...

"Did you find out?"

Helen was also taken aback, her snow-white face blushed slightly, and her blue eyes shimmered with a strange allure.

"I'm not an idiot..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but smile wryly.

As he said, the drink that Helen handed him just now indeed had something extra added to it.

At first, he really didn't notice...

Mainly because he regarded Helen as one of his own, so he didn't give it much thought... Moreover, Qin Fang is almost immune to any poison, so he wasn't worried about the drug in the drink, not to mention that he is an alchemist with a high sensitivity to medications.

Even though the drug added to the drink should have been specially made, Qin Fang could still clearly feel it. Initially, he didn't care, but when an odd warmth surged through him, he truly understood.

"I just..."

It was rare, but this sexy, alluring woman appeared extremely shy, pinching the hem of her black evening dress with her snow-white jade hands, looking incredibly bashful... completely different from her usual demeanor.

"Okay, let's talk about serious matters first..."

Qin Fang didn't want to continue with this, having already vaguely guessed Helen Dayangma's purpose... If he questioned her further, who knows what she might do.

"Oh, okay..."

Helen swallowed her words, looking at Qin Fang with an exceptionally strange gaze, but eventually, she didn't speak and instead turned serious, starting to discuss business with Qin Fang.

In fact, the main issues had already been handled by Chu Yunxuan, with the only real hassle being the American agency rights...

Originally, Qin Fang's Daqin Pharmaceutical was a joint venture with Reid Pharmaceuticals, the family behind Helen, with both sides holding a certain percentage of shares. However, recently, there was significant turmoil within Reid Pharmaceuticals, and Helen's position was severely weakened, with her on the verge of being ousted.

Given the situation and the threat to Daqin Pharmaceutical, Chu Yunxuan decisively issued a takeover bid in the name of the board of directors, intending to forcibly buy back the 30% shares held by Reid Pharmaceuticals at an extremely high price.

Unfortunately, they acted slightly late, and 23% of the shares were already acquired by others, these shares were very scattered, making the acquisition extremely difficult, coupled with a tough opponent, they had no choice but to let it be...

According to the original plan, America's agency rights for Fangyun No.1 were to be prioritized to Reid Pharmaceuticals, but now that the cooperation between the two sides has broken down, Daqin Pharmaceutical had to look for another partner.

At this time, Qin Fang's rival, the scoundrel Ron who once deceived Chu Yunxuan, jumped out...

Behind him is one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in America, one of the world's Fortune 500 companies, and he made it clear that agency rights in America and throughout North and South America could only be given to his family.

If other companies took over, they would face a full-scale attack from his family's forces...

To demonstrate their massive foundation and strength, they united several giant financial groups for a combined strike... If Daqin Pharmaceutical were a listed company, they might've been troubled severely.

Although there is no direct evidence linking the mysterious entity that acquired 23% of Reid Pharmaceuticals' shares with Ron, it is almost certain that Ron is behind it. Ron is extremely cautious and methodical, leaving no evidence behind.

"This is really troublesome..."

To be honest, Qin Fang, who keeps his hands free, isn't typically very concerned about Daqin Pharmaceutical.

Its emergence was largely a coincidence.

Even if it goes under, Qin Fang wouldn't feel too distressed, he could easily start another one... He has some valuable formulas with broad applications, and the materials aren't hard to find, so it can be replaced.

However, with Ron involved, and so aggressively, Qin Fang cannot remain lenient.

Who is Ron?

He is Qin Fang's romantic rival...

Although this matter is already a thing of the past and Chu Yunxuan is unlikely to have any connection with him again, Ron is still harboring ill intentions... Now he has even dared to provoke Qin Fang directly, so Qin Fang cannot back down.

"Looks like I'll really need to make a trip to America..."

Ron is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, disrupting Qin Fang's business is one thing, but displeasing Chu Yunxuan is what truly angers him.

After a brief consideration, it was clear that a warning alone would not suffice, so Qin Fang felt it necessary to make a trip to America to personally have a 'good talk' with Ron and thoroughly resolve this matter.

