Tiana let out a cold laugh. “That little bastard is really trying to test me, huh? Did you at least remind him that if he doesn’t step up, the Pharmaceutical Division will collapse, and he’ll take a financial hit too?”
Jerry looked exhausted. “I told him, Mrs. Rhodes. Every single thing you asked me to say-I said it. But he just laughed it off. He said it’s only five billion, and he doesn’t care if it’s gone.”
Tiana’s jaw clenched as rage flared in her eyes. “He really said that?”
Jerry nodded grimly.
Tiana gritted her teeth. “That little bastard wants to sit back and watch Rhodes Corporation fall apart. I really underestimated how ruthless he could be!”
Jerry’s tone grew more serious.
“Mrs. Rhodes, we have to find a way to stabilize the Pharmaceutical
Division. Bane’s three formulas turned out exactly as Mr. Baldwin. predicted-they’re completely. useless. They won’t save the division. If we don’t figure out another solution, Rhodes
Corporation could be heading for a massive financial loss.”
Tiana’s face darkened as she let out an annoyed scoff. “You think I don’t know that? Where’s Michael? Get him in here-I need to ask if his so-called guarantees were just empty words.”
Jerry hesitated before shaking his head. “Mr. Rhodes stormed out earlier, looking absolutely furious. No idea where he went, but judging by his expression, he looked like he was ready to kill someone.”
Tiana sneered. “Hotheaded, impulsive, and painfully stupid. Completely useless. If it weren’t for his father constantly causing trouble for the head of the family over in Blumedale, I would’ve gotten rid of him ages ago.”
Jerry asked cautiously, “Then what’s our next move, Mrs. Rhodes?”
Tiana’s gaze turned icy. “We wait. And in the meantime, schedule a meeting with Aspen from the Snees family in Bridgefields. That little snake thinks she can mess with Rhodes Corporation? It’s time she learns exactly what it feels like to cross me!”
Meanwhile, Kingsley and Lauren stepped inside Moonlit Apothecary together.
“Dr. Baldwin, welcome!”
“Ah, Dr. Baldwin, good to see you!”
“Dr. Baldwin, you’re here just knowing you’re around makes us feel safe!”
The reputation of Moonlit Apothecary was growing stronger by the day. Naturally, Kingsley, as the owner, had earned the trust and admiration of many.
Lauren was taken aback. It was surprising to see just how well-respected Kingsley had become. Moonlit Apothecary had become a bustling, sought-after establishment in just a few days.
At this rate, it would not be long before it became a household name in Jayrodale and across the entire Gabo Creek region.
Nyla was busy moving around. However, the moment she spotted Kingsley, her face lit up. “Kingsley, you’re here! Dr. Aicker and Mr. Aicker are upstairs.”
Kingsley smiled. “Is Fran here too? Perfect-I actually came to see her and Mr. Aicker.”
Upstairs in the lounge, Kingsley found Francesca and Cedric.
The moment Francesca saw her, she put down her cup and greeted her with a warm smile. “Lauren, you came too!”
Kingsley raised a brow and smirked. “Lauren made it here, and I did too. What, Fran, are you just going to pretend you didn’t see me?”
Francesca shot him a glare and huffed, “Nope. Someone doesn’t know how to be gentle, so from now on, I’m just going to ignore them completely!”
Kingsley was speechless. He had not expected last night’s intimate session to leave such a lasting grudge. In his defense, he had only used 30% of his strength.
He wondered if he had gone all out, would Francesca have declared a lifelong vendetta against him?
Lauren smirked playfully. “Fran, you’re still walking funny. Was it really that intense?”
Francesca’s face turned beet red as she gasped in outrage. She lunged at Lauren, trying to cover her mouth. “Lauren! Stop using dirty jokes against me! I swear, I’ll rip that mouth of yours off!”
The two of them giggled and wrestled for a bit before finally settling down when they noticed Cedric looking more and more uncomfortable.
Kingsley chuckled. “Mr. Aicker, I assume you know why I came to Moonlit Apothecary today?”
