fool.


    Chapter 1046 It was not that Richard and the others were gullible or easy to


    It was just that the offer Andrew hadid on the table was simply too tempting to


    resist.


    These two miracle supplements were not just on the radar of the Five Apex Familieseven the Three Titans of the capital were probably drooling over them.


    Meanwhile, Andrew was not just a middlemanhe was the one holding the cards. If his words did not stir the room, then nobody else''s would even matter.


    "Mr.


    Golding Senior, transferring funds this early? Isn''t that a little too soon?" Andrew said, looking hesitant.


    Richard waved it off with a generous tone.


    "What''s the problem? Mr.


    Lloyd, don''t worry.


    This 100 million isn''t about the dealit''s simply my way of building friendships.


    Even if you end up not working with the Golding family, just consider this a goodwill gift between friends." As head of one of the Five Apex Families, Richard''s words and actions naturally carried extra weight Andrew gave a warm smile.


    "We''ll definitely be getting the rights to produce or sell the pills.


    It''s just a matter of timing." Richard immediately said, "That''s all I needed to hear.


    I''ll just wait for your good news, Mr.


    Lloyd.


    Now,e ongive me yourpany''s wire details so I can send the money over.


    If you keep


    stalling, I''ll feel insulted, like you''re looking down on me." Andrew let out a sigh and put on an expression of helplessness.


    "since Mr.


    Golding Senior has gone this far, how could I say no now? If I keep refusing, I''d be the one in the wrong.


    Ms.


    Stevens,e over here and give Mr.


    Golding Senior ourpany''s bank info." Hearing her name, Aspen froze for a second.


    She could not believe Andrew had actually dared to take the Golding family''s money.


    "Sure! One moment, Mr.


    Lloyd.


    This is our ount number!" she said with a forced smile.


    Though unsure whether this was brilliant orpletely insane, Aspen still obediently disyed thepany ount.


    Richard raised a hand, signaling one of his aides, and within minutes, a confirmation pinged on Aspen''s phone100 million had just been transferred.


    The moment the other moguls saw that, they could not sit still.


    They rushed toward Andrew, suddenly unable to contain themselves.


    "Mr.


    Lloyd, our Silver Lining Corporation would also like to make a deposit.


    No strings, just a friendly gesture." "Exactly.


    Just a show of friendship, Mr.


    Lloyd.


    Money''s not even the point."


    "Mr.


    Lloyd, our Everbright Group already has a strong pharmaceutical division.


    Here''s another 100 millionand don''t you dare turn it down, or I''ll take it as a personal insult!" Andrew scratched his head and gave a wry smile.


    "Oh man, you guys are all following Mr.


    Golding Senior''s lead like this? You''re making things really awkward for me.


    Aren''t any of you worried this could all be a scam? What if your money just vanishes into thin air?" However, the tycoons all waved off the


    concern with casualughs.


    "t''s just pocket changeno big deal." "Right.


    And, like we said, it''s all about building rapport with you, Mr.


    Lloyd.


    Whether or not anythinges out of this, that''s not the point." "Mr. Lloyd,e on.


    A guy like you who holds the rights to those miracle pills? As if you''d bother running a con for this kind of money! You''re funny!" They allughed heartily, utterly rxed.


    To them, even a sliver of ess to those two pills would be a license to print


    money.


    While sizable, the cash they were throwing around now was chump changepared to what they would maketer.


    Andrew chuckled.


    "Well, if you''re all being this generous...


    Then alright1''ll take the money.


    But just so we''re clear, I don''t have a timeline for when these pills will be avable


    in the capital.


    So


    you''ll all need to manage your expectations." Richard led the response,


    "Not a problemreally, it''s no big deal.


    Honestly, even if the deal falls through, this was still a great way to connect with


    Mr.


    Lloyd.


    Money has a pricebut friendship? That''s priceless!" His speech was smooth and well-delivered, earning immediate nods and praise from the others.


    Andrew gave a thumbs-up.


    "Mr.


    Golding Senior, it''s no wonder you''re such a legend in the capital.


    You''re a ss act!" Aspen stared nkly at her phone, not quite sure whether she was dreaming.


    She silently muttered, ''Holy hell! We just collected another 400 million.


    That''s 500 million total, and it hadnded so fast, so effortlessly!" She looked up again to see Andrew already shoulder-to-shoulder with Richard and the others, chatting,ughing, and carrying on like good friends.


    Her eyes twitched violently,pletely in disbelief.


    When it came to Andrew, she was out of words.


    There was not a single adjective in her vocabry that felt adequate anymore.


    If she had to sum him up, only two words came to mind: absolutely badass.
