Author: Lord Leaf

Many guests gave Douglas their gifts. With the painting in tow, Charlie walked towards Douglas and said, “Congratulations, buddy. This is a little gift from us to celebrate your opening ceremony.”

Claire said with a smile, “Douglas, congratulations and best wishes on your grand opening. May your business be prosperous with many years to come!”

“Thank you, thank you!” Douglas said hurriedly. Then, he leaned to Charlie’s ear and whispered with a mischievous smirk, “Hey, I see that you and our be

Chapter 7138
After news about those private island escapades and artists' wild parties had gone global, almost every celebrity was suddenly suspected of the same interests.Naturally, that included the Rothschilds—but as the family never really responded to such gossip and rumors, it remained nothing more than speculation.Hank naturally didn't want any trouble for himself, so he chuckled awkwardly, "Please, Mr. Rothschild. There's no reason to get so upset with a bunch of spineless worms like us. We are so insignificant compared to you—""Word of advice? Cut the crap," Julien snorted in disdain. "Pay up for dinner, and I mean both nights. That's 20 million per head, and I'll send the account number later. Your deal with Mr. Wade is your business—I won't intervene.""Oh, okay!" Hank promptly agreed to it.Naturally, he wasn't keen on spending a billion outright, but he could spend 20 million for now and see how things went. After flattering Julien before hanging up, Hank was glowering as he

The rest of the cabal thought about it and nodded slightly—eliminate the impossible, and whatever remained, however improbable, had to be the truth.Hence, voting Hank as their representative, they contacted Julien.Julien was just hating on them to the bone.He had really thought that everyone would show him, the heir apparent of the Rothschilds, due respect.But as it turned out, those geezers were sick and twisted—so obsessed with their fetish that they were willing to give up on their future.And they had definitely called his bluff.Even as the heir apparent of the Rothschilds, the only threat he posed was enforcing boycotts in business, denying them wealth. So, once the cabal decided that they no longer cared how much money they made, as they had enough to spend for the rest of their lives, Julien was no threat to them at all.As such, he was still seething when he got Hank's call first thing in the morning, and he immediately snapped, "What the fuck are you calling me f

When dawn arrived the next day, the cabal member whose heart had stopped was now stable, along with the rest.The doctors advised them to stay for observation, but they simply brushed past him as they were used to overdosing, even on drugs.By morning, Hank and the rest of the cabal had quickly discharged themselves.Their friend whose heart had stopped was still weakened, but he insisted on leaving too—he was not going to die, and staying in the hospital was pointless.Moreover, the longer they stayed in public, the more likely they could get caught and exposed.Hence, as they left Silverwing Hospital together, Hank asked, "So, did you all notice something strange?""Strange?" One of them asked in return. "You mean it's strange that we're all having… Performance issues?"Hank frowned. "What, are you saying that's not strange?""Well, yeah," the other man nodded, pursing his lips. "I was just wondering if that Oskian man did something to us. Why else would we suffer the same th

Hank asked, "What? Where are you taking me?""A private ward, Sir," the nurse replied.Hank was shocked. "Wait, does that mean we're still at risk?""You can ask the doctor, not me."As the nurse finished speaking, Hank was wheeled into an independent room.Once the nurse helped Hank settle in, two uniformed officers strode in, one of them staring fixedly at him. "Good evening—we're from Aurous Hill precinct. Can we confirm that you overdosed on sildenafil?"Hank scowled unhappily. "Well, yeah. I took too many pills…"The officer nodded and pressed, "Why would you do that?"Hank scowled even harder. "Because I couldn't get it up!"The officer raised a brow—at least the man was honest.As such, he tried to frame the next question politely, "Do you understand that sex tourism is a violation of Oskian laws?""But it's not sex tourism!" Hank groaned. "I just said I couldn't get it up—like, I'm motivated, but it just ain't working! Are you mocking me, officer?!"The officer purs

After the hospital called the cops, however, another foreign patient was rushed in before the cops could arrive.Still, three patrol cars soon arrived at Silverwing Hospital, and the officer in charge questioned the emergency department chief.The emergency department chief scratched his head and sighed. "It's a complete mystery—they are all foreigners, and all of them overdosed on sildenafil without exception. One of them is even in critical condition…"The officer was stunned. "Sildenafil? As in… viagra?!""Yeah—that's the brand name," the emergency department chief nodded. "The side effects are never that serious, so they had to have taken way too much to be in that state."The officer pursed his lips awkwardly. "How can we intervene with some foreigners taking too much viagra? Heck, we might even look bad for bossing tourists around just for taking viagra…"The emergency department chief shook his head. "Their possibly unseemly activities aside, you know how bad things can ge

Nonetheless, the older members of the cabal presumed that it was merely stress from the long journey, and thus, they took more little blue pills than usual until their blood pressure skyrocketed and they were positively trembling.But even though their body hairs were standing up, they still couldn't get it up.The first one who suffered was Hank—even with six little blue pills and the company of three young women, he still couldn't get a rise.Frustrated, he kept shoving more pills in his mouth while huffing, "What the hell is going on? Did Julien and that prick somehow get to my mind?!"Even as he was done speaking, he shoved another pill down his throat.Such was the difference in mindset between believers of traditional and non-traditional medicine.Even when it came to painkillers like morphine or ibuprofen, believers of traditional medicine would always stick to the dosage stated on the doctor's prescription or the directions displayed on the product label.That wasn't the
