When offered the toast, Fade raised his glass as well. He looked around and nodded, finishing the wine in one gulp.

The others also did the same as cheers and laughter surrounded the hall.

The atmosphere became lively soon after as everyone began to chat with each other. Addison sat next to Fade with a smile on his face. He continuously praised him and gave him respect, toasting him every once a while.

Just like that, everyone's face turned red after three rounds of toasting while the aroma of wine whafted around the hall. The air seemed to be filled with an alluring smell. Everyone was no longer as cautious as before. Instead, they gradually relaxed and talked loudly with laughter.

Some members of the Chamber of Commerce started chatting with the young members of the inspection team, slowly addressing them as brothers.

Addison seemed a little drunk as he sat beside Fade. His face was red and there was a smile on his face.

He once again raised his glass as he looked at

Fade. He then said, "Mr. Chen, I have a few friends who have heard your name for quite some time already. They wanted to meet you when they heard that you would be here."

Fade said lightly, "Well, if they are indeed your friends, Mr. Zhong, I would of course show them some courtesy. Let's meet them."

Addison nodded and waved his hand, calling over a waiter and whispering a few words.

The waiter left and a few people walked out soon after that.

However, as soon as they saw these people, the expressions on the people around them changed. The lively atmosphere instantly became quiet.

The faces of Flynt, Macrae, and Ogen immediately changed as they stood beside Fade.

That was because the people in front of them were all foreigners. One of them was an acquaintance of Fade's. He was Meyer, the assistant manager of Bald Eagle Pharma, whom he had met at the exhibition. Everyone's faces instantly darkened.

Flynt looked at Addison and confronted him, "Mr. Zhong, what's the meaning of this?"

Addison's eyes flickered and he looked confused. He replied, "Master Choi, these are my friends. They just want to meet Mr. Chen. It's nothing

else."

"That's Meyer. Why is he here?" Ogen asked.

Addison explained, "Mr. Meyer is my old friend. He said that he wanted to talk with Mr. Chen, so..."

"Addison, don't you know about the relationship between Mr. Chen and Bald Eagle Pharma? Given the circumstances, you still invited Meyer over. What on earth were you thinking?" Flynt said angrily. He put down his chopsticks and glared at Addison.

However, Addison didn't give him a direct answer. Instead, he said vaguely, "Master Choi, you' re overthinking. I just wanted to introduce my friends to Mr. Chen. I..."

"You..." Flynt was speechless. He was on the verge of slamming the table.

At that moment, Fade stopped him. He looked at Addison and said coldly, "If they are the friends you were referring to, then I apologize. I'm not interested in knowing them. Please let them leave!" Addison was shocked when he heard those words. The expression on his face looked stiff, and he did not know how to respond.

Meyer, on the other hand, walked towards them with a smile on his face. He looked at Fade and said, "We're businessmen. I came here just to negotiate. Mr. Chen, you don't have to do this." "I have nothing to say to you!" Fade looked at him and said coldly.

Meyer's face changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is Micovia after all, Mr. Chen. It's best not to be too arrogant."

"So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?" Fade replied.

Meyer's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Chen, let's not waste any more time on this meaningless argument. I came here today because I really have something to discuss with you." Fade stayed silent and didn't respond. He was obviously expressing his stand, indicating that there was nothing to discuss with him.

Upon seeing this, Meyer's

expression became more and more unsightly, However, he held on and said, "Mr Chen, Sincere Medicine Center is doing very well. As such, we, Bald Eagle Pharma, as the largest medicine producer in Micovia or even in the entire world,

would like to discuss a cooperation."

"Mr. Chen, as long as you get rid of the things that you previously showed, well do our best to support the development of Sincere Medicine Center."

"What do you think, Mr. Chen?" He asked.

Upon finishing, Meyer and the others turned their attention to Fade.

Upon listening to those words, not just Fade, but the others including Ogen and Flynt, changed their expressions.

Meyer's words sounded nice. However, his real intention was to get Fade to revoke the evidence that he previously exposed, so as to get rid of the problems faced by Bald Eagle Pharma.

On the contrary, Fade would never agree to that. He looked at Meyer and said coldly, "My biggest recent goal is to see Bald Eagle Pharma go bankrupt. Do you think I will cooperate with you?"

Upon hearing this, Meyer's expression sank even more. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, we're businessmen. A win-win deal is the best choice. Why do something that could bring us to a stalemate?"

Even Addison, who was standing by

the side, also started to persuade him, "Mr. Chen, Bald Eagle Pharma is really good at producing medicines. With their help, your Sincere Medicine Center, and even

traditional Chinese medicine doctors

could be developed rapidly in

Micovia. Given such an opportunity,

you..." He said.

"Mr. Zhong, you have to understand. It's true that I am a businessman. However, I'm also a doctor, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor," Fade interrupted. "If you saw those patients in the sanatorium being used as trial subjects, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be saying this."

"I..." Addison was momentarily speechless.

Meyer's expression had darkened completely. He gritted his teeth again and said, "Fade, I really want to negotiate with you and intend to create a win-win situation for the both of us."

"Is that so?" Fade sneered. He then gently waved his left hand. He was releasing several surges of energy and hit the waists of the people behind Meyer. Their clothes were torn and their pistols were revealed "Why did you bring guns if you came here to talk, Mr. Meyer?" He asked coldly.

He already knew that they brought guns. Some of them were powerful fighters. They were obviously martial artists.

In that case, negotiating probably wasn't what they intended.

Meyer didn't expect Fade to be able

to see through this. He changed his expression and explained, "If s just self-protection. Carrying guns in Micovia isn't something surprising." "Oh really?" Fade asked. "How about that person hiding behind the stage? Are you saying that he's here just to observe?"

Meyer was shocked as soon as he heard those words. He instinctively turned his head towards the backstage area which was covered by a curtain.
