Chapter 147: Rush!
"The majority of the Tronic Group's businesses belong to the real estate sector at the Death Gate Academy, and I have not heard of the Tronic Group having its own research and development team of Chemists," Instructor Humphrey said.
"It is very costly to set up a research and development team of Chemists. With Tronic Group's limited financial resources, they can't even afford to pay for a master Chemist. The authenticity of this enhanced Atomic Serum is yet to be proven," said Hue Podell.
Besides its authenticity, everyone was also clueless as to the origin of the enhanced Atomic Serum. After hearing about the emergence of the enhanced Atomic Serum, the big consortiums and the large enterprises started looking into the background of the Tronic Group.
Almost all of the secrets of the Tronic Group had been dug up during this investigation. Those secrets included how many mistresses the current General Manager, Briston, had, whose house he stayed over at last night, and how many times he had enjoyed sexual relations in the past month. Obviously, there was no privacy at all!
However, the result of the investigation on the enhanced Atomic Serum was that it appeared as if out of thin air, which naturally made the so-called enhanced Atomic Serum seem to be less than credible.
As such, many enterprises, big consortiums, and the top families did not bother to come to the auction. Only some enterprises and top families in the Death Gate City had come to join in the excitement, or to look at how the Tronic Group was going to make fools of themselves.
In the face of all these doubts, Nicolas was very nervous. However, he somehow was able to appear to be very calm.
"It is true that the enhanced Atomic Serum was not developed by the Tronic Group. It was placed on auction by Mr. Fiend. As to who Mr. Fiend is, he is either a person or a team, but on that regard, even the Tronic group is unclear," Nicolas explained, after clearing his throat.
The crowd did not believe what Nicolas said, but he had expected that. He then calmly said, "I think everyone here has some doubts about the serum. However, Tronic Group guarantees its credibility. It is absolutely genuine, and we even have proof of its authenticity."
Swipe!
As Nicolas flicked a finger, an electronic document flew out and floated in the air.
"This is the Alchemy Guild's patented certification of the enhanced Atomic Serum. It contains a detailed description of the enhanced Atomic Serum's efficacy, as well as a detailed report of all data and results. If you do not believe us, you can now go to the Chemists Guild's website to see for yourself."
Immediately, all of the representatives present had a change in their facial expressions. There was an uproar among the crowd, as the collective opinion was that, even though the Tronic Group might fake results, the Chemists Guild would not!
The credibility of the Chemists Guild had been built up over thousands of years, so it would certainly not allow any internal fraud to exist. Even the top families and the big consortiums did not have the capacities to bribe the Chemists Guild!
If the Chemists Guild patent certification was real, it showed that the enhanced Atomic Serum had a probability of being more than 90% true! Upon hearing this, all at once, the important guests at the scene began to visit the Chemists Guild website to verify the authenticity of the patent certification.
"It's real! There is really a patent certification for the enhanced Atomic Serum! In fact, it just got certified today!"
"Send the report to the masters to verify it!"
"The patent certification from the Chemists Guild cannot be faked!"
…....
Those big enterprises and top families, who originally came to see a joke at the auction, were suddenly seething with excitement. The Chemists Guild patent certification was real, and it had just been approved!
At this moment, in the State of Newtone, at the Donald Pharmaceutical Group headquarters…
"Hingata, what the hell is going on here?" Donson jumped up, as he looked at the patent certification, totally devoid of the calmness that usually was possessed by top management personnel. The anxious look on his face made him look insane.
Hingata stared at the report, his eyes almost bulging out. His face reddened with emotions and his veins on his neck thickened with blood.
After a good while, he said in disbelief, "It's real! The report is real! The patent certification is also real! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! We spent so many years and were unable to overcome this difficult problem!
The Fiend actually did it perfectly, as if God had created a miracle!"
After all of the excitement died down a bit, the master Chemist, Hingata, looked like a deflated ball. He was seated motionless in a chair, feeling lost.
They had spent such a great amount of effort, all throughout previous generations to his generation, working for more than two hundred years, constantly researching on how to strengthen the efficacy of the Atomic Serum. It was also via the efforts of the Donald Group that allowed the Atomic Serum to be continuously purified.
This resulted in the birth of a 50% increase in the efficacy of the perfect grade.
But now, the results of the Donald Group's efforts were completely rubbish, at least when compared to the enhanced Atomic Serum that had been created by Tyrion! It was precisely because of this negative impact that Master Hingata was in such a great emotional upheaval.
Donson did not even have the heart to scold the research team now, as he just wanted to lay his hands on that enhanced Atomic Serum! After all, whoever had access to the enhanced Atomic Serum would have control over the future of mankind!
