Chapter 225: Chapter 225: One Among the Younger Generation (Part 1)
Ten o’clock sharp.
The number one laboratory was already filled with people, many of whom were familiar faces well known to everyone. Elias Hawthorne arrived unexpectedly and was given a seat at the head.
When Raina North walked in, Claire North was already in her seat.
She glanced at Raina, her expression cold and stern, only her eyes still had a hint of redness.
Aaron Warren sat beside her, his gaze vicious and ferocious as he looked at her.
Raina couldn’t help but wonder how many tears Claire North had shed to win this lackey back again.
Wanda Woods stood up, and once she saw everyone’s eyes focused on her, she began to speak: "Today, we’ve gathered here for the two new anti-cancer drugs that we at The Veridian Institute of Medicine have developed. The winning group will not only receive a million-dollar reward per person but also have the opportunity to market their developed drugs. Moreover, they’ll have the chance to become a disciple of the Ghost Doctor Nowhere. In essence, as long as you win this competition, you’ll be the young generation’s top talent of The Veridian Institute."
The young generation’s top talent.
Everyone present felt their breath quicken involuntarily, Claire North’s gaze grew even more intense.
Elias Hawthorne’s eyes swept over everyone, finally resting on Raina’s face.
She remained composed, her brows even showing a hint of impatience.
Elias raised his eyebrows slightly; was Raina unconcerned or disdainful?
He didn’t know, but the answer would soon be revealed.
Wanda Woods continued: "Group One and Group Two, can you tell me which of you will first present your new medication for senior review?"
Claire North remained silent, her smile relaxed and steady.
The truth is, to say this competition is meaningless, it’s essentially bullying the weak.
Even if Raina were a genius, that was in the past. What’s more, Group Two only has her and Leila Foster, with such limited time. She didn’t believe Raina could develop any effective new medication.
Let’s not forget, these are anti-cancer drugs, not something else.
Raina was even less concerned: "It’s all the same to me, whatever works."
Claire North glanced at Raina upon hearing her, carefully concealing her disdain.
Indeed, her guess was right.
Only if nothing had been developed would there be such indifference.
Or perhaps, Raina assumed Group One also had no results, which is why she dared to be nonchalant.
If that were true, Raina would be disappointed. If Claire hadn’t actually discovered a substance effective against cancer, she wouldn’t have boldly proposed developing anti-cancer drugs as the competition project.
Claire North stood up: "Since my sister graciously conceded, I won’t be shy. Our Group One will go first."
Confidently, Claire North presented the bottle of medicine in her hand. Indeed, the new drug she researched had significant flaws and wasn’t yet at the stage for clinical trials, but it’s already quite impressive, otherwise the leader of Group One wouldn’t have let her speak.
The smooth pills were distributed to the senior members of the medical field present, who carefully analyzed the ingredients.
Then, the most respected elder took a sample of the pill’s powder and placed it under a high-magnification microscope that held cancer Shea.
Further, instruments projected the results onto the big screen.
"Look, the new medication is affecting cancer Shea."
"Cancer Shea has already started to shrink. At this rate, eliminating cancer Shea is only a matter of time."
"Apothecary North truly lives up to being Zane’s last disciple, achieving such greatness at such a young age."
"I think she’s even more remarkable than Zane. After all these years, Zane hasn’t developed an anti-cancer medication."
"Having a disciple like her is surely more rewarding than developing a new medication himself, right?"
As she heard the elders’ praises, Claire North’s heart felt intensely invigorated. She knew that once she brought out her new medication, fame and fortune would come along.
