The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1153

When Robin reached the CEO's office, Oisean and Maurice were already waiting at the door.

"Greetings, Mr. Ramsey."

Robin paused instead of going in immediately. He turned to Oisean. "Weren't you supposed to be with Shania?"

Oisean froze, unsure of what Robin was implying.

Maurice quickly explained, "Mr. Coyle went to Solas' place to get the safe key, so he and Ms. Coyle split up.

"Once we had the key, we were concerned about running out of time, so we used the CEO's private passage and elevator to come up here.

"I'll call Ms. Coyle right away and ask her to meet you."

Robin waved dismissively. "No need. I just saw her downstairs. She'll be here soon."

He then instructed, "You two head to Solas' secret room and bring back the chip from the safe. I have other things to do and need to hurry up."

"Yes, sir!" Oisean and Maurice immediately departed without hesitation.

Over 20 years ago, the Dragon Lord acquired a mysterious chip rumored to hold an incredible secret about humanity.

To keep it safe, he split the chip in two. One half was secured in the Dragon Manor's secret room, while the other was entrusted to Levi, who stored it in his manor.

Only when the two pieces were united and decrypted could their secret be unveiled.

Twenty years ago, during the Dragon Manor massacre, the half-chip hidden there was stolen by the Rivers.

To repay Robin's kindness, Annie insisted on taking the super soldier gene serum.

Using the map and theft plan from Old Fred, she infiltrated the Rivers' Spiritrest Sanctuary in Neuno and retrieved the stolen chip.

However, the Dark Night Alliance caught wind of that and tipped off Neasan and Solas, who controlled Nine Stars Pharmaceutical. They ambushed Annie.

Though Annie managed to protect the Dragon Manor's surveillance footage, the chip fell into Neasan's hands. He and Solas then hid it in a secret safe.

Robin's goal was to reunite that half with the piece he already possessed, unlocking its world-altering secret.

Ten minutes later, Oisean and Maurice returned with a palm-sized, exquisite mahogany box.

Robin opened the box, took the chip, and carefully examined it. Its design perfectly matched the half given to him by Jecintha.

Daphne quickly set up a tiny computer, inserting the chip.

A blurry image resembling a vast, starry sky flashed briefly on the screen before vanishing.

Robin wondered if the chip had been altered with some kind of advanced technology.

It appeared that the information stored on it couldn't be accessed under the current circumstances.

With no other choice, he decided to keep the chip with him until the time was right.

Once he had dealt with all his enemies, he would uncover its hidden secrets.

After changing into fresh clothes, Shania returned to the office.

Dolidh happened to pass by and noticed Shania entering the CEO's office.

Who are these women? Why are they taking Shania into the CEO's office?

Could it be that Mr. Ramsey had arrived already? Is he planning to torment and humiliate Shania? She might not make it out of here alive.

"Mr. Ramsey, if we proceed this way, it would not only be impractical but also damage the motivation of developers and investors. In the end, no one would want to create new drugs anymore."

Robin nodded. "You're right. We must avoid that.

"What I'm suggesting is not to interfere with Valysar Lab's regional rights. Instead, Nine Stars Pharmaceutical Group should acquire the global patent rights to Caffepan."

Oisean's eyes widened. "Are you saying we should buy the patent rights and then increase the price?

"As far as I know, this drug already sells for over 40,000 in the Aurientia market. The profits are significant, and it has a steady customer base. However, the market for this patented drug is complicated.

"Criele has pharmaceutical factories with international certifications that produce generic versions of certain special medications.

"They sell these generics at low prices, around 2,000 dollars per bottle.

"Their strategy could potentially dominate the global market for Caffepan's patented version. If we acquire the global patent rights, managing the market and distribution would be a huge challenge."

Robin smiled faintly. "I'm not doing this for the profits. My goal is to create a new, balanced market approach.

"I believe that the scientists who develop new drugs don't want their breakthroughs to be out of reach for patients. They would rather see their work save lives.

"But research requires significant funding, and those investments need returns.

"What we need is a balanced model that can address the needs of researchers, investors, and patients alike.

"I think Nine Stars should take on this responsibility—just as your father envisioned when he founded the company, aiming to help the world and save lives."

Oisean nodded thoughtfully. "I got it, Mr. Ramsey. How should we move forward?"
