Chapter 1999


    Due to the actions of the great families, the market for the Pill of Life Exchange was affected. Some


    men disguised themselves as thugs to kick up a fuss at the pharmacies to scare away customers.


    Meanwhile, others secretly ambushed the pill''s supply lines. In addition, the more ruthless would go so


    far as to buy up the entire inventory of pills from pharmacies. Nheless, the pills'' market growth had


    been stymied by various schemes and tricks.


    Soon after, Master Levi made his move, and his initial action was to make a public announcement. ''The


    Pill of Life Exchange is not a miracle cure. It provides temporary health by stimting the body''s


    potential in exchange for short-term health, and as a result, the pill irreparably harms the body.


    Therefore, we strongly advise residents of the South to stay away from this medicine.'' Then, he signed


    his name as "Master Levi, King of the South" because he was the most revered public figure in the Six


    Southern States.


    As soon as the announcement was posted, sales and poprity for the Pill of Life Exchange


    plummeted.


    "Scumbag merchants! You ruined my health, so refund my money!"


    "Damn it! I will have my friends trash your store if anything bad happens to my wife because of your


    pill."


    "What are we waiting for? We should do something right now! I don''t want a refund anymore, and all I


    want to do is destroy their store."


    The terrified owner trembled at the sight of the irate men swarming the pharmacy''s entrance.


    Nheless, he musters the courage to confront them to protect his store. "Everyone, please calm


    down and listen to me. Before I sold it to you, I told you explicitly that the pill was solely intended for


    terminally ill patients. Don''t you think your behavior is unreasonable?"


    As soon as the crowd heard that, their rage began to dissipate. The pharmacy owner was right and


    they had been cautioned, but none paid attention to the warnings.


    When the owner noticed that the crowd had calmed down, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. I''m a

    smart and quick-witted man. He felt pretty good about himself for how he handled the situation, but


    behind him in the crowd stood a stunningly beautiful youngdy still seething with rage.


    As soon as she raised her hand, a six-foot-tall burly man standing next to her immediately bowed


    down, and she pulled his ear.


    "Are you waiting for me to experience the adverse effects? So you can roll in the hay with another


    young person? I warn you that unless you resolve this issue immediately, you will never sleep in my


    bed again."


    "Ouch, Mercy, dear!" he cried out.


    When the youngdy finally released him, the burly man massaged his red, throbbing ear with a pout.


    He quickly responded to her threats with a promise, "Don''t worry, my dear wife. I said I''d tear this ce


    apart, and I will."


    Following that, he stepped forward and grabbed arge boulder that was more than three feet high


    from the side of the road. "Let me through, boys. This shady vendor is trying to trick us with his smooth


    talk. Although the pill was intended for those with terminal illnesses, he never stated that healthy


    individuals could not take it or that there would be side effects. Don''t fall for his lies!"


    When the crowd had cleared his path, he hurled therge boulder at the store, which shattered the


    ss disy case inside.


    Soon, it appeared that his words also roused the other men, who had previously calmed down, to


    anger. Then, they looked over at their wives, who had gloomy expressions that made the men quake


    with fear.


    "Let''s trash this ce!"


    As soon as the cry was yelled out, the crowd rushed into the store. Within five minutes, everything in


    the gigantic pharmacy was shattered to pieces.


    "Let''s go, dear!"


    When she noticed the other women were giving their husbands the cold shoulder, the youngdy


    clutched the muscr arm of her burly man and strutted away from the crowd.


    In numerous locations across the two states, a simr urrence urred. Consequently, any


    pharmacy that sold the Pill of Life Exchange would have its stores trashed.


    Meanwhile, Aurelius'' face darkened as he listened to his assistant''s report on the situation. Although he


    had anticipated a move from Master Levi, he had not anticipated it would be so soon. Moreover, he


    was not expecting the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale to go to such lengths for Matthew.


    "Master Damron, I have bad news! All pharmacy owners have arrived, demandingpensation for


    their stores."


    These men are doing nothing but adding insult to injury. Soon, he could not resist the urge to let out an


    expletive when he heard that.
