Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 183

The Crane family had the power to enforce an economic blockade, but they hadn't anticipated the viral speed of the youth cream's success.

Even Ernest himself had seen A Phoenix's Rebirth.

When he glanced at the flood of comments and reactions, he erupted in rage and slammed his fist onto his keyboard, shattering it into pieces.

"Why you… Fine! I've underestimated you!" Ernest ground his teeth in fury.

Under normal circumstances, the Crane family would have suppressed news like this.

But now… Even if they tried, it was too late.

…

Geller Cosmetics was in chaos—phones rang non-stop, orders poured in like an unstoppable tide, and within hours, their inventory was running dangerously low.

More importantly, their supply of key ingredients was dwindling fast.

If they took too many orders without stock, the backlash would be devastating.

"I'll figure something out." Daniel had anticipated this problem.

Although Shadowheart Vine was difficult to obtain, he still had connections at the Immortal Syndicate.

…

When Daniel met Regine again, she was dressed in casual attire, her light makeup enhancing her strikingly bold, red lips. She was, as always, stunning.

"I think 'Fairy of Many Faces' suits you better. Every time I see you, you leave a different, breathtaking impression," Daniel teased.

Regina smiled playfully. "If I can earn such praise from you, Mr. Ashcroft, that's an honor."

Having said that, she looked straight at Daniel. "Are you looking to sell more elixirs, seeking me out so urgently?"

"I will be selling some, but I also need a certain ingredient—Shadowheart Vine." Daniel then emphasized, "I need it urgently."

Anyone who examined the footage closely would notice that Mikayla had used a specially formulated version of the youth cream.

It didn't mean that the regular youth cream had no effect. Over time, it would achieve the same effects.

"Deal!" Daniel agreed instantly without hesitation.

The transaction went smoothly, but before leaving, Regina's expression turned solemn.

"I've recently received some disturbing information," she said in a low voice. "A powerful group has infiltrated Qranross. The moment they arrived, they disappeared without a trace. I have reason to believe they're coming after you. You should be careful."

"Alright. Thanks for the warning." Daniel nodded.

Although he had Alden handling things for him, he was still just an ordinary man. Against martial artists, he wouldn't stand a chance.

For Regina to bring this up specifically, these people must be martial artists. There was no doubt about it.

However, if these people decided to stay low, there was nothing Daniel could do.
