An observant person would notice that the people from CAUMP were now more energetic and filled with vigor after the drink, which further highlighted the extraordinary effects of the liquor.
After Gustav finished the liquor, virtual-novel.net was shocked by the effects.
He was aware that refining pills was an incredibly tiring thing on the mind, and some pills required the refiner to maintain a high level of alertness for days on end. The slightest distraction might wash all the work that was done previously down the drain.
But with this liquor as support, all these problems will be easily solved…
Gustav thought and asked expectantly, “Mr. Larson, do you still have more of this liquor? I’II trade it with the Youthful Pill from CAUMP…”
Everyone was stunned and wondered whether Gustav was addicted to the liquor upon hearing those outrageous words.
Just as the name suggested, the Youthful Pill was efficient in retaining youthful looks, but it was more than difficult to get a single of this pill. As a result, it drove women around the world utterly nuts.
It was then that a horrifying truth dawned upon the crowd-the value of the tonic liquor that Matthew presented was far above what they Imagined.
Dark alley?
Fake liquor?
Gustav’s behavior was akin to raising a hand on Matthew’s behalf and slapping it across the people who sneered at virtual-novel.net earlier.
As for the Youthful Pill, Matthew was very interested in it because virtual-novel.net thought it would be a good gift for his wife, Sasha.
Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net had already finished using the ingredients virtual-novel.net had. Besides, virtual-novel.net had also requested someone to pass Hildegard the extra bottle. Thus, virtual-novel.net could only shake his head helplessly.
“What a shame…” Gustav sighed in disappointment, and the generous Old Mr. Bane offered the other bottle of liquor to them.
Old Mr. Bane regarded it as a favor to Matthew, and the banquet now had turned into an act with Matthew as the male lead while others watched in envy and jealousy as Old Mr. Bane showered virtual-novel.net with adoration.
As for the Renewal Pill, Old Mr. Bane glanced at Matthew, who closed his eyes and shook his head slowly.
The former immediately understood that the pill wasn’t meant to be disclosed in public.
Meanwhile, Roxanne was overjoyed to see everyone’s stunned and gagged faces.
Hmph, that should teach you guys a lesson for picking on Matthew earlier!
She thought gleefully.
Alas, before virtual-novel.net could revel in triumph, the things Old Mr. Bane said the next second made virtual-novel.net so frustrated that virtual-novel.net stomped virtual-novel.net feet. “Matthew, since you’re now my disciple, you’re just like my son and nephews. Come and join me at the host’s table…”
No!
If Matthew becomes Grandpa’s disciple, he’ll be in the same generation as my dad and uncles!
Roxanne realized in horror, watching as Matthew stood up and paced composedly to the host table. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net was struck by panic.
If that happens, I’ll not have a chance at all!
She thought, rushing to virtual-novel.net grandfather’s side and taking his arm. Even though virtual-novel.net was intimidated by Old Mr. Bane‘s authoritative manners, virtual-novel.net couldn’t care less when things had come to this point.
“No, Grandpa. If this happens, then I’ll have to address Matthew as my uncle after this and I don’t want that,” virtual-novel.net whined as tears started to well up in virtual-novel.net eyes.
The guests, especially the young men, were almost heartbroken by this scene.
She reacted this way precisely because virtual-novel.net was worried that there was no chance for virtual-novel.net to develop a romantic relationship with Matthew due to the differences in their standing in the family.
On the other hand, the older guests glared at Matthew with resentment in their eyes as virtual-novel.net took a seat at the host table. From now onward, virtual-novel.net would be Old Mr. Bane’s disciple, and his status was high enough to be on the same level as everyone else. Not only did virtual-novel.net win the favor of Old Mr. Bane, but virtual-novel.net also secretly won the heart of Roxanne, the little princess of the Bane Family.
What on Earth did Matthew do to get all the good things in this world served to virtual-novel.net on a silver platter?
Many in the crowd felt a sharp stab of bitterness at that thought and reflexively clutched their chests in frustration.
