Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 76 The Most Powerful Research Institution?

Upon hearing the words "the Immortal Peak," Vanessa's eyes lit up, instantly becoming interested.

She temporarily forgot about the imposing presence of the demon in front of her and began to talk incessantly, "This is the most powerful international research institution. Three years ago, the anti-cancer drug developed by the Immortal Peak won worldwide acclaim." "Five years ago, a village in Continent F was plagued by a new type of epidemic. The disease ravaged the village, and the people in the surrounding five villages were tortured to death by this epidemic. Shortly thereafter, the disease spread to the neighboring towns. Continent F was almost abandoned at that time, like a purgatory."

"No one dared to go there, for it meant death. The whole world was in panic. This incident attracted extreme international attention and was classified as an S-level public health issue that needed urgent attention. Otherwise, it would pose a crisis to the entire world."

"The international medical organization held comprehensive meetings with leaders of several major countries and top researchers, deciding to organize a medical team to rush to the scene. However, they all returned empty-handed, as almost all the key members of the medical team perished."

"Panic spread, hearts trembled, and in the end, the people from the Immortal Peak came forward and spontaneously organized personnel to rush to Continent F. After just half a year of data research and comparison, they developed a new drug. As a result, Continent F was spared from the epidemic, and the whole world was saved from catastrophe."

"But the Immortal Peak is extraordinarily modest as a research institution, even after making such a huge contribution to humanity. They quickly withdrew from the spotlight after their success. As it happened in the relatively distant Continent F and to avoid causing panic worldwide, many negative news about them was suppressed. Even now, many people still don't know that it was the heroes from the Immortal Peak who resolved the epidemic at that time."

After finishing speaking, Vanessa's eyes were filled with reverence and admiration.

Sylvester lowered his head and rhythmically tapped the chair's armrest with his slender fingers, repeatedly.

He knew about the epidemic in Continent F at the time, it was explosive news internationally.

But five years ago, he was busy expanding his territory and strengthening the Flame Dragon, so he didn't have the time to thoroughly investigate. Afterwards, the news gradually faded away. Such a significant global news story stirred a sensation, only to vanish without a trace, as if intentionally suppressed.

Can the Immortal Peak just ignore the honorable recognition and retire after achieving success?

Human nature is inherently driven by insatiable desires and is often elusive.

Do individuals truly exist in this world who remain so genuinely pure?

Why is he so distrustful?

"How do you possess such profound understanding?"

Vanessa scratched her head and said, "I have always admired this place, so I pay more attention to it. There should be no one in the medical community who doesn't aspire to the Immortal Peak." "Aspire?" Sylvester sneered, "You, the honorary academician of the Medical College at Central City University, the top figure in pharmacology, dare to tell me about aspirations?"

Hearing this, Vanessa sighed lightly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes. "Mr. Gomez, you don't know that getting into the Immortal Peak is as difficult as reaching the sky. Even now, I have yet to find a way to enter. I heard that it is classified as a

key protected institution by international organizations, with military stationed there. There are very few people in the world who know the specific address of the Immortal Peak."

After some thought, Vanessa exclaimed again, "The Immortal Peak is truly remarkable. It was established only a dozen years ago and has achieved so much. It would be a great honor if I could get in."

This is the place she has sought after her whole life.

Only a dozen years?

"Is that so?" Sylvester clearly showed no interest in the Immortal Peak's achievements.

He found them to be false when he heard about them.

However, seeing Vanessa's admiration, he didn't mock her. Instead, he asked, "Have you ever heard of mutants?"
