The following morning, a group of twenty people arrived at the prince and princess palace. The guards at the gate already knew them as this wasn't the first day that these people had come here.r

Furthermore, they were driving the Bentaygas that Jack had bought. The four cars drove into the compound.r

Not long after, three cars arrived at the gate. Bob was surprised. But when they introduced themselves, he allowed the group in. Jack had already informed him that there would be two groups of people that would be coming on this day.r

"I wonder what all these guys are here for. Are they going to go out for a mission or something?" Bob wondered. He had seen the helicopter and he could tell that it was like the one that he had seen in a movie a period back.r

That was a helicopter that was used by soldiers or security department. Although there were other modifications that could be used by the health sector and so on, he could recognize the one that had landed in the palace grounds.r

In any case, he wasn't going to be so nosy on what was going to happen. He simply went back to his post after making sure that there was nobody else that was left out.r

…r

Jack and the gang had already been prepared. They were simply waiting for the thirty five to arrive. r

When they came, the group took breakfast before they set off. Just like Johnathan and the others, the group of thirty five was surprised when they saw such a big helicopter. Those that knew about it couldn't help but wonder what kind of background Jack had.r

In any case, Gabriel and one of Johnathan's men were going to be the pilots for the day. With the size of the helicopter, it was obvious that a single pilot would have a difficult time in handling it.r

The journey was going to be long. So, they had decided to leave by eight In the morning. They had already made sure to take with them the things that they would need on the way. Food and water were some of the basics.r

Since they were no longer going to take a detour to venture city and directly go to Kartu city, it would take them about five hours to arrive in the central province's Kartu city.r

The helicopter could fly at a speed of 295km/hr. Considering that it wasn't like a car where it would be held in a traffic jam or it would have to slow down when climbing the mountains, this speed was fast enough in air.r

…r

When they arrived in Kartu city, Jack and Johnathan had to look for a place to stay. Although the girls wanted to invite them to their house, Jack and Johnathan thought that it wasn't appropriate for them to go there.r

After all, if they did go, they would have to face the girls' parents. In the end, it would be like an introduction. Who was ready for that at the moment? None!r

As the girls went back to their parents' house, Jack and Johnathan decided to stay in the Cardinals Supreme Hotel. This place Jack had already booked for a month. So, there was no need for him to book another place.r

As for the thirty five, they were going to book their own rooms. Of course Jack was the one that was going to pay for the expenses.r

After staying there for the night, Jack took the Lamborghini Urus that Denali had left in the hotel parking space, before driving it to the Brightway Medical Research Centre. Johnathan decided to go with him.r

They were currently in the central province. Here, it was easy for his second uncle to know his whereabouts. And just as he knew, he would definitely send more assassins his way.r

If they did send someone like spider when he was still weakened, it would only lead to his death. Jack could defeat spider without getting injured. That implied that he was strong. So, Jack was his only source of protection as long as he wasn't back to the family manor.r

He had also followed Jack because he was curious about what type of pill he was producing. He knew about the Brightway Medical Research Centre. As for how Jack came to be the owner of the research centre, that was something that he didn't know about.r

When they got there, he found that there was a group that was waiting for him. It seemed that Denali had informed them that Jack was coming to see where the problem was with the pill.r

The group welcomed him. Though, they were surprised that there were actually twins. In the end, Jack didn't think that it was necessary to explain anything to them and simply asked them to take him to the trial room.r

The trial room was located in the biggest building that had five floors. It was on the top most floor, the fifth.r

When Jack got there, he found that there were several trial subjects there. He knew that this was normal. The research centre didn't simply research about human medicine. There were other departments that dealt with other types of medicine.r

Just like how the test was done, they used a normal white mouse. The pill was pure white in color. Since it was true that the mouse wouldn't simply take the pill, they had to use water to make a solution that would then be fed to the mouse.r

The test went on. Jack and Johnathan observed from the side. Johnathan asked, "What kind of pill is that? It's so small and has no scent at all."r

