Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

" We've made more than 10,000,000 dollars in one minute ! " What ?! I turned and stared at the desktop screen as the figures in our account jumped higher and higher . My heart nearly stopped . Who could've imagined our drugs would become this popular ? " Great ! Once all our stock is sold , our next step is to monitor customer feedback . We need to respond instantly to every inquiry , complaint , and medical report , " I said , nodding and smiling . After handing out bonuses to my employees , I left the office .

With our balance replenished , it was time to purchase new formulae ahead of schedule . Metis ' dividends were about to soar . I wondered what she'd think when she saw the numbers . I called her as soon as I got into my car . The ringing went on longer than usual before the call finally connected . Her voice came through in broken fragments . " H - Hell ... Seba ... I ... " Wherever she was , the signal was terrible . " O Wise Goddess of Medicine , I can barely hear you , " I said , half - laughing . " You're cutting in and out ! Anyway , it's payday ! Send me your bank details .

I need to transfer your share . Your formulae are incredible . The drugs are selling like hotcakes ! I'd love to buy more from you , this time for different ailments- " The call cut off suddenly from her end . I frowned , staring at the phone . " Hello ? Hello ? Damn it . Where is she ? Still in Revaria ? " I muttered helplessly , then decided to text everything I'd said , just in case . Strangely , she never replied . A sharp knock on my window startled me again . I turned and froze . The face outside was familiar . It was one of Revaria's senior doctors .

I opened the door and gestured for him to come in . " Dr. Skye ! Good to see you . What brings you here ? " He looked more worn down than the last time we met . Deep lines cut across his face , and his eyes carried a heaviness that hadn't been there before . " Mr. Grimwald , I'm sorry to approach you like this , " Luke said , his voice tired and low . " But I've run out of options . You once mentioned wanting to buy formulae from us , didn't you ? Do you still want them ? " t He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose . " Some local hooligans started harassing my clinic . There were riots .

I had to shut it down and pay for the damages myself . But I still have a family to support . One of my kids is studying abroad ... So I was hoping to sell you a few of my formulae . " 1/2 Chapter 440 +25 Bonus I understood immediately . Luke looked genuinely defeated . Since I couldn't reach Metis , this could be a good opportunity . Luke wasn't a fraud . His formulae might not be as miraculous as Metis ' , but they were solid - trustworthy enough to work as expected . " Alright , that sounds good to me , " I said . " I want to help however I can , Dr. Skye .

I'm looking for new formulae for our next round of production anyway . If everything checks out , I'll pay you right away . " Instead of relief , Luke hesitated . His eyes flickered uneasily as he looked away . " Thank you . You're a good man , Mr. Grimwald . Here's what I've been working on ... " Sebastian leaned closer , listening carefully , completely unaware of the car pulling up beside his car . When the tinted window rolled down , a voice Sebastian knew all too well spoke up . Terry leaned out , smirking . " You think you've won , don't you ? Think again .
