"Aren't novels and TV shows based on true stories? Haha, these might just be hearsay, don't take them seriously. But the people with power to speak in Tricell are all masters of the Travis family," Curtis said with a serious expression.
Only those who have worked in the Ministry of Commerce for many years would know such gossip.
This struck Eddie as quite normal, aligning perfectly with his memories. Excella was indeed very talented and an excellent partner. If he could bring her into his team before Wesker, then Wesker would likely be out of luck, lacking both people and money.
As long as Excella had talent and the Travis family continued to suppress her due to her impure bloodline, Eddie could make good use of the situation!
Chapter 49: Eddie's Secret Research Results?
"Umbrella's medical research is indeed quite good, but it hasn't reached the point of monopoly. We still have a chance. If I can get more resource support, I can develop better medicines than Umbrella," Excella concluded after observing for a while.
"We don't have this opportunity; the company won't let us grow. Excella, the family intends for you to marry into the Tesvila family. This way, you can obtain more resources. What do you think?" Kiravoska asked from behind her.
Excella suddenly stopped, her high heels clicking, her eyes becoming incredibly cold, and her tone mocking, "Heh heh, marry me off? You really have the nerve. A whole bunch of men, only relying on women to support this family, aren't you ashamed?"
Kiravoska also felt a bit embarrassed, but quickly became ruthless again, "There's nothing we can do. For the family's development, sacrificing one or two people is not regrettable. You either develop new medicines that bring huge profits to the group, or you get married!"
These words made Excella feel exceptionally sad. This was also why she looked down on men. She hated weak men and even more despised men who lacked responsibility. Sometimes she would fantasize about meeting a strong and talented man, and even if she had to assist him, she would do so willingly. However, no such man had appeared.
"Gentlemen, the academic seminar is about to begin. Are you ready?" Curtis walked over and asked.
"Yes, we'll be there shortly." Excella was only sad for a moment before forcing herself to cheer up. She was not a woman who gave up easily; otherwise, she would not have become a queen-like figure.
Inside Umbrella's meeting room, adorned with high-tech decor, a circular podium could accommodate hundreds of people. Currently, only a dozen or so people were present, including Annette and Eddie.
Excella cleared her throat, stood up, and displayed an elegant, noble demeanor. "Currently, we plan to develop a military-grade drug that can coagulate blood in a short time, achieving tactical treatment effects. Current medical bandages cannot achieve such an effect. If successful, regions worldwide will throw countless orders our way."
"If a severely injured person is missing an organ, even with this kind of medicine, it would be useless. Your vision is truly superficial. Instead of spending this time, it would be better to develop a medicine that can increase a soldier's combat effectiveness in a short period, and that won't cause too much damage after the enhancement period ends. Current battles are all Assault (assault battles), not prolonged wars like before, fashionable lady!" Eddie sneered.
"You!" Excella was furious that her suggestion had been shot down and ridiculed. Yet, she couldn't find a reason to refute him; this man was simply too sharp. Whether it was his foresight or his detailed thinking, she was at a loss for words.
"Does your company have such a research product?" Kiravoska asked.
"I'm sorry, that's a trade secret and I cannot comment," Curtis said with a smile.
Is there or isn't there? He didn't make it clear at all. That's how business games are; whoever can guess the opponent's trump card wins!
"Perhaps you could choose to develop a cure for cancer. That would definitely make a huge profit!" Eddie sneered.
Annette looked at the confident Eddie, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration. She felt deeply honored to be good friends with such an outstanding person.
"That's easier said than done. That's cancer, an incurable disease. Even if there have been cures, they were due to sheer coincidence. Currently, no one dares to guarantee they can cure cancer!" Excella's beautiful eyes flashed with a fierce light as she stared at Eddie. She had to win this round!
"Tsk tsk tsk, and you claim to have a master's in pharmacy? You should also have a Ph.D. in genetics, right? Have you forgotten even the most basic things? Did you buy your degrees with money?" Eddie shook his head, sneering.
Svetlana watched Eddie, who was starting to become more uninhibited, from behind, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes. According to her observations, this man should be someone who hides behind the scenes to reap benefits without speaking out. Why would he seek the limelight in such a setting? Was it just to show off in front of a woman?
That shouldn't be it! If he were truly such a brainless man, he wouldn't be worthy of Svetlana's special attention. This man must have a different objective! Thinking of this, Svetlana's curiosity grew even stronger.
"What did you say! You need to take responsibility for your words; this is slander!" Excella reprimanded coldly, trying to get her attention this way?
"I almost forgot, you're also a famous businesswoman. You've made a lot of money from long-distance trade, haven't you? I don't deny that you have more assets than I do, but your IQ is definitely lower than mine. Cancer cells are not incurable; it's just that existing human cells cannot engulf these cancer cells, coupled with immune system deficiencies, that leads to cancer cells evolving into cancer." Eddie twirled a pen in his right hand.
