Chapter 1561
Stonedale, Granville.
It was the place where the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale gathered, and it was also the location of Neverland
Pharmaceuticals’ headquarters.
The situation between Stonedale and Eastshire was completely different from one another. The strength of the
Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire could be said to be the weakest among the Six Southern States, as Billy
Newman had pressured the families all the the was in Eastshire.
That was why the development of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire was weak, and could not be compared
with the other states’ families. Before, the White Family, as the leader of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire,
was the strongest among them. However, even their strength would only amount to an average level when

absolute to the extent that smight call them the incarnation of terror. Their strength was just worlds apart
from the White Family.
The very Neverland Pharmaceuticals was jointly established by the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. As the
medical industry in Stonedale developed by leaps and bounds, the incfrom professions of the said industry
was among the top three in the country. That meant that Neverland Pharmaceuticals was a huge deal in
Stonedale, as their market value was valued at close to two hundred billion. Hence, the said company was an
important enterprise to the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale, and perhaps even part of the very foundation of
the families.
Two days ago, when Neverland Pharmaceuticals announced that they had developed a new medication that
would cure three types of cancer, their stock prices immediately shot through the roof. Before the medication
was even released to the public, their stock prices had increased by thirty percent. The families were all over the
moon as they saw the money flowing into their pockets.
Thus, Neverland Pharmaceuticals specifically held a new product launch. They invited famous doctors from all
over the country, from big medical institutions to major pharmaceutical companies, to be present when they
released the medication to the public. Furthermore, they also gathered several cancer patients from all over the
country for a public demonstration of the effectiveness of the Restoration Pill.
The reason why Neverland Pharmaceuticals was doing such huge marketing was to further increase their stock
prices and to announce to the world that they were the inventor of the Restoration Pill. By doing so, they would
be able to sway the public's opinion to completely break any case Cunningham Pharmaceuticals might have
against them.
As soon as Matthew arrived in Granville, Melvin sent him news regarding Neverland Pharmaceuticals’
announcement. There was no doubt that the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale caught wind of the matter back
in Gummeal. Furthermore, they knew that Matthew would contest the ownership of the Restoration Pill, which
was why they made the first move, as they planned to settle this matter before he could even make his move.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Matthew couldn't care less about the announcement. Before entering Granville, he went his separate
ways with Rat, as he had asked the latter to enter the city in advance to scout for information. This was what he
had planned for Rat all along. Although Melvin had his own network of spies all over the Six Southern States, the
Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale weren't slow on the uptake.
On any other day, when the Ten Greatest Families hadn't gotten their guard up against Melvin, there was no
doubt that Melvin would be able to gather information. However, once the Ten Greatest Families put their guard
up, any hopes for Melvin's spies to even get a drip of information would be dashed. This was exactly what
happened with the matter of the Restoration Pills. Since Melvin's spies could not find any useful information,
Matthew brought Rat along, as he intended to rely on the latter to gather the information.
As Rat was just an ordinary person without any background and had never been to Stonedale, the Ten Greatest
Families wouldn't pay any mind to him. Furthermore, he was a cautious person, and having been a pickpocket his
whole life, he was well-versed in covert operations. Hence, Matthew thought that assigning Rat to scout for
information might lead to an unexpected result. As for the former, he went around Stonedale before he took a
bus into Granville discreetly.
