Even though the keyword "living human experiment” had been banned on online tforms, the public still managed to push it back to the top in a different way, refusing to let it fade away quietly. Thus the topic remained trending.


    Aaron, one of the involved parties, was panicking, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. He immediately contacted Christopher.


    "Christopher! What is going on?! Did you not say it was just a popr recreational drug from abroad? How did it suddenly turn into a banned substance that has not passed clinical trials?!"


    Christopher was just humiliated by rice and had not been able to reach the Boss. Now, with Aaron yelling at him as well, he felt like pulling out a machine gun and firing it in the street. But if he could not control his anger, the grand n would be ruined.


    From being a fragile and abandoned son of the Iverson family, Christopher had fought his way through a bloody path in Sentania, nowmanding the respect of thousands. He achieved all of this by being bold yet cautious and by maintaining hisposure under pressure.


    Christopher downed a full ss of whiskey, took a deep breath, and thenughed.


    "Why panic? It''s just baseless rumors and sensationalist fake news. Did the Savrow Daily not debunk it already?"


    "But the topic is still trending! Thoseizens are crazily posting and discussing it. We cannot delete them all!"


    On the other end, Aaron was flustered.


    "Christopher! Tell me! Are you really using me for drug testing?! Are you trying to set me up and destroy the Larson family?! The Larson Group is a top pharmaceutical group in the country! If the police cannot withstand the public pressure and intensify the investigation, they will soon trace it back to me! When the truthes out, the Larson family will take the fall, and you will walk away unscathed!"


    Christopher narrowed his eyes and sneered silently. This time, Aaron had guessed part of the truth, but it was toote. Aaron was already involved and had no way out.


    "If the police do find me, I will definitely expose you! Don''t think you can pin this on me!"


    "First of all, the chances of that


    happening are extremely slim. Mywork has infiltrated the entire Savrow political scene. This matter will eventually be swept under the rug. But let''s talk about the Larson Group. How is your cash flow holding up?"


    At those words, Aaron''s panic turned toplete despair. He was stunned.


    "You! What are you talking about?!"N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.

    Christopher''s gaze was cold and his every movement exuded a sense of superiority. "Over the years, your Larson family has poured everything into developing a new drug to treat Alzheimer''s, causing all other projects toe to a halt. You have put all your eggs in one basket. But the past two years have seen significant setbacks in your research. The government is no longer willing to fund your efforts.


    "Adding insult to injury, some of the


    projects Chairman Larson had invested in have repeatedly failed, leaving you with billions in losses. The Larson Group''s new drug project is on the brink of being shut down. You naturally do not want years of hard work to go to waste, so you thought of working with me to sell this drug and generate revenue to support the Larson family."


    But, as the saying goes, there was no free lunch in the world. Moreover, ill-gotten gains would eventually backfire.


    "Mr. Larson, making money is not shameful. These days, people despise poverty more than anything else."


    Christopher''s pupils were like stormy whirlpools, deep and terrifying. "You are already on this ship, so getting off is not an option. You might as well go all in. For your father and the Larson family, you must hold on."


    Christopher''s words were very persuasive, temporarily calming Aaron.


    "This weekend,e to our newly opened resort to rx and hear my next n."


    Currently overwhelmed by the drug testing issue, Aaron did not think twice before agreeing to Christopher''s invitation.


    After hanging up the phone, Taylor immediately approached Christopher. "It''s time to prepare, Mr. Iverson."


    "This fire must not reach me. Otherwise..." Christopher, as if plunged into the dead of winter, felt a slight tremor in his broad shoulders. "I have a feeling that if I fail again this time, the Boss willpletely abandon me."
