Chapter 2146 The Effects of the Ultimate Tonic Liquor


    Old Mr. Bane had always been decisive and efficient. So, right after he finished speaking, he instructed


    a server to bring over the birthday presents Matthew brought.


    There wasn''t anything extraordinary with the packaging for the liquor, but when the bottle was opened,


    the thick aroma filled the air.


    Everyone couldn''t help but feel a jolt of energy just by getting a whiff of the sweet aroma wafting from


    the liquor bottle. So, when they saw the amber-colored liquid slowly flow into the ss, the alcohol


    lovers in the room couldn''t help but salivate at the sight. s, their statuses also restricted them into


    confinements of dignified poise. Thus, they could only stare at the liquor with longing eyes.


    However, Old Mr. Bane merely took things in stride. Although he hadn''t known Matthew for long, he


    knew Matthew''s character well. If it was something ordinary, hisst disciple wouldn''t have brought it to


    the birthday banquet.


    Moreover, Old Mr. Bane was an alcohol lover, to begin with. Unfortunately, he was forced to swap his


    drinks for tea due to his declining health. Hence, when such fine alcohol was ced in front of him, the


    yearning which he had hidden for years was awakened.


    The second his hand touched the ss, Albert, who was next to him, hurriedly stopped him. "Master,


    you can''t drink anything alcoholic." This was the advice Matthew gave, and Albert remembered it to this


    day.


    The initially enthusiastic Old Mr. Bane became hesitant at Albert''s timely warning and turned his gaze


    to Matthew.


    Matthew understood the questioning look in his eyes. So, he stepped forward and exined, "Don''t


    worry, Albert. This liquor has been specially processed, and the alcohol content will evaporate through


    the pores and breathing even before it reaches the stomach. So, Master Bane''s health will not be


    affected if he takes this liquor."


    Old Mr. Bane immediately tossed all his worries out the window as he picked up the ss and finished


    it in one go. Then, under everyone''s anticipatory gaze, he breathed out heavily and roared, "Delicious!"


    It was just as Matthew said, a sweet, mellow taste spread out when the liquor entered the mouth and it


    glided smoothly down the throat. However, the instant it managed to arrive at the stomach, all the


    alcohol had evaporated. To his immense delight, Matthew had also ingeniously reced the strong,


    rancid taste of alcohol with the sweet blend of herbs.


    Gustav, who was seated close by, squirmed restlessly when he noticed just how Old Mr. Bane was


    enjoying himself. He could identify no less than thirty herbs used just from the aroma alone. He knew


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    everything there was to know about tonic liquor after spending decades upon decades studying


    medicine. The more herbs that were used, the stronger medicinal effects they would have, but blindly


    adding any herbs into the brewing process was not enough.


    Every herb had its medicinal properties, and the medicinal properties of each herb would influence one


    another. Therefore, if they were not processed properly, the tonic would turn into poison.


    Old Mr. Bane naturally caught sight of the eager expression on the faces of the CAUMP members. So,


    he instructed the servers to serve the liquor to Gustav and the others, who were already tapping their


    feet impatiently. They didn''t hesitate to pick up the ss and took a sniff before closing their eyes,


    analyzing carefully. During this brief process, they were pleasantly surprised that they felt more


    refreshed than before.


    As an elder of the medical union, Gustav was more concerned about the harmonization and


    pharmacology of the liquor. His worries were ced to rest just after a sip—a small little sip—his body


    gradually felt energized. As he was tied up with work recently, various parts of his body were beginning


    to show signs of fatigue, but even those symptoms of stress were slowly receding after a taste.


    "Ny-nine types of herbs," Matthew said honestly.


    "Very impressive. You''ve surpassed many elders, and I can only distinguish eighty-five herbs." Then,


    Gustav gave him a smile of approval before finishing the liquor in one gulp. Re?d at Dr?mа?оvеls
