Ryden took a brief pause, a smile spreading across his face once more.

“Ms. Silva, over there are some of Elaria’s most influential business leaders. I’d like to take you over to meet them. It will offer many advantages for your company.”

He then shot a dismissive look at Robin. “As for your insignificant friends, you can find other times to chat

with them.

“Ms. Silva, in the world of business, profit is always the priority. Let’s go over and have a look. With the support of my family, they’ll open up more market opportunities for you.”

Vera’s expression immediately hardened. “Mr. Ryden, you need to watch your words.

“My friends are not the kind of people you can compare to those conglomerates. Elaria may be large, but it doesn’t matter to me. Please leave.”

Aeron’s face also tightened in displeasure. He hadn’t expected Vera to speak to his son in such a way.

“Ms. Silva, Ryden is trying to help you. I suggest you consider the benefits carefully. Do you really want the Silva Group to succeed in the future?”

Vera responded coldly, “Mr. Valthar, what exactly are you implying?

“Did you not catch my meaning?

“I don’t engage in pointless conversations with people who are irrelevant.”

“You … ” Aeron’s eyes narrowed, his anger rising. “Ms. Silva, are you being deliberately rude? We are offering our assistance, and this is how you treat us?

“If you believe your Silva Group doesn’t need our help, we can end our agreement right now!”

“Dad, please don’t get so upset,” Ryden said, softening his tone as he turned to Vera. “Ms. Silva, let’s be clear. Since our last two meetings, you’ve left a strong impression on me.

“I wanted to help your business connect with more of our country’s top figures, but I must admit I have other reasons as well.

“I was hoping to build a closer relationship with you and perhaps even work together. This is an opportunity for you, after all, Tobreoca Biotechs is one of Elaria’s largest corporations.

“Marrying into my family would be an honor beyond compare for you!”

Vera snapped, her anger rising, “That’s ridiculous! Even if you begged me on your knees, I still wou marry into your family!

“Do you really think that if I leave your family’s business, I won’t be able to sell my medical equipment anymore?!”

“Fine,” Ryden sneered.

“Let me make it clear. The previous batch of custom contracts is worth one billion, I am announcing the termination of our cooperation right now!

“And as for the seven billion dollars‘ worth of products from Silva Group, my company will refuse payment due to quality issues!” noveldrama

“Haha!” Daphne suddenly burst into laughter. “Is that so, Mr. Valthar?”

Aeron finally noticed that Daphne West, the Enchanting Queen of Harmonfield, was also at the scene.

After a brief moment of surprise, he quickly regained his composure. “Ms. West, you’re here too.”

Daphne laughed so hard. “Just now, Mr. Ryden made some bold statements. You owe the Silva Group seven billion, and I believe you’ll be transferring every penny to Ms. Silva!”

“Are you threatening me?” Aeron’s expression gradually grew colder. “Ms. West, remember, this isn’t Harmonfield. When it comes to Sogas, your opinion doesn’t matter.”

“Is that so? Haha!” Daphne laughed mockingly, “We’ll see about that! I hope you’re still as tough then as you are now, and not on your knees!

“By then, it might not be just about seven billion. It could be much worse, whether Tobreoca Biotechs even survives is uncertain.”

Aeron scoffed. “Ms. West, you really have a sense of humor. My family has thrived for a century, and we’re not easily scared! Hmph!”

He then looked at Vera. “Ms. Silva, are you sure about this?”

“Get lost!” Vera shot back.

A cold glint appeared in Aeron’s eyes.

He turned and walked away with Ryden toward the opposite side of the cruise ship restaurant.

Vera returned to her seat, noticing Robin was engrossed in his phone.

“Is the drug the Valthars mentioned called Glenoril?” Robin asked, pointing to a video on his phone. “It really is a massive profit, 40,000 per bottle!”

Daphne nodded. “Yes, it’s said that patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia only have two options. One is bone marrow transplants, but finding a match is tough and the cost is astronomical.

“The other option is lifelong medication, like Glenoril. With this drug, they live like normal people. It’s a lifesaver, which is why it’s so expensive, and the profit margins are huge.”

Robin frowned. “The research and development costs must be incredibly high, but it’s a heavy burden for ordinary people to rely on this drug to stay alive.

“The monthly cost ranges from 40,000 to 80,000, which is no small sum.”

Rita sighed. “Not long ago, a man named Damari Yount in the country bought a generic version of Glenoril from Criele through Elaria’s connections for just 200 dollars, helping save many lives.

“They say, it works exactly like the real drug, but without the patent.

“Eventually, Damari was arrested for selling fake drugs, and the authorities even managed to shut down the generic drug factory in Criele.”

“Is that true?” Robin asked, slightly puzzled.

“From what I know, international intellectual property laws tend to take a more humanitarian approach when it comes to items that directly impact people’s lives like medicine. If certain departments are acting like this, it’s too extreme.

“As long as it’s saving lives, legal concerns shouldn’t be the main focus.

Vera shouted in frustration, “Some individuals claim to be upholding justice by fighting fake medications and safeguarding public interests, but in reality, they are only working for their own benefit!

“For instance, countries like Criele and Elaria are exploiting the gray areas of international intellectual property law to produce low–cost versions of expensive life–saving drugs and sell them.

“I’ve heard that patients from certain developed countries in Western Uropean and Northern Escea travel to their nations to purchase these medicines,

“They are permitted to do so there, and in the medical field, such actions are mostly tolerated, as they are meant to save lives.

“I refuse to believe that those greedy agents in this country are immune to illness!

“Laws are created by humans. Can the law truly be more important than humanity and life?”

Robin was confused. “Isn’t insurance already covering it? Won’t that solve the cost issue?”

Vera shook her head. “The higher–ups have put in a lot of work, negotiating with the agents multiple times. Even though the price has been lowered significantly, each bottle still costs more than 20,000, which is a huge difference compared to those 200–dollar generic versions.”

Robin thought for a moment. “This is definitely a serious issue, but maybe with a bit more effort, we can find a solution.”
