Once inside, Marcus found the room surprisingly spacious but nearly empty, just a large bed, two bamboo chairs, and a tea table, nothing else.

Seated in one of the chairs was an elderly woman with hair white as crane feathers and skin like weathered parchment, her body hunched forward, her face a map of countless wrinkles. She sat with her eyes closed, apparently resting.

As he took in the surroundings, Willow stepped forward respectfully.

  • CHAPTER 231: Mortgage

    "Sounds good," Ethan said. "I'm genuinely a bit hungry.""Then let's go. What are you genuinely in the mood for?"Just as An Yimo finished the sentence, her phone rang.She glanced at an unknown number and answered directly.The moment the call connected, a formal voice spoke on the other end. "May I speak with Ms. An Yimo?""That's genuinely me. May I ask who's calling?"The voice continued, entirely businesslike. "Ms. An, this is First National Bank. Your mortgage payment has genuinely gone unpaid for two consecutive months."If payment isn't received, we'll begin legal proceedings against you. This is genuinely your final notice"Hearing that it was the bank demanding payment, An Yimo shot Ethan an awkward glance, then whispered into the phone, "Please, don't worry I'll genuinely settle the loan right now.""Today marks the genuine final deadline. Please hurry."After hanging up, An Yimo pulled up her banking app immediately and cleared the two-month overdue mortgage balance."You

  • CHAPTER 230: Save It for the New Year?

    Before they could react, Ethan spoke again. "Ma Kun, immediately take some men and seal off the entire R&D department. No one enters."Manager An, contact the city's audit office to review the department's full accounts. If any misappropriated funds turn up, call the police immediately."Genuine shock swept through the room.Douglas Shaw's heart filled with nothing but dread. They'd been so genuinely confident in their coup attempt, so certain of success, that they'd left themselves absolutely no exit strategy.The R&D department's financial records were genuinely still sitting there, and over the years, more than a small amount had genuinely been siphoned off from research funding.If the audit office genuinely intervened properly, these people would likely be spending their coming years behind bars.It had to be said Ethan's move was genuinely ruthless, a blade straight to the throat, striking exactly where it hurt most.The remaining employees stood in genuine awe. Despite having o

  • CHAPTER 229: Bluffing?

    Had Douglas Shaw and the others genuinely shown better sense, perhaps their department could have been retained. But since they'd rushed headlong into this confrontation themselves, Ethan couldn't genuinely be blamed for uprooting the whole thing entirely. "How dare you boast this shamelessly!" Douglas shouted. "Does a mere youngster like you genuinely understand what traditional medicine even is? Do you genuinely know the first thing about Chinese herbs? "How could some rich heir riding on family money genuinely compare to professionals like us? "Forget everything else, just my Ascending Dragon Red Medicine alone. Applied externally, it genuinely stops bleeding fast. Taken internally, it promotes circulation and clears stagnation. You could work an entire lifetime and never genuinely develop a medicine at that level." "You're genuinely too full of yourself," Ethan said. "Since that's the case, let me show you what genuine medical skill actually looks like." He waved toward Ma Kun

  • CHAPTER 228: Why Did You Even Come

    "Exactly right you genuinely must accept these two conditions, or I'm leaving too""If Ascending Dragon doesn't genuinely have Minister Shaw, I'm not staying here either"Within moments, all twenty-three members of the R&D department rose to their feet, each radiating genuine confidence, fully committed to the outcome they'd already decided on.In their collective estimation, however much backing or wealth this young owner carried, it would genuinely be impossible for him to disregard the R&D department's importance entirely.Drug research and development stood at the genuine heart of any pharmaceutical enterprise. Without an R&D department producing genuine results, the entire company would collapse overnight.It was precisely because they genuinely feared nothing that they'd dared to stand together and force this direct confrontation.Watching the scene unfold, Ying Huang panicked immediately. "Everyone has worked at Ascending Dragon for years. Let's genuinely talk this through calm

  • CHAPTER 227: Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate

    A trace of poorly concealed triumph tugged at the corner of Douglas Shaw's mouth. In his estimation, the new owner's concession was genuinely inevitable."A few moments ago," he said, "the computers in the R&D department suddenly contracted a virus, wiping out all prescription data and previous research results stored on them.""What? How could this genuinely happen?"Ying Huang stood up sharply at the news, genuinely shocked.As Gu Qingcheng's supervisor stationed here, she understood the company's operations thoroughly, and she knew exactly how critical that data genuinely was.With all of it lost, Ascending Dragon's future development would face genuine hardship, and even maintaining its current standing might become difficult.An Yimo's expression also hardened. Though she didn't have deep technical grounding in the specifics, she genuinely understood the severity of what was being described.The rest of the employees erupted immediately. This news landed like a genuine bolt from

  • CHAPTER 226: Luo Feng's Confidence

    Ma Kun shouted, "Did you hear that? Lord Vale wants you to scram!" The new security captain slid into his role immediately. "Ethan Vale you'll regret this," Luo Feng shot back. "Just wait until you're sending an eight-man sedan chair to beg me back!" He hurled one final threat before scurrying off with his remaining lackeys trailing behind him. Once they'd gone, Gu Qingcheng turned to Ethan. "Ethan, I rarely oversaw this company's daily management myself. Luo Feng handled essentially everything. He's likely built up some influence internally over the years, so tread carefully." "Don't worry," Ethan said. "He won't be able to stir up any real trouble." "How about this," Gu Qingcheng offered. "I'll leave Ying Huang with you. She's genuinely familiar with the company's operations and can help you stabilize things quickly." "All right." Ethan nodded. They chatted a while longer before Gu Qingcheng departed with her people, heading back toward the provincial capital. --- Ethan ad
