Francis Ladell?
When Nathan heard that, his eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he instructed, “Let him in.”
Soon, Francis was brought in.
These days, Francis looked quite different from his usual unkempt appearance. Surprisingly, he was dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking rather dashing and sophisticated, just like a distinguished guest at a ceremony.
“President Cross.”
With utmost respect, Francis bowed to Nathan. His assistant, who was following behind him, quickly followed suit.
Nathan gently nodded. “Professor Ladell.”
Knowing that Nathan's time was precious, Francis dared not waste any of it. He went straight to the point with a smile. “President Cross, I'm here to provide you with a report on my work. I'm pleased to inform you that Cross Research Team has done you and the chairman proud. We have met all expectations and successfully developed an advanced serum. In addition, we managed to cure Mr. Hurt using it. The blood virus in his body has been completely removed, and after multiple examinations, we can confirm that he has fully recovered.”
What?
Upon receiving the news, Nathan was overjoyed.
He could not help but stand up and asked, “Really?”
Francis chuckled. “Mr. Cross, I wouldn't dare to deceive you of all people.”
With that, he turned around and called out, “Mr. Hurt?”
Shortly after, a familiar figure appeared in front of Nathan, and it was none other than Sevan.
The latter seemed to have lost some weight, yet his spirit was remarkably high, and he had a healthy complexion. There was no trace of the sickly pallor often associated with vampires.
Nathan exclaimed with delight, “Sevan!”
Kneeling on one knee, Seven looked up and smiled. “Master, Professor Ladell has successfully developed an advanced serum, and I have been cured.”
He got really worked up, not just for his own recovery, but also because Francis had developed an advanced serum that brought hope for a cure to Nathan.
Nathan laughed. “Great! Great! This is just great!” He repeated 'great' three times in a row.
