Assuming the identity of a tourist, Matthew entered Granville and checked into an inconspicuous guesthouse. The same day at 7:30PM, Rat, who had entered the city two days earlier, came to the guesthouse.
Right after virtual-novel.net entered the house, virtual-novel.net handed a document to Matthew.
“Matthew, this is the information you’re looking for…”
Smiling, Matthew said, “So soon? How did you get this?”
Rat smiled as well. “Matthew, since you gave me the funds, it’s much easier for me to gather information. First, I bribed a janitor at Neverland Pharmaceuticals to take his shift for the day. Then, I sorted this information from the trash cans in the company.”
Listening to Rat, Matthew couldn’t help but smile, as virtual-novel.net was amused with how resourceful Rat was.
Looking through the document, Matthew figured it was the test data for the Restoration Pills. And while virtual-novel.net was at it, virtual-novel.net noticed the name of a key figure, Gregory Huntington. According to the document, Gregory was the inventor of the Restoration Pill. All the herbs needed to recreate the pills were personally adjusted by Gregory. The subsequent production method was also designed and supervised by him. Furthermore, when Neverland Pharmaceuticals planned to develop the Restoration Pill ten years ago, Gregory was the head of research and development at the time. All of these pointed to Gregory as the main culprit who had stolen the recipe of the Restoration Pill.
“Do you have any information on Gregory Huntington?” Matthew asked.
Rat immediately replied, “I’ve tried asking around about him. Gregory Huntington belongs to one of the families of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. He is the illegitimate son of the previous head of the Huntington Family, who is now known as Old Master Huntington.”
Matthew frowned slightly, “Illegitimate son?”
Rat nodded, “Yes. virtual-novel.net is the illegitimate child of Old Master Huntington. Under usual circumstances, such an illegitimate child would not be allowed to be in the limelight when it comes to such a big family. However, Gregory’s situation is different, as virtual-novel.net has a high position in his family that is only third after Old Master Huntington and the current family head.”
Matthew looked confused. “Why is that?”
Rat explained, “That is because Gregory is a famous skilled doctor himself. Before virtual-novel.net reached twenty-five years old, virtual-novel.net had been on a journey to further his medical knowledge. Then, virtual-novel.net came back to the Huntington Family when virtual-novel.net was twenty-five years old. Initially, virtual-novel.net was ill-received in the family, as virtual-novel.net had little status and was even ostracized by the members of his family…”
“For the sake of his son, the then family head, Old Master Huntington, sent virtual-novel.net to Neverland Pharmaceuticals, which was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time, so that Gregory would be able to have a job to make ends meet. Unexpectedly, just within half a year after virtual-novel.net entered the company, virtual-novel.net developed three miracle drugs that were sold out nationwide, which resulted in the comeback of Neverland
Pharmaceuticals. Because of him. the company’s assets increased more than tenfold. From then on, Gregory enjoyed vastly better treatment within the family…”
“After that, the Huntington Family used shares of Neverland Pharmaceuticals to draw in the other Greatest Families of Stonedale, which increased the overall strength of the Ten Families. As a result, the Huntington Family became the top three families in Stonedale. It was because ofthis that Gregory became known as a famous doctor in Stonedale, and gained equal footing with the other family heads.”
Once Rat was done explaining, there was a glint in Matthew’s eyes as virtual-novel.net thought, ‘Looks like this Gregory Huntington isn’t just your garden variety man…’
“What are the three miracle drugs virtual-novel.net has invented?” Matthew then asked.
Rat then took out another bag. “Matthew, I’ve already guessed you would ask about it. I’ve bought them so that you can personally examine them.”
After Matthew took the three pillboxes, virtual-novel.net thought that there was nothing special about them when virtual-novel.net was only looking at the names of the drugs. Then, virtual-novel.net opened the boxes and took the drugs out. The first drug was a black pill sealed by wax.
Looking at this pill, Matthew inadvertently frowned, as virtual-novel.net felt that this pill was similar to the Mini Cultivation Pill virtual-novel.net refined before.