The pen spun back and forth between his fingertips, coupled with his lazy posture, making him look like a top student with a rogue's charm!
Excella's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then she sneered, "You talk as if you have a solution for cancer. Are you bragging?"
"I only have an idea, which doesn't mean I have a solution right now. I've only succeeded halfway. You can come with me; in the lab, you'll see it clearly." Eddie stood up and walked towards the door.
Curtis's eyes lit up. If such a drug truly existed, he would have to find a way to invite the other party to dinner and secure the sales rights for this drug in his department. Then, he wouldn't have to worry about sales and bonuses anymore!
Annette was also very surprised. Had Eddie managed to create that experimental drug? While G-Virus was superior to T-Virus, T-Virus was undoubtedly the most mature product.
Only T-Virus could be widely used in medicine.
The group arrived at Eddie's former laboratory. The lab was not large; as Eddie's exclusive space, no one else used it.
Eddie took out a small, almost transparent test tube of serum from his tactical backpack, mixed it with more serum to dilute it further, and fiddled with it for a while, following experimental steps that even Excella couldn't quite grasp.
"This little white mouse is a test subject that has already been transplanted with cancer cells. You see, under the microscope, the cancer cells are starting to spread and quickly gain a foothold. The mouse's immune system cannot detect the presence of the cancer cells at all. White blood cells can engulf cancer cells, but the production speed of the two is not on the same level. Once cancer cells accumulate to a certain extent, they will evolve into cancer," Eddie said, pointing at the projector.

Chapter 50: Jill's Pregnancy Symptoms?
The experiment proceeded normally up to this point, and Excella even went up to personally inspect it. It was indeed cancer cells; most cancer cells are similar—cunning, difficult to eradicate, and capable of lying dormant and hiding.
"That's right, and then what? What's your solution?" Excella's tone became curious; she was eager to learn new knowledge.
"This is my exclusive method!" Eddie took out a test tube. This was T-Virus that had been diluted to be almost invisible. Besides the serum, he had also added some probiotics and other substances.
After injecting the agent into the cancerous white mouse, the results were projected onto the screen under microscopic observation.
It could be seen that after the serum entered, the previously dying white mouse began to perk up, became aggressive, and then quickly gnawed at the rotten food in front of it.
The tumor still slowly decreased; the projection showed white blood cells, having absorbed the mysterious agent, engulfing the cancer cells, expelling them, and the injured area was slowly healing.
After the inspection report came out, the cancer in the white mouse had completely disappeared!
This was an astonishing report! Both Excella and Svetlana were shocked; cancer, which was incurable worldwide, had actually been cured. This news, if released, would cause a global stir!
Excella's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, and her gaze towards Eddie changed. It was no longer hostile but filled with immense appreciation. Her attitude shifted quickly and realistically.
Men with cars, houses, and good looks are certainly more noticed and liked by women than those without.
"This! How is this possible? Such a thing is impossible. You must be lying; I don't believe cancer can be cured!" A Tricell executive exclaimed.
"You're right, I genuinely cannot cure cancer. This agent is still in the experimental stage; it's my secret recipe from my vacation. The agent uses a highly potent poison. You see, although the cancer is cured, the white mouse also can't withstand this poison. Its life is starting to decline, and it will die soon," Eddie said calmly.
There was not a hint of joy, yet this was a major breakthrough in pharmacology, an experiment that could definitely go down in history!
Excella's eyes were filled with joy, but seeing Eddie's calm demeanor, she felt very puzzled, "Dr. Eddie, aren't you proud of your research?"
Eddie shook his head, "There's nothing to be proud of. This experiment is a failure. Until it's successful, I won't feel excited. It hasn't become a finished product yet, so what's there to be happy about?"
This man was surprisingly arrogant, wanting to complete the finished product all at once! For the first time, Excella chose to believe a man's words; she did not doubt his academic abilities.
"Dr. Eddie, I think we can cooperate to develop this project. We are very good at poisons. Once this project is researched, we only need forty percent of the profit. We will cover all miscellaneous expenses; you just need to sit back and collect the money!" Kiravoska said excitedly.
Curtis frowned, "This is company confidential. If you want to cooperate, further negotiations are needed."
"I'm not interested in such things, and given time, I can research it myself. It seems your researchers are nothing special. Anyway, I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now." Eddie shook his head. He didn't have time to show off here; he just wanted to impress Excella.
Excella was a very intelligent woman. If she could be brought into the team, it would definitely greatly enhance his strength. This woman was very good at business and had a unique talent and understanding in genetic engineering and biology.
