“Since we’ve known each other for so long. I’ll let you off for stealing one Rejuvenation Pill. Theremaining pills are my treasure. I won’t sell them to you no matter how much you’re willing to pay,” saidRichard, his voice filled with resolution.
Giles was instantly heartbroken upon hearing his words. I’ve only eaten one. Since we’ve known eachother for almost half of our lives, surely it won’t be too much to give me two?
“We’ve been friends for many years, right? Can’t I buy one from you with one billion? You can keep theother two for yourself. Come on. Don’t be so selfish,” said Giles, unwilling to give up.

for it, so stop trying to get my pills.”
Their conversation left the crowd astounded. Everyone there knew about Richard’s and Giles’friendship, yet the duo was fighting over a few pills with no care about it.
The crowd turned to Alex, wondering if he had drugged the cocoa-bean-looking things.

Despite coming to the realization that he would not be getting the pills from his friend, Giles refused toaccept his fate and shifted his gaze to Alex.

“Grandpa, how could you do this? Do you not want me anymore?” Lydia fell to her knees before Gilesas tears streamed down her cheeks.

Anyone cantell he’s a capable person. Besides, he can even create pills like this. He’ll definitely achieve greatthings in the future.”
Richard’s countenance froze in that fleeting moment, his features etched with disbelief. Not only hadhis friend stolen his pill, but now it seemed that he was attempting to snatch his grandson-in-law away.The absurdity of it all only served to intensify Richard’s sense of bewilderment.
