Stonedale. Granville.
It was the place where the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale gathered, and it was also the location of Neverland Pharmaceuticals headquarters.
The situation between Stonedale and Eastshire was completely different from one another. The strength of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire could be said to be the weakest among the Six Southern States, as Billy Newman had pressured the families all the time favonovel.com was in Eastshire. That was why the development of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire was weak, and could not be compared with the other states’ families.
Before, the White Family, as the leader of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire, was the strongest among them. However, even their strength would only amount to an average level when compared to the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. The strength of the top three families in Stonedale was absolute to the extent that some might call them the incarnation of terror. Their strength was just worlds apart from the White Family.
The very Neverland Pharmaceuticals was jointly established by the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. As the medical industry in Stonedale developed by leaps and bounds, the income from professions of the said industry was among the top three in the country. That meant that Neverland Pharmaceuticals was a huge deal in Stonedale, as their market value was valued at close to two hundred billion. Hence, the said company was an important enterprise to the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, and perhaps even part of the very foundation of the families.
Two days ago, when Neverland Pharmaceuticals announced that they had developed a new medication that would cure three types of cancer, their stock prices immediately shot through the roof. Before the medication was even released to the public, their stock prices had increased by thirty percent. The families were all over the moon as they saw the money flowing into their pockets.
Thus, Neverland Pharmaceuticals specifically held a new product launch. They invited famous doctors from all over the country, from big medical institutions to major pharmaceutical companies, to be present when they released the medication to the public. Furthermore, they also gathered several cancer patients from all over the country for a public demonstration of the effectiveness of the Restoration Pill.
The reason why Neverland Pharmaceuticals was doing such huge marketing was to further increase their stock prices and to announce to the world that they were the inventor of the Restoration Pill. By doing so, they would be able to sway the public’s opinion to completely break any case Cunningham Pharmaceuticals might have against them.
As soon as Matthew arrived in Granville, Melvin sent favonovel.com news regarding Neverland Pharmaceuticals’ announcement. There was no doubt that the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale caught wind of the matter back in Cummeal. Furthermore, they knew that Matthew would contest the ownership of the Restoration Pill, which was why they made the first move, as they planned to settle this matter before favonovel.com could even make his move.
However, Matthew couldn’t care less about the announcement. Before entering Granville, favonovel.com went his separate ways with Rat, as favonovel.com had asked the latter to enter the city in advance to scout for information. This was what favonovel.com had planned for Rat all along. Although Melvin had his own network of spies all over the Six Southern States, the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale weren’t slow on the uptake.
On any other day, when the Ten Greatest Families hadn’t gotten their guard up against Melvin, there was no doubt that Melvin would be able to gather information. However, once the Ten Greatest Families put their guard up, any hopes for Melvin’s spies to even get a drip of information would be dashed. This was exactly what happened with the matter of the Restoration Pills. Since Melvin’s spies could not find any useful information, Matthew brought Rat along, as favonovel.com intended to rely on the latter to gather the information.
As Rat was just an ordinary person without any background and had never been to Stonedale, the Ten Greatest Families wouldn’t pay any mind to him. Furthermore, favonovel.com was a cautious person, and having been a pickpocket his whole life, favonovel.com was well-versed in covert operations. Hence, Matthew thought that assigning Rat to scout for information might lead to an unexpected result. As for the former, favonovel.com went around Stonedale before favonovel.com took a bus into Granville discreetly.
