Donald felt a tightness in his chest the moment Charlie spoke.
He was well aware that Charlie wouldn’t easily relent. Despite offering an astonishing one billion dors, Donald had hoped that Charlie would overlook past disagreements for the sake of the money.
To his surprise, Charlie seemedpletely unfazed by the exorbitant offer. Instead, he was still preupied with their previous conflicts.
If this were a typical business negotiation, Donald would have walked away the instant he encountered such a stubborn adversary, regardless of the lucrative opportunity at stake.
Yet, leaving was not an option for Donald at this moment.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
This was primarily because he couldn’t shake off the allure of the Rejuvenating Pill. It felt as if he was entirely entranced by the pill’s promise and its potential effects consumed his thoughts.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Donald knelt before Charlie, sping his hands together. He addressed him with utmost reverence, saying, “Master Wade, I was ignorant of my actions. Everyone in Aurous Hill regards you as a true dragon among men. Please, do not hold a grudge against someone as ordinary as myself!”
Donald was quite the orator.
To prevent Charlie from belittling him further, he strategicallyvished praise on him, making it challenging for Charlie to continue his insults.
However, Charlie was not angered by Donald and his son’s previousments. Instead, he was furious about their audacity in vandalizing Anthony’s Serene World Clinic.
Charlie feltpelled to avenge Anthony; he couldn’t rest until he did.
Looking at Donald, Charlie smiled and remarked, “A billion dors is indeed a generous offer, Mr. Webb. Yet, it seems your manners are somewhatckingpared to your son’s.”
Donald was momentarily taken aback, realizing that Charlie wasmenting on hisck of respect.
At this point, he felt no shame in bowing before Charlie. After all, the Rejuvenating Pill was at stake!
With this in mind, Donald quickly prostrated himself before Charlie.
After rising, he said earnestly, “Master Wade, I implore you! If you will sell me a Rejuvenating Pill, I will transfer one billion dors to your ount instantly!”
Charlie regarded him with a yful smile and replied, “The Rejuvenating Pill is indeed a simple matter. You’re correct; I do have another one with me, which I initially intended to keep. However, given your generous offer, I am willing to seriously consider selling it to you…”
As he spoke, Charlie reached into his pocket and pulled out a wooden box, much like the one he had given to Lord Moore earlier. Upon opening it, he revealed another Rejuvenating Pill nestled inside.
After taking out the pill, Charlie stood and addressed everyone present, “The Rejuvenating Pill is truly a priceless treasure. I had kept this information from you earlier, and I hope for your understanding. The truth is, I do possess another Rejuvenating Pill which I had no intention of selling. However, since Mr. Webb has been so sincere and offers such a high price, I will take his proposal into serious consideration.”
Even though the others were eager for the Rejuvenating Pill, they knew they had no real chance.
How many of them could actually afford to offer one billion dors in cash for the pill?
Probably no more than five people at the birthday banquet could manage that.
Moreover, who would dare to challenge the Webb family in this situation?
Both Donald and his son had already knelt and bowed before Charlie for this medicine. If anyone tried to snatch it away now, they would surely incur the Webb family’s wrath.<fn572d> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on ?ovelFind</fn572d>
Donald gazed at the Rejuvenating Pill, captivated by its fresh medicinal aroma. With excitement, he stated, “Master Wade, if you’re willing to sell this pill to me, I will immediately transfer one billion dors to your ount!”
Charlie smiled slightly and replied, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. Before we discuss the Rejuvenating Pill, there’s another matter we need to address.”
“Another matter?” Donald asked, furrowing his brow. “What do you mean?”
Charlie’s expression turned serious as he replied coldly, “Anthony and I share a close friendship. How do you n to rectify things with me now that you and your son have destroyed Anthony’s Serene World Clinic?”
Lord Moore, overhearing Charlie, furrowed his brow and spoke with a frown, “Donald! The talented Dr. Simmons is a renowned physician in Aurous Hill, having saved countless lives! He’s also a dear friend of mine! Why would you vandalize his clinic?”
Donald was taken aback by both Charlie’s and Lord Moore’s revtions.
He hadn’t realized that Anthony and Charlie shared such a strong bond!
