Thirty billion was not a problem for the Grant family, however, the risk of the project was too huge.

Nevertheless, their business acumen told them that with high risks came the possibility of high returns.

Currently, the Westmarch region had suppressed Eurasia. Furthermore, they have sealed the technology and limited the import of high-end microchips into Eurasia. This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to he many local mobile phone manufacturers and technological companies.

However, if they really managed to develop their own core technology, they would be able to solve the irgent need for microchips locally, hence, be the first one in the country to reap the rewards.

Moreover, the government had also issued the plan to construct an 'internal circulation economy' to create a self-sustaining environment to counter any sanctions and restrictions.

This opened up a major opportunity for those in the business sector.

The most important fact here was Alex had helped to save Richard's life, and he was going to refine the Pill of Longevity for him too. With all that Alex had done, the Grant family quickly reached an igréement. They would take the risk and willing to invest 30 billion.

This 30 billion would not ruin them even if they had burned it all. At the very least, they would still be in good relations with Alex.

On the other hand, should the gamble paid off, they would be the second-largest shareholder, and the lividends earned each year would be a very handsome amount.

Having gained the investment of the Grant family, Alex heaved a sigh of relief..

His mission to Lumenopolis this time would be counted as a great success.

Later, they all had dinner together under the hospitality of the Grant family. During the meal, Auriel Skyworth could not stop herself from asking, "Dr. Jefferson, did you ha heart attack before? You seem o be getting better. Or am I wrong in my previous diagnosis?"

She stared at Alex, replaceing it weird. She was sure she had sensed that Alex had a heart attack previously.

Tyrael laughed and said, "My dear Auriel, Dr. Jefferson was just pulling your leg. He does not suffer from ny pulmonary complications. He merely used his Mortal Force to change the force flow of his heart, ricking you into believing that he has a heart attack."

Auriel felt embarrassed. She did not realize that Dr. Jefferson would pull a trick on her.

However, her impression of Alex had changed for the better, and she did not blame him.

Alex smiled at her and said, "That is merely something to test your skills. I am pleasantly surprised that you can spot the sign, albeit it being faked. At least this shows that you have attained a high proficiency in he area of diagnosis."

Auriel felt shy to receive such high praise from Alex. At the same time, she was feeling excited.

After all, in her eyes, Alex was the divine physician who was even more skillful than her grandfather.

During the dinner, Deckard asked for another Pill of Vitality. Alex agreed, saying that he would give him one after he completed refining of the pill.

Tyrael hesitated for a long time before finally asked, "Dr. Jefferson, is there any form of cure for this old-age sickness of mine?"

He had been injured during his younger days, and even though it was healed, he got injured again just not long ago, but the injury got more severe. He himself had refined some medicine which only managed to suppress the injury but not fully healing it. Due to that, he was unable to raise his inner mortal force.

Witnessing Alex's skills in alchemy, he struggled and dealt with his ego before he finally asked for help.

By asking for help, he was admitting that he was inferior to Alex.

Hence, this was indeed a very difficult decision.

Alex studied Tyrael for a while. He had actually noticed the latter's condition, but since Tyrael never asked for help, it would be prudent to keep silent.

However, now that Tyrael had personally asked him, he could not refuse such an earnest, wholehearted request. Thus, Alex offered, "I will give you a pill now and you'll be cured."

Tyrael's eyes lit up and replied excitedly, "Thank you very much, Mr. Jefferson!"

Alex took out a Pill of Revival and handed it to Tyrael. The medicinal fragrance of the pill immediately shocked him.

"Swallow this. You will be healed within ten minutes," said Alex confidently.

Tyrael nodded and swallowed the pill in one gulp. Everyone looked at Tyrael expectantly as they wondered whether the pill would be as effective as the one given to Deckard previously.
