Charlie shed a smile, feigning ignorance as he pulled out a small wooden box from his pocket.
This wooden box had cost Charlie five dors at a street vendor. He thought it was better to use the box than to stash the pill directly in his pocket or wrap it in a napkin.
Sean’s disdain was palpable when he caught sight of the box. He sneered, “Seriously? What is that? Did you really buy that for ten dors?”
Charlie maintained his smile. “You’re close! I did buy it from the street, but it only set me back five dors.”
The crowd gasped at Charlie’sment!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Did he truly take Lord Moore seriously?<fn7dd4> Find the newest release on find?novel</fn7dd4>
How could he arrive at Lord Moore’s birthday celebration with just a five-dor wooden box?!
Even if something was inside, it was bound to be worthless junk, right?
There was no way he’d ce anything valuable in such a shabby container.
As a result, the crowd started booing Charlie.
Even Reuben covered his mouth, shaking his head in contempt.
Sean howled, indignation clear in his voice, “Charlie Wade, this is so disrespectful! How dare you present such junk to Grandpa Moore? You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”
Charlie chose to ignore him and opened the small wooden box, revealing a ck, round pill inside. He addressed Lord Moore, saying, “Mr. Moore, this is a birthday gift I prepared for you, the Rejuvenating Pill. I hope you enjoy it.”
He used the phrase ‘prepared for you’ to sidestep any potential trouble.
Lord Moore trembled with excitement at the sight of the pill! He stood up, a rush of energy surging through him.
As he rose, he shook uncontrobly, excitement coursing through his veins!
For what felt like forever, he had wished that Master Wade would bless him with a rare opportunity like the one given to Anthony, though he kept it secret, knowing how precious it was.
He never imagined that his ultimate dream would materialize, and on his birthday no less!
Master Wade had granted him his heart’s desire!
The guests watched intently as Lord Moore approached Charlie, his legs trembling.
Those unfamiliar with Charlie assumed Lord Moore was enraged by Charlie’s antics, having never faced such humiliation. They expected him to p Charlie and throw him out.
Sean took a quick look at the unassuming pill in the box, failing to see anything remarkable about it. He scoffed, “Charlie, are you seriously going to give Lord Moore a lousy pill for his 80th birthday? Isn’t that just some enhancement pill you picked up off the street? Are you sure it won’t kill anyone who takes it?!”
Charlie ignored the remarks and exined to Lord Moore, “Mr. Moore, this Rejuvenating Pill has the power to extend your life and enhance your physical health. After taking it, you could feel ten years younger, and your life expectancy could increase by at least a decade.”
Sean couldn’t help but chuckle, mockingly responding, “Ohe on, Charlie! Do you really think you can fool the wise Grandpa Moore with that nonsense? What kind of ridiculous enhancement pill can actually make someone ten years younger? Is this some kind of joke? You must think we’re all fools!”
The guests nodded in agreement, all convinced that Charlie’s ims were absurd and far-fetched.
A pill that could make someone ten years younger? Who was he trying to deceive?!
However, to everyone’s surprise, Lord Moore approached Charlie, trembling, and suddenly knelt down on the floor!
A chorus of gasps echoed through the banquet hall, leaving everyone stunned as if struck by lightning!
