Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

"Understood, boss. We have arranged the best ward and the most professional medical staff for her."

Killian nodded and continued, "Also, our large-scale recruitment of terminally ill patients for treatment has been exposed by the media, and now many news outlets are discussing this."

"Really?"

Mark became interested, and after hanging up the phone, he began searching for news about the future of medicine.

#Can it really cure terminal illnesses, or is it just sensationalism?#

#How dare a pharmaceutical company I've never heard of claim it can cure terminal illnesses?#

#This is shameless hype! The lives of terminally ill patients matter too!#

……

Numerous news articles about Future Medicine Company have appeared online, most of which are critical and condemnatory.

After all, many top pharmaceutical companies cannot cure this incurable disease, yet a previously unknown pharmaceutical company dares to claim that it can cure it. How can anyone believe that?

Many media outlets believe that this is just another instance of unscrupulous capital engaging in baseless hype.

It's a pity that those terminally ill patients, who are already pitiful, are also being deceived by future medicines and used as guinea pigs and hype tools.

Mark wasn't too bothered by the media criticism.

Facts speak louder than words.

Once the terminally ill patients participating in the clinical trials are actually cured, the public opinion of these media outlets will naturally change.

Mark then called Silas again to inquire about the game company's business performance this month.

"Boss, this month, more than 100 million users have become members of Panda Chat software, and the revenue from this alone has reached more than 500 million US dollars."

Silas reported to Mark.

He now admires Mark's judgment to the core.

He was not optimistic about the membership system at first.

After all, users of chat software are used to free services, so it's not easy to get them to spend money, even if it's only $5 a month.

However, after implementing mechanisms such as setting members to red names, adding prestigious badges, and customizing software skins, a large number of users actually started to recharge and purchase memberships.

Especially with the explosive popularity of the web game Happy Farm, more and more people have become members because members get discounts on in-game items.

Many people in the industry now know that Panda Chat software generates more than $500 million in monthly revenue.

Other instant messaging software has also begun to follow suit and launch its own membership system.

However, now the users of instant messaging software have basically all been snatched up by Panda Chat!

Their membership program didn't attract many customers.

One wrong step and you're behind for life. Now, it's too late for the companies behind these instant messaging apps to regret their actions.

Two weeks later, Future Pharmaceutical Company.

"Is my illness really cured?"

An elderly woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties looked at Killian in front of her with disbelief.

"Excellent! Ms. Windsor, according to our blood tests and CT scan, all the cancerous cells in your body have disappeared, and your lungs have fully recovered."

With a smile, Killian handed the medical report to Allison Windsor—Daphne's mother.

"Mom, that's great! You're finally recovered!"

Daphne, standing nearby, was moved to tears and rushed forward to hug Alison tightly.

Since learning that her mother had a terminal illness, she felt like she was trapped in a nightmare, constantly worrying that she would suddenly lose her mother one day.

Now that she has learned that Alison has been completely cured, Daphne's excitement is beyond words.

At this moment, the relatives of other patients participating in the clinical trial were just as excited as Daphne.

Of the 20 patients, two died during the clinical trial due to extreme weakness, while the rest were all successfully cured.

"Thank you, Future Medicine Company! If it weren't for you, my father would have already been called by God and left this world."

"It's amazing! I never imagined that my mother's terminal illness could be completely cured in such a short time! Unbelievable!"

"..."

They expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the employees of Killian and Future Medicine.

On the contrary, those patients, because they were injected with neurodepressants, appeared to be very calm.

After these people excitedly left Future Pharmaceuticals, they immediately attracted the attention of a group of media reporters outside.

The online criticism of Future Pharma has not stopped during this period, which has made many media reporters see an opportunity and have been staking out Future Pharma's premises.

They want to wait until all the patients participating in the clinical trials die, then photograph their bodies and publish the photos in the newspaper to strongly criticize Future Pharmaceuticals for disregarding human life!

Unexpectedly, what they received was not corpses, but the patients who had become lively and energetic!

"Could it be that the pharmaceutical company in the future has actually cured all these terminally ill patients?"

The reporters looked at each other in disbelief.

If this is true, it would be even more explosive news!

Then, like sharks smelling blood, they swarmed towards the patients who had participated in the experiment.

Chapter 77 Tony Protects His Child

The patients and their families who had just left Future Medicine were quickly surrounded by reporters who inquired about their treatment.

"Are your terminal illnesses truly completely curable?"

"Could you tell me what methods future medicine will use to cure you?"

"..."

A group of reporters started asking questions all at once.

Under the pressure of the reporters' money, these patients and their families did not hide anything and told everyone in detail about their participation in the clinical trial.

Soon, major news radio stations and online media began reporting the news that these terminally ill patients had been cured by future medicine.

#A future pharmaceutical company conquers incurable diseases, rewriting the line between life and death!#

#Medical Miracle: Incurable Diseases Are No Longer Untreatable; Biotechnology Ushers in a Revolutionary Era.#

#A mysterious pharmaceutical company from obscurity to global sensation!#

"..."

