SWNOVELS Chapter 578: Master, This is a Gift for You
Tina opened the porcelain bottle and sniffed it close to her nose; it was not any ordinary medicine. Her eyes faintly lifted, locking onto Master Tam. "Yes, yes, yes, it's our family's secret recipe, known only to our family," Master Tam said excitedly. Tina looked at him twice. Given her master's nature, even if he wanted to ignore the Shaw family and let them fend for themselves, he wouldn't ignore the innocent workers. He would never knowingly have an antidote and watch them die.
Master Tam knew what Tina wanted to ask and took the initiative to explain, "I once gave the formula to someone from the Shaw family, specifically to Linden's grandfather, but they didn't take it seriously. Later, when I was being hunted and had to hide in Serenity Ridge, I didn't inquire further about the Shaw family, and it just faded away."
Back then, Master Tam, who was also known as Tam Solomon, had to flee after a family tragedy. During his flight, he learned that the Shaw family had acquired the mining rights. Knowing the dangers of the mine, he gave the antidote formula to Linden's grandfather. But this act exposed his whereabouts, leading to his pursuit by other hidden families.
Master Tam thought Linden's grandfather would take it seriously, but it turned out to be ineffective. Over the years, Master Tam kept evading the hidden families, and it was only after faking his death that he found out Linden's parents had already died due to the mining. By then, he learned the Shaw family had not taken the antidote seriously. It was too late; he couldn't find Linden or save the workers by traditional means.
Tina nodded, "So, the Shaw family brought destruction upon themselves. But, master, did you use your real name to collaborate with Shaw Industries Group to sell protective masks to save those miners?" Master Tam choked. How had this girl found that out? He had avoided all of Tina's connections! Wait! There was someone else. Master Tam's gaze gradually shifted to Jared, who was cutting a cake. Feeling the intense stares, Jared looked up and smiled back. Master Tam cursed Jared in his heart. He knew it-this damn kid!
The Farrell Group held a significant position in the business world, so it was not surprising they could dig up something as minor as the protective masks. Tina tapped the table, "Master, don't forget you still owe me eighty million dollars. Are you trying to default on your debt?" Looking at Tina's "sly" smiling face, Master Tam knew he could no longer hide. "Alright, alright, I'll pay you, okay? Just make sure you return my IOU of eighty million, and don't take over my company or try to swindle me of another eighty million!"
Tina extended her hand, "First, give me the controlling stake of the company." Master Tam ground his teeth and reluctantly took out his phone to make a call. Ten minutes later, Tina's phone showed that she now owned another pharmaceutical company. "Now, can you give me the IOU?" Master Tam sat back down and asked.
However, Tina across from him just smiled silently, and even Jared, who had finished cutting the cake, looked on calmly. Master Tam blinked, then realizing something, he threw a punch at each of them, actually hitting two robots in front of him. Both robots opened their mouths and, like a previous bionic robot, spat out two vertical scrolls.
"Master, this is a gift for you."
"As for the IOU, I'll give it back to you when I gather eighty million dollars!"
Master Tam took several deep breaths, thought for a moment, and then burst out laughing. "This cheeky girl, coming up with more and more cunning ideas." He sat down, dipped his finger into the cream on the cake, and popped it into his mouth. "Bah! Why is it so spicy?!"
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't the cake he had picked up at all, but a fake cake!
"Tina! You wait for me! You cheeky girl!"
Fuming, Master Tam carried two humanoid robots back home and threw them in front of Warren Pace.
"Just look at this!"
Warren Pace was reading a book and couldn't help but smile upon seeing the two robots.
"The girl has some skills," he said, clearly pleased with the robots.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he threw one out, Tina had brought back two, truly surpassing the master.
Master Tam sighed. "What now? Is it just me getting hurt in this world?"
"You could say that," Warren Pace chuckled, pinching "Tina's" cheek, but his expression suddenly changed. Master Tam was still lamenting about his company when he saw Warren Pace quickly covering his tracks. "What's wrong?" Master Tam asked, puzzled.
Warren Pace frowned. "You've been tricked by your apprentice. These two robots have trackers on them!" With that, Warren Pace hurriedly fled.
At that moment, Tina was sitting in a car, blissfully eating a strawberry cake.
Hmm, not as good as Uncle's, but still tasty.
Indeed, strawberry cake is the best food in the world.
Jared looked at Tina's smiling face and couldn't help but remark, "Money really does work wonders."
Indeed, she was a little money-monger.
While eating, Tina glanced at her watch. "They stopped for three minutes, and now they're moving again?"
Her watch was a miniature computer that looked like a regular watch but could switch to computer mode when needed.

The tracker on the bodyguard robot started moving, but not by much, just under a kilometer from where they had stopped.
Jared followed the tracker, but Tina shook her head. "No, that's the old man's smoke bomb!"
Tina sent the tracker's current location to Cole, and soon Cole called back. "Serena, I've been chasing this truck for three kilometers! I'm exhausted!"
As expected, the old man really thought they would follow the tracker.
"Alright, you're done," Tina hung up the phone and knocked on the door in front of her with Jared.
The door was opened by a robot, whose face hadn't been set up properly.
Upon seeing Tina, it sounded an alarm, "Alert, alert, cheeky girl incoming, cheeky girl incoming!"
Jared secretly chuckled, but seeing Tina's increasingly grim expression, he swallowed his laughter.
Tina broke the robot's head with her bare hands, and after the robot uttered a "Ya, I'm dead," it completely "stopped breathing."
Master Tam hurried over, seemingly surprised to see Tina. "My goodness, how did you find this place?"
"Don't play dumb with me, where's Warren Pace?" Tina demanded.
Master Tam shrugged. "How should I know? But if you're looking for him, I can set up a meeting."
