Chapter 100. Test
Joaquin Duato, holding his phone, had a deep frown on his face. "Damn that kid. I need to ask Isaac about him." He dialed Isaac's number and waited for an answer.
"Hello, Isaac. Who is that kid? He was so impatient, and was he telling the truth? Did he actually have a formula for cancer? He told me I only had today to buy it, but I needed to test it first. I need more information about that kid," Joaquin said.
"Neo is telling the truth. I met his friends last night who have cancer. As for the formula, I don't know much about it, but if it's Neo, he's being honest. Trust him, Joaquin. By the way, he is the owner of the stones your friend wants to buy. That's all I can say, haha. Trust that kid. Bye, I'm busy," Isaac replied before ending the call.
"He's the owner of the Neo Blue Diamond? Damn. I need to contact someone to bring me lab equipment and a person willing to take a risk," Joaquin said. He quickly dialed another number and instructed them to do what he needed.
He exited his hotel room and walked to another room with guards. He requested to meet the king. His friend is the king of the Netherlands, and because he had connections with Isaac, Joaquin asked him for a favor to buy the diamond without going to auction. However, Isaac mentioned that the owner wanted it to be auctioned. With no choice, the king traveled to LA to try and win the bid. He invited Joaquin to watch the bidding.
After confirming that the king was awake, the guard allowed Joaquin into the room, where he saw King Willem.
"Why are you rushing, Joaquin? The auction starts at 6 PM, and it's only 1:30 PM," Willem said, inviting Joaquin to take a seat.
"I'm here because I'll be going somewhere later. Maybe you'd like to meet him," Joaquin replied.
"Who? Is that why you're so excited?" Willem asked.
"To be honest, someone called me and said he has a formula to cure cancer. At first, I didn't believe it, but he said he got my number from Isaac. He asked me to bring a cancer patient and lab equipment to prove that it's legitimate medicine today. Only today! If I can't, he'll sell it to Pfizer," Joaquin explained.
"Is it true? If so, that would be amazing but also a disaster. If a cure is discovered, the pros are that millions of people could be cured and it might lead to discovering other cures. But the cons are that doctors and nurses who specialize in cancer could be heavily impacted; they might lose their jobs," Willem analyzed.
