Modern Traveler-Chapter 100. Test

Joaquin Duato, holding his phone, had a deep frown on his face. "Damn that kid. I need to ask Isaac about him." He dialed Isaac's number and waited for an answer.

"Hello, Isaac. Who is that kid? He was so impatient, and was he telling the truth? Did he actually have a formula for cancer? He told me I only had today to buy it, but I needed to test it first. I need more information about that kid," Joaquin said.

"Neo is telling the truth. I met his friends last night who have cancer. As for the formula, I don't know much about it, but if it's Neo, he's being honest. Trust him, Joaquin. By the way, he is the owner of the stones your friend wants to buy. That's all I can say, haha. Trust that kid. Bye, I'm busy," Isaac replied before ending the call.

"He's the owner of the Neo Blue Diamond? Damn. I need to contact someone to bring me lab equipment and a person willing to take a risk," Joaquin said. He quickly dialed another number and instructed them to do what he needed.

He exited his hotel room and walked to another room with guards. He requested to meet the king. His friend is the king of the Netherlands, and because he had connections with Isaac, Joaquin asked him for a favor to buy the diamond without going to auction. However, Isaac mentioned that the owner wanted it to be auctioned. With no choice, the king traveled to LA to try and win the bid. He invited Joaquin to watch the bidding.

After confirming that the king was awake, the guard allowed Joaquin into the room, where he saw King Willem.

"Why are you rushing, Joaquin? The auction starts at 6 PM, and it's only 1:30 PM," Willem said, inviting Joaquin to take a seat.

"I'm here because I'll be going somewhere later. Maybe you'd like to meet him," Joaquin replied.

"Who? Is that why you're so excited?" Willem asked.

"To be honest, someone called me and said he has a formula to cure cancer. At first, I didn't believe it, but he said he got my number from Isaac. He asked me to bring a cancer patient and lab equipment to prove that it's legitimate medicine today. Only today! If I can't, he'll sell it to Pfizer," Joaquin explained.

"Is it true? If so, that would be amazing but also a disaster. If a cure is discovered, the pros are that millions of people could be cured and it might lead to discovering other cures. But the cons are that doctors and nurses who specialize in cancer could be heavily impacted; they might lose their jobs," Willem analyzed.

"Yeah, I thought about that too, but a cure that saves lives is much more important than worrying about job losses, right? I might also contact other companies that will work with me to donate some funds to those who might lose their jobs as severance pay and help them find new work, or make a deal before selling the cure to a country" Joaquin replied.

"That's a good solution. Are you sure he's telling the truth, Joaquin? Maybe he's just playing pranks," Willem said.

"I asked Isaac about it. He said he already met the cancer patient who took the medicine. Also, the person who called me is the owner of the neo blue diamond, so I'm 80% sure it's true. Are you interested in coming with me, Willem? It's also an opportunity to meet that kid," Joaquin replied.

"Really? He's the owner? What are you waiting for? Let's go now, hahaha!" Willem exclaimed.

"We leave at 2. Let's wait for my assistant to pick us up," Joaquin said.

Neo also called Kyedae to ask if she was done talking to her doctor. She said yes, and I invited her to come to the house to explain what was going on. She and Tenz agreed and immediately drove over to visit us.

Hmm, I remember that Sabrina wants to decorate the house with jewelry. I raised my arms, and six boxes of treasure appeared inside the house. After that, Neo decided to relax, waiting to see who would arrive first: his family, Kyedae, or the CEO.

Fifty minutes passed, and Kyedae and Tenz arrived. I informed T-X, the guard at the gate, to open it.

"So big! Look, Tyson, Neo's garage is something else," Kyedae pointed out.

"I bet he will buy more cars to fill up the empty space. But this house is huge; I'll get lost here for sure," Tenz remarked.

"Hello, Tenz, Kyedae. Come in; Sakura is resting in the guest room," Neo said.

Before we could even get inside the house, three cars arrived with a truck following them. Neo knew it was the CEO of J&J this time. T-X opened the gates and let them in.

Kyedae, Tenz, and I stood at the front door, puzzled by the presence of so many guards—at least ten of them.

Two middle-aged men exited the car and approached us.

"Like you said, Neo, I'm here! Hahaha! I also brought someone; I hope that's okay," Joaquin said, extending his arm for a handshake.

"I don't mind. He looks like a big shot with all those guards," Neo replied, shaking Joaquin's hand.

"Hahaha, hello there, kid. Sorry about them; I'm kind of important, you know. I'm Willem," he said as he and Neo shook hands.

"He's the king of the Netherlands; that's why he has so many guards. Don't mind it," Joaquin explained.

"Oh, so a king! Let's go inside. By the way, this is Tenz and Kyedae. Kyedae was the one who took the medicine previously," he introduced Tenz and Kyedae.

"So she's the one who first took the medicine. We'll leave the items in the truck; we'll bring only the most basic items. After the patient drinks the medicine, they will conduct tests inside the truck where the heavier tests will happen," Joaquin said.

We moved inside with the doctors and patients following us. As we walked down the hallway, Willem noticed the boxes full of treasure and planned to ask Neo about them once Joaquin finished negotiating.

"Sit wherever you want. So, shall we begin?" Neo asked.

"The sooner, the better," Joaquin signaled to the doctor to start preparing the patient. She was in the second stage of cancer and had no family to care for her; she had agreed to try the new medicine after being offered the opportunity.

*Ultron buys 2 cancer medicines.*

*Buying 2 cancer medicines... complete. 483,900 SP remaining.*

"Here, this is the medicine. Let her drink it," Neo said, pretending to get the medicine from his pocket.

One of the doctors reached out and held the vial. He moved to the patient and let her drink it. She closed her eyes tightly, preparing herself in case something went wrong.

"You will feel a cooling sensation in your body and won't feel any pain. Just relax," Kyedae reassured her. Having experienced it firsthand, she understood how nervous the patient was.

The patient heard Kyedae's words and began to relax. Soon, she felt something happening inside her body, but she couldn't quite distinguish what it was.

"All normal. Let's move to the lab test in the truck. Sir, we will conduct our tests for a maximum of 20 minutes," the doctor said as they rushed the patient into the truck for the rigorous lab tests.
