Chapter 166

Malcolm was surprised Natasha accepted the needles so readily. Wouldn't she at least feign modesty by declining his offer?

"Before I forget, Dr. Shane, since you have a keen eye for valuables, I have something I'd like you to help me evaluate," Natasha requested after accepting the golden needles.

"Oh? What is it? Please let me have a look," Malcolm said confidently.

"Here." Natasha showed him a green pill.

Malcolm took the pill and nodded with satisfaction after examining it. "This crystal-clear pill has a bright luster and a distinct fragrance. From the looks of it, it's quite remarkable!"

"What good judgment, Dr. Shane!" Natasha gave him a thumbs-up.

"This pill is called Immortunol. It can enhance beauty, promote longevity, and has anti-aging effects. If you're not worried about it being poisoned, you may give it a try, Dr. Shane."

"So what if it's spiked? What fear have I of poison?" Malcolm smiled proudly and swallowed the Immortunol immediately.

The moment he swallowed it, he felt a cool, refreshing sensation enter his bloodstream, spreading to his limbs. For a moment, Malcolm felt a charge running through him. He was instantly rejuvenated as an inexplicable sense of clarity washed over him. The palpable feeling that all his exhaustion had been swept away left him feeling much more energized. And most importantly, it wasn't just a momentary sensation. After the medical constituents entered his bloodstream, they continued to fuel him with vitality.

He was sure that if the pill were taken for an extended period, it would significantly transform a person.

"Brilliant! This is downright brilliant! It's a treasure in itself!" His praise flowed freely upon perceiving Immortunol's exceptional qualities.

"Young lady, where did you get this Immortunol? Do you have more? Would it be possible for you to sell me a few?" Malcolm's eyes lit up.

He rarely got so worked up, but he couldn't contain his excitement. The effects of Immortunol were too amazing! Even the Vitalitum Dr. Watkins gave him couldn't compare to this precious pill!

"Dr. Shane, Immortunol is still in the production stage. We're not ready to sell it to the public yet, but if you like it, I can give you some." Natasha smiled.

"Hahaha! What a generous young lady! If you don't mind me asking, who is the genius who produced Immortunol? I would really appreciate it if you could introduce me to them." Malcolm beamed happily.

"Dr. Shane, the brain behind it all is right in front of you." Natasha smiled suggestively.

Chapter 166

"Do you mean Mr. Rhys produced Immortunol?" Malcolm's eyes widened.

It's important to note that healing skills and producing pharmaceutical products are two different skill sets. While they might seem related, there's a world of difference between the two. Being adept at medical skills doesn't guarantee skill in medicine production, and vice versa. His difference in expertise from Dr. Watkins was the best example; he was proficient in medical skills, while Dr. Watkins was adroit at producing medicine.

It's extremely rare to find someone seasoned in both fields; all existing masters were at least in their seventies. For a youngster in his twenties to be so skilled in both was unheard of—unimaginable!

"I just lucked out and found a prescription formula, that's all," Dustin smiled.

"You're being too modest, Mr. Rhys. Even with a prescription formula, producing such superb medicine wouldn't be easy. You have exceptional talent, Mr. Rhys! It's an honor to have met you today, and I'm deeply impressed!" Malcolm bowed deeply to Dustin.

He was so skilled in treating patients and producing medicine at such a young age; he was truly a genius!

"You flatter me, Dr. Shane." Dustin immediately helped him up.

"I wonder if you'd be interested in collaborating with us, Dr. Shane?" Natasha asked unexpectedly.

"Collaborate? How so?" Malcolm's curiosity was piqued.

"You're a giant in the medical profession, a symbol of authority. If you're willing to promote Immortunol, it would surely boost sales," Natasha explained with a smile.

Malcolm had connections and was highly important in the medical industry. His endorsement would guarantee a steady stream of high-ranking officials and nobility seeking it.

"You really have a mind for business, young lady. But tell me, why should I agree?" Malcolm wasn't easily fooled.

"If you agree, not only will we give you Immortunol for free year-round, but you'll also get priority supply. You've just experienced it; you know how effective it is. You'd be saving many lives. This is an incredibly meritorious and beneficial deed! As someone of your high moral standing and reputation, surely you wouldn't want such a precious treasure to go unnoticed, am I right?" Natasha coaxed persuasively.

"It really does sound like a good deal. Alright, I'll work with you just this once," Malcolm nodded thoughtfully. After all, he had received the ancient manuscript from Dustin; this was the least he could do to repay him.

Chapter 166

"Thank you, Dr. Shane! We appreciate it. Oh, Immortunol will be officially launched in two days. Please come and give us some moral support then!" Natasha smiled.

"Sure!" Malcolm agreed heartily, unaware he had agreed to something he might regret in the future.

In a mansion overlooking a lake:

"How is it, Mr. Wangley? Do we have the results yet?" Quentin stood to welcome the white-browed man. He had lost sleep for the past two days because of Eternumax. After much consideration, the best option was to join forces with the Hummers.

"Mr. Harmon, Sir Hummer has agreed to join forces, but only under one condition," the old man said, hastily finishing his tea.

"What condition?" Quentin asked impatiently.

"Sir Hummer hopes you'll use this opportunity to pressure Natasha from all sides and force her resignation," Mr. Wangley explained.

"Hahaha! That is exactly what I intend to do!" Quentin laughed.

He had always been overshadowed by Natasha since childhood, so the family never valued him. Now that Eternumax was lost, the family held grudges. If he seized this opportunity to recover the family's losses and prove his worth, he might take over Natasha's position!

"Mr. Harmon, the Hummers have agreed, but we still need money to buy Eternumax. How many boxes are you planning to purchase?" Mr. Wangley asked.

"The more the better, of course! Put in all the money we have on hand, and if that's not enough, then borrow more!" Quentin decided boldly.

"Isn't that a little too risky?" Mr. Wangley doubted his decision.

"How is it risky? We have the market research report for Eternumax, and it shows very promising results! Countless millionaires are after it. If we stock up now and sell it at a high price later, we'll surely make a huge profit!" Quentin laughed exuberantly. The return will always be proportionate to the investment.

By then, his worth would have increased ten to twentyfold. Wouldn't he be the one calling the shots in the family? Even Natasha Harmon would have to submit to him then!
