Next day, 9:00 AM sharp. Lisa stood outside the Registry Office.
Sunlight filtered through sparse tree leaves, casting dappled shadows on the pavement.
The early summer air carried a faint morning chill.
She checked her phone: 9:05.
Alexander hadn’t arrived.
Couples flowed through the entrance, faces hopeful or solemn.
Lisa stood alone, starkly contrasting the surrounding atmosphere.
9:30.
Still no sign of Alexander.
Lisa pulled out her phone, thumb sliding to dial the memorized number.
The line rang endlessly before connecting, background noise suggesting a car interior.
“I’m at the Registry Office. When will you be here?”
Her voice remained calm, betraying nothing.
Silence hung for several seconds.
“Urgent matter this morning. We’ll reschedule!”
Alexander’s voice came through the receiver, as calm and detached as ever.
No explanation, no apology–just a straightforward notice.
The call ended just like that.
Lisa stood frozen for a moment before muttering into the air, her voice barely audible:
“Bastard!”
She turned and strode away from the place that should’ve witnessed their promises.

Meanwhile, a golden Rolls–Royce glided smoothly along the highway to the international airport.
Alexander sat in the spacious backseat, his gaze fixed on the receding city skyline.
Today, he was picking up a guest of extraordinary significance.
Professor Walter Franklin.
His doctoral advisor during medical studies in Fruyca, and a titan in the medical field.
More crucially, Alexander had reason to believe this professor might know the whereabouts of the elu- sive N Pioneer.
Scattered intelligence suggested the N Pioneer was likely Walter’s protégé.
Securing the N Pioneer’s expertise could propel Ford Enterprises‘ AI medical project beyond current limitations into an unprecedented era.
The car arrived at the VIP tarmac.
Alexander adjusted his suit jacket and stepped out.
Soon, a private jet descended gracefully.
As the cabin door opened, a silver–haired but vigorous elder emerged, steadied by family members.
Dressed in tailored casual wear, he wore a warm smile.
His eyes immediately found Alexander waiting below.
“Alexander.”
Professor Franklin’s voice brimmed with reunion joy.
Alexander stepped forward, exchanging a formal embrace.
“Professor, welcome to Seattle.”
The motorcade headed straight for the Ford Corporate Headquarters Tower.
The top–floor AJ Medical Exhibition Hall pulsed with futuristic technology.
Precision instruments stood in silent display beside holographic screens projecting intricate human anatomy models.
Alexander personally guided the professor.

“Professor, this is Ford Enterprises‘ three–year endeavor–our AI Medical System.”
He demonstrated an interface console.

Through high–resolution biometric data collection and big–data analytics, the system provided prelimi- nary imaging analysis and diagnoses for over 300 common and rare diseases.
A simulated patient record instantly appeared alongside system–generated diagnostic reports and treat- ment plans.
“Cross–referencing 10,000 cases, our system achieves 93% diagnostic alignment with top–tier hospital specialists.”
Professor Franklin leaned closer, examining the screen with frequent nods.
“This drastically improves diagnostic efficiency, especially in underserved regions facing physician shortages.”
Alexander’s eyes gleamed with intelligence as he added:
“We’re currently miniaturizing the technology for home diagnostic kits, launching within two months.”
“To bring convenient and precise health monitoring with initial diagnostic services to every household.”
Professor Walter turned to Alexander, his eyes brimming with admiration.
“Alexander, you’ve done exceptionally well.”
“When you chose to return to your homeland to develop this, I thought it was a pity. But now I see your decision was right.”
“This technology is truly a monumental achievement that can transform healthcare. I’m immensely proud of you.”
Alexander gave a slight nod, accepting his mentor’s praise.
After the tour, the two men entered the spacious CEO office overlooking the city.
An assistant brought coffee.
Alexander lifted his cup, speaking as if casually.
“Professor, I’ve been closely following cutting–edge developments in cancer treatment lately. A single cancer patient can devastate an entire family.”
“Have you heard of the mysterious figure known as The N Pioneer?

They say her aromatherapy can precisely target cancer cells, helping patients reclaim their lives.”
Professor Franklin’s hand holding the coffee cup stilled almost imperceptibly.
He looked up at Alexander, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
“Oh?
The N Pioneer?”
Alexander continued very earnestly.
“If Ford Family’s smart medical system could deeply collaborate with top talents like The N Pioneer in oncology, it would undoubtedly open new frontiers.
We might even solve all cancer challenges worldwide. Ford Family has the financial strength to support such an endeavor.”
He watched Professor Franklin’s expression closely.
The professor set down his coffee cup, a knowing smile spreading across his face.
“The N Pioneer…Ah, I know her!”
The N Pioneer Is Your Junior, Add Her
His tone carried nostalgia, admiration, and an indescribable pride.
More importantly, that young lady was his junior fellow student–over fifty years his junior.
And their 106–year–old master RIVO personally mentored her for her talent.
No one could picture a 106–year–old man and a 20–year–old girl conducting experiments together, leav- ing him, the senior disciple, just fetching tea and water.
