“This is simply amazing. What’s going on? Did you take the pill too?” “It’s awesome that one pill can have such an effect. I can’t believe it.” “No matter what, let's give it a try. We can try other methods if this doesn’t work!” They stuffed the pill into the mouth of the old man lying on the bed. Everyone wanted to help him absorb the pill, but the pill simply melted in his mouth. It surged into his internal organs and spread to his limbs at a speed visible to the naked eye. “What’s going on?” Everyone was sick of saying this. They watched dumbfounded, at a loss for words. They had never seen such a powerful pill before. A few minutes later, they examined the old man and found that he had returned to normal. The bedridden old man slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised that he could wake up. “Wasn’t I in a coma? Why am I awake? Have I died but you guys died earlier than me? It’s good that we can meet in paradise again!” He wiped away his tears as he spoke. His form
Everyone respectfully called the old man Twine, who was a great contributor to Solstice City. Solstice City was so orderly because they established the rules. These old men were powerful and righteous, so they set various rules. Without them, the rules would not have been enforced, and the residents would not have been able to live and work in peace. Twine Barr examined himself and found something amazing. “This is wonderful. I've returned to normal. Even my old injuries are gone!” Although he was always a serious person, he was shouting in excitement now. After so many years, he regarded himself as a walking corpse and waited to die in bed. He never thought that he would return to normal one day, and he even felt well enough to fight again. “I've returned to my peak condition when I was young. I have nothing to fear even if I have to fight for three days and three nights! I think I can continue to practice too!” Twine smacked his thigh with pride and excitement.
“When I was bedridden back then, I vowed that I’d try to achieve the next level once I could continue practicing again. Now that I’ve recovered and restored my ability to practice again, I can't miss such a good opportunity!” Thinking of this, Twine turned to Monty. “Where did you get that pill from? Who's the talented genius who made the pill?” Twine was in a frenzy and could not wait to meet this amazing genius. “Someone with that ability must be about the same age as us. We can have a good chat over some good food and wine.” Twine asked his maids to make preparations. He was not short of good food and wine. Monty sighed helplessly. Twine was very impatient and did not give him the chance to say anything at all. “Don’t be hasty. Let me tell you about the situation first.” Monty told the group about Philip, which surprised them. His age alone was baffling enough. It was shocking to hear that he was a young man in his 20s. Everyone thought Monty was joking, including Tw
“What's going on? What time is it? Why is the store closed so early? This unprofessionalism is outrageous!” “That's right. Old men like us came all the way to buy some pills to try, but they're closed for the day. Are they serious about doing business?” They had weathered a fair bit of storm, so everyone treated them with respect. They had come in person but were greeted with closed doors, so they were not happy about it. More importantly, they thought they had finally found a cure for their old ailments. However, since they could not buy a pill, that was not going to happen. Philip and the others heard the commotion and felt exasperated by their impatience. Philip told Lyle to handle them. He was the youngest and usually spoke with tact, so he should handle this group of old men quite well. Lyle nodded and walked out with disdain. “Gentlemen, please stop knocking on the door. We're closed for the day!” Lyle said helplessly. Aslan did not have a good impression of these o
No one believed that Philip was the owner of this store, so they simply treated him as an ignorant fool. “You'd better open the door for us or you’ll face some consequences you cannot afford to pay,” the well-dressed old man said with disdain. “Didn’t you hear what my employee said? We can’t accommodate so many people at once. Besides, you didn’t ask us to prepare any pills for you. Where am I supposed to find so many pills at such short notice?” Philip said in a huff. “Besides, we've mentioned that we’ll be open for business one hour each day. You can buy it tomorrow.” Philip closed the door after saying that, making his stance clear. Everyone was agitated at Philip’s arrogance. At this moment, Monty appeared next to Philip. “I’m sorry. These people are used to getting their way by force, so they look pretty imposing. I already told them not to bother you, but they still turned up. Don't worry, I’ll advise them to return during your business hours.” Monty awkwardly tri
The group of old men had been rejected again. They were annoyed but could only try their luck again tomorrow. “I refuse to believe that I can’t even buy a pill. Find out what’s up with this store. We’ll line up when the store opens for business tomorrow!” “That's right, I don't believe he won't sell the pills when money is at stake. We need to buy all the pills in this store!” Everyone was furious. Well-respected people like them had never suffered such disrespect before. “That young man isn’t in the wrong. They're simply not open for business during non-working hours. We don’t have to get angry.” Many reasonable people were more amiable and not so radical. The more aggressive people calmed down and nodded awkwardly. The other party had a point. “You’re right. Let’s forget it and stop kicking up a fuss. We can see for ourselves when we enter the store tomorrow.” Everyone comforted themselves, and the matter quickly came to an end. The next day, Philip and the others ope
This bunch of old men reacted differently. Some were respectful and polite while others were blunt and not very reasonable. Lyle was exasperated by them. “Anyway, I’ve said everything I can say. If you want to buy the pills, hurry up. If not, you don’t have to stay here anymore. It has been half an hour now. We’ll be closing soon.” Lyle felt annoyed by their constant chattering. It was aggravating to see them being so suspicious of the pills they clearly wanted to buy. Some amiable people bought some pills, and Lyle served them with a smile on his face. Very soon, one hour was up, and Lyle closed the door sternly. Those people with a bad attitude and who doubted Lyle had no choice but to return empty-handed. These old men had never suffered such humiliation. They were angry, but their good upbringing prevented them from losing their temper. “That kid is really arrogant. It’s just a lousy pill. Let’s see if it’s really that effective!” They were still unwilling to believe
Everyone quickly stuffed the pills into their mouths as if afraid that someone would steal the pills from them if they were too slow. They returned to normal after taking the pills. They laughed contentedly and decided to celebrate over good food and wine. They usually abstained from greasy food and liquor. These old men had not touched wine for many years. As commanders and strategists leading the battlefield, it was hard for them to stay away from wine. “Let’s go to that newly opened restaurant for a drink!” “I heard that they serve very good food and wine there. Let’s have a good time!” Although they had no chance to eat and drink, they had always been paying attention to such stores. After deciding, they marched to the restaurant while the remaining few old men were sullen. They did not expect that the pills would be effective, but the store was already closed for the day. Moreover, their crude and doubtful words just now might have offended others. Thus, they felt very b