"It's a body strengthening pill." Jack replied.r

"Eh? What kind of pill is that? I have never heard of a disease that requires such a pill." Johnathan asked again.r

"The weak can be treated by the use of this pill." Jack replied.r

Johnathan wanted to ask more when the results of the test came out.r

"As you can see, the results of the pill show that the pill has no effect on the mouse." The scientist in charge of the production handed the document to Jack.r

Jack could see that they had tested the physique of the mouse in terms of strength, speed and so on before giving it the pill. In the end, after three hours, they found that there was actually no change at all. The results were still the same.r

Jack frowned. He wondered what was happening here. 'Angel, could there be something wrong with the recipe?'r

[How can there be anything wrong with the recipe that the system gives? That's completely impossible.]r

'Then what happened to the pills? The results show that they have no effect.' Jack asked.r

[Can't you see the mistake that you guys are making? The body strengthening pill is meant for humans. Yet here you are, testing it on a mouse and you are expecting results?]r

'But the mouse has always been used as a test subject for drugs that are used by humans.' Jack said.r

[Whatever you say. The body strengthening pill is meant for humans. No matter how similar the cells or physique of the mouse are closer to that of a human, it's still a mouse at the end of the day. So, there will be no effect.]r

[Another thing to note is that you only retrieved the recipe and not the prescription of using the pills. Although it was said that a person could only take two pills, do you know whether the two are taken at the same time or at what time difference after taking the first one?]r

[Then, although it's a pill, did you ask for the method of using it? Not really. You simply took the pill, dissolved it in water and fed it to the mouse. Even if the pill could really work on the mouse, the results would still remain the same.]r

Jack: "…."r

He had completely forgotten something like that. Although it was true that the scientists were the ones that produced the pill according to the recipe that he was given, they had not really researched the pill at all.r

So, they didn't know about the effect of the pill when taken. They simply knew that the pill was supposed to increase the strength of a person.r

Jack took a deep breath as he tried thinking about what the system had just said. He looked at the scientist in front of him. His name was Walter. He was from a big research institute and was poached by Denali.r

"Have you tried different methods of administering the pill to the mouse?" Jack asked.r

"Yes. We forced the solid pill into the mouth of the mouse. Since the pill could easily dissolve, it wasn't a problem for the mouse to take it. But the results were the same as now." Walter said.r

"We tried dissolving the pill with different amounts of water. In the end, there were no changes at all. We used warm water, cold water, nothing worked even when we used hot water to dissolve the pill first." Walter continued.r

Jack could see just how frustrated Walter was. He was someone who likes researching. So, although he wasn't the one that had researched the pill, it was true that he was involved in the production. So, for him to see that his efforts actually bore no results, it made him so depressed.r

'System, where's the prescription?' Jack asked.r

[Do you want it here or back in the hotel?]r

Jack thought for a while and decided that he was going to take the prescription back at the hotel. With that decision made, Jack looked at Walter and said, "Just continue with the production of the second batch of pills. Don't worry about the effects of the pill, I will take care of it."r

Although Walter was confused, he still agreed and went back to discuss with his fellow scientists about what Jack had just said.r

Johnathan followed Jack back to the hotel without asking a question. He was curious. But, seeing that the pill seemed to be ineffective, he decided not to ask. After all, what was the use of something that couldn't be used.r

Jack entered his room in the suite. Then, he asked the system for the prescription.r

[Doctor Angel's body strengthening pill intake prescription has been placed in the bedside cabinet.]r

"Doctor? Since when did you become a doctor?" Jack was rendered speechless.r

[Of course I'm a doctor. Otherwise, how could I know the body strengthening pill recipe as well as the prescription? Didn't the scientists that you hired failed after days of tests?]r

Jack simply shook his head and opened the cabinet before taking a piece of paper. Just like the recipe, the prescription was also written on the paper.r
