Dean was put in a dilemma. He was ready to give away everything he had so that his son could live. His money, his company, and even his life, but this risk was to him, a price greater than all of the three combined.

'Also, let me add one more thing. If the treatment is successful, your son will be immune to every known disease and will live a life never worrying about his life.'

The man had put another thing of great value on the table to seal the deal.

'A treatment like that must cost fortunes, why are you doing it for free?'

'The treatment will be of cost in the future, but our company's owner is a compassionate man. That's why we are doing it for free now. Even in the future, it shall be kept at an affordable price.'

On one hand, if he refused the treatment, Alex will only live for about 10 more months. On the other, if he agreed to it and the procedure failed, it will instantly snatch his son away from him, of which there is a 40% chance.

If the treatment succeeds, of which there was a 60% chance, his son will be immune to every known disease.

It was a situation hard enough to make him sweat. Although Dean was used to taking risks in businesses, he didn't know what to do for the first time.

Dean admitted he neglected Alex more than he should have, but that was parenting him in his own way due to being raised similarly. He loved Alex like any father would.

Pampering will only damage the child. Leaving him open in the world will make him grow faster and stronger than most, those were his thoughts. For the same reason, he never even hired a maid or a servant to look after him.

He only came home to check up on his progress and was an observer from afar. He was working hard to expand his company, so when Alex was ready, he can take over him and live a peaceful life.

He had planned for Alex to start working with him when he turned 20. That was also the time he planned to get him diagnosed for cancer. He had dreamt of spending his life with his son when he had reached the peak of youth and was starting to enter adulthood. But with just one mishap, that dream began to crumble.

Dozens of thoughts raced through, and his head became noisy. What should he do? When an opportunity arrives, you must seize it with both hands. That's what he has been taught and observed all his life.

'Fine, but I have two conditions.'

Dean was obviously in no position to impose conditions, but the man decided to hear him out.

'Okay, what are they?'

'Firstly, I also want you to ask Alex about this, tell him about the treatment and the risk, and if he agrees, then perform it.'

Ignoring the fact that there was no need to put such a condition as it's like standard procedure everywhere, Dean said it to make himself feel like he was not completely helpless and had some ground as well.

'That will be no problem. What is your 2nd condition?'

'Secondly, I want you to perform the operation in nowhere else but Japan.'

'Fine, but then it will take a month to get things ready, and we shall not tell you our location due to classified reasons, but I assure you it will be performed in Japan.'

'Alright, I guess this much goes.'

'Now, as we have come to an agreement, I shall be going now. The paper work will be sent to you shortly. If there is anything else you want to ask, please send us an email on the address with which we sent you our first email. Good day, sir.'

'Wait, what's your company name?'

'Jira.'

And with that, the live chat ended.

Both of Dean's conditions were utterly arbitrary, but his mind had stopped working a while ago. On instinct, Dean searched the internet if he could find anything about this mysterious company.

After searching for a while, he couldn't find anything relevant.

Another email came. After reading it, Dean was a little worried about his decision.

Don't waste your time searching for us on the internet as you won't find anything. We are a company that doesn't exist, or you can say, a company the world has no idea that it exists. Good day, sir.

A company that the world doesn't know exists. Any way you look at it doesn't sound very relaxing.
