Apocalypse Queen: My Space, My Rules Chapter 115: A Painful Exchange

Kieran was stunned.

In front of Mariella's calm attitude, he suddenly felt like he was the overly sensitive one.

Screw it. The world was getting more chaotic and business was getting harder.

If someone handed him a chance to make easy money, he might as well take it.

"What are your terms? I'll personally go talk to the Grahams."

The Grahams was offering a high price to buy tetanus and rabies vaccines.

However, vaccines were very scarce now. The powerful people who actually had them weren't short on money. They cared more about their own lives.

They had to keep enough life-saving medicine for themselves just in case.

Time kept passing, but nothing changed. Viola grew more and more anxious and doubled the offer.

Kieran contacted the Grahams' butler and said he could help them get the medicine and vaccines, but the price would be very high.

The butler was already panicking. Hearing this, he was overjoyed. "As long as we can save Mr. Graham, Mrs. Viola is willing to pay any price."

Each bottle of antibiotic spray and pain relief cream in exchange for a kilogram of gold. A box of pain relief patches in exchange for half a kilo of gold. Two bottles of antiseptic solution or rubbing alcohol for another half a kilo of gold. One dose of tetanus vaccine costs 80 kilograms of gold. One dose of rabies vaccine costs 120 kilograms of gold, or equal value in jewelry, antiques, paintings, mahogany, sandalwood, or rosewood furniture."

"Let me make one thing clear. I'm doing this purely to help. I'm not taking any extra fees. If you think it's too expensive, then don't trade."

The butler was shocked. He said, "I have to talk to Mrs. Viola..."

Viola cried out like she was being cut open, "How can it be this expensive? This is robbery!"

But Harvey was her only grandson left. If he died, the Grahams line would end. If she lost him, who would she rely on in her old age?

Even though it hurt, she had no choice but to urgently sell off family assets to exchange for gold.

When she couldn't come up with enough gold, she had no choice but to bring out her jewelry, the antiques and decorative pieces from around the house, and even her collection of paintings.

Kieran invited an antique appraiser to verify the value of the items and convert them into gold value.

By around eight in the evening, they finally managed to gather enough.

To afford more medical supplies, Viola went so far as to part with her family heirlooms—including a jeweled ceremonial scepter and her mahogany furniture.

Kieran had someone bring out a small medicine refrigerator with a backup battery and handed it to the Grahams.

Their butler opened it, saw two vaccine doses and some medicine inside, and quickly rushed it back to Graham Residence.

The surgeon's consultation fee was one kilogram of gold. He agreed to stay at Graham Residence for 24 hours to ensure Mr. Graham's safety.

After checking that the medicine and vaccines were fine, the doctor gave Harvey both injections.

Harvey was fed a pill of antibiotic. At the same time, a caretaker sprayed antiseptics on his wounds and applied pain relief cream.

The doctor then added, "The other injured people also need treatment. You'll need to buy more medicine for injuries. There are six of them. This isn't enough."

Viola felt like her flesh was being cut away. Her heart ached as she gasped for breath.

"These medicines are too expensive! We can't afford more! They're young, their bodies will recover. Just let them rest and they'll heal."

To get those two vaccines and the medical supplies for Harvey, she didn't just liquidate part of the family estate, she emptied nearly everything. Every antique, collectible, piece of fine art, jewelry, and precious gemstone item was brought out.

Even her most treasured heirlooms—a jeweled ceremonial scepter and an antique mahogany table—were put up as well.

Viola felt a burning pain in her heart. She was not willing to spend any more money on medicine for the bodyguards and the female assistant.

It was too expensive! It was just too expensive!

Jennifer, who was already wrapped up like a mummy was speechless.

So, she got beaten up because of Harvey, but his family wouldn't even buy her a bottle of medicine?

Terrence brought people to deliver the exchanged supplies to No. 98 and returned the battery-powered medical fridge.

Mariella thanked him and set aside one-third of the supplies. "Give these to Mr. Hancock... "

"Mr. Hancock said he won't take a commission. He wants you to owe him a favor instead. He'll come to you when he wants to collect it," Terrence told her.

Mariella was speechless.

Since that was the case, she wouldn't be polite.

After sending Terrence away, she closed the door and stored everything into her space.

With the expert Kieran hired checking things for her, she believed these items were the real deal.

Sure enough, not long after storing them, everything was absorbed.

The virtual display showed the static space had expanded by about 14,500 cubic feet, bringing the total to around 148,000 cubic feet. The five-story villa had grown by about 700 square feet, reaching a total of roughly 7,150 square feet. The garden increased by about 300 square feet, for a total of around 2,180 square feet.
