"Who's ruining the mood at a time like this?"

"Don't stop me, darling. I'm definitely going to kill him!"

Hearing the knock at the door, Wade froze for a moment before his face darkened in irritation.

"Come on, Wade. We rarely get visitors."

Vanessa smiled at Wade, got up from the couch, and opened the door.

A tall Asian woman dressed head to toe in designer brands appeared before Vanessa.

Judging by the woman's clothing and bearing, she was clearly from high society.

She was in a completely different social class from people like Vanessa and Wade.

"Dr. Zhao?"

Vanessa was slightly surprised, and her brows could not help furrowing. "I'm sorry, but I thought we'd already made ourselves very clear. We won't agree to it!"

"Ms. Vanessa, please forgive me for disturbing you again, but I think I may not have explained things clearly last time, which caused you and Mr. Wade to misunderstand."

"So, could you give me a little more time? I can promise you that if you truly understand what the Regeneration Cradle is, you definitely won't refuse. This is Mr. Wade's only chance!"

"Of course, if you still refuse, I promise I'll never appear before you again."

Zhao Hailun spoke to Vanessa with utmost sincerity.

The Regeneration Cradle's various technologies had already matured and been refined. Clinical trials on certain animals had gone smoothly, and it had now entered the stage of human clinical trials.

To Zhao Hailun, the disfigured Wade was an extremely representative clinical case.

Ever since she had encountered Deadpool by chance three months ago, Zhao Hailun had entertained this idea. But Deadpool had mercilessly rejected her at the time.

Deadpool had no interest in becoming someone else's lab rat.

But Deadpool had not expected this woman to be so persistent that she would show up again.

"Dr. Zhao, I'm terribly sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing again. Do you know why?"

As Deadpool said this, he suddenly darted to the door and faced Zhao Hailun. "Because I'm just too handsome now!"

Ignoring Deadpool's unbearably smug voice, Zhao Hailun's attention was immediately drawn to the smooth, jade-like face before her.

Her eyes widened at once.

It was as though she had seen something unbelievable.

"Mr. Wade?"

Just like Vanessa, Zhao Hailun's first reaction was that she had mistaken him for someone else. The man in front of her could not possibly be Wade!

"Darling, look at her. She's exactly like you were just now. I love seeing people get so shocked by me that they're left speechless."

Deadpool wrapped an arm around Vanessa and chuckled nonstop.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wade. I lost my composure just now."

Zhao Hailun gradually calmed down. She knew that the person before her really was Wade.

Even though Wade's face had once been so pitted and distorted that he barely looked human, she could still tell from the contours of his face that it was the same face as now.

Combined with that incredibly punchable personality, there was no mistake.

This person was Wade.

She just had no idea why his face had been healed.

"Understandable. Even the woman who sleeps beside me every day reacted that way, so it goes without saying for you."

Deadpool waved dismissively to show he understood, then began driving her away. "So, you can get lost now!"

"Wait, Mr. Wade, please wait!"

Zhao Hailun hurriedly blocked the door, her face filled with excitement and urgency. "Do you know that what happened to you can be called a miracle? It's something modern medicine is incapable of achieving!"

"I know this may be presumptuous, but could you tell me where you had your face restored to normal?"

Other than the Regeneration Cradle, Zhao Hailun could not imagine that a second technology like it existed in the world.

"I almost forgot. The manager told me to introduce customers to him."

Deadpool suddenly looked as though he had remembered something. He muttered to himself, then looked at Zhao Hailun and asked, "Dr. Zhao, have you heard of Devil Fruits?"

Devil Fruits?

Zhao Hailun was utterly confused.

What the hell was that?

"Manager!"

The next day.

There were no customers in the shop at the moment, and Rosha had nothing better to do, so he took out his phone and played a couple of matches of Honor of Kings.

However, many hero models had changed in the international server, and even the skills were quite different from the Chinese server. It felt incredibly awkward to play.

Then, a message from Deadpool popped up in the group chat.

Since the game was not particularly fun anyway, Rosha quit directly and replied, "What is it, Wade?"

"Manager, I introduced you to a very reliable customer!"

"I'm telling you, she's a girl, and she's very pretty too. Long arms, long legs, and she seems to be Korean. She should be right up your alley."

"Her voice is soft and really nice to listen to, and she's rich! It seems like she even knows Tony Stark. She's an incredibly impressive scientist, Manager, so you'd better seize the opportunity..."

Rosha looked helplessly at the nonstop stream of messages appearing in the group chat.

Was this guy introducing a customer to him, or setting him up on a date?

Still, Rosha was genuinely curious about the person Deadpool had mentioned.

If Deadpool had not exaggerated, then this girl really was an extraordinarily capable person.

Nothing else needed to be considered. Simply knowing Tony Stark was enough to say a lot.

"So, Wade, exactly what kind of big shot did you introduce me to?" Rosha asked curiously.

"Her name is Zhao Hailun! Anyway, I wasn't lying to you. She's loaded. Spending eight hundred thousand or a million on a piece of fruit would be like drinking water to her."

"I told her about Devil Fruits yesterday, and she showed a lot of interest!"

"Manager, if this deal goes through, you'll owe me one! You have to give me a discount when I buy Devil Fruits in the future!"

Zhao Hailun?

Rosha immediately realized who she was. Deadpool had not been bragging at all. This girl really was loaded.

He immediately began looking forward to it.

But how exactly had a guy like Deadpool gotten to know someone like Zhao Hailun?

Their social circles were rather far apart.

Rosha curiously began asking Deadpool about it.

Deadpool roughly told Rosha about the "fateful connection" between the two of them.

"Devil Fruits? This should be the place, right?"

While Rosha chatted idly with Deadpool in the group, a voice rang out.

At the same time, a woman with a graceful figure and exquisite features entered Rosha's sight.

Zhao Hailun!

Rosha recognized her at a glance. The woman before him was Zhao Hailun.

"Zhao Hailun is here. Talk later!"

Rosha quickly replied to Deadpool, then approached her with an enthusiastic smile.
