Keith and Christian quickly invited them into Ark Building. They then took the elevator from the roof to the top floor. Once they got out of the elevator, Keith brought Merlin into the conference room directly.
All the Acker family members, both young and old, were waiting in the conference room. According to Lord Acker’s intention, they were planning to thank Kathleen in person.
Keith pushed the conference room door open, and all the Acker family members stood up one after the other. However, what they did not expect was that it would be Merlin, who had a close friendship with the Acker family, instead of Kathleen who would come in behind him!
The moment they saw Merlin, the Acker family members were instantly shocked.
Everyone could not believe their eyes.
This was because they firmly believed that Merlin was dead since he had been implicated by the Acker family.
Therefore, now that Merlin was suddenly appearing in front of them, the Acker family members seemed to have lost their ability to think.
Lady Acker stepped forward in disbelief at this moment and asked Lord Acker, “Keith, is this... is this really Merlin?! Am I dreaming or have I gone insane?”
“It’s Merlin!” Keith said excitedly, “It’s really Merlin! He’s not dead! Miss Fox sent him back!”
Only then did everyone see Kathleen, who had walked in from behind.
Lady Acker was surprised and delighted. She looked at Kathleen and asked, “Miss Fox, can you tell us what’s going on? Didn’t our benefactor say that Merlin could not be saved anymore at the time of the incident?”
Kathleen said truthfully, “At that time, your benefactor found that Chief Lammy’s brain was not dead, but he felt that Chief Lammy could not be saved due to his excessive physical injuries. However, he could not bear to see Chief Lammy die in vain, so he wanted to save Chief Lammy’s brain first before finding a way to save him...”
The Acker family members were dumbfounded when they heard this. No one could figure out what was the use of preserving Merlin’s brain when he was basically already physically disabled.
“How... How is this possible?!” Christian felt as if his worldview had been completely subverted and blurted out, “Is this some form of black magic?”
Merlin shook his head and said, “It’s not any form of black magic. It’s truly a kind of pill.”
With that said, Merlin reminded him, “Don’t forget how I didn’t believe you at all when you told me about the Rejuvenating Pill.”
“That’s right!” Christian suddenly came back to his senses and blurted out, “The Rejuvenating Pill can not only cure all kinds of diseases but can also make people younger by ten to twenty years. It sounds unbelievable, but only people who have seen its medicinal effects with their own eyes will know how amazing this pill really is...”
Having said that, he hurriedly looked at Merlin and said seriously, “This pill that you ate is even more amazing! Surprisingly, it can even bring the dead back to life and restore all the injuries that your body has suffered. This... This is truly a miracle!”
Lady Acker asked Kathleen with some excitement, “Miss Fox, you said that our benefactor is here in New York. I wonder if you can convey a request to him on my behalf and let him know that all the Acker family members are very grateful to him for saving our lives, so I hope that I’ll have the opportunity to thank him in person!”
