"Haha!"

"Why is this kid so nervous?"

"Young Jiang, do you often mistreat your Mercenary Corps members?"

Elder Qing and the others teased.

"No, no, no! No, no! The Young Master treats us very well! Really very well!" Huang Zheng was stunned, quickly defending.

Haha!

"Haha!"

"Haha..."

Everyone burst into laughter, looking at Huang Zheng with amused expressions.

Huang Zheng stood there anxiously, blinking in confusion, not knowing what to do.

"No need to be nervous, sit down!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, gesturing towards the sofa.

"No, no, no! I-I'm fine standing!" Huang Zheng waved his hands hastily.

Jiang Chen chuckled and said: "It's okay, have a seat."

"Sit down, the Young Master isn't pretentious!" Yan Hu patted Huang Zheng's shoulder and sat next to Jiang Chen.

Gulp!

Huang Zheng swallowed nervously again, taking a step forward to sit at the very edge of the sofa, only occupying a third of it, ready to stand up anytime.

"Did you have something to discuss with me?" Jiang Chen stopped persuading and asked with a gentle smile.

"Oh!" Huang Zheng sprang up suddenly, handing over the small leather bag in his hands to Jiang Chen: "Young Master, this is the shipment we received."

Jiang Chen glanced seriously as he took the bag from Huang Zheng and opened it.

Inside the bag lay two boxes of medications quietly.

He took out the boxes and opened them; one box contained five porcelain bottles of injectables.

Buzz!

A subtle wave spread through the veins, causing Jiang Chen to frown slightly as he operated his Inner Qi.

Whoosh!

A faint white light shone from Jiang Chen's palm, scanning over the medication.

Bzzz, bzzz, bzzz!

The medication started vibrating, and the liquid inside the porcelain bottles churned, but quickly settled down in the blink of an eye.

"These medications contain components of Gene Potion."

Jiang Chen spoke with a serious expression: "However, the solution contains minimal amounts; according to the intel we've received, each injection holds no more than a tenth of the amount found in a Mutant Gene Potion. That means it would take ten of these to induce a genetic mutation, turning a person into a gene mutant!"

Everyone's faces fell with seriousness. Although it requires ten injections to be effective, the allure of the drug is too great.

'Anticancer medications,' just the name alone is enough to capture the public's attention. Moreover, post-injection, although the medication doesn't instantly transform someone into a gene mutant, the vitality within can enhance resistance and improve body constitution.

Once someone tastes the benefits after injection, they certainly won't stop, even lacking drug inspection marks; many will likely purchase them!

"Young Master!"

Summoning courage, Huang Zheng spoke softly: "On the way here, I read the instructions; it says that ten injections would make a complete course, destroying all cancer cells, eradicating all bacteria in the body, making one feel tremendously invigorated, extending life span, and even..."

Huang Zheng paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Even enhancing performance in bed. These effects are just too enticing, not just to cancer patients or those wanting to avoid cancer; everyone who can afford them will surely find it irresistible!"

"Exactly! Once these get released, there will unquestionably be a mad rush for it!"

Jiang Chen nodded solemnly, furrowing his brow: "Even though we can intercept some of the shipments, we probably can't stop all products from entering the market. It seems we must accelerate the production of our counteractive drugs!"

"Young Jiang, currently only you and Elder Yao can manufacture the main elixirs, correct?" Elder Qing asked solemnly.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly: "Right, creating this elixir is complex, and once leaked, it could be targeted by the Gene Organization. So far, it's only Elder Yao working on it by himself; that's why we're so slow!"

"This..." Elder Qing frowned in contemplation.

Elder Hei had a sudden inspiration, speaking softly: "Young Jiang, there's a place abundant with Pill Masters!"

Everyone was taken aback by his words, recalling a certain name!

"I know!" Jiang Chen nodded gently, frowning lightly: "Let's decide based on how this unfolds; finding unreliable people would be worse than not finding any!"

Everyone nodded in agreement; given the current situation, there was no room for any slack, especially considering the complexities of that group; truly, no one could confidently entrust them with such a significant task.

"Let's revisit the Pill Master issue in a few days after assessing the situation; for now, the drugs are here."

Turning to Spirit You, Jiang Chen said: "Spirit You, you'll follow Huang Zheng back later. Huang Zheng will be in the open; you in the shadows; you two will ensure these medications do not reach the public!"

"Yes!" Spirit You nodded solemnly.

"Huh?" Huang Zheng was confused, staring blankly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at Huang Zheng questioningly: "What's wrong?"

"Y-Young Master, did you just say I would be overseeing these medications with Brother You?" Huang Zheng's eyes reflected a mix of nervousness, anticipation, and verification.

"Yes, is there an issue?" Jiang Chen blinked, baffled by Huang Zheng's reaction; did he not want to accept this task?

"Really? Can I be responsible for something so important?" Huang Zheng jumped excitedly, looking at Jiang Chen with delight.

Jiang Chen understood, laughing: "Of course, as Xue Tu has initially trusted you, monitoring publicly fits perfectly. You're not concerned about safety, so you don't want to do this?" Jiang Chen suggested: "If you don't want to, I won't force you; you could..."

"No, no, no! I want it! I want it! Absolutely no reluctance!"

Huang Zheng spoke hurriedly: "I just... I just didn't expect I'd be entrusted with such critical work as an Innate Grandmaster!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, directly staring into Huang Zheng's eyes and spoke earnestly: "Always remember, one's ability is unrelated to strength. Of course, power is advantageous, but not everything can be solved with mere strength!"

"Understood!" Huang Zheng nodded firmly.

...

...

Aoli Country, Sedney.

While Flame Dragon Kingdom launched nationwide pursuit, tracking, and capturing covert actions, Jiang Chen followed Elder Bai out of Flame Dragon, whereas Supreme Shi Kui arrived in Nixi ahead of time after returning from the island.

This time, Jiang Chen had Yan Hu, Ying Zi, Leng Ming, and Mi Jiaro accompanying him.

Leng Ming and Mi Jiaro had been sent by their elders for practical experience under Jiang Chen's wing. It would indeed be unreasonable not to include them. Especially with Mi Jiaro's peculiarity, Jiang Chen felt uneasy about leaving him in Dingjing because if Mi Jiaro unexpectedly changed while he was away, his family in Dingjing could be threatened!

"Elder Bai, is the Grand Virtue Gate Conference always held here?"

At that moment, Jiang Chen asked Elder Bai.