Cedric stroked his beard and smiled. “Dr. Baldwin, I’d guess it has something to do with the sales performance of the Vitality Pill and Titan Essence Pill, right?”
Kingsley nodded. “That’s right. It’s been three days-how have things been on the Aicker family’s end?”
Cedric hesitated for a moment before suddenly laughing heartily. “To be completely honest, every single unit we received has already sold out!”
Even though Kingsley had expected good results, he was still slightly surprised. “Sold out completely? Are you sure?”
Cedric nodded proudly, his voice full of praise. “A good product never lacks a market. And these two formulas you provided? They’re an absolute hit among our customers. It’s complete madness!
“Especially the Titan Essence Pill-I’ve had several esteemed colleagues in the medical field practically begging to collaborate with us. They want to distribute it themselves!”
At this, Cedric’s excitement dimmed slightly, his face turning somewhat conflicted. He said, “Truth be told, Dr. Baldwin, I have mixed feelings about this.”
Kingsley smiled. “I can understand the joy, but what’s the concern?”
Cedric let out a deep sigh. “The demand for Titan Essence Pill and Vitality Pilis simply enormous. Particularly for Titan Essence Pill-the benefits for overall vitality and men’s health are just too pronounced!
“I’ve even received direct calls from wealthy businessmen trying to place bulk orders, They’re treating Titan Essence Pill like some sort of high-end performance enhancer! I mean, this is ridiculous, isn’t it?”

Seeing Cedric’s frustrated expression, Kingsley simply nodded. “It makes sense. Titan Essence Pill does have incredibly powerful benefits for men’s health and vitality. But it’s not just about one function-it’s a holistic formula that enhances overall immunity physical resilience, and energy levels.”
Cedric let out a bitter laugh. “I’ve already explained the true benefits of Titan Essence Pill countless times. But those wealthy men don’t care about anything else-they only see its effects on endurance and performance, and now they’re desperate to buy in bulk!”
He added, “I turned them down outright, telling them there was no more stock. But having something valuable is a dangerous thing. Several powerful groups have already set their sights on the Aicker family. If I can’t hold my ground, someone is bound to come after these two miracle formulas!”
Kingsley’s expression darkened, his voice turning cold. “Mr. Aicker, you don’t need to worry too much. If anyone thinks they can muscle in with brute force… Then, they should know-I’m no easy prey!”
Cedric gave him a serious look and warned, “Dr. Baldwin, don’t underestimate the threat. From what I’ve heard, several major families in Blumedale, along with the Hidden Dragons-one of the top three groups in Gabo Creek-have already set their eyes on Titan Essence Pill!”
Kingsley was slightly surprised. He had not expected his formulas to cause such a stir in just three days, reaching as far as Blumedale. Then again, it was not that shocking.
In business, information could spread at terrifying speeds-especially in today’s digital world.
A new gadget could launch abroad and go viral in a day or two, only for certain companies in other countries to “magically” roll out a near-identical version within a week.
Kingsley had seen it happen countless times.
Some countries were not always the best at original innovation, but when it came to-well, let’s call it strategic replication-they had perfected the art. For example, it was common in Holtrien.
As one influential businessman from Holtrien once said, “Why waste money and effort on R&D when you can just wait for others to do the work and recreate it flawlessly?”
Even Newton had said, “Standing on the shoulders of giants allows you to see further.”
Kingsley figured these power players were simply putting that philosophy to good use.
Cedric pulled out a bank statement and handed it to Kingsley with a grin. “As per our agreement, Dr. Baldwin, we’re splitting the revenue seventy-thirty. All of the products you supplied us have completely sold out, bringing in just over 100 million dollars.
“The Aicker family kept 30 million, and I’ve already instructed finance to wire the remaining 70 million to your designated account!”
Kingsley skimmed the document briefly and nodded. “Everything looks good.”
Lauren, however, seemed a little stunned. “Dr. Baldwin, the Aicker family was also distributing Vitality Pill and Titan Essence Pill?”
