"You...you can't kill me! I...I have powerful backers! If I die, you won't get away with it either!" Overstan seemed to have grasped at the last straw, trying to use this final threat to save his precarious life.
Liu Feng merely sneered disdainfully: "No matter who's behind you, they can't save you today. I'm looking forward to them going to hell with you."
Upon hearing this, Overstan felt a chill run from his feet to the top of his head, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.
He racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what Liu Feng was relying on to dare to be so unscrupulous.
In his panic, a thought suddenly struck him, and he forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Mr. Liu... I'm afraid you've misunderstood this time. I've invited you to the island many times because I wanted to work with you on a great cause, not because I covet the achievements of the Longevity Pharmaceutical Factory. Because... because we have also developed a drug to delay aging."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng turned to Cui Dazhuang and said, "Let him go and let him explain himself. I want to hear what kind of nonsense he has to come up with."
Cui Dazhuang did as he was told, put down Overstan, and then scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, shouting loudly, "Everyone, get back ten meters away!" Although the subordinates surrounding him were unwilling, they dared not disobey and could only slowly retreat.
Overstan rubbed his neck, which was throbbing from being pinched, coughed twice, and suppressed his fear as he continued, "Money and power are things we can easily obtain. Immortality and eternal wealth are our ultimate goals. We have already developed a drug that can slow down aging. If we cooperate, with the resources and technology of the Longevity Pharmaceuticals, we will surely go further down this path. At that time, endless wealth and eternal life will be ours. Mr. Liu, Mr. He, this is a once-in-a-lifetime, mutually beneficial opportunity for us."
After saying that, a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes as he stared intently at Liu Feng, trying to find any sign of relenting on the other's face.
Liu Feng frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, but he did not answer immediately.
Cui Dazhuang scoffed dismissively, "Hmph, do you think we'd believe your nonsense? Who knows if you're telling the truth or not? Maybe it's just another trap you've set."
Overstein quickly replied, "Everything I said is true! To show my sincerity, I'm willing to show you samples of our anti-aging drug research first."
Liu Feng said coldly, "Take us to see."
Overstan led them to an underground laboratory. Upon entering, a pungent, putrid smell of chemicals assaulted their nostrils, making their stomachs churn.
On the dark and damp walls, a few dim and flickering lights barely dispelled the darkness, but the light was like will-o'-the-wisps, only illuminating the eerie outlines of the surroundings, adding a touch of gloom and terror to the entire space.
All around were various strangely shaped instruments, emitting eerie buzzing sounds and occasional crackling of electricity.
On the lab table were tubes of red liquid, shimmering eerily under the dim light. This was the anti-aging drug Overstein had mentioned, the Rejuvenation Injection.
Upon closer inspection, some unidentified impurities seemed to be slowly moving inside the tubes filled with red liquid, sending chills down one's spine.
