Chapter 91
Upon discovering Gabriel's true identity, Harold was frozen in terror. He looked like a ghost, his eyes empty and lifeless. He knew he was completely doomed, with no one daring enough to save him."You get it now, right? I'll have you know, he used to be the Golden Dragon Man, and now he's the Golden Dragon Lord!""Golden Dragon Lord!" Harold shivered with fear, almost fainting.Wilbur commanded, "Get him out of here!"A few bodyguards stepped forward and hauled Harold into the car.Even with the truth laid bare, Harold knew he would spend the rest of his life in the Dark Prison. The only way out was to be carried out for cremation after death."Hold it! What do you think you're doing? Leave him here!"At that moment, a dashing young man stormed out, flanked by two female bodyguards, exuding an intimidating aura.At first, he wanted to stay out of it. But Harold was utterly useless, unable to fight back and about to be taken away. The young ma

She had quite a scare today, but it was a close call, and she returned safely.Claire grumbled, "It's all because of that walking disaster, Gabriel! If it weren't for his bad luck rubbing off on you, how would you have gotten caught?""Exactly! That useless scoundrel is always up to his usual shady antics!"Mia chimed in, "Sis, you really need to steer clear of him, or you'll get dragged into his mess sooner or later!"Evelyn explained, "Actually, this has nothing to do with him. Someone set him up on purpose.""How can it be unrelated? If he were innocent, why would he get caught?""Exactly! Out of so many people, why target him? It just shows his character is questionable!"The mother-daughter duo volleyed their disdain back and forth.Evelyn listened, a sense of helplessness washing over her.Claire shifted the conversation, praising someone else, "I tell you, Tyler is one in a million. As soon as he heard you were in trouble, he was o

While healing the sick and saving lives was second nature to him, leading was a whole different ball game."Actually, you don't need to do much. Just lend a hand occasionally. If you're really unwilling, just hold the title for now. Once I find someone suitable, I'll replace you," Emily said, seeing Gabriel's hesitation. She put on a pitiful expression, "If you don't step in, I'll be forced to watch as Vance runs Patel Pharma into the ground!"With the conversation reaching this point, Gabriel couldn't refuse. He nodded, "Alright, I'll give it a whirl.""I knew you'd help me!" Emily's face lit up like a thousand-watt bulb. "Come on, let's head back to my place and discuss the work details!"With a swift tug, she whisked Gabriel off to the car.......At the stroke of ten, within the opulent halls of Celestial Estates.Lily, along with Jessica and Alice, was entertaining two guests.One was a suave young man in sharp attire, the other a venerab

Emily's voice rang out with authority, "Gabriel is my lifesaver. If you dare to mess with him, don't expect me to play nice!"If he weren't her cousin, she'd have slapped him silly by now."Fine, fine!" Anthony's face darkened with displeasure. "I can overlook Ms. Foster's issue for now, but as for the position of Chief Pharmacist, he doesn't have what it takes!"This was the first step in seizing power, and he wasn't about to let it go easily.Emily shot back, "Whether he qualifies or not isn't for you to decide. That's my call!""I'm the chairwoman of Patel Group's Calonia branch, and it's not your place to meddle!"Anthony paused, then threatened, "Emily, everything you have comes from the family. If you misuse your power and harm the family's interests, don't blame me for reporting you to the family headquarters!"Emily remained unruffled, "Do as you please!""You two, stop arguing,"Alice interjected quickly, "Let's get back to busin

Anthony started to put pressure on Gabriel, "Hey, pretty face, I suggest you throw in the towel early. Once the poison is brewed, you won't even have a chance to regret it!"Gabriel, with a calm expression, replied, "Honestly, I have to hand it to you for your guts, handing your life over to someone else. Have you ever considered that if he loses, it's you who'll pay the price?"Anthony scoffed confidently, "That's rubbish! Mr. Hart's been mastering poisons for ages. You'll see soon enough!" Gabriel responded with a silent, knowing smile.In no time, the servants trickled back, arms laden with herbs.With the herbs in hand, the white-haired elder immediately got to work, his hands moving with a mesmerizing speed, like a master conductor leading an orchestra.Gabriel, meanwhile, lounged with the calm of a breeze drifting through the clouds, simply waiting.The white-haired elder glanced at Gabriel, then quickly selected a few herbs, turning his back to G

