Gaston felt the pain all over his body, especially his foot. Groaning, he forced his eyes open only to see nothing but pitch of darkness.

“Ugh! Ugh!” he coughed after inhaling the dusty air.

He turned around, adjusting in the dark. He tried to move but his foot ached so he stayed on his seat. Groping around he touched the cold rock and cement. Behind him, there was a metallic smooth object.

Amidst the dark, Gaston focused on finding the man whom he last saw before losing his consciousness.

“Griffti! Are you there?!”

His voice only echoed. No one answered his call.

He opened his mouth again and shouted, “Hey! Griffti! Grif.. Ugh!”

The dust went inside his mouth and his throat felt so dry and itchy. Still, he desperately call for the Chairman’s grandson even though he felt like blood would come out from his mouth.

“Griffti!”

“Damn. You are so noisy.”

Gaston ceased when he finally heard someone reply to him. He sighed in relief.

Thanks to Dr. Yuhana’s research and the cure that Hamington and Hopkin’s Medical Research Corporation revealed. “Dr. Yuhana is there!” “Quick!” When Yuhana walked out of the Medical Research building, many reporters waited for her outside. They were all eager to get an interview to the doctor who invented the medicine that saved millions of people around the glove. Wearing her white doctor’s gown, Yuhana looked at the reporters, which were blocked but the Corporation’s guards. “Dr. Yuhana! How did you come up with the medicine?” “It is true that you and the two corporation foresaw the virus and created the cure before it appeared?” “You created the medicine against a deadly virus within a year! Any thoughts?” “Dr. Yuhana, please answer the question?!” Smiling, Yuhana opened her lips, and everyone shut th

    A deadly virus from an animal affected of SARS and MERS will kill million of people starting from December of 2022. Dr. Yuhan, who heard it, could hardly believe what she just heard. “He’s insane. It is impossible to guess a virus that hasn’t arrived yet,” she mumbled before she heard a kid groaning in pain. Yuhan quickly moved up and examined the kid. "Tumbo lako vipi?" (How's your stomach?) she asked to a kid who showed symptoms of the Waterborne disease. "Inauma," (It hurts) he said while pressing his stomach. The only treatment for this is drinking plenty of safe water, rest, and take over-the-counter diarrheal medication. But... "Una maji, daktari?" (do you have some water, doctor?) he asked with teary eyes. ‘What should I do? I didn't get any today,’ Yuhana worried. "Where should I get some water?" she murmured as she tied her hair up. "Excuse me," a voice called her. When she tilted his head, she saw Gaston. "Do you need some help?" Since the day Gaston came there,

    With approximately 30.37 million km2 area, Gaston arrived at the second largest continent in the world – Africa. Gaston saw the breathtaking natural landscapes, rich cultural diversity, and wildlife safaris. Although he was amazed at the country’s beauty, he was aware that he didn’t come here just to take a vacation. Upon his research, Dr. Yuhan was sent to Democratic Republic of the Congo, Maneima to do a research about the waterborne disease around the town. Enduring the very hot weather, Gaston went to the Maneima to find the doctor. He didn’t take his guards with him, as he doesn’t want to appear like a super rich person. Instead, he only too Secretary Lanceil with him. “Are we there yet?” Secretary Lanceil asked to Gaston. Gaston looked back and saw his secretary catching his breath. He wanted to laugh at him. “That’s why I told you that you didn’t need to come with me,” Gaston said while walking. “How can I do that, Sir? You are my boss,” Lanceil answered. Not long after

Gaston cannot stop a virus from spreading. But he found out a way to minimize the casualties it would result. And also, things to do to maintain the economy growth of the world. That was the reason why he offered Griffti to run a huge Medical project with him before November ends. ‘With Hamington’s construction’s ability, it is possible,’ Griffti thought. “But I don’t know why he suddenly thought of that,” he added. Gaston helped him and the Hopkins to grow because he saw the future six months before he died in the past. But now, Gaston has no idea about what will happen in the next months and years. “Gaston is crazy,” Edgar said. Sitting inside the Hour Investment Company, which became their hangout place, Griffti looked at Edgar. “Did Gaston come to you and ask you to do things al

Especially after his grandfather died in the hands of his cousin, Divine. ‘Will there be a day when I will feel peace?’ Griffti asked that to himself. Knock knock. He looked at the door of his office. “Sir, it’s me,” his secretary announced. “Come in.” The secretary came in, but he stopped and stood from a great distance. Serving Griffti, the secretary knew that his boss hates close contact. Or else, his panic disorder will attack. “Chairman, I need to report something.” “Tell me.” “You received mail.” “You could have just sent it to my email account.” “N-No. The mail was a real letter.” “Real letter?” “Yes.
