The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 413 Joseph's Experience

A way to save Susan?

Julian Shaw's pupils constricted abruptly!

He had gathered endless manpower and material resources, spent three years, and yet there was not much progress so far. Joseph Shaw was actually telling him that he had figured out a way?

Something was not right!

Joseph had over 1,000 subordinates working under him that had been infected with the Errol Virus.

Those people had been infected even earlier. Susie still had two years, but those people might not necessarily have two years left.

Julian could not help asking, "How many of your infected subordinates are still alive?”

"There were over 1,000 of them, and only 500 of them remain now." Joseph's voice sounded calm, but Julian could hear the boundless bitterness in it.

"500 people?” Julian narrowed his eyes.

"Don't misunderstand me. The 500 people who died did not die because of the Errol Virus. They died due t o the endless fights," Joseph said softly. "Only half of the people I brought over in the past are alive now."

Those subordinates aside, there were over a dozen scars of all sizes on Joseph’s body. In fact, two of those scars had been fatal wounds. Had it not been for his relatively strong willpower to live, he would have already turned into a soul.

Joseph’s voice sounded rather deep. Julian stayed quiet for a moment before he said, "My condolences."

"It's fine." Joseph let out a bitter laugh. "When we made the decision to follow this career in the past, we were already mentally prepared for this."

They had left as a group. Joseph considered a full dismissal straightforward too, so everyone could lay low on their own. However, his subordinates had disagreed. On the other hand, if they spread out, they would not even have any leeway to resist if they were ambushed.

Joseph had considered this carefully and decided to gather the group and head to that uncivilized, remote land. In that chaotic world, they had lost quite a lot of blood. However, after striving for a few years, they had settled down and become a very powerful force.

Because they had achieved this, some organizations would not have the courage to make a move on them anymore.

Of course, everything was easier said than done. The hardships and arduousness of this endeavor could not be explained clearly with just a sentence or two.

All sorts of emotions welled up in his heart for a moment before vanishing. Soon, Joseph said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to talking about the Errol Virus! My subordinates were infected b y the virus three years before Susie. The virus in their bodies was supposed to flare up one year ago, but they are still alive and well now. Julian, that place is wide and vast, and there are even more ancient lands that have never been claimed. Even though the Errol Virus is formidable, the miracle created by nature left behind a chance of survival."

"What do you mean?" Julian's eyes lit up.

"I found something that can eradicate the virus," Joseph said straightforwardly. "Set a time and place and we’ll talk in detail."

How could Julian bear to wait anymore? He said right away, "Where are you? I'm coming over to meet you!"

"Where am I? You wish to come and meet me alone?” Joseph smiled spuriously. "Aren't you afraid that you might experience a mishap?" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You should be afraid, right? Are you afraid that if you give me an address, I'll send someone to find you right away?" said Julian nonchalantly.

Joseph could not help laughing. "I'm not going to be able to convince you. Let me just give you my address."

Joseph gave him an address.

Julian jotted down the address, dispatched some orders regarding the company, and then headed out instantly.

This matter was related to Susan's life, so he could not waste even a moment longer.

In the deluxe suite of a six-star hotel, Joseph and Julian sat across each other.

"You actually enjoy a rather elegant lifestyle." Julian raised an eyebrow.

Joseph downed a glass of red wine in a carefree manner. "I fought for this wealth with my life. If I don't enjoy it properly, what's the point of having this wealth?"

As he was speaking, he poured a glass of red wine for Julian as well.

This red wine was a top-grade wine.

Julian took a sip. It was smooth and rich in his mouth and outstanding taste-wise.

However, how could he be in the mood to enjoy good wine now?

Julian downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. He was about to bring up the virus again when Joseph took out a red box and placed it on the table.

"Here you go. This is it. Open it and take a look," said Joseph.

The item inside the box... was capable of eradicating the Errol Virus?

Julian took the box with slightly shaky hands.

He took a deep breath and opened the box slowly.

A blade of red grass lay in the box quietly.

"What is this?" Julian’s pupils constricted ever so slightly.

"I don't know what kind of grass it is either. This grass is found in a desert a few people tread. A few of us went out to deal with some affairs and got caught in a sandstorm along the way. We avoided the sandstorm and lost our way without notice. When the sandstorm was over, we discovered a large stretch of sand where this type of red grass was coincidentally growing,” said Joseph.

"How do you know that this grass is capable of eradicating the Errol Virus?"

Joseph explained, "At the time, one of our members was infected by the Errol Virus. That day, he was coincidentally having a flare-up so we injected the simplified version of the antidote into him in a panic. However, just as Mr. Clark said before his death, there i s a limit to the ability of the simplified version of the antidote. The antidote did not have any effect on him this time. He howled in pain and before we could manage to react to the situation, he suddenly charged toward the red

grass as if he had gone mad. He uprooted the grass instantly and swallowed it. We were afraid that the grass was poisonous. We reacted b y stopping him after he consumed the grass. Before long, something changed about him." "What changed?" Julian listened attentively.

"He appeared to be hot, yet he was hurting due to the medicinal effect of the grass," Joseph said. "At the time, we were lost in the desert, so there was nothing we could do under the circumstances. We could only let him rest and recuperate on the spot and hope that h e would make it. A person will suffer through three days of agony during the flare-up of the Errol Virus. Eventually, the vast majority of people will only end u p dying. However, this person was hot for half an hour before the color of his face gradually became healthy. One hour later, he was completely fine."

Completely fine?

Julian could not help feeling hopeful as he gazed at the red grass.

"The final flare-up of the Errol Virus doesn't take place precisely after five years. It differs according to each individual's physical state, so it’s slightly different for different people. However, since someone already had a flare-up, I figured that it would not take long for others to have one as well. At the time, my first thought was that we should immediately take the red grass with us and give it to the other people infected with the virus so they could consume it," said Joseph.
