Alec Peterson looked at the medicine over and over again, and eventually, he confirmed that it was indeed the medicine Ethan Smith had given him before!

"Brother Alec, done looking? Time to give it back to me." Mayor Lee took back the Soul Nourishment Pill.

Then, Mayor Lee jokingly said, "Brother Alec, you have to be careful, Ray Walters may become the new richest man in River City, replacing you."

The others also teased, "Brother Alec, your position is precarious!"

Everyone laughed, while Alec Peterson's face flushed in awkwardness, unable to laugh.

...

At the city center of River City, there's a commercial shop that served as Ray Walters' office.

Recently, Ray's office could be described as a bustling marketplace, with countless wealthy individuals wanting to get the agency rights and even monopolize the Soul Nourishment Pill.

This was also the first time Ray experienced the feeling of being held up to the sky by others.

"Brother Ray, Director Miller wants to see you."

"Brother Ray, Mr.Russell has been waiting at the door for an hour now."

"Brother Ray..."

Ray waved his hand impatiently, "No, no, I don't have time!"

Before this, those so-called directors looked down on Ray, but now they were bitterly begging at the door.

"Thanks to this Soul Nourishment Pill." Ray said with a smug expression.

Just then, the office door suddenly burst open.

"Didn't I say, I'm not seeing anyone?" Ray yelled impatiently.

"Ray Walters, what a big temper you have." That's when a voice entered Ray's ears.

Ray turned his head to look, only to see Stephen Hill standing at the door, with Gary Brown following closely behind.

"Mr. Hill? How come you're here?" Ray's face changed, and he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Stephen Hill snorted, not saying a word, and sat down directly on the sofa.

"Why don't you hurry up and pour some water for Mr. Hill?" Gary Brown glared.

Ray gave Gary Brown a disgruntled look but still obediently poured a glass of water for Stephen Hill.

"Mr. Hill, what is the reason you're looking for me?" Ray felt bitter sitting across from Stephen Hill.

Stephen Hill took a sip of water and said calmly, "I heard that you have a medicine called Soul Nourishment Pill, is that right?"

Ray's face changed, he thought to himself – not good.

"Mr. Hill, the Soul Nourishment Pill is indeed in my hands..." Ray gritted his teeth and said.

Stephen Hill sneered coldly and said, "Give me the formula for the Soul Nourishment Pill, and I'll give you money in return."

Upon saying that, Stephen Hill took out a bank card and placed it on the table.

"There's one hundred and sixty thousand dollars in the card. Buying your formula should be more than enough." Before Stephen Hill could speak, Gary Brown showed off with a domineering attitude.

Ray's face changed, and he couldn't help cursing, "One hundred and sixty thousand? Is that for begging?"

"What's the difference between you and a beggar?" Stephen Hill sneered.

Hearing this, Ray couldn't help it any longer.

He glared at Stephen Hill and said, "Stephen Hill, don't go too far!"

"Too far?" Stephen Hill's face turned cold, and he said coldly, "How dare you talk to me like that?"

With that said, Stephen Hill waved his hand, and several bodyguards rushed in and quickly subdued Ray on the ground!

Stephen Hill looked down at Ray and said, "Ray Walters, either hand over the formula or I'll cripple you. Your choice."

Ray's face was extremely ugly, and for a moment, he didn't say a word.

"Not speaking?" Stephen Hill nodded, "Break his legs for me!"

"Yes!" The bodyguards shouted and were about to break Ray's legs.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Ray hurriedly yelled.

He looked up at Stephen Hill and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Hill, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but mainly... I don't have the formula either. This Soul Nourishment Pill was sold to me by someone else..."

"Someone else?" Stephen Hill frowned, asking, "Who?"

Ray's eyes flickered and said, "It's... an old Chinese medicine doctor! How about this, I'll arrange a meeting with him for you three days later, is that ok?"

Stephen Hill looked at Ray, thought for a moment, and then coldly snorted, "Fine, but I'm warning you, if you dare to play with me, don't blame me for being rude!"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..." Ray said with a forced smile.

Stephen Hill waved his hand and left Ray's office with his people.

After he left, Ray spat on the ground.

"What shit! You just wait!" Ray cursed angrily.

Afterwards, Ray drove away from the office, heading straight for the Dragon Rising Community.

At this time, Ethan Smith was in a huge manor, with his eyes slightly closed, breathing in and out.

"Mr. Smith!" Ray, sweating profusely, ran to Ethan's side, looking frantic.

Ethan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ray.

"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry?" Ethan said calmly.

Ray wiped the sweat off his face and quickly said, "That Stephen Hill came to find me, he gave me a hundred and sixty thousand dollars, asking me to hand over the formula."

Ethan's face remained calm, not surprised.

He had guessed earlier that the Hill family would be interested in this formula.

"What did you say?" Ethan asked calmly.

"I lied to him that the formula was given to me by an old Chinese medicine doctor, and I promised to meet him with the old doctor in three days." Ray carefully replied.

"Mr. Smith, please don't blame me. Stephen Hill wanted to cripple my legs, and I had no other choice but to resort to this strategy!" Ray hurriedly added.

Ethan didn't say anything.

He leaned back, gazing into the distance, and calmly said, "You did well, Ray. Arrange it, and three days later, bring everyone who wants the formula to the No. 1 Grand Mansion."

"At that time, I'll choose a capable company to cooperate with."
