Chapter 41: I Want Them All

The Harper family was considered a second-rate family in Jackville City. Although they were on par with the White Family in terms of status, their leader, Joaquin Harper, held the title of the largest wholesaler of medicinal materials in the city, controlling nearly 80% of the market. But today, Joaquin was in a foul mood. He sat on the sofa, glaring at the man and woman kneeling before him. His voice dripped with anger as he spat out, "Fazal Zade, that scoundrel! He dared to lay a hand on my son—he deserves to die!" Joaquin's rage was palpable. Normally, he and Fazal shared a friendly relationship, but he never imagined that Fazal would be so ruthless, beating his son and daughter-in-law to such a state. "Dad!" Satisha's face was swollen and bruised, streaked with blood. He looked utterly wretched, his eyes filled with venom. "The worst part is that little bastard! I have no idea how he managed to get Fazal to side with him!" "But what's even more infuriating is that he took away Mr. Naoki and humiliated our Harper family!" "Dad, you have to avenge me! You can't let that little scum, Tacito Temple, get away with this!" Satisha's voice trembled with resentment. Beside him, Nicole wept bitterly, adding, "Dad, the beating is one thing, but the real loss is that Emperor Attire! According to Mr. Naoki, it's worth 10 million dollars! It's Catherine's most iconic creation!" "If we can get our hands on it, the Harper family's name would be recognized internationally!" Emperor Attire! Joaquin's heart pounded at the thought, his eyes gleaming with greed. Despite the Harper family's substantial business, their annual net profit was only a few million dollars. This Emperor Attire was worth two years of profit, and Joaquin was clearly tempted. Just as he was lost in thought, his phone rang. Joaquin picked it up, surprised to see the name on the screen. "Hotah White? Wasn't he kicked out of the White Family? What nerve he has to call me now!" Despite his slight irritation, Joaquin answered the call. Satisha and Nicole noticed their father's initially stern expression soften into something more incredulous. Then, as if struck by a revelation, Joaquin stood up from his seat, his face alight with excitement. "Dad! What did he say?" Satisha asked urgently. Joaquin took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. "We're in luck! The Harper family is about to rise to new heights!" His face flushed with excitement, Joaquin quickly explained, "Hotah just told me that Tacito Temple has the prescription for the Resurrection Pill! This pill is a special treatment for the recent outbreak of AS pneumonia!" "What?" Satisha and Nicole were stunned. AS pneumonia had become a terrifying and highly contagious disease in Jackville City. Anyone who controlled the treatment would be sitting on a goldmine. The idea that Tacito not only possessed the Emperor Attire but also this life-saving prescription was beyond belief. "Dad! What are you planning to do?" Satisha's excitement was palpable. If the Harper family could get their hands on that prescription, they could dominate the pharmaceutical industry in Jackville City. The authorities would have to take notice, the public would be in their debt, and wealth and prestige would follow. The potential benefits were limitless. "Hahaha!" Joaquin's laugh was maniacal, his expression twisted with greed. "Tacito, you may think you're just a worthless son-in-law, but I see you as a treasure trove for the Harper family!" "Your prescription, your Emperor Attire, they will all be mine!"
