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
All the businessmen and high-born ladies came for the sake of alchemical pills such as the Beauty Pills and Life-Prolonging Pills and since the testing of the Energy Nurturing Pills helped to build a foundation of trust toward Cynthion Group's products, the crowd instantly started fighting over the remaining pills.The rest of the alchemical pills were not as costly as the Energy Nurturing Pills and were sold for a few hundred to a thousand for each pill. Since Leon worked ahead for mass production, the other pills would not face the same issue with a supply as the Energy Nurturing Pills. Even so, the launch of the remaining pills pushed the crowd toward the peak of excitement.At the back of the crowd, Gilbert remained standing and stared at the stage with a dark expression.The Four Major Families were always competitors, with every one of them trying to be on top and the Youngs were no exception.In recent times, the talk of the city has been the new cosmetic product line launch
Harvey and the others were still busy selling the alchemical pills on stage and there was no one else backstage."Cynthia, what do you need?" Leon asked,"You're the chairman of this company so I figured that I should let you know how much we've profited today. I did a rough calculation and we have made a sale of over 260 million and over 130 million of sheer profit." Cynthia beamed and said.Though the Shear Family held properties worth billions and a mere profit of a hundred million did not mean much, it was Cynthia's first attempt at running a business and she was overjoyed that her company with Leon made such an impressive profit on the very first day."What? Over 130 million of sheer profit? T- That much?!" Leon was both stunned. Like Cynthia, it was his first attempt at starting a business and its success guaranteed him a lifetime worth of fortune.Leon was over the moon.The total sum of assets owned by the Four Major Families added up to no more than a hundred billion and
