Chapter 203 Another Long Life Pill

"Finnegan, I didn't expect you to gift something like this. Do you have no bottom line? There is a strong artificial fragrance. It doesn't even look like a traditional medicine pill, let alone the Long Life Pill. Grandpa, please don't take it. It could be harmful to your health! Mr. Miles, Why are you all looking at me like that?"

However, as Myla spoke, she noticed that Gilbert and the others were looking at her with a mixture of disgust and a hint of sympathy, leaving her bewildered

Winston cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Caulder, we wouldn't believe others if they claimed to possess the Long Life Pill. But if this Long Life Pill is presented by Mr. Larkin, then it must certainly be genuine." Gilbert nodded. "Exactly!"

"Finnegan has the Long Life Pill," Bruce said, a mix of envy and jealousy in his voice. "He brought one out during my birthday banquet. I foolishly rejected it. In the end, it was taken by Director Alexander Cooper, who became more than a decade younger!"

Pointing at the Long Life Pill in Soren's hand, he continued with bitterness, "It looks exactly like this, with the same fragrance."

Myla trembled, her face turning red.

With everyone vouching for Finnegan, saying it was fake would be like slapping Gilbert and the others in the face.

Isn't the semi-finished Long Life Pill something that only those big shots have? Did I just lose that bet?

Soren frowned as he glanced at Myla. Her performance today was somewhat disappointing.

Upon hearing everyone vouching for Finnegan, Jeremiah and William perked up. "Dad, you should accep it."

If Soren could live for another twenty years, he could continue to support the family.

After all, the Caulder family owed its success to him.

At this point, Finnegan also realized what was going on He looked at the Long Life Pill in amazement. "Can such a small pill be so miraculous?"

"Desmond, why don't you take it back?"

Originally, Soren already felt undeserving. At this moment, he immediately handed it over without any hesitation.

After a moment of surprise, Desmond waved his hands and said, "No, no. Since Finny gave it to you, yo should accept it. Besides, your longevity allows you to contribute more to the education sector of Loang which is far more necessary than someone insignificant like me!"

Desmond's words were sincere, not just empty talk.

Feeling moved, Soren expressed his gratitude, "You and your son are generous and magnanimous

individuals. Thank you both. I'll accept the Long Life Pill

Turning to Jeremiah and William, be instructed, "Finnaved my life and now presented me with such a generous gift. From now on, no matter where, if the Latkin family encounters trouble, you brothers must unconditionally help and support them!"

Jeremiah and William responded, "Yes!"

Finnegan chuckled "Old Mr. Caulder, you should take the Long Life Pill now lest something untoward happens.

Under the enticing temptation of a longer life, very few would care about Soren's identity.

Soren nodded readily.

He picked up the Long Life Pill and popped it into his mouth.

The eyes of everyone present were focused on him, eager to witness the miraculous effects of the Long Life Pill.

Three minutes later, Soren's shriveled and thin skin began to sweat and turn red. His skin also slowly started to puff up, as if it was being inflated.

Some of his graying hair roots quietly turned black, and the wrinkles on his face slowly tightened.

Ten minutes after taking the Long Life Pill, his hunched figure straightened up considerably, and his overall vitality seemed to increase instantly.

Fifteen minutes after taking the Long Life Pill, Soren underwent a drastic transformation.

He appeared at least fifteen years younger, resembling someone in their early sixties.

Even though Bruce had already seen it once with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel envious at this moment. "The Long Life Pill is truly miraculous as it can extend one's life by ten to twenty years!"

Millicent felt like she had swallowed a dead rat.

Glaring fiercely at Finnegan, she gritted his teeth in anger.

Jeremiah and William walked up to Finnegan, bowing in unison. "Thank you, Mr. Larkin!"

Myla's face showed a complex expression. She felt embarrassed.

Nevertheless, she also stepped forward and bowed. "Thank you, Mr. Larkin."

Finnegan had just given away the invaluable Long Life Pill just like that. Myla realized her mistake; she was the one who lacked vision.

Finnegan waved his hand. "Old Mr. Caulder has dedicated his life to the education sector of Loang and cultivated numerous talents. This is what he deserves, so you don't need to thank me." However, the Caulder family still expressed their gratitude to Finnegan.

Soren asked, "Finn, why do I feel so hungry?"

Finnegan replied, "Your bodily functions are much younger now. The amount of food you used to consume isn't enough, hence the hunger."

Upon hearing this, Soren nodded. He expressed his gratitude to Finnegan once again. "Finn, thank you!"

Gilbert and Winston exchanged glances, further solidifying their determination to build a good relationship with Finnegan.

Finnegan could not only save lives but also extend them!

The birthday banquet concluded.

Gilbert and Winston had other matters to attend to, so they instructed Trey before leaving.

Desmond was in high spirits, which was a rare occurrence. Coupled with Soren's insistence, Finnegan decided to let him spend the night at the Caulder residence.

He, along with Trey and the others, was escorted to the door by Myla.

"Mr. Larkin, the lunch setting was restrictive, and we couldn't fully enjoy it. How about we gather again somewhere tonight?"

As he was about to leave, Trey, who had strengthened his relationship with Finnegan over the meal, proposed an idea.

"That's right, let's get together tonight. We won't leave until we're drunk!" Felix added.

Mandy and the others didn't say anything, but their thoughts were the same.

Considering there was nothing else to do that day, Finnegan nodded. "Sure, once you decide on a place, I me know."

Felix said, "I'll arrange it. Later, I'll have my cousin, Zephyr, come to pick you up. His chauffeur duty has been fulfilled even once." Finnegan knew what Felix was planning, but he wasn't opposed to it. "Sure!" he agreed.

After watching them leave, Finnegan turned around to see the four members of the Zimmerman family standing behind him.

Before he could speak, Millicent questioned in a cold voice, "Finnegan, you're quite something! You claimed to have only one Long Life Pill last time, but today, you brought out another one and gave it to Old Mr. Caulder. As Bernice's grandparents, are we undeserving of it?"

"Shut up!"

Bruce, having sat with Soren and others earlier, had a rough understanding of Finnegan and realized tł weren't mere acquaintances.

Naturally, he couldn't let Millicent target Finnegan any further.

Nevertheless, Millicent remained stubborn. "Bruce, are you losing your mind? This young man wants with Bernice, yet he won't even give us two Long Life Pills. And you're still defending him?"

III

Seeing that Millicent's words were becoming more and more outrageous, Bruce quickly interrupted her and said to Finnegan, "When you have time, come over to our house with Bernie. We'll take our leave now."

Ignoring Millicent, who seemed unrelenting, Bruce pulled her along and gestured for Timothy and his sibling to follow him. They left the Caulder residence.

Finnegan stroked his chin. "Old Mr. Zimmerman seems to have come around, but it seems hard for that old woman to change her mind."

Finnegan didn't care whether Millicent came around or not. After all, she wasn't Bernice's real grandmother.

Turning around, he looked at the stiff-faced Myla with a playful glint in his eyes. "Can you handle losing?"

Thinking about their initial agreement, Myla responded in frustration, "I can handle losing!"

"Great, then give me a ride and pay off your debt while you're at it!"
