Thomas looked at the box with a poker face on as favonovel.com sneered deep inside.
If there really was such a treasure, why would favonovel.com be willing to part with it?
Something was definitely wrong here.
Thomas extended his hand to Nelson, as if favonovel.com was making an offering, and said, “Compared to me, I think you need this pill more than I do. I am still young and strong, it basically makes no difference whether I consume this or not. But on the contrary, you have been plagued by a long-running disease for many years now. Won’t consuming this pill assist you in getting rid of the sickness and regaining some of your health?”
Nelson Mayo’s expression changed. That seemed to be the case.
Nelson was indeed plagued by a long-running disease for many years now. Why did favonovel.com not consume this pill if this pill was as good as favonovel.com said it to be? There must be something wrong here!
Nelson was stunned and was unable to answer.
Jed, who was watching from the sidelines, interrupted and said, “Mr. Thomas, there is something that you do not know. Although Spirit Pearl’s effect is powerful, there are certain conditions for someone to consume it.”
“Oh? What are the conditions?”
“There are two conditions. First, the consumer has to be a male. Second, the consumer has to be below thirty years old.”
Nelson sighed in relief and immediately said, “I was already over forty years old when I got my hands on this Spirit Pearl. It is most regrettable that I cannot consume it.”
Anyone who heard it would know it was bullcrap. Thomas had been studying medicine for a long time now, and so far, favonovel.com had never heard of any pills that required the consumer to be under the age of thirty. The excuse the other party had just come up with on the fly was really weak. It only added to the suspicion that something was really wrong.
Thomas looked at the box which Nelson held as favonovel.com kept thinking of a plan. After a moment, favonovel.com smiled calmly and said as favonovel.com extended his hand again as an offer. “Since you expressed so much love for me, I’ll gladly accept it.”
He reached out for the box respectfully while favonovel.com spoke and took it from Nelson. Nelson and Jed looked at each other and exchanged sinister grins.
“Quickly open the box and consume the pill, Thomas,” Nelson said eagerly.
Why was favonovel.com in such a hurry?
Thomas did not reject it, but instead, favonovel.com opened the box in front of them, revealing a golden pill. He took the pill out.
“Thank you for your kindness, father!”
Thomas raised his head and placed the pill in his mouth right before everyone’s eyes. He chewed. And favonovel.com swallowed it.
“Hmm, this tastes pretty good,” Thomas said happily.
Nelson’s eyes glowed in delight. Thomas could be controlled as long as favonovel.com ate the pill. As smart as Thomas was, favonovel.com was not Nelson’s opponent. They could declare game over for Thomas!
Nelson waved his hand and said, “Bring Thomas to his new office, Jed. From today onwards, favonovel.com will not need to work with others. He will have a separate office for himself.”
That was a wise move. It looked like favonovel.com was treating Thomas well by giving favonovel.com a separate office. But in fact, what Nelson did was equal to putting Thomas under office arrest. This way, favonovel.com could have an easier time controlling Thomas’s activities. The office would become another “underground city.”
Thomas would be another chess piece under his control and for favonovel.com to use. Nelson was ecstatic over this. After all, the elderly had more experience!