Kingsley smirked. “That’s right. I anticipated Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division might crash and burn so I allocated some stock to Fran and Mr. Aicker’s channels. And a And as we can see, that decision paid off. Through the Aicker family’s distribution network, both formulas became instant bestsellers.”
Lauren’s eyes lit up in excitement. “That means our products have already passed the market test. There’s no doubt about their success!”
Kingsley scoffed. “Not only are they problem-free, but they’re also highly sought-after! The Aicker family’s sales results have already proven that. If you want to take the CEO position, Lauren, these two products alone are more than enough to crush Michael!”
Just then, Francesca gasped as she stared at her phone. “Guys, check the news!
The Weller Group’s pharmaceutical warehouse just went up in flames! The report says the fire destroyed over 100 million dollars worth of inventory!”
Lauren’s expression immediately fell, and she quickly pulled out her phone to check the news online.
Then, she looked up at Kingsley and said, “Dr. Baldwin, it’s true-The Wellers’ pharmaceutical warehouse was set on fire. Billions worth of supplements have been burned to ashes, and the entire place went up in flames!”
Francesca added, “This is huge! I saw an interview-Harvey is completely losing it. He swore he’d catch the culprit and tear them to pieces!”
With such a juicy scandal, Kingsley naturally wanted in on the drama. He grabbed his phone, ready to check out the Wellers’ disaster for himself.
However, before he could even open the news, his phone started ringing. It was Donald, the chief commissioner of the Jayrodale Police Department.
Kingsley put the call on speaker, and Donald’s voice came through immediately. He said, “Mr. Baldwin, I need to give you a heads-up on something. Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division is under investigation for unfair competition.
“The vice CEO, Michael Rhodes, was caught setting fire to the Wellers’
warehouse. Our entire department is on this case now. Every Rhodes Corporation executive and all pharmaceutical division employees are being called in for questioning!”
Since Kingsley had his phone on speaker, Lauren, Francesca, and Cedric all heard the announcement.
Francesca was stunned, mumbling, “Wait… Michael started the fire?”
Lauren instantly grasped the severity of the situation and demanded, “Mr. Warren, are you saying Michael set fire to the Wellers’ warehouse? Do you have proof?”
Donald sighed. “Not just proof-it’s ironclad evidence. Their surveillance cameras caught everything, and the security guards at the entrance saw Michael and four other Rhodes Pharmaceutical executives walking in and setting the place ablaze. “Ms. Rhodes, since you’re with Mr. Baldwin, I won’t be questioning you for now. But as for the rest of Rhodes Corporation, I have a job to do I need them all at the station.”
Lauren’s face went pale. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “Michael is such an idiot! Is he trying to take all of Rhodes Corporation down with him?”
She knew this fire had pushed Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division straight to the edge of a cliff, and the situation was beyond dire.
Donald spoke in a grave tone. “Mr. Baldwin, I hope you understand I have no choice. The Wellers have presented solid evidence, so I have to make arrests.”
Kingsley, however, did not seem fazed. He replied, “Mr. Warren, do what you need to do. I’m just an ordinary Citizen-I wouldn’t dream of interfering with the police. Besides, what Michael did was absolutely unforgivable. Even I can’t defend him.”
Donald clearly felt relieved and chuckled. “As long as you’re not upset, Mr. Baldwin, that’s all that matters. I’ll leave you to it. Goodbye!”
After hanging up, Kingsley turned to Lauren. “Lauren, don’t worry. Mr. Warren won’t come after you.”
Francesca also reassured her, “Lauren, don’t stress. This was Michael’s doing-it has nothing to do with you.”
Even so, Lauren was burning with frustration. “I don’t care what happens to Michael. But Rhodes Pharmaceutical… this is going to put us right at the center of a media firestorm!”
She added, “Arson to destroy a competitor’s warehouse-once that label sticks, who’s ever going to trust Rhodes Pharmaceutical again?”
Francesca fell silent, knowing it was a serious problem. After all, Rhodes Pharmaceutical’s reputation was about to take a nosedive-possibly even to the point of being shut down entirely.
“Dr. Baldwin, my mind is all over the place right now,” Lauren said, her voice tense.
