Chapter 76 Help Me Verify
What? Long Life Pill? Not to mention the finished product of Long Life Pill?
Everyone was astounded.
is this guy serious? Even a semi-finished Long Life Pill is incredibly valuable. How much more would
this finished product cost? If even the semi-finished Long Life Pill acquired by Liam is a fake, there’s no
way this guy has the real Long Life Pill.
In just a moment, over ninety percent of those present looked at Finnegan with disdain. This guy is
even more pretentious than Liam!
Even Bernice, who had walked over to stand beside Finnegan, couldn’t help but frown, not fathoming
what Finnegan was up to.
It was widely known that the recipe to craft a Long Life Pill was lost. Hence, even a semi- finished
product was priceless. Everyone wondered where the finished product of the Long Life Pill came from.
Liam was furious. His eyes shone as a mocking expression spread across his face. “Finnegan, I
suppose this finished product of Long Life Pill must’ve cost you a great fortune. I didn’t expect an
ordinary person like you to be more generous than I am!”
Finnegan nodded and, to everyone’s surprise, responded unabashedly, “That’s right. I’m indeed more
generous than you.”
Many of those present discreetly shook their heads in disappointment.
They had admired Finnegan for exposing Liam’s fake Long Life Pill with a few simple remarks, yet
Finnegan’s behavior now had proven himself to be just another pretender. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Even the semi-finished product obtained by the heir of the Sable family was a fake, so how could
someone with no background like Finnegan possess a genuine Long Life Pill?
Seemingly having found an opportunity to vent her anger, Millicent lifted her hand and swatted the box
in Finnegan’s hand, causing the slightly unsightly pill to fall and roll on the ground. “Quit making a fool
of yourself here, Finnegan. Do you think you’re Mr. Sable? Hurry up and return to your seat, or get lost
if you don’t want to eat!”
Seeing Millicent lashing out at Finnegan, Liam, Queenie, and the others smirked smugly.
Timothy teased, “Finnegan, this thing looks so ugly. Are you sure you’re not trying to harm my
grandpa?”
The other members of the Zimmerman family nodded in agreement, with some even
suggesting that the pill’s fragrance was most likely present due to the addition of poisonous
The guests present also chimed in with their thoughts.
Bruce’s dislike toward Finnegan intensified. “Put away that thing and go back to your seat.”
Finnegan walked over and picked up the Long Life Pill he concocted. Then, he gently blew off the dust
of the pill and turned around. He stopped Bernice, who was about to speak, with a look and fixed his
gaze on Bruce, saying, “Old Mr. Zimmerman, I got this pill by chance from an old traditional medicine
practitioner during my travels. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
“That’s enough. A finished product of Long Life Pill is invaluable, easily worth billions, yet you’re willing
to gift it to Bruce? Quit acting!” Millicent cut in before Bruce could respond.
Bruce had been a little tempted upon taking in Finnegan’s composed mien.
However, after he listened to his wife’s words, his eyes gleamed with newfound resolution. “Since you
think it’s a genuine product, you should keep it for yourself. I’ll just consider myself unworthy of
consuming it!”
Finnegan flashed a faint smile. “Just because I come from a humble background, even if what I bring is
genuine, it’s considered fake? On the other hand, the counterfeit items produced by those born
privileged are considered real? Is that it?”
His comment was clearly targeted at Liam, prompting Liam’s already darkened expression to turn
increasingly grim.
Bruce suppressed his rage and remained silent, but Millicent straightforwardly and viciously replied,
“That’s right. Your background determines the value of what you possess. Besides, you can’t possibly
have the finished product of Long Life Pill. You’re not worthy!”
Finnegan sighed. His patience for the Zimmerman family’s old couple was running thin.
He nodded and said. “Dr. Cooper!”
Alexander, who was also invited to attend the event that night, stepped forward. “Mr. Larkin, what can I
do for you?”
