Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: Siblings
"Does this medicine really work?"
Starlight Mansion, second floor.
In the general manager’s office.
Callum Cook sat next to the desk with a cigarette in his mouth.
While Ian Cook was dressed in a black long dress, looking at a bottle of green liquid on the table.
"According to the formula left by my father, it seems possible. I’ve had someone experiment with it, and there weren’t any problems for half a year."
She supported her chin with one hand and placed the other on the table.
"Ian, can this thing really work?"
Callum Cook was still unsure as he said, "The news is already out, and a lot of people are waiting to discuss partnerships with us. If there’s a problem with the medicine, the Cook Family will face disaster."
"Dad, listen to your daughter!"
Quamane Cook said with a carefree attitude, "Our Cook Family’s success today is all thanks to her! You’re getting on in years, just enjoy your peace and leave everything to her!"
He was originally just a local rich young master, but after Ian Cook married into a merchant family, his fortunes soared!
When one person gains power, it elevates everyone around them!
In Philbert, Quamane Cook had now become a domineering figure, committing all sorts of evil without fear, leaving the People of Philbert angry but unable to speak out.
In this family, he only listened to Ian Cook.
"But this matter is of great significance. Too many people outside are paying attention to our Cook Family, we can’t be sloppy!" Callum Cook took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Quamane Cook, "Have you contacted your brother?"
Since yesterday, Palmer Cook had been out of contact.
However, the Cook brothers were used to indulging themselves and often goofed around outside, so being unreachable was nothing new.
They didn’t pay it much mind.
"No! My brother doesn’t answer calls or texts, maybe he’s dead!"
Quamane Cook said with a chuckle.
"Tsk! You child, it’s my birthday today and you’re saying such unlucky things! Your brother has to live a long life!" Callum Cook shook his head helplessly, pulling out his phone to call Palmer Cook.
But still, no one answered the phone.
"How strange!" He murmured to himself, "Although that kid isn’t serious, he would always come back for my birthday."
"I think Laird Cook opened a theme restaurant in Gonzalez City, and Palmer went there to join the fun," Ian Cook spoke up, "Ask Laird."
"No one’s answering Laird’s phone either, could those two have been wiped out together?" Quamane Cook joked with a grin.
He was the youngest son in the family, spoiled to the point of lawlessness since childhood.
His speech was unrestrained.
"Alright, we’ll arrange for someone to look into it later. Dad, there’s a crowd waiting for you downstairs, you should go take a look," said Ian Cook as she picked up the medicine from the table and turned to leave the private room.
"Let’s go!"
Callum Cook stood up from his chair and straightened his suit.
His expression was serious.
But deep down, he was filled with joy.
All the distinguished and influential people had come to celebrate his birthday!
What an honor!
Leaving the private room, Ian Cook went to another room.
"A mud wall cannot be helped up; when necessary, consider wiping them all out!"
In the corner, a man was crouching.
"Brother."
Ian Cook’s tone was much softer.
She smiled, walked over, and crouched beside the man, "No matter what, the Cook Family has favored me with their care."
"If it weren’t for the fact that they raised you, I would have sent them to hell long ago!"
The man turned his head, looking at Ian Cook, "How’s the medicine?"
"According to the formula my father left behind, there is no problem! This kind of medicine can stimulate a person’s full potential in a short amount of time, essentially over-exerting one’s life."
Ian Cook’s face always carried a smile, "Brother, what have you been busy with lately? I’ve missed you."
After speaking, she leaned her head on the man’s shoulder.
"Recently I learned that the Divine Dragon Tripod might be with Shadow Gate," the man gently wrapped his arms around Ian Cook excitedly, "I’ve been searching for many years! Finally, I’ve discovered a lead! When the former boss of Shadow Gate defected, he might have taken the Divine Dragon Tripod with him!"
"Really?"
Ian Cook was equally excited.
"Then, wouldn’t our father be able to concoct the elixir of life?"
Upon hearing her words, the man’s mood instantly fell.
"Brother, what’s wrong?"
Ian Cook had a bad feeling.
"There’s something I’ve never told you." The man sighed and hung his head, "Father, he was killed."
"What!"
Ian Cook collapsed to the ground,
her gaze vacant.
After a long while, she blinked and said, "Brother, you must be joking with me, right? Father is the Medicine King! The king of Medicine King Valley! How could he possibly die!"
"So what if he’s the Medicine King?" The man gave a self-deprecating smile, "Even Supreme Elder Lazaro Ellsworth was killed! Father, compared to Lazaro Ellsworth, is not a small distance behind."
When it came to Father’s death, although he was somewhat saddened, he quickly covered it up.
"Who did it!"
Ian Cook asked in a low voice, clenching her teeth.
"Mad Dragon!"
The man stood up, facing the window, "When Father gave birth to us two, you were always fostered in the Cook Family while I have been undergoing training, and I also learned about the genius Medicine King’s secret. Father intended for you to live a peaceful life. Now that the Cook Family has absorbed the rival businesses, you no longer have to worry about food and clothes. I will take the revenge!"
"No!"
Ian Cook shouted with red eyes, "I must take revenge with my own hands!"
"I won’t stop you," the man said softly, "After all, he is also your father. But Mad Dragon is not easy to deal with, you better be careful."
"I don’t care who he is! Even if he is a true dragon, I will still pull out the dragon’s sinew, peel off the dragon’s skin!" Ian Cook’s fingernails dug deeply into her flesh.
"I’m leaving now."
The man sighed and turned around, "Do what you can, and remember, your brother is always here for you."
After saying that, he took out a pill from his pocket, "This thing can save your life at a critical moment."
"Brother!"
Ian Cook finally couldn’t hold back and rushed over to hug him.
She cried out loud,
"I couldn’t even attend Dad’s funeral."
"Haha." The man let out a cold laugh, "How ironic, Callum Cook is still celebrating his birthday over there."
After saying that, the man placed the pill in Ian Cook’s hand, "Once you take it, you’ll bleed from all orifices and feign death. You’ll wake up after a day."
Whoosh!
As soon as the voice fell,
the man leaped out with a jump and disappeared inside the private room.
"Brother..."
Looking at her brother’s retreating figure, Ian Cook’s eyes were filled with loss.
But then!
It turned into an overwhelming hatred!
"Mad Dragon!"
She silently recited this name in her heart.
"Mad Dragon... I must, I must kill you with my own hands!"
After saying that, she shakily took out a photo from her bosom.
A photo of the Medicine King.
She placed it on the table, then Ian Cook took out a bottle of wine and poured it on the ground.
Afterward, she knelt down and kowtowed.
By the time she walked out of the private room, there was no sign of sadness to be seen.
Starlight Mansion!
In the first-floor hall!
When Callum Cook descended the stairs with Quamane Cook!
The whole place erupted!
Countless people began to applaud!
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the star of today’s birthday celebration!
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday celebration."
Callum Cook slowly walked down the stairs, waving his hands.
"You shameless wretch, prepare to die!"
Suddenly, a man with a long knife rushed forward fiercely!
