"So, my friends, the moment to witness a miracle is upon us!"
Edward took a syringe from his assistant and aimed it at Pete's carotid artery, injecting the contents.
The syringe contained half a tube of greenish liquid. As it was halfway injected, Pete began to react.
He suddenly lifted his head from his semi-conscious state.
As the remaining half of the green liquid was fully infused into Pete's body, a miracle, indeed, occurred.
Pete rose from his wheelchair!
His complexion visibly turned rosy, his back straightened, and his eyes became deep and bright. He showed no signs of being a late-stage cancer patient.
In fact, he appeared to have aged twenty years in an instant.
"Mr. Pete, how are you feeling now?" Edward asked with a smile.
"Better than I could possibly feel!" Pete's voice was loud and strong, full of vigor. "Apart from feeling a bit hungry, I don't feel any discomfort. I think I could eat a whole cow right now."
Contrary to Edward's expectations, the audience's reaction was not enthusiastic.
To be precise, it was not enthusiastic at all.
Everyone was staring with their mouths agape, and the entire venue was silent.
Edward's brow furrowed slightly, wondering if something had gone wrong.
However, in the next moment, someone started to cheer, and then the entire hall erupted in a thunderous ovation.
The crowd was swept up in a frenzy of excitement. To them, what they had just witnessed could not be described as a miracle, but a divine act!
The injection Edward had given the patient seemed less like medicine and more like magic.
The applause continued unabated, as if it would never stop.
A dying man, after receiving an injection, could instantly recover – it was utterly unbelievable.
However, since this was a product from Kangxing Company, there was no reason to doubt it.
After all, they were the second-largest pharmaceutical company in the world and would certainly not try to deceive people with stimulants. Moreover, no stimulant could achieve such results.
The patient's recovery was tangible and could not be faked!
"I told you, America is the best, the greatest!" the bearded man exclaimed triumphantly, his voice hoarse as he glared at the surrounding crowd.
Suddenly, Edward took center stage at the press conference hosted by Song Anran, making Kangxing Company shine and steal all the spotlight.
Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the plan had worked. Although it was a risky move, the objective had been achieved.
He raised his hands, signaling for quiet.
At that moment, he was like a god in the eyes of the audience. Seeing his gesture, the entire hall immediately fell silent.
"To prove the authenticity of this experiment, I will later release the relevant data and the patient's examination results. But for now, I believe everyone is very interested in this miraculous drug and has many questions. I will answer your questions here, but time is limited, and I will only spend half an hour answering questions, as today is Miss Song Anran's press conference, and she is the protagonist..."
Edward's move was a classic case of getting the best of both worlds, but the audience didn't care. While Song Anran's newly released transaminase was impressive, it paled in comparison to Kangxing Company's miraculous drug.
If Song Anran had created history, then undoubtedly, Mr. Edward of Kangxing Company had created a legend.
"Mr. Edward, what is the name of this drug, and when will it be available on the market?"
"Mr. Edward, what is the working principle of this miraculous drug?"
"Mr. Edward, what will be the price of this drug when it is launched? Is it developed for the wealthy, or can the poor afford it?"
"Mr. Edward, please..."
As soon as Edward finished speaking, questions poured in one after another.
"This drug does not yet have a formal name. The specific launch date and pricing will be announced at a later press conference. As the research and development costs for this product are quite high, the pricing will be determined after considering the market. However, please rest assured, I guarantee that everyone, regardless of their wealth, will be able to afford it..."
As Edward was answering questions, Chen Xiao quietly left the venue.
In the vast conference hall with over ten thousand attendees, no one paid attention to his departure. But when he returned, he captured everyone's attention...
This was because Chen Xiao walked onto the stage without any prior announcement or introduction from Edward.
His appearance was quite abrupt.
When Edward noticed Chen Xiao, he immediately signaled his assistant with his eyes to have him removed.
The assistant quickly brought over several burly bodyguards to escort him away, but Chen Xiao slapped them both away with two swift blows.
The sudden turn of events left everyone bewildered again.
They exchanged glances, catching the confusion in each other's eyes. This press conference was proving to be very interesting, with twists and turns!
"Who are you? Are you here to cause trouble? Please have the event staff maintain order and remove this troublemaker!"
Edward maintained his composure. Despite his assistant and bodyguards being hit, he did not appear overly agitated.
Frankly, he didn't take Chen Xiao seriously.
The event staff, however, paid no heed to his words. Knowing he was there to present Kangxing Company's new drug, they were already quite displeased. But since Song Anran had remained silent, they hadn't intervened. Now, with Chen Xiao's unexpected appearance, they were more interested in watching the drama unfold than in removing him.
Chen Xiao looked at Edward and smiled faintly, saying, "You asked who I am, right? Very well, I'll tell you. I'm here to expose your true face!"
"I want everyone to know that your so-called cancer treatment is nothing but a trick to turn patients into monsters!"
At these words, the entire hall erupted in an uproar. Turning patients into monsters – what was going on?
The bearded American scoffed, "See? The Chinese are starting to slander. They can never admit that they are inferior to others! They only deceive themselves and then smear others!"
No one paid attention to him, as everyone could see that the young man who had just appeared on stage was clearly prepared.
Moreover, the drug Edward had just administered was truly unbelievable and highly irregular.
All the reporters became tense, holding up their cameras and microphones. All lenses were focused on the stage, and they furiously pressed the shutter buttons.
Edward's expression changed slightly, and his gaze turned cold.
He looked at Chen Xiao and asked in a chilling tone, "Kid, what exactly do you want?"
"I've already said it, I'm here to expose your true face!"
With that, Chen Xiao took a bunch of cilantro from his pocket...