Exaggerated news headlines appeared on major news radio stations and newspapers.

The harsher their criticism of the future of medicine was before, the more exaggerated their praise for it is now.

Future Pharma, which originally had a market value of less than ten million US dollars, has seen its value skyrocket, with some investors giving it an initial valuation of 26 billion US dollars.

This means that if Mark were willing to sell his shares, he could immediately become a billionaire with over a billion dollars in capital.

"Boss, more and more people are coming to our door with money, wanting to invest in our Future Medicine. How should we respond to them?"

Future Medicine's president, Declan Lyle, called to ask Mark for instructions.

"All requests for investment or shareholding will be rejected."

Mark said without hesitation.

The Extremis virus can not only cure terminal illnesses, but in the future it can also enhance the human body, truly possessing unlimited potential.

Mark wants to develop Future Pharmaceuticals into a true industry giant, so how could he possibly sell his shares now?

"But there are people from the Trask Group among them! They threatened that if we don't let them invest, they will cut off our supply of raw materials for manufacturing the Extremis virus!"

Declan said with some concern.

"Trask is as domineering as ever!"

Mark sneered inwardly and said to Declan, "I've already purchased a batch of raw materials, enough for the company to use for six months, so you don't need to worry for now."

The Trask Group had clearly guessed that the research data on the Extremis virus they had stolen last time might be problematic, which is why they came directly to threaten them.

However, Mark had anticipated this.

He knew that once the pharmaceutical company became famous, it would inevitably attract the envy and covetousness of countless investors.

Even without Trask, other capital groups would coerce and entice Future Pharmaceuticals to acquire shares or formulas for drugs that treat terminal illnesses.

Therefore, Mark had prepared a batch of raw materials in advance, just in case.

For the next few days, almost every day people went to Future Pharma to ask to invest, and there were quite a few capital groups like Trask that made threatening remarks.

Without exception, they were all firmly rejected by Future Pharma.

These companies didn't hold back either, immediately joining forces to suppress Future Pharma through various means.

A large number of negative news stories about Future Medicine began to appear in the media.

Is it genuinely treating and saving lives, or just a glamorous performance? According to our reporter, the so-called "patients" participating in clinical trials are merely paid shills; they were not actually sick!

According to a private investigation by a reporter, future medical treatments for terminal illnesses have significant side effects, and patients often do not survive more than a year after being discharged from the hospital.

……

A barrage of negative news has emerged, seemingly bringing the pharmaceutical industry back to the state of being universally condemned.

Under the threat of major capital groups, those material suppliers dared not continue to sell raw materials to Future Pharma.

Although the future of pharmaceuticals is promising, its current strength and influence cannot compare with these capital giants.

If Mark hadn't made preparations in advance, Killian and Maya's experimental research would have been forced to stop.

New York, Stark Industries headquarters.

"Sir, Future Pharma is currently under attack from more than ten capital groups. The public opinion against them is very unfavorable! Capital groups such as Trask and Osborn are communicating privately to make Future Pharma go bankrupt and then they will split the shares and share the drug formula for treating terminal diseases."

Jarvis shared the information he had gathered.

"These capitalist groups are still as greedy as ever!"

Tony sneered and immediately called his secretary, Pepper Potts, into the president's office.

“Pepper, you’ve released information through Stark Industries that we, Stark Industries, have formed a strategic alliance with Future Pharma, and that any capital group that uses unfair business practices against Future Pharma will be considered a challenge to Stark Industries!”

"In addition, we can ask Future Pharma to provide us with their list of raw materials, which can be sourced through our group's channels."

Tony instructed Pepper.

“Mr. Stark, but Future Medicines shouldn’t have any connection with our company, right? Why should we take the blame for them?”

Pepper asked, somewhat surprised.

She didn't know why Tony was going to such lengths to help Future Medicine; he had never been this attentive to even the group's subsidiaries.

"You don't need to worry about that, just do as I say!"

Tony waved his hand and said.

“Yes, Mr. Stark.”

……

As soon as Stark Industries released the news, the media's smear campaign and various negative news stories about Future Medicine came to an abrupt halt.

Although these news media outlets received money from major capital groups to target future pharmaceuticals, Stark Industries is the true behemoth of the Federation, and they certainly wouldn't dare to provoke it easily.

The blockade originally intended to target future pharmaceutical raw materials has completely lost its effectiveness after Stark Industries made its statement.

However, many people are also curious about the relationship between Tony Stark and Future Medicine, and why he is going to such lengths to help them.

This is not Tony's usual style!

"This time I really do owe Tony Stark another favor!"

Mark's expression was somewhat complicated after receiving the news.

He never expected that Stark Industries would step forward to support Future Pharma.

This way, at least on the surface, those capital groups will no longer dare to recklessly target the future of pharmaceuticals.

However, Mark had to be prepared for some underhanded tactics.
