Chapter 1293 The High-stakes Negotiation

• Even as Claire Wentworth and her group approached, he dared not let his guard down for a second. But the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled back into place. The young mistress had arrived, and it felt like he had found his backbone again.
• As soon as Claire got there, the white man quickly relayed their negotiation results to the president of the International Medical Association, Winsen Xiloste. Claire watched the man from a distance. He looked to be around sixty, but he was well-preserved and had a fit physique. A pair of rimless glasses perched on his nose, giving him an air of academic sophistication. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was a highly respected medical expert.
• He seemed displeased that the white man had brought Claire and the others back, and after a brief exchange of words—during which the white man nodded obsequiously—the conversation lasted about five minutes. The white man then rushed back, stating that they needed to test the medicine provided by Alexandre to ensure it was non-toxic before anyone on their side would take it. He also claimed that they were being transparent and working for the advancement of global medical progress.
