The mercury dichloride that was hastily poured into Walter’s mouth took effect almost immediately, intensifying his difort and pain. In that moment, he realized the gravity of the situation and how severely he had jeopardized his health, particrly the state of his kidneys.


    Walter had always believed that his wealth, status, and family background granted him immunity from consequences. With ten billion dors in family assets, many things in life seemed trivial to him.


    During his time in the United States, Walter often found himself in precarious situations. He figured that even if hemitted a serious crime, like murder, he could easily resolve it with a few million dors, which wouldn’tplicate his life too much.


    Had Mr. Young’s poisoning urred in the United States, a scandal would have cost him only a few hundred thousand dors to cover up with a scapegoat. Even if the world knew what he had done, he could leverage his connections within the U.S. judicial system to shift all me away from himself and escape any repercussions.


    However, Walter had underestimated the danger he was in by crossing Master Wade. Offending someone of Master Wade’s caliber couldn’t be resolved with money!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In a matter of hours, Walter transformed from a robust young man into a terminally ill patient, nearly immobile and writhing on the floor in agony.


    A doctor arranged by Isaac Cameron was closely monitoring Walter’s condition, measuring his blood creatinine levels every thirty minutes.


    In that short span, Walter’s creatinine levels skyrocketed from an initial 75 to 200, then 500, 800, and ultimately over 1500. This rming rise signified that his kidneys had sufferedplete failure. The doctor swiftly ced Walter on dialysis, a process that essentially replicates kidney function artificially.


    When the kidneys cease to operate, dialysis serves as a substitute, performing the necessary detoxification and filtration of blood. While this procedure managed to save Walter’s life, it also meant that he was now reliant on the machine, unable to escape the reality of his condition.


    …


    Meanwhile, in New York City, inside a towering skyscraper in Manhattan, a man in his fifties named Steve Hogwitz paced anxiously in his office. Steve is Walter’s father.<fnba30> Updates are released by find?novel</fnba30>


    As the clock struck three in the afternoon, Steve had been trying to contact Walter since nine that morning, but all his attempts had gone unanswered.


    Worried that Walter might be in some kind of trouble in China, he reached out to Walter’s associates, but they were all unounted for. Some executives who had apanied Walter to Aurous Hill were reachable, yet they had no idea of his whereabouts after the previous evening.


    Desperate to track down his son, these executives contacted the Aurous Hill police, but the authorities reported no leads on Walter’s location. It was as if he had vanished without a trace. Upon receiving this troubling news, Steve realized the severity of the situation.


    He picked up the phone on his desk andmanded with urgency, “Book a flight immediately, I’m heading to China!”
