Morgana departed without sensing any peculiarities, but her exit signaled a moment of relief for bothCharlie and Maria. The night had taken its toll on those who remained awake, they were now battling theembrace of drowsiness, their eyelids fighting to close.
Several individuals hurried back to the tent, seeking refuge and rest. The weight of a sleepless night hadleft Hector feeling drained. He addressed Charlie and Maria, compassionately suggesting they return tothe tent and rest. They had a fifteen-kilometer journey to Erdaogou scheduled for the afternoon and heoffered to accompany them if they desired.
Charlie shook his head, explaining they had other plans. Maria’s curiosity was piqued and she inquiredabout their destination. With a nonchalant demeanor, Charlie revealed, “We’re heading to Baisha toenjoy a few days there.”
Their next destination lay in the southwestern border of the southern province and their choice of Baishawas a calculated move, a measure to mitigate risks.
Hector approved, sharing a smile, “We’ve been to Baisha, it’s a stunning place. You two enjoy yourselvesthere.”
As the conversation continued, Hector became increasingly aware of their imminent departure. Regrettinged Shiann’s words, “I thought I’d have a few more days with you. It’s unexpected that you’re leavingso soon. I wonder if we’ll ever meet again.”
Shiann was acutely conscious of the fleeting nature of life, cherishing these newfound connections. Shefelt the brevity of existence, dreading the finality of parting.
Sensing Shiann’s unease, Hector held her gently, reassuring her, “Don’t dwell on it. Fate has its way ofweaving our paths.”
Maria glanced at Charlie, her lips pursed, a silent exchange revealing her thoughts.
Charlie, attuned to Maria’s unspoken desires, explained to them, “We’d appreciate it if Hector and Shianncould see us off.”
Hector readily agreed, “Of course, we’ll see you off.”
Hector offered to pack the tent for them, but Nathalia declined, suggesting they leave it for those whomight need it.
Maria hesitated briefly before mustering the courage to ask, “George, could we take the tent? It mightcome in handy in the future.”
George, recognizing the practicality of her request, assented, “Alright, let’s take it.”
Hector joined in, “I’ll help you with that.”
They carefully packed the tent and Hector couldn’t resist teasing George, “You set up the tent yesterdayfor nothing. Didn’t even get a wink of sleep.”
Nathalia chuckled, “I didn’t anticipate everyone having such a great time and staying up all night.”
With the tent stowed away, Hector offered to carry the floor mat and sleeping bag for them, leading thequartet towards the mountain’s base.
As they descended from Guibei Mountain, they found themselves alone on the short mountain path.Nathalia initiated a more private conversation with Hector and Shiann, disclosing, “By the way, Hector,Shiann, you mentioned Oracle Pharmaceutical yesterday. It’s a sensitive topic, so I couldn’t discuss it infront of everyone.”
Intrigued, Hector questioned, “What’s the mystery behind it?”
Nathalia unveiled the connection, “I have a connection with Oracle Pharmaceutical. I know the person incharge quite well. If you’re interested in getting a shot at the Oracle Healing Salve Pill experiment, I can
put in a good word for you.”novelbin
The revelation left Hector and Shiann astonished. Hector couldn’t help but ask, “George, are youserious? You know the person in charge at Oracle Pharmaceutical?”
George, solemn in his response, stated, “This is a matter of importance. I wouldn’t joke about it.”
Hector, still in disbelief, inquired, “Which department do you work in?”
Nathalia clarified, “I’m acquainted with the person in charge of the entire Oracle Pharmaceutical, LiamWeaver. He oversees the clinical trials of the Oracle Healing Salve Pills. Given my rapport with him, Ishould be able to secure two spots.”
The news was astounding, as Liam’s name was widely recognized. Hector and Shiann both knew hewas the CEO of Oracle Pharmaceutical, the decision-maker for all significant matters, including theallocation of Oracle Healing Salve Pill test slots. This man’s generosity was legendary, sticking to apoints-based system even when faced with substantial bribes.
Liam rarely met with anyone, keeping his interactions limited to dealers and suppliers. For most, securinga meeting with him was an impossible task, let alone asking for assistance.
Hector, overwhelmed by the revelation, couldn’t hide his enthusiasm, exclaiming, “George, you’re notkidding, are you? You know Mr. Weaver?”
Nathalia affirmed, “Yes, I do. You’re in a unique situation and I wouldn’t joke about something thiscrucial.”
Hector, determined to believe George, responded fervently, “Alright! Let’s check the availability of theflight from Dali to Aurous Hill! Bobby, whether this works out or not, we’re deeply grateful!”
Nathalia’s smile reflected his appreciation, “You don’t need to thank me just yet. Save that for when yousecure the spot. Look up the flight and jot down my number. When you reach Aurous Hill, give me a callat the Oracle Pharmaceutical factory gate and I’ll take care of the rest.”
The disbelief in Hector and Shiann’s eyes was apparent, yet Hector decided to put his trust in George,promising, “Alright, we’ll check the flights now! Bobby, no matter what happens, thank you sincerely!”
Nathalia responded, “You’re welcome, but let’s focus on the task at hand. Don’t mention this to anyoneelse, as it’s a bit of a backdoor approach and wouldn’t be appropriate to make public.”
Hector eagerly agreed, “No worries, we won’t speak a word with anyone!”
George, remembering something, advised, “Also, if you can find James Smith in Aurous Hill, have himbring his son to Oracle Pharmaceutical with you. Liam will handle everything.”
The four of them walked together in the direction of the mountain’s foot, while Hector and Shianncontemplated this unexpected opportunity.