Moreover, Qin Fang always felt that there seemed to be something clandestine he hadn't guessed, making this trip to America even more crucial.

"Going to America?"

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Helen couldn't help but open her mouth, appearing quite surprised, and said with a face full of excitement, "You're insane..."

"Do you know that it's Ron's territory, and his ties with the American Mafia are extremely close? If you go there..."

Compared to Qin Fang, Helen, who hails from America, knows more about the situation over there.

Within Reid Pharmaceuticals, the internal turmoil, while Helen has been marginalized, she vaguely knows it's Ron pulling the strings... Moreover, Ron's status in America is quite extraordinary, and he maintains good relationships with the excellent offspring of those powerful families.

"In college, he was very good friends with Nora Gambino, reportedly they were both members of Skull and Bones..."

Helen's absolutely beautiful face was filled with worry, as she candidly shared the information she had gathered with Qin Fang.

"Moreover, Ron's father is not only a member of Freemasonry, but he also holds a very high position..."

Mentioning this, she appeared somewhat silent and serious, yet for Qin Fang's comprehensive consideration, she did not hide it.

"Skull and Bones?"

For this name, Qin Fang was not unfamiliar; it is a famously elite organization globally, initially originating from a fraternity at Yale University in America, which, after nearly two hundred years of development, has become even more renowned.

Out of Skull and Bones came 3 presidents, two supreme court justices, countless American congressmen, and cabinet officials. Nowadays, in America, from the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court, even to the CIA, Skull and Bones' members are virtually omnipresent.

This forms an extremely terrifying web of power and connections, in which Ron is immersed and can leverage a very formidable authority... he may have to pay some costs, but relatively much smaller.

"Freemasonry..."

What really made Qin Fang frown was the mysterious organization behind Ron's father...

Compared to Freemasonry, an elite organization like Skull and Bones is nothing more than child's play, simply not on the same level... Freemasonry is definitely considered the world's largest secret organization, with no parallel!

It originated more than four thousand years ago, and the initial Freemasons claimed they were descendants of Cain, comprehending the mysteries of heaven, Earth, and the Universe. It's a very fearsome secret organization, with influence almost spanning the entire globe.

After thousands of years of development, although Freemasonry has experienced splits, it gradually took the high-road, attracting the entry of many upper-class, wealthy families, its strength not shrinking a bit, but rather growing further.

Openly, Freemasonry has over 6 million members, but almost two-thirds of these members are in America, numbering more than 4 million...

This is a very frightening number, sufficiently demonstrating this organization's powerfulness...

Moreover, within Freemasonry, there is an extremely strict hierarchy; the higher a person's position, the more terrifying the power they can wield... It can even be said that if the Freemasonry's leader, the Supreme Master, wants to be the emperor, they can effortlessly control a vast country.

Of course, Freemasonry nominally requires its members to be loyal to their residing countries...

But in actual practice, only the higher core of Freemasonry knows most intimately.

Ron's father holds a not-so-low position in Freemasonry. According to Helen's implication, even if he's not among the core, he is already infinitely close to that tier...

Qin Fang couldn't help but frown. He could ignore Ron, ignore the Skull and Bones behind him, but he couldn't underestimate the existence of Freemasonry...

He is considered a Martial Artist, and also a person of the Underground World...

So somewhat knowledgeable about the secret affairs of the Underground World.

Nominally, the Underground World is collectively constituted by the Mercenary Alliance, Assassin's Alliance, Black Fist Alliance, and some relatively loose organizations... They integrate into real society but also exist independently of real society.

This Underground World has appeared for a very long time, so long that many people can't verify the era of its emergence anymore...

But one thing can be ascertained...

It is said that in the early formation of the Underground World, all major alliance founders had received massive funding from Freemasonry, which means behind the Underground World, there's also the shadow of Freemasonry, and perhaps, Freemasonry secretly controls a very terrifying armed force!

"This really is getting more and more interesting..."

Understanding these, as Qin Fang pondered the entire matter, he increasingly felt there was nothing simple about it, "It seems like this trip to America, I truly need to go even more..."
