“Mr. Campbell, I've been waiting here for you for quite some time.”
As soon as Donald and Penelope arrived at the luxurious cruise ship's ticket checkpoint, a beautiful woman walked over.
“Who are you?” Donald looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression. Shouldn't it be Aspen who was supposed to greet him?
The woman smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Campbell, my name is Heather Jenner. I am Mr. Oakley's assistant. As Mr. Oakley is the host of tonight's banquet, he has specifically sent me to attend to you.”
Upon hearing Heather's words, Donald immediately frowned.
“What? It was Mr. Oakley who begged me to come to this godforsaken banquet. If he thinks he's succeeded just by luring me here, then he's seriously underestimating me.”
Donald was about to turn around and leave when he spoke, but Heather quickly stepped forward to stop him.
“Mr. Campbell, please don't be upset. Mr. Oakley indeed couldn't come personally. However, his regard for you is beyond doubt. Mr. Campbell, this is a gift from Mr. Oakley as an apology. We hope you can accept it with a smile.”
Donald glanced down and noticed that Heather was holding a familiar small brown bottle.
However, this little brown bottle no longer contained just a single D1 Life Pill but was instead filled to the brim with them.
When Donald saw the amount of pills, his gaze instantly changed.
“All of this... is for me?”
Donald found this a bit strange.
The agenda of that night's banquet was the D1 Life Pills.
Before, Donald had spent a fortune just to buy a single pill, and now, as a mere apology, Aspen was willing to give him an entire bottle?
When Heather saw Donald's greedy demeanor, her heart was filled with disdain even though she wore a smile on her face.
For those not in the know, the D1 Life Pills were indeed a miracle cure for cancer.
However, the top brass within the organization all knew that the D1 Life Pills were flawed.
Taking it for the first time might be acceptable, but if one planned on relying on the pills for long-term cancer treatment, one would only end up becoming a monstrous creature.
