Chapter 2147 Matthew Takes a Seat, Roxanne Is Unsettled
An observant person would notice that the people from CAUMP were now more energetic and filled with vigor
after the drink, which further highlighted the extraordinary effects of the liquor.
After Gustav finished the liquor, he was shocked by the effects. He was aware that refining pills was an incredibly
tiring thing on the mind, and spills required the refiner to maintain a high level of alertness for days on end.
The slightest distraction might wash all the work that was done previously down the drain.
But with this liquor as support, all these problems will be easily solved, Gustav thought and asked expectantly,
"Mr. Larson, do you still have more of this liquor? I'll trade it with the Youthful Pill from CAUMP." Everyone was
stunned and wondered whether Gustav was addicted to the liquor upon hearing those outrageous words.
Just as the nsuggested, the Youthful Pill was efficient in retaining youthful looks, but it was more than
difficult to get a single of this pill. As a result, it drove women around the world utterly nuts.

It was then that a horrifying truth dawned upon the crowd-the value of the tonic liquor that Matthew presented
was far above what they imagined.
Dark alley? Fake liquor?
Gustav's behavior was akin to raising a hand on Matthew's behalf and slapping it across the people who sneered
at him earlier.
As for the Youthful Pill, Matthew was very interested in it because he thought it would be a good gift for his wife,
Sasha. Unfortunately, he had already finished using the ingredients he had. Besides, he had als requested
someone to pass Hildegard the extra bottle. Thus, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"What a shame." Gustav sighed in disappointment, and the generous Old Mr. Bane offered the other bottle of
liquor to them.
Old Mr. Bane regarded it as a favor to Matthew, and the banquet now had turned into an act with Matthew as the
male lead while others watched in envy and jealousy as Old Mr. Bane showered him with adoration.
As for the Renewal Pill, Old Mr. Bane glanced at Matthew, who closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. The
former immediately understood that the pill wasn't meant to be disclosed in public. Meanwhile, Roxanne was
overjoyed to see everyone's stunned and gagged faces. Hmph, that should teach you guys a lesson for picking
on Matthew earlier! she thought gleefully.
Alas, before she could revel in triumph, the things Old Mr. Bane said the next second made her so frustrated that
she stomped her feet. "Matthew, since you're now my disciple, you're just like my son and nephews. Cand
joinat the host's table."
No! If Matthew becomes Grandpa's disciple, he'll be in the sgeneration as my dad and uncles, Roxanne
realized in horror, watching as Matthew stood up and paced composedly to the host table. Suddenly, she was
struck by panic. If that happens, I'll not have a chance at all, she thought, rushing to her grandfather's side and
taking his arm.

Even though she was intimidated by Old Mr. Bane's authoritative manners, she couldn't care less when things
had cto this point. "No, Grandpa. If this happens, then I'll have to address Matthew as my uncle after this
and | don't want that," she whined as tears started to well up in her eyes.
The guests, especially the young men, were almost heartbroken by this scene. She reacted this way precisely
because she was worried that there was no chance for her to develop a romantic relationship with Matthew due
to the differences in their standing in the family.
On the other hand, the older guests glared at Matthew with resentment in their eyes as he took a seat at the
host table. From now onward, he would be Old Mr. Bane's disciple, and his status was high enough to be on the
slevel as everyone else. Not only did he win the favor of Old Mr. Bane, but he also secretly won the heart of
Roxanne, the little princess of the Bane Family.
What on Earth did Matthew do to get all the good things in this world served to him on a silver platter? Many in
the crowd felt a sharp stab of bitterness at that thought and reflexively clutched their chests in frustration.
