Chapter 1168 Exposing The Truth
The corners of Alex’s lips curved into an icy grin when he took the pill from the young priest. It wasexactly how he expected. Something as precious as snapdragon was simply priceless. After all, he hadonly obtained a single plant at the Ancient Medicine Exposition.
Alex could instantly identify the ingredients of the black pill in his hand with one glance. It was merely atmixture of flour, honey, and some food coloringnovelbin
So this thing, which looks about the size of a thumbnail, is being sold for five thousand a piece, eventhough its total production cost probably isn’t even worth more than a dozen?
As a fellow martial artist, Alex felt ashamed to see Lincoln deceive others under the pretext of being animmortal deity.
“Is this the so-called miraculous elixir you mentioned?” Alex’s sharp gaze was fixed directly on Lincoln.
Lincoln felt the imposing aura emanating from Alex. It was an overwhelming pressure that wasundoubtedly superior to his own cultivation level.
Could this young man before me have already reached the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age?
Hence, Lincoln telepathically said to Alex. “Young man, I know you are capable. Since we’re bothcultivators, I hope you can show some mercy. I will offer you twenty percent of the money from thisdeal. What do you think?”
Twenty percent was just a few hundred thousand-nothing but a trivial amount in Alex’s eyes. Hecouldn’t help Lincoln cover up this matter and commit a crime just for that small amount of money.
With a swift leap, Alex landed on the stage not far from Lincoln. Holding up the pill, he addressed thecrowd below, “This so-called miracle elixir is nothing more than flour, honey, and food coloring. It has
absolutely no effect on this flu outbreak. From the start, this was all a fraud planned by Lincoln todeceive your money.”
Lincoln never expected that Alex would not leave him even a shred of dignity. Moreover, the latterchose. such a way to pull the rug from under Lincoln’s feet.
Even in that situation, there was nothing Lincoln could do to Alex. After all, his power was no match forAlex, and going up against him would only result in a beating.
All he could do was keep up his calm demeanor and figure out how to sell those one thousand pills.
“Hey, young man, why would you say that? If the medicine I’m selling doesn’t work, why has this smallvillage’s flu outbreak gradually improved? It’s not as if you’re the one who was curing the villagers,”Lincoln said as he tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
Upon hearing Lincoln’s words, everyone thought it over and found his words to be very reasonable.After his arrival, the flu cases in the small village were not as severe as before, and the number of sickpeople had decreased.
“Hey! We won’t go easy on you if you dare to slander Master Lincoln again!”
“Get out of our village! You’re not welcome here! Hurry up and leave!”
A sly smile appeared on Lincoln’s face when he saw how the villagers reacted. Even if this young manis more powerful than me, what can he do by exposing me? At this point, these people have put theirunconditional trust in me.
Nothing can change that fact.
Alex coldly glanced at Lincoln. He didn’t blame the villagers for not believing him. After all, Lincoln hadbeen there for a long time and had instilled many ideas into them. It was indeed difficult for them tolisten to Alex’s words.
Even so, Alex had to resolve the matter. He would not allow Lincoln, a fellow martial artist, to continuedeceiving and tarnishing the reputation of the martial arts community.
“The flu cases in the village slowly decreased because you all took good preventive measures, such aswearing masks and disinfecting regularly. These stopped the influenza virus from spreading further,and that’s why things gradually improved, not because of the mixture of flour and honey, Alex slowlyexplained.
He balled his hand into a fist and crushed the little black pill into powder.
