, "Steve?""Wait up, let me give you a ride back." Steve said with a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face.Edward knew Steve was interested in that partnership opportunity and found it amusing, so he didn't refuse his request.During the ride back, there was some silence between them.Steve broke the ice, but his speech was stuttering."Edward, I want... I want..."He still felt ashamed for his father rejecting Edward's proposal.Edward found it amusing since he didn't care about Eddie Rhodes turning down his offer. After all, he wouldn't be the one losing in the end!"I want to work with you!" Steve finally blurted out."Sure, I agree!" Edward readily accepted, without hesitation."It's okay, my father rejected you first anyway, and you didn't agree... What? You agreed! I didn't hear wrong, did I?" Steve first looked disappointed,
Chapter 45
When William heard David's words, he quickly nodded in agreement.William had previously approached Steve, seeking cooperation and aiming at the share of the profits.However, Steve not only rejected him but also had his bodyguards throw him out of the company.In a fit of anger, William informed David about this, hoping David would deal with Steve for him."Yeah, Steve doesn't deserve to keep such a good formula!" William exclaimed indignantly.David scoffed lightly, "I'll take some time to talk to him then, I believe he'll yield to me."His tone was filled with confidence.After all, the Rhodes family's real estate business was now in jeopardy under his offensive.Upon hearing this, William's eyes darted around, and then he pretended to frown, saying, "Sir, Steve values those energy pills more than his life. What if he doesn't agree to your order?""If he doesn't agree? Then he’ll go to hell!" David glanced at him, sneering coldly.The conspiracy succeeded, and William was instantly

David carefully observed the pill and finally confirmed that it was indeed identical to the one Edward had given him before."Eddie, finished reading? It's time to return it to me," Grant said cautiously, collecting the pill.Seeing Eddie's disappointed expression, Grant thought he was regretful and frustrated for missing out on buying the "energy pill," so he patted his shoulder and reassured him, "Eddie, don't worry. You can wait for the next batch of 'energy pills' to be sold. With your wealth, you can certainly afford more..."However, Eddie was shocked that what Edward had told him previously was actually true, and regretted giving up such a great opportunity to counter-attack the Allen family.How foolish he was!"Sir, do you know who is selling this medicine?" Eddie nervously asked, hoping to hear the answer he wanted.He remembered his son Steve mentioning an intention to collaborate with Edward.God bless Steve! (Amen)"No, I don't know. I haven't investigated this matter. Bu

Steve's face changed suddenly, realizing things were going south."Hmph, I do sell energy pills, but what's it to you," Steve said nervously.David sneered, "Give me the prescription, and I'll give you money." He tossed a bank card onto the table. "There's a million dollars in the account. That should be enough to buy it!"Without a word, William displayed an air of dominance. Steve was surprised at his price and retorted, "A million? Are you handing out alms? Not even this card can buy one pill!""Any difference between you and a beggar?" David sneered coldly.Convinced, Steve couldn't hold back. Glaring at David, he cursed, "You old bastard, don't push me too far!"David's expression turned cold. "You dare speak to me like that?"With a wave of his hand, several bodyguards stormed in and pinned Steve to the ground.Looking down at Steve, David arrogantly said, "Steve, here are your options: sell me the prescription for this million dollars, or use it to buy your life."Steve's face

Hardly finishing the dishes, Edward strolled through the estate, admiring the moonlit scenery with Jessica together.Smelling the faint fragrance from Jessica’s body, Edward's heart felt a tickle.He sneakily glanced at her profile, feeling as if his heart might leap out of his chest.Summoning courage, he cautiously reached out his hand, wanting to hold hers.At that moment, Jessica suddenly called him, "Edward."Startled, Edward trembled and quickly withdrew his hand. "Ah, what?" he asked.Looking at the moon, Jessica said, "Do you like this kind of life?"Edward was puzzled, "What do you mean by 'this kind of life'?"Jessica smiled, "Do you feel tired recently?"Edward thought for a moment, smiling wryly, "A bit, yes."Indeed, the recent life of him had been exhausting, with barely any time to rest.Jessica teased, "How about I support you? I mean would you mind relying on me?"Edward was taken aback. He shook his head, "Why do you suddenly say it? That’s so weird."Jessica replied

Since Steve released that news, the entire New Angelia has been spreading this event.The owner of the prescription for the “Energy Pill” is openly bidding!Apart from those pharmaceutical companies, even some powerful real estate companies are eager to intervene.Recently, William had been by David's side day and night, clearly like a loyal dog to serve him."Mr. Allen, what does Steve mean by doing this? Why auction off the prescription publicly?" William said as he poured coffee for David.David glanced at him and said calmly, "It must be the intention of the prescription holder. Talented people are always arrogant. It's so funny!"William nodded and then flattered, "Anyway, no one in New Angelia can refuse the Allen family."David said nothing, but his face was full of pride."As long as the Morgan family doesn't participate, who dares to compete with me?" David thought to himself.Time flied.Three days later, Steve's company's entrance was filled with luxury cars, and many wealt

Edward glanced at them coldly and said, "Idiot." With that, he strode into the conference hall with Robert in tow."Damn, how dare he insult me!" Susan exclaimed angrily.William sneered, "That bastard won't be arrogant for long."He then informed David of Edward's arrival.David smirked after hearing the news, "Can a pauper like him really get into this business? What a joke!""Yeah, I think so too!" William chimed in.Most of the merchants gathered around David.Aware of the conflict between Edward and the Shen family, none of them dared to approach Edward."Mr. Allen, the prescription of the pill must belong to none other than you.""That's right, sir, we're all willing to follow your lead!""When the time comes, our factory can subcontract for your company!"However, David seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed firmly on Edward.Thinking of his son, still lying in bed, David wished he could tear Edward to pieces.But recalling Edward's cunning methods before, he reluctantly suppressed h
