Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

The Masa Family could not afford to lose the Masa Group. They knew that, even without the help of the clown pharmacist, they could still hold on to the Stanlos Base Camp's market. But, if they were to lose 90% of their shares, they would lose everything.

"No, you're wrong. Without my help, the Masa Group would be nothing. You have expanded too fast and offended too many people. Even the banks were lending you huge amounts of money because of my reputation alone," Steve said calmly.

He then added, "Once I declare that I am not collaborating with you any longer, you will not be able to repay all of the interest and loans with the existing funds from the Masa Group. At the same time, the influential forces that you have offended during this period will also make you pay everything back. Then, the Masa Group will be left with nothing!"

Christina turned pale when she thought about the consequences of losing the clown pharmacist's support. She had a sudden realization that what the clown pharmacist had just said was right.

Recently, the Masa Group had expanded rapidly and even developed its presence in the capital of the Wander City State and other base camps. She knew that this was all made possible because of the fame and reputation of the clown pharmacist!

As the Masa Group was the only company that collaborated with the clown pharmacist, it was often mistaken as being the official spokesperson for the clown pharmacist. Although the clown pharmacist was only a F-grade pharmacist, he created epoch-making pharmaceuticals, which affected the future development of mankind.

Thus, the influential forces, including the Whitby Pharmaceutical Group, the Clark Pharmaceutical Group, and the Mera Family were all willing to work with the Masa Group because of the clown pharmacist.

If the Masa Group were to lose the clown pharmacist's collaboration, Christina was sure that these influential forces would immediately abandon the Masa Group. Then, the Masa Group would not be able to repay the loans that they owed! All of these problems could potentially destroy the Masa Group and cause them to lose everything!

"I have not signed any contract with the Masa Group, so I can always find another company to replace you. Moreover, you are not qualified to negotiate with me." Steve was indifferent.

Christina trembled and said, "Your Honor, the Masa Group has been working for you and has given you a lot of help. Please be kind to us."

"Although you have helped me, my fame and reputation has brought you far more benefits than I have retained. Besides, even without the Masa Group, I can achieve the same results if I were to collaborate with someone else," Steve said.

Steve knew that the most important component was his own capability, so he was confident that he could make a name for himself with his Fantasy Serum. No matter which influential forces laid their hands on it, they would be able to promote it very well.

So, it was not the Masa Group that had made the clown pharmacist famous, but the clown pharmacist that had made the Masa Group famous! Thus, Steve could afford to lose the Masa Group, but the Masa Group could not afford to lose him!

"Ever since you have made use of my fame and reputation, how many times has the Masa Group expanded? Moreover, if I were to invest in the Masa Group, the Masa Group would surely become even more successful in the future, expanding exponentially," Steve said calmly. "At that time, you will reap even more benefits. So, as I am only asking for 90% of your shares, it seems more than reasonable."

Christina knew the benefits involved. If the news of the clown pharmacist investing in the Masa Group spread, countless influential forces would flock to work with them as well. At that time, even if they were to own only 10% of their shares, the benefits they would reap would be unimaginable!

"But..." Christina still wished to negotiate.

"No negotiating. I can promise you that the Masa Group will still be under your control. I will only take what I deserve, and I will not interfere with the development of the Masa Group unless needed," Steve said, "This is my last offer."

After all, Steve knew that it was not easy to manage a large group. He also knew that he did not have the time and energy to manage it himself. Thus, he would leave them in charge.

Of course, Steve would still be the controller from behind the scenes. He would maintain control of the vital elements of the Masa Group, the fame of the clown pharmacist, and his Fantasy Serum.

"I need to consult the directors about this," Christina said calmly.

"The exchange conference is about to begin, so your time is running out," Steve said.

Christina immediately logged in to the virtual cyberspace and held an emergency meeting with the shareholders of the Masa Group. Just as the clown pharmacist had said, time was not on their side. If the influential powers were to find out that the relationship between the Masa Group and the clown pharmacist was not as close as they had been led to believe, the Masa Group would suffer a heavy blow to their business and reputation.

Steve waited calmly for their response. He thought that his offer was quite reasonable.

Just as he said, he had brought great benefits to the Masa Group. With his fame and reputation, the Masa Group had expanded rapidly, allowing them to reap enormous benefits. Now, he simply wanted to take what he deserved.

Also, Steve needed an obedient spokesman to carry out his tasks for him. After all, he could not do many things as the clown pharmacist, but the Masa Group could carry out these tasks for him.

In less than five minutes, the emergency meeting was over. "We are willing to accept your terms," Christina agreed.

"That's a smart choice." Steve laughed.

"What time do you intend to go to the conference? We can send the fastest suspension fighter to pick you up," she said.

"No need, as I'm already in the conference hall," Steve replied.

Just after Steve had finished speaking, the lights were dimmed.

Bang!

Suddenly, a spotlight was shining down on the platform in the middle of the conference. On the platform, a man with a clown mask was seen.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm the clown pharmacist!" Steve's voice was processed by the Heart of the Universe to disguise it, which also made it sound extra charming.

Hearing his charming voice, which made everyone feel soothed very comfortable, everyone was shocked and excited. Christina was the most shocked, as they did not plan this segment for today's conference.

At the same time, she remembered that there had been no sign of the clown pharmacist among the guests who had arrived just today. This made Christina wonder…

Has he been mingling around among the guests all this time?
