Thor kept staring at the Chinese mixed-blood man named Alfred until he saw the other use his body to block the observation window on the door. Only then did he nod in satisfaction, then took out his own phone, and at the same time removed the battery from David Carter's phone as well... During this period, the weak and powerless David Carter was lost in thought, immersed in the shock of the bad news, not noticing the other's strange actions.

Thor placed the two phones with their batteries removed on the nightstand, carefully adjusting their positions so that the phones were perfectly parallel to the edge of the nightstand. After finishing all this, he finally spoke slowly: "With your physical condition, if you were in the hands of an ordinary doctor, he would say you have total cancerization—all parts of your body have turned cancerous."

This sentence gave David Carter a glimmer of hope, and he asked expectantly, "That's what an ordinary doctor would say, so, what's your diagnosis?"

Thor continued to answer unhurriedly, "However, if such symptoms were in the hands of a brilliant physician, he might say this isn't cancerization in the usual sense, because all the tissue cells in your body are different from ordinary people. Also, aside from occasionally showing some discomfort, there hasn't been any rejection reaction from your tissue cells... So we can only say: your physical condition can't be measured by common standards... But even if we don't use common standards, in medicine, this situation is still called 'cancerization.'"

David Carter's thoughts were in turmoil, thinking back and forth, especially when he thought of the pain his mother would have to endure. He let out a long, dejected sigh: "Can I still... Is there any hope for me with this illness?"

After a while, David Carter's emotions calmed down, his expression became relaxed, filled with a kind of open-mindedness that comes from seeing through the ways of the world. Once his thoughts were completely settled, David Carter, as if grabbing at a lifeline, suddenly noticed a loophole in the other's words and immediately probed, "You said you have a laboratory? Is it owned by your company? Haha, do they need someone to test new drugs?"

Thor stared intently at David Carter, and after two or three minutes, he smiled: "Actually, I'm a 'pipeline cleaner.'"

David Carter was a bit disappointed and unwillingly continued to ask, "The profession you work in... oh, that's pretty strange. I remember you own Soren Capital? Now you say you're a pipeline cleaner... huh?"

Thor smiled proudly: "The so-called 'pipeline cleaner' is a specific term... I don't really know how to translate it precisely into Chinese. You know, people always encounter some difficulties, and where there are problems, it means things aren't running smoothly. That's when professionals like us are needed to help clear things up—and my name is Thor."

The Chinese man at the door suddenly spoke. His accent was awkward, as if he rarely used Chinese before, making his speech a bit odd: "Thor means 'tower.' In Western culture, the word 'tower' has the meaning of an organizer—in Chinese terms, it means: he is our boss, the head of the whole company."

So fate is what it is. Turns out, standing in front of me is a big shot, a billionaire...

"So Soren Capital is actually in the pipeline cleaning business... I think I get it now. So, what exactly does a pipeline cleaner do?"

Thor grinned: "'Soren Capital' is just a company I registered temporarily in the Solomon Islands for twenty-five dollars in three minutes. It has nothing to do with my original profession."

Poor Miss Jenkins, she's really in trouble now.

Thor continued, "Soren Capital rented that office and paid a year's rent. It just so happened that Miss Jenkins was discussing her ideas with me... It doesn't matter, since the rent is already paid, I can give her some money and let her run things for a while. As long as she can earn back the rent, I don't care. Of course, if she doesn't succeed, then all the losses are just a 'necessary expense.'

I signed a one-year contract with Miss Jenkins, and I made my requirements clear to her: if she can't achieve the profit I set, then after a year, Soren Capital will announce the closure of its China office."

Miss Jenkins has already signed the contract and successfully changed jobs. This, in a way, shows that Thor offered a very high salary.

A faint sense of hope rose in David Carter's heart. He looked at Thor eagerly and sincerely, waiting for him to continue—at this moment, Alfred at the door suddenly interjected, "Your situation is very difficult."

Thor nodded in agreement: "In a place where even treating a minor cold costs hundreds or even thousands of yuan, you really can't afford to be sick. To be honest, you were in a coma for three days this time, and even I thought the hospital fees were unaffordable. You were only hospitalized for three days, yet the daily expenses were over two thousand US dollars... This medical record says that on the first day you received oxygen more than forty times, each time for half an hour, and also had a blood transfusion... My god, I don't remember you ever having a transfusion, and I still remember there are only twenty-four hours in a day.

Of course, days like this are just the beginning for you. In the future, you'll face even more expenses and pain..."

Even though David Carter was already clear about his situation, the sudden appearance of these expenses still made him panic. He felt as if a crack had suddenly opened up beneath his feet, and at the bottom of the crack was an endless abyss. Instinctively, he wanted to escape: "Oh my god, th-this... Please, help me with the discharge procedures, right away. Our boss..."