Anthony's breath came in ragged gasps as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring at Gabriel in disbelief. His voice was barely a whisper, "Even the Grand Alchemist figured out your main ingredients. How come it can't be neutralized?""Your antidote can indeed counteract several of my main ingredients."Gabriel's eyes danced with mischief as he replied, his tone as serene as a summer breeze, "But you overlooked one crucial element—licorice.""Licorice doesn’t react with purple loquat or lilies on its own, but together, they cancel each other out. Without them, the heartbreaker herb and dried toad remain potent.""Quit being so stubborn. Keep it up, and it’ll be the death of you. Just admit defeat." "So that's it."The elder's eyes widened with sudden realization, his face a mix of regret and embarrassment. How could he have missed such a simple detail?Then, his body trembled, and he stared at Gabriel
Chapter 97
Anthony's eyes glinted with a dangerous light. "Are you threatening me?"Gabriel replied with a cool, collected demeanor, "Don't put it that way. I'm just serving you a slice of your own pie.""Enough! This charade stops here!" Alice suddenly interjected, "Gabriel, hand over the antidote to Anthony immediately. If anything happens to him, you'll have hell to pay!"Gabriel stood firm, "A true man stands by his promise, Aunt. Since I've made a promise, I must see it through."Alice's face turned as cold as ice, "What? Are you determined to go against our family today?"She had expected Gabriel to back down, but his defiance caught her off guard."Mom, quit trying to intimidate everyone!" Emily chimed in, "When Anthony was bullying Gabriel, you didn't say a word. But now that Anthony's at a disadvantage, you jump in. Why is that?"Alice frowned, "Anthony is your cousin. Why are you siding with an outsider?""I stand for justice, not blood ties!"<

"You could put it that way," Yvette said, casting a glance at Gabriel and nodding. "But my research team and all the relevant data have been snatched away. Starting from scratch is incredibly difficult now."Lily huffed indignantly, "Ugh! That Mitchell guy is so sneaky, always up to some dirty tricks!"Gabriel asked again, "What kind of medicine is the Health Restoration Pill?"Yvette explained, "The Health Restoration Pill is a wellness medicine. It not only prolongs life but also enhances beauty. It's said to be an ancient royal secret, but due to the passage of time, parts of it are missing. We're trying our best to reconstruct it.""An ancient royal secret, huh?" Gabriel mused, stroking his chin. "If that's the case, I happen to know of a secret pill with similar effects to your Health Restoration Pill."Yvette perked up immediately, "Oh? What medicine?"Gabriel smiled slightly, "This medicine is called the Beauty Enhancement Pill. I came across it

"Daisy, calm down!" Claire hurriedly grabbed Daisy, offering a conciliatory smile, "It's just a million, no big deal. I'll cover it for you.""We're family, no need to get all worked up." Mia frowned, "Mom, why do you always spoil her? If you have money, just give it to me instead."Claire shot her younger daughter a look, "Daisy is my only niece. If she's in trouble, who else will help her if not me?"Dominic wasn't thrilled either, "Is this really how you help someone?""Zip it!" Claire snapped, glaring at him, "I don't need your money. Can't I use my own?"Dominic was stunned. Was this really his mother-in-law?She treated a relative better than him.Daisy immediately beamed, "Auntie, you're the best!"She'd pulled this trick before, and it always worked like magic."Of course, who else would I spoil if not you? Come on, let's go buy the Ganoderma." Claire grabbed Daisy's hand and marched into the Treasure Pharmacy.Mia was gettin

"The deal's sealed! Try selling it to anyone else, and I'll wreck your shop!""Alright, alright, it's yours!" The shop owner feigned heartbreak, but inside, she was over the moon. She never expected these two beauties to drive the price of her Ganoderma so high.Emily, still unsatisfied, protested, "Why her? I can offer ten million two hundred thousand!"The shop owner smiled apologetically, "It's not about the cash. In business, trust is everything. This young lady reserved it first, so by the rules, it should be hers."Daisy, looking as smug as if she'd won a battle, declared, "Hear that? Money can't buy everything. It's mine, and you can't snatch it away!"Behind her, Claire looked like she was about to cry, her heart was breaking. That was a million! Her life's savings were gone!Watching Daisy's arrogant face, Emily gritted her teeth but held back.Trying to keep her cool, she asked Daisy, "Miss, I really need that Ganoderma. Could you sell it
