Chapter 822 Fighting Over A Son In Law

Alex's pill might not have a significant effect on others, but they were magical pills for elderly people like Richard and Giles.

No matter how healthy or tough their bodies were, they would still fall sick because of their age.

They had to take supplements and medicines every day. Moreover, they could not do strenuous workouts, and even a simple fall could cost them their lives.

Alex's pill, however, could make their bodies return to the state it was ten years ago.

Uber-wealthy people like Richard and Giles had nothing left to pursue in life.

Spending several billion was nothing if they could become younger.

After all, it was a rare opportunity that one could never replace after missing it.

"Since we've known each other for so long. I'll let you off for stealing one Rejuvenation Pill. The remaining pills are my treasure. I won't sell them to you no matter how much you're willing to pay," said Richard, his voice filled with resolution.

Giles was instantly heartbroken upon hearing his words. I've only eaten one. Since we've known each other 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 the other two for yourself. Come on. Don't be so selfish," said Giles, unwilling to give up. Richard snorted coldly without even looking at Giles. "You've already eaten one, and I'm not making you

pay

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.

Yes. That must be it. He must've drugged them. Otherwise, Old Mr. Grant and Old Mr. Siddall wouldn't be behaving like this.

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

He's the one who gave Old Mr. Grant the pills. Maybe he has more!

The thought of that made Giles feel better, and the look on his face relaxed significantly. He gazed at Alex. earnestly and said, "Young man, will you give me some of the Rejuvenation Pills if I let you marry my granddaughter?"

-Lydia froze. Grandpa's letting me marry a scammer for some pills? That's never happened before!

Giles adored his granddaughter to the point that he could not bear to let her get involved in the family's tradition of having arranged marriages. He said he would let her seek her own true love. Why did he suddenly change his mind?

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

Of course, it broke Giles' heart to see his granddaughter like that. Patting Lydia's shoulder, he comforted her. "You silly girl. I'm going this for your own good! Just look at this young man. Anyone can tell he's a capable person. Besides, he can even create pills like this. He'll definitely achieve great things in the future."

Richard's countenance froze in that fleeting moment, his features etched with disbelief. Not only had his 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.

Upon hearing those words, he swiftly.interjected, "Giles, you old thief. I'm already letting you off for stealing one of my pills, and now you're trying to steal my grandson-in-law, too? Dream on!"
