Hanson glared at Martin gloomily. Hearing his words, Hanson asked, "What are you doing, Martin?"
"I'm curing our father's illness," Martin said.
Hanson snorted coldly, "Cure? You are gambling with our father's life!"
Martin's face sank but still he sternly said, "If something goes wrong, I will bear full responsibility."
"You, how dare you..." Hanson was very angry.
At that moment, Fade quickly pierced Fenrir's body with a dozen silver needles.
The Old Master, Fenrir, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Taking in the sight, everyone's gaze shifted.
Hanson excitedly said, "Father has vomited blood. Martin, do you still believe in this kid? Hurry up and chase this liar out."
Martin was also nervous at the moment. His eyes were fixed on Old Master and Fade.
Just as the security guards rushed over to remove Fade, Fade pulled out the silver needles from Old
Master and asked, "Old Master, how do you feel?"
Old Master wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. Then, taking a long breath, he said, "I feel so much better."
"Seize him!" At that moment, Hanson commanded the security guard to capture Fade.
However, before Martin could respond, the bedridden Old Master shouted, "What are you all doing?"
"Father, you..." Hanson was shocked to see his unconscious father wide awake.
Martin and Sasha also hurriedly gathered around the old master. They greeted him.
"Father, how do you feel?"
"Grandfather, are you all right?"
Overwhelmed by their concern, Old Master smiled and said, "I feel so much better. I have never felt so comfortable in the past few years ever since I fell ill."
With that, Old Master turned his gaze to Fade with a curious expression on his face. He began to ask, "This is..."
Sasha hurriedly explained, "Grandfather, this is Fade, Dr. Chen. It was my father and I who specially invited him to see you."
"Dr. Chen, what a young and promising man! At such a young age, you have already mastered such superb medical skills, that's great!" Commended the Old Master with a smile. He was in good spirits.
Fade struck the iron while it was hot and said, "Master Li, I can guarantee that I can cure your illness. As long as..."
Speaking of that, Fade looked at Martin and Sasha.
The two of them understood his intention. They explained to the Old Master that what Fade needed in exchange was the Fire Blame Plant.
After hearing that, the Old Master was silent for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Fade, and said, "As long as you can cure my disease, be it the Fire Blame Plant or half of our Li family's assets, I am willing to hand it over."
Fade nodded and said, "Master Li, you are too generous. I need the Fire Blame Plant urgently so it's a bit abrupt."
Fade did not leave the Li family's house immediately, but went to the study room with Martin and Sasha.
Martin handed the contract to Fade. He told him, "Dr. Chen, this is the contract we have written according to the terms we have agreed to previously. Please take a look at it and sign it if there are no issues with it."
Fade knew that the Li family was a business-orientated family. Therefore, they would sign contracts for any agreement.
Fade was happy to do so. After all, oral agreements could easily cause misunderstandings and entanglements.
Therefore, Fade studied the contract carefully.
The contents of the contract were not a lot, and were exactly just about the agreed terms they had previously agreed to, like the Life Elixir Wine formula, the treatment of Fenrir, and the Fire Blame Plant.
Fade did not find any problem with it. However, he was iffy about the time required to acquire the Fire Blame Plant. He pointed it out and asked, "Mr. Li, this statement says that you promise to deliver the Fire Blame Plant to me within a week after Master Li's illness has been cured.."
"Why must it take a week? Can't it be delivered right away? I urgently need the Fire Blame Plant," Fade enquired.
Martin explained, "Dr. Chen, the thing is we bought the Fire Blame Plant at an auction in Earlington earlier on. At that time, my father was also in Earlington and was treated by the royal doctors there."
"Therefore, after the Fire Blame Plant became our possession, it has always remained in our Li family's home in Earlington.
"Several formal procedures have to be undertaken in order to transport the Fire Blame Plant back from Earlington. Therefore, I have estimated that it will require a week."
"After all, that is a treasured herbal medicine worth twenty billion U.S. dollars. It is not easy to get it through the customs. Maybe there will be some delays too."
Fade couldn't help but frown when he heard that. Obviously, he wanted to get his hands on the Fire Blame Plant immediately. However, given that the herbal medicine was not in Jade City, there wasn't much that he could do. He could only nod and agree, "I understand, I will sign this contract. However, I hope that the Li family can take action as soon as possible. I need the Fire Blame Plant for urgent use."
Martin patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry about it, Dr. Chen. I'll give a call to someone in Earlington immediately to get them to start with the transport process. Our family will bring back the Fire Blame Plant as soon as possible. Then, we'll give it to you, Dr. Chen."
