Chapter 237
Quiana held up a piece of paper and said, “Ten pounds each.”
“Ten pounds?” The man took the paper from Quiana and scoffed, “Are you planning a medicinal bath or a feast?”
Quiana tapped the brim of her cap and said, “650 thousand dollars per pound.”
The man raised an eyebrow and asked, “How much profit do you make?”
“Not much. Just 350 thousand dollars,” Quiana replied, leaning against the door and grinning.

“You’re greedy. I’ll deliver it to you in two days,” the man sneered, retreating into the room before closing the door with a loud bang.
Undeterred, Quiana shouted through the door, “I want it by tomorrow morning.” There was no answer, but Quiana knew the man could hear her.
As Quiana descended the stairs, she pulled out her phone, dialed a number, and ordered, “Bryson, send me the special drug box with Codename W.”
On the other end, Bryson frowned and asked, “Are you hurt?”
“No.” Quiana replied.
“Is it Hugo or Edith then?” Bryson asked.
“Neither,” Quiana answered.
“Then why-” Bryson was puzzled.
“Just send it,” Quiana said and hung up the phone.
The W–series special drug was a secret product developed by Genesis No. 6 Research Institute. It was a rare, life–saving drug that could bring someone back from the brink of death, practically resurrecting the dead.
After leaving the building, Quiana returned to her basement in the slum. The creatures that once occupied the room had been removed, leaving only some equipment behind.
Quiana turned on a computer, her fingers tapping on the keyboard. Before any code could appear, a video call from Hugo came through, and she answered it.
The sky stretched wide and endless above, meeting the vast ocean below. Suspended in midair, Hugo’s small frame clung to the face of a cliff, dangling without any safety equipment–one hand gripping a jutting rock, the other holding up his phone.
Hugo’s face, though handsome, was now two shades darker from the sun. He said wryly, “Quiana, it’s been difficult to reach you.”
Quiana poured herself a drink at a bar in a shadowy corner. “You have something urgent?” she asked.
“No- Hugo replied. His expression changed to a charming grin. “I just missed you too much.”
Quiana chuckled and said, “Miss me all you want. Don’t come back until I’m done with the training camp.
Hugo looked at Quiana’s background and said, “Aren’t you-”
“Two more months,” Quiana interrupted.

Hugo felt defeated and slumped down. Then, he lifted his head, his eyes filled with tears as he said, “But Fabian and the others are bullying me.”
Quiana remained expressionless. “I’ll avenge them for you,” she said.
“Quiana, you are heartless,” Hugo whined.
Quiana sat on a barstool, sipping her drink as she said, “That rock above your head is about to fall
“Huh?” Hugo looked up reflexively just as a chunk of stone came tumbling down.
A sharp voice called out, “Kid, are you slacking off again?”
“I’m not! Ah-” Hugo cried. “Fabian, you bastard! Help me, Quiana!”
“Quiana?” The man was stunned for a moment but showed no mercy.
Hugo yelped as he fell off the cliff, but Quiana was unfazed. His phone spun through the air, the video feed fuzzy for a few seconds before someone caught and steadied it.
The screen refocused to reveal a man in his twenties with a striking mixture of gold and blue hair and sharp features. When he saw Quiana, his eyes lit up, and he said, “Boss, it’s been a while. You’ve gotten even prettier.”
Quiana licked her lip before saying, “What’s the situation over there?”
“I’ll talk to you up there,” Fabian said, ensuring Hugo was safe. Then he climbed up the cliff like a gecko and sat down cross- legged. His expression was solemn as he said, “Everything is in order. Poaching incidents have dropped by 70% in the last six
months.”
Quiana narrowed her eyes and said, “That still leaves 30%.”
Fabian frowned and said, “Well, Boss, Sounent is a haven for the wildlife. This is our territory, so we can keep things under control. But we can’t monitor everywhere.”
“We have to,” Quiana said firmly. Her long lashes cast a shadow over her eyes. “Find it quickly,” she added.
