Chapter 73
Marshal Hobby, stuck in the memory of his once dazzling son Derrick, stood up and left without saying a word.
Eugene’s mother looked sadly at her son, “Your father must have gone to Beiyuan again.”
Eugene didn’t care, “Go and go. He just runs to Beiyuan everyday. How diligent, hmph after all that waste will always be a waste.”
Eugene’s mother nodded. No matter how much Marshal Hobby valued Derrick, Derrick has already turned into a useless person and would never be a threat to Eugene.
The First Military Region will definitely belong to Eugene in the future.
But for some reason, Eugene’s mother still felt uneasy. “It’s better to change your temper to avoid annoying your father. Otherwise, I am worried that in the future your father’s property would all be given to you except for the First Military Region for Derrick,” she said.
Eugene showed a gloomy face upon hearing those words, “When I upgrade to Rank 8, I will find a chance to kill Derrick.”
True enough, after Marshal Hobby went out, he took his aircraft and flew directly to Beiyuan.
Beiyuan was a manor specially built by Hobby for his son Derrick.
Derrick had been living in Beiyuan for over eight years ever since he became paralyzed. Except for a few special holidays where Marshal Hobby would take him back to the mansion, he had been spending all his time in Beiyuan.
Marshal Hobby parked the aircraft in the courtyard. “Where is Derrick?”
The young butler bowed and answered, “Marshal, the eldest master is in the virtual cabin.”
Hobby frowned. “In the virtual cabin again. you don’t know how to persuade him properly.”
The butler did not dare speak out and just bowed his head, listening to Marshal Hobby’s mutterings.
Marshal Hobby arrived at the study and saw Derrick lying on the recliner inside the virtual cabin, his eyes were closed and he had a bracelet on his wrist.
The virtual cabin, including the recliner, is specially customized according to Derrick’s physical condition. The space inside the cabin was spacious and the recliner was also made to be very comfortable to lie on.
Derrick has been paralyzed for many years, so when he lies down, he would be in the same position.
Even though Marshal Hobby blamed the butler for not limiting Derrick’s time in the virtual cabin, he himself said nothing nor did he bother Derrick after seeing him. Marshal Hobby just picked up the other bracelet next to it and put it on.
Marshal Hobby entered the virtual space with familiarity and let the system teleport his avatar directly to the “battlefield.”
The “battlefield” simulated real terrain such as mountains, rivers, and forests, and was used for training single-soldier or team combat skills.
Derrick couldn’t do much with his current condition, so he would usually go to the virtual world and conduct simulation training as a virtual character.
Unlike usual, Marshal Hobby did not find Derrick when he arrived at the “battlefield”
He had to exit the virtual world where he gently tapped Derrick on the reclining chair.
Derrick opened his eyes and found that his father had already sat beside him at some point in time.
“Father, when did you come?”
“Just now. Where did you go?”
“Just went to the commercial district and walked around.” Derrick answered.
“Is there anything you want?”
“No.” Derrick smiled.
“You shouldn’t always stay in the virtual cabin. Let the butler push you outside to enjoy the sun and have a few more body massages.” Hobby commented.
“I understand, father.”
Derrick looked at Marshal Hobby’s face and said, “Is my father worried because we didn’t get the right to distribute the Toxin Cleansing Pill?”
Marshal Hobby sighed, “Did you watch the press conference live too?”
“En, I read the list of distributors too. They aren’t very competitive companies. Maybe they were chosen by luck.”
The implication was that we did not choose because we were not competitive enough.
Hobby knew that Derrick was comforting him, but he was still angry. “It was Eugene, that brat. He offended Raymonds. As the press conference was over, I asked Nelson to book a batch for the military. The cost has increased by nearly one billion.” He said angrily
Since Marshal Hobby didn’t get distribution rights, he decided to buy it in bulk. But, the price was so much higher than the cost of distributors’.
In the third military area where Raymond was located, the Toxin Cleansing Pill has already become a necessity in their military supplies. If there were no Toxin Cleansing Pills in the military supplies of other military districts, soldiers would definitely feel uneasy.
Therefore, even if the price of Toxin Cleansing Pills increased, they would still order them.
“Eugene offended Raymond?”
Marshal Hobby repeated what Eugene said to him in the morning, and sighed again when he finished. How could he have give birth to such a stupid and **** son.
Derrick frowned slightly. “You go out first. I have something to say to my father alone.” He told the housekeeper and life assistant in the study with them.
The housekeeper and the life assistant went out one after the other and closed the study door.
Seeing Derrick’s face with a rare expression full of dignity, Marshal Hobby asked, “What do you want to say?”
“Some time ago, the Vein Clearing Liquid was labeled as a fake drug at a high price. There was a lot of trouble. Eugene was behind it.”
“I know.” Marshal Hobby said.
At that time, Eugene was stirring the muddy water behind his back to force the person holding the formula of the Vein Clearing Liquid to come out, so he closed his one eye and acquiesced to it.
“There were many people involved at that time.”
Marshal Hobby nodded and looked at Derrick questioningly, wondering why he brought this up suddenly.
Derrick continued, “In the list of distributors from today’s press conference, anyone who participated in the promotion of sky-high priced fake medicines did not obtain distribution rights to the Toxin Cleansing Pills. “
Marshal Hobby’s brows furrowed, “What do you mean?”
Derrick deliberated for a while before he said, “My guess is that the person who owns the formula of Vein Clearing Liquid has something to do with Raymond.”
“That’s impossible. The formula of the Toxin Cleansing Pill and Vein Clearing Liquid are completely different.”
If Vein Clearing Liquid had something to do with Raymond, there would be no need for him to get Toxin Cleansing Pills. Furthermore, the formulas of these two were very different. Owning one is already a big deal. What more to actually have two at once?
That was just absolutely impossible!! A message from Jules
I am a scam huhu. I said I would update more often as an accountability thing. 🙁 I read somewhere that if you say you’ll do it to a lot more people, it would make you more guilty if you don’t achieve it. As a result, you would be forced to work and finish it all at once. Unfortunately, it only left me with guilt :(. As much as possible, I’ll try to update once a week but finals are coming up so…maybe expect more sporadic updates for a while.
Sorry!! *insert praying for forgiveness emoji*
Also, when I can’t update, do you guys prefer it if I tag and announce it on the KnoxT discord channel?
