“Young man, you have a good character,” Aidan praised. Amid everyone’s envious gazes, Delia presented the Smith Guild’s gift to Aidan. “The Smith Guild carefully crafted this emerald pendant, which can nourish your spiritual consciousness and speed up your practice if you wear it long-term.” Delia happily presented the gift. It was the best emerald pendant they had ever produced, and the guild leader was quite reluctant to give it away. At first, they planned to ask Delia to present a pill, but Delia thought about it and finally gifted the emerald pendant. The longevity pill sounded amazing, but its effects were limited. The pill was useless to Aidan, who could still live for a hundred years. Moreover, the person would just feel better after taking it without any other effect. This pill was definitely not as good as Leonard’s gift, so it was better to give the emerald pendant her father made. The butler accepted the gift amid everyone’s envy. The emerald pendant was a
Seeing this scene, no one dared to say a word. This young man was the most beloved grandson of the villa master and had an extraordinary status. Everyone thought that Aidan would look down on this gift, but his grandson was so concerned. Was the young man’s lifespan about to run out? By right, a practitioner in the fifth zone could live to beat least 90 years old and above. This young man seemed to be in his early 20s. Why was he so excited over this pill? Besides, the authenticity of this pill had not yet been determined. It was probably fake! Everyone wanted to see Philip make a fool out of himself. They could simply run a test to find out if the pill was real or fake. After a brief moment of surprise, Delia stood resolutely next to Philip. “He wouldn't use a fake pill to deceive you.” Delia trusted Philip a lot. Philip was surprised by Delia’s reaction and looked at her with gratitude. Delia's support gave him the right to speak. The young man was still stari
“This guy must be up to no good. Villa Master, don’t be fooled by him!” While everyone chattered incessantly, Royce and the butler remained silent. They knew that Aidan was taking a gamble. He had a few years to live anyway. If this pill was genuine, he would have ten more years of life, and the family would prosper for another hundred years. If the pill was fake, it would do him no harm. A dying person had no such concerns. The old man swallowed the pill without further ado, and everyone fell silent. Philip inwardly applauded the old man for his courage. Philip thought that the other party would not dare to take the pill. After all, he had a distinguished status, while Philip was a mysterious person with unknown origins. He did not expect the old man to take such a big gamble. Delia was surprised at Aidan’s decisiveness too. Everyone thought that Aidan was giving respect to the Smith Guild. Otherwise, Philip would have been driven out already. After taking the
Delia had no idea if the pill was effective. Anyway, everyone behaved very strangely. “Did your pill work?” Delia leaned close to Philip nervously and asked in a low voice. Philip teased her in a low voice, “No, that pill is poison.” Delia was horrified and looked at Philip in a panic. “How could you poison the villa master? He’s a good person!” Delia was speechless and flustered. Philip thought that she looked very cute. She was like a pure and innocent young girl, which made him want to protect her. The old man stopped whetting everyone’s curiosity and unveiled the mystery. “After my confirmation, the pill given by the young man is indeed effective. I can feel that my lifespan has increased by ten years.” The weight on the old man was finally lifted, and he looked much younger. This duration would be enough time for him to reach the next level. Before this, it was simply a dream to live for an additional two weeks. It was a blessing that this young man had
“So, I decided to replace the storage ring with this pill at the last minute. After all, increasing life span is the most important thing for the villa master,” Philip explained patiently, and Delia nodded with twinkling eyes. “You really surprised me.” After Delia mumbled under her breath, she stopped talking and focused on eating. Philip heard her and simply smiled without another word. The whispered conversation between Philip and Delia seemed so sweet that Howard and Leonard were grinding their teeth at the sight. Compared to a guy like Howard, who sought something unattainable, Leonard seemed more promising. However, Leonard was more cold and distant. Although he always acted like a gentleman with a fan in his hand, Delia had never liked his weird style. Delia preferred handsome guys with a sunny disposition, so Leonard’s feminine mannerisms did not meet her criteria. As Philip started eating, he could feel all the murderous stares aimed at him, but that did not st
They sat quietly and waited for Philip to continue without saying a word. “I wanted to make a request, but I didn't have an appropriate identity to enter Sun Moon Villa,” Philip said honestly, not afraid that the old man would have a bad impression of him. The old man wanted to live longer, while Philip had too many of those pills. Although a person could only take five pills in a lifetime, it was more than enough for the old man. If Aidan refused his request, Philip could make a transaction with him, but it would not be that easy to fulfill the transaction. It was not his style to not get the most out of something. Hearing that Philip had a request, Aidan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Philip wanted to please him for no reason. It would be most difficult to repay that favor. “I know that you've lost your memory and were seriously injured, so you only have two or three years left to live,” Philip said evenly. He discovered that when he first arrived at
Although Royce was young, he had heard a lot about the Clarke family. The extremely powerful and promising descendant of the Clarke family was Royce's idol. He dreamed of becoming someone like Philip and had always wanted to find an opportunity to visit Philip. However, Sun Moon Villa had closed its doors to the outside world back then, and he did not have the chance to go to Arcadia Island. Unexpectedly, he saw his idol right in front of his eyes today. “Are you Philip Clarke?” Royce trembled with excitement, at a loss for words. Aidan did not react much. Although he had lost his memory, he knew a bit about the Clarke family. After all, Royce kept talking about it, so it would be difficult for him to ignore it. “Young man, considering that you’re from the Clarke family, I still want to remind you that my injuries are not that easy to deal with.” He suffered these injuries a long time ago, which did not affect his memory or lifespan at first. Two years ago, however,
After that, the impurities could be expelled from Aidan's body by dredging his veins with energy. For some reason, Aidan trusted Philip. He drank the potion Philip prepared for him and felt comfortable at once. The effect of the potion was the same as when he took the pill earlier. Aidan became wary and had more speculations about Philip's abilities. He thought the pill was something Philip found by chance. Now that the potion Philip made offhand produced the same effect as the pill, it was intriguing. However, now was not the time to ask questions. He quietly accepted Philip's treatment and quickly felt relief all over. After the treatment, Aidan took a deep breath and was pleasantly surprised. He stood up and moved around. He was shocked to find that the energy he absorbed could now run smoothly in his body! “I feel as if a huge burden has been lifted off me. I’ve never felt so relaxed!” Aidan rubbed his hands in excitement. Royce stared at his grandfather in
