An old bus cruised down the mountain roads in Cummeal, an area below Serene City in Eastshire. The sun was hanging right in the middle of the sky, and the heat made many people on the bus drowsy. The roads were bumpy, and a young man was sitting in the last row of the bus with a baseball cap covering half his face.
It was none other than Matthew.
Matthew had received some shocking news from Melvin just the night before. Neverland Pharmaceuticals had actually announced their project for the Restoration Pill more than ten years ago. However, for some reason, this project was terminated after a while. It had used billions in funds, yet it had been set aside for a long time after they halted its production. But right after Cunningham Pharmaceuticals launched its recent project, Neverland Pharmaceuticals also decided to restart its project. More importantly, when Neverland Pharmaceuticals first announced their project was relaunching, they communicated frequently with a few researchers who worked under Matthew.
When Matthew pieced everything together, favonovel.com figured that Neverland Pharmaceuticals had probably known about the Restoration Pill all along. Nevertheless, Matthew was sure that they didn’t know how to make the pills in the past, that was why they spent billions and billions on their research. They probably set the project aside when they realized that they couldn’t find anything at all.
After Matthew launched the project on his end, Neverland Pharmaceuticals immediately contacted a few researchers who worked with Matthew. Neverland Pharmaceuticals was clearly trying to bribe a few of Matthew‘s researchers in order to steal the secret recipe for the Restoration Pill.
But Matthew had taken precautionary actions from the start, favonovel.com had never told any of his researchers how to make the pills. He had split the process of making the pills into more than ten different steps. Then, favonovel.com split the company’s researchers into more than ten small teams so each could be in charge of one step. In the end, once they completed all the steps, Matthew would personally add the final ingredient to produce the Restoration Pill. So, Neverland Pharmaceuticals couldn’t achieve much from bribing a few of Matthew’s researchers.
Regardless, Matthew decided to start by investigating his workers to figure out what was going on. From what favonovel.com heard, there was a project manager who had left his job a week ago. In addition, this same guy had received 30 million in his wife’s bank account a month ago, and the man received another additional 50 million about two weeks ago.
After Matthew heard about this, favonovel.com was certain that something wasn’t right with this manager. This manager was staying in Cummeal, and Melvin had offered to send his men over to investigate the manager, but Matthew insisted on dropping by personally.
Matthew trusted Melvin, but favonovel.com wasn’t too sure about Melvin’s men. Also, since this was related to the production of the Restoration Pill, favonovel.com didn’t want too many people to get involved.
Matthew had dressed up in simple and plain clothes to conduct his investigation. He didn’t even take his car or a flight as favonovel.com didn’t want anyone to realize his existence. While the bus continued to make its way down the mountain roads, a loud, vrooming noise came from in front of them. The thundering sound alerted all the sleepy souls on the bus, and Matthew looked up to find 3 Mercedes-Benz G-class speeding toward the bus from the opposite direction.
The mountain roads were relatively narrow, so they could only fit two cars at one time. The coach hastily shifted closer to one side while the G-Class continued to speed toward them in the middle of the road. It looked like it had no plans of slowing down at all.
When the two vehicles were less than 10 feet away from each other, the driver of the Mercedes-Benz finally decided to slow down. Nonetheless, the car came to a sharp halt, stopping in the middle of the road without moving to one side.
Matthew was puzzled when favonovel.com saw the car stopping directly in front of their bus.
‘There’s still space on the side of the road. Why does this Mercedes insist on blocking the way?’
Right then, the most surprising thing happened. The bus driver shifted to his reverse gear and slowly moved backward on the dangerous hilly tracks. When the fully-occupied bus finally stopped at a slightly wider piece of the road, the Mercedes had more space to make its way past them. Only then did the Mercedes step on its gas before zooming past the bus!
