However, he stopped at the very last moment when he recalled his father's words.Leon saved Iris and Elder Young in the past and Gilbert could not repay the debt by killing Leon."Leon, I'll give you one week to consider. Whether it's money or anything else that you want, just name your price, but you must leave or I'll show no mercy!" Gilbert snorted, before leaving without giving Leon the chance to respond.Though he could not deal with Leon directly, the Young Family's influence was vast and there were plenty of other ways to remove Leon from Iris's side.'He's a smart kid,' Gilbert thought, 'he'll know what he needs to do eventually!'Leon was drenched in sweat as he watched Gilbert disappear into the distance, terrified that Gilbert would attack. Should Gilbert lose control, Leon would be severely injured even if he managed to survive.Fortunately, Gilbert decided against acting on his anger.Leon returned to the hall and Iris hurried over. "Leon, are you okay? What did my
The calculation excluded potential loss of the ingredient during the manufacturing process and the time and effort required for Leon to produce the pills.The Cynthion Group did not set the prices higher as a gesture of showing their sincerity."Also, these pills are the first products that we are going to launch and the second batch will need time to be produced. There's a limited supply of the Energy Nurturing Pills of roughly over ten thousand pills in total. Please make your purchase as soon as possible while the stock lasts!" Cynthia added."Who knows if the pills work?""That's right. You are just saying that it works and we don't know if that's the truth at all!"Chaos erupted among the crowd after Cynthia introduced the products.Though the prices set for the Energy Nurturing Pills were affordable, most of the guests struggled to believe the advertised effect of the pills and as some of the most powerful people in Springfield City, they refused to make a fool of themselve
If there were only two hundred pills, each person would only be given a portion of eight to ten pills."How about this, Miss Shear, seeing how we know each other, why don't you make an exception for me and sell me a thousand? Is that okay?" Fane said, before shooting a glance at Leon, hoping that his friendship with Leon would offer him more access.He crossed Anson and Jacob at Xander's house to help Leon. Cynthia knew that Leon and Fane were friends and instinctively glanced at Leon to seek his approval. After all, Leon was the chairman of Cynthion Group and he had the final right to make a decision.Leon nodded slightly and Cynthia immediately smiled. "Mister Poole, thank you for taking such an interest in Cynthion Group. I'll take you up on your offer, then!""That's great!" Overjoyed, Fane looked at Leon gratefully. He thought that Cynthia made an exception out of respect for Leon, not knowing that Leon agreed to it.Fane made the payment for a thousand Energy Nurturing Pills
"We're fine with it!"The crowd cheered. Everyone knew that the Fields Family and the Shear Family were competitors, so Theodore could not be working with the Shears in secret; Hence, Theodore's men would be the most reliable source in testing the effect of the Energy Nurturing Pills."Theodore, why are you here? You are not welcome here!" Harvey's expression darkened as he eyed Theodore resentfully, itching to retaliate for the attack Theodore initiated toward Cynthia."I don't care if you welcome me! What's important is whether you dare to let my men try the pills!" Theodore questioned."Why wouldn't we? However, others have to be selected as well to prevent you from playing tricks!" Harvey said coldly."Fine. I'm okay with that." Theodore shrugged.He knew with certainty that the Energy Nurturing Pills would not be effective and it did not matter how tried the pills. Once it became clear that the pills were not as effective as they claimed, Theodore would only need to say a fe
Both Theodore and Jacob were shocked by the sight and instantly jumped to a conclusion."Harvey Shear, look at what you've done! Not only does the pill not work, but it's also causing my man to lose control over his power. You're going to have to answer me today!" Theodore roared."That's not possible! The Energy Nurturing Pills we produce work perfectly fine and should not cause anyone to lose control over their power! Something's wrong!"Both Harvey and Cynthia were stunned and confused by the situation. Harvey started to suspect that Gordon was putting on an act to support Theodore's claim."Harvey, the truth's staring us all in the face! What else do you have to say for yourselves?""That's right!""We're all seeing this. Your pills have issues and can cause martial artists to lose control over their powers!""Those aren't pills. They're poison! Are you trying to kill us all?!"...Jacob and Anson leaped into the conversation and accused Shears of scamming all the families
However, it was a member of the Fields Family who tested the pill, and given the two families' history, Gordon could not have been bribed by the Shears."Everyone, calm down. Let the two of us try the pill as well."The other two men sobered and swallowed the pills in their hands without hesitation.The pills melted in their mouth and transformed into a pure force of energy that replenished their bodies.Both men were martial artists who rivaled Gordon in power, so they immediately sensed the pills functioned as advertised.Since Gordon was on the edge of a breakthrough, he managed to reach the next power level by luck; while the other two were not blessed with such opportunities. However, it was enough to prove that the Energy Nurturing Pills were effective."How do you two feel?" The others turned their attention to the other two men who took the pills."Yeah, we can say for sure that the Energy Nurturing Pills work to aid martial artists' training.""I'm sure that it'd be be
"Two hundred, then!" Gilbert said with a scowl.There were over thirty skilled martial artists in powerful families such as the Youngs and two hundred pills would be consumed within a blink of an eye. However, since it was the rule set by Cynthion Group, Gilbert could only obey."I want two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, too!""Me, too."As Gilbert claimed two hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, the others swarmed toward the stage.There were only approximately three thousand first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills and since Fane and Gilbert took a thousand and two hundred of them, there were not many left for the rest.Fane was right that anyone who hesitated would lose their chances of purchasing at all."Wait! Starting from now, every customer may only purchase a hundred first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills and a hundred second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, which adds up to a total of two hundred pills per customer."Knowing that the first-grade Energy Nurturin
"Mister Collins, Mister Lowe, so long as you're willing to make a purchase, Cynthion Group will allow it," Harvey said with a smile."Good." Both Jacob and Anson relaxed.Within a blink of an eye, the first and second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills were soon emptied from the shelves and since there was a limited supply, most people only ended up with the second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills and for some of the people who were standing toward the end of the line, they failed to purchase anything.Jacob was not able to make any purchases for the first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills and only managed to obtain two hundred second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, which was still considered fortunate compared to many others who remained empty-handed.Fane came close to bursting into laughter at the sight of the crowd fighting over the pills. As the others fought over the first-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, he purchased one thousand pills. He credited his success to Leon as he was the one who info
