Chapter 1399: Two Powerful Tiger
As Dustin watched Hazel’s worried and somewhat reproachful expression, he was briefly taken aback, and his thoughts suddenly wandered.
From her, he seemed to glimpse the shadow of Natasha.
Is she doing well?
It’s been so long since we last contacted each other; she won’t be angry with me, will she?
Shaking off his momentary distraction, Dustin immediately pulled his hand away, declining Hazel’s offer to bandage his wound. He explained, “Miss Hazel, it’s alright, just a minor injury. As long as I apply Jade Dew Ointment, it will heal quickly.”
With that, he took out the previously prepared Jade Dew Ointment and applied it to the wound.
Unlike the earlier black ointment, this time Dustin used a dark green ointment that glistened like jade.
This was the improved and authentic version.
Not only did it have no side effects, but its medicinal effects were extraordinary.
“Young man, even if you wanted to test the medicine, you didn’t have to harm yourself like this. It looks so painful,” Hazel’s gaze held a touch of resentment.
“This is the most direct and convincing way,” Dustin replied with a faint smile.
“You could have convinced me without hurting yourself. Why go through this self-inflicted pain? If it leaves a scar, your arm won’t look good,” Hazel shook her head, clearly not understanding.
“This is also something I wanted to demonstrate: Jade Dew Ointment not only treats external injuries but also removes scars.”
Dustin picked up a teapot, poured two cups of tea, and smiled. “If everything goes as expected, my injury should be completely healed after we finish this pot of tea.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Hazel raised an eyebrow.
Seeing his confidence, her interest was piqued even more.
As they sipped tea and conversed, after a while, Dustin smiled faintly and said, “Miss Hazel, it’s about time. Please take a look.”
With that, he picked up a tissue from the table and gently wiped away the ointment from his arm.
The green ointment disappeared, and even the previously open wound had miraculously vanished.
There wasn’t a scar left; only a faint red mark remained, which was the appearance of new, tender flesh.
“Hmm?” Hazel blinked in slight astonishment and instinctively asked, “What happened to your earlier injury? How did it disappear?”
“It didn’t disappear; it has already healed,” Dustin corrected.
“Really?” Hazel looked genuinely amazed. “In the time it took to finish a cup of tea, that long gash completely healed?”
“How about it? Are you satisfied with the effectiveness of Jade Dew Ointment, Miss Hazel?” Dustin smiled.
“It’s incredible! Truly incredible!” Hazel grabbed Dustin’s hand and examined it closely, her eyes sparkling. “Young man, is the business opportunity you mentioned related to this Jade Dew Ointment?”
“That’s right,” Dustin nodded. “Miss Hazel, are you interested?”
“Of course, I’m interested! I’ve never seen such a miraculous external wound medicine. If we can mass-produce it, it will surely become a bestseller!” Hazel’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
Coming from a prestigious family, she had been exposed to business from a young age. Naturally, she understood the immense value of this medicine. With a bit of promotion, it could easily outperform all the other external wound remedies on the market.
This was truly a stroke of luck!
“Miss Hazel, don’t get too excited just yet. While Jade Dew Ointment is excellent, it comes with significant risks,” Dustin cautioned.
“Oh? What risks?” Hazel asked with a smile.
“To be frank, before our meeting, I had already sold the formula of Jade Dew Ointment to the Torby family. However, they reneged on our agreement, so I plan to reclaim what’s mine and teach them a lesson.”
Dustin didn’t hide any details and briefly explained the situation.
In a partnership, honesty was essential, and it was up to Hazel to decide how she wanted to proceed.
“Are you suggesting that we compete with the Torby family?” Hazel’s eyes narrowed slightly as she seemed to weigh her options.
“Not just the Torby family, but also the Stratford family; they have already formed an alliance,” Dustin corrected her.
“Oh?”
Hazel was momentarily surprised, then sighed with a hint of bitterness. “Young man, you sure know how to present me with a challenge. Dealing with just the Torby family is already quite a task for the Lancaster family. Adding the Stratford family to the mix would make it nearly impossible.”
With the resources of the Lancaster family alone, facing two major powers like the Torby and Stratford families would be extremely difficult.
Even a lone wolf couldn’t compete with two powerful tigers.
