“Hey, don’t say that.” Nicholas echoed. “He finally got a wife. Of course, he’s got to keep a close eye on her…”
“It’s okay, even if she’s got a scratch!” A vendor’s voice came from the side suddenly. “I have meds here, special formula. No scars left, guaranteed!”
Nicholas and Linda guffawed.
On the other hand, Cordelia was attracted by the intricate-looking bottle and checked it out. It had retro packaging and was only a small bottle that was handy. It was the first time she saw a medicine that was manufactured like a piece of art.
The vendor grinned at her. “Miss, do you want to buy one? This is from Xywan Pharmaceuticals. It’s been selling for over a decade. It’s fair and genuine!”
“Xywan Pharmaceuticals?”
“Yeah! Irwin’s medicinal drugs manufacturing company!”
Zephyr furrowed his brows at that.
Mengasas was close to Southeast Aciatic. Was this Irwin the Irwin in Southeast Aciatic?
The party continued walking for a bit and came to a place where it was less crowded. Linda pulled Cordelia along to try out the street food while the men followed them.
Nicholas noticed that Zephyr’s expression was off.
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Zephyr answered flatly and asked after giving it a thought, “The vendor who mentioned the Irwins just now… Have you heard of it?”
“Of course. It’s famous in Southeast Aciatic.”
Nicholas used to travel around with his boss in the past and had heard about things like this.
“The Irwins are quite influential in Southeast Aciatic. It’s said that their ancestors started up as doctors, so the Irwins kept the medicinal drugs manufacturing company.”
“But why are these meds sold on the street?”
“Think it’s because their prices are low and the meds are effective, so they’re popular. They don’t put up airs like those big pharmaceutical companies, so their medicines are everywhere. There’s no imitation either because they price the meds low enough. The regular people can all afford them.”
Zephyr narrowed his eyes. “So, they’re an ethical business.”