The sight of how courteous Alexander treated Finnegan left many uninformed guests astonished. Only
the members of the Zimmerman family remained unfazed because they knew the duo had met when
Bernice was undergoing treatment. Alexander had even invited Finnegan to work at General Hospital.
Patrick, who had been quiet the whole time, furrowed his brows as a sense of foreboding suddenly
surged within him.
Famegan handed the Long Life Pill to Alexander. “Everyone thinks my Long Life Pill is fake. I’d like you
to help me verify the authenticity of this product, Dr. Cooper. Please consume it in front of everyone, Dr.
Cooper!”
“Is he crazy? This pill came from an unknown origin-”
Someone voiced their doubt at once, but Alexander had already tossed the pill into his mouth before
they could finish their sentence. “Sure!”
The room fell into a stunned silence. A second later, someone shouted anxiously, “Dr. Cooper, that
could be poison!”
Queenie quickly added, “Dr. Cooper, this Finnegan is just an average Joe. There’s no way he
possesses the real Long Life Pill. Hurry up and spit that thing out!”
However, Alexander didn’t respond. As soon as he swallowed the Long Life Pill, it instantly melted in
his mouth, filling his oral cavity with a fragrant aroma.
Immediately afterward, the medicated liquid trickled down his throat, and a warm sensation spread
within his stomach. The warmth didn’t cause him any discomfort but instead permeated his entire b*dy,
making him feel as though he was soaking in a warm spring.
Alexander couldn’t help but let out a sigh of contentment.
He began to sweat profusely. Moreover, everyone could see the sweat was slightly blackish, which
caused a stir among the onlookers. Once again, pin-drop silence filled the air inside the venue as
everyone widened their eyes. They were eager to witness what would happen
next.
Two minutes later, under the crowd’s watchful gaze, Alexander’s skin started to tighten, not only the
saggy skin on his face but also the skin of every exposed part of his b*dy.
Some even noticed that Alexander’s graying hair was turning black.
Seeing that, a guest exclaimed, “Could this Long Life Pill be real? But why is the effect different from
the rumors? The pill is reversing Dr. Cooper’s age!”
Bruce shuddered all over. He clenched his fists as regret filled his eyes.
Millicent bit her l*p so hard that it bled.
Catching glimpses of their reactions, Finnegan sneered inwardly and uttered, “Long Life Pill is also
known as Age Reversing Pill. This pill has a life-extending effect on a healthy person who consumes it.
The pill’s effect is also somewhat different from the rumor circulating in public Long Life Pill doesn’t just
extend a person’s life; it can also reverse the age of its consumer, making someone look ten years
younger while prolonging their life by twenty years!”
A commotion erupted at the scene. The regretful look in Bruce’s eyes intensified. He was
ven unable to contain himself as he asked, “The finished product of Long Life Pill doesn’t just add a few
years to one’s lifespan?”
Finnegan nodded. “That’s right. A finished product of the Long Life Pill can extend a person’s lifespan
by twenty years and make them at least ten years younger. It’s a pity that I only have
one.”
Hearing that, Bruce felt dizzy and staggered backward. Fortunately, Patrick caught him. “Dad, are you
all right?”
At that moment, after witnessing the effect of the pill, no one dared to accuse further that Finnegan’s
Long Life Pill was fake.
Millicent was so livid that her face turned pale. She pointed at Finnegan tremblingly and roared angrily,
“B*stard! Why didn’t you tell us the Long Life Pill is real? Bruce and I could’ve split it and looked years
younger and extended our lives by a decade!”
Bernice, who had calmed herself down, looked at Finnegan with mixed feelings.
Then, she responded to Millicent’s remark, “Grandma, Finnegan did tell you. You just refused to believe
him.”
That’s right. He told them from the beginning, yet they were the ones who didn’t believe him. Whose
fault is that? The guests couldn’t help but pity the elderly couple. They’re truly unfortunate!
Holding back his urge to vomit blood, Bruce stopped Millicent. “This means we’re not destined to
consume the Long Life Pill. Let’s drop it.”
