Chapter 547 The Banquet Begins (Part 2)
Everyone craned their necks to look into the box, where lay an exquisitely crafted necklace inlaid with a crystal-clear ruby—one almost the size of an egg.Gasps of astonishment escaped many lips on the spot.These were all connoisseurs; they knew a gem of this caliber was priceless.Seeing the crowd stunned by his ruby necklace, the Third Young Master of the Devinsire family smiled triumphantly and said, I’m sure you know this as well, Miss Lucia—rubies are the most precious of all gemstones. Their international market price alone runs into tens of thousands of US dollars per carat. Especially a specimen as flawless as this one—it weighs a full 26 carats. I even commissioned the top master jeweler at Tiffany to personally cut and set this gem. The piece alone is worth over 20 million US dollars. I do hope you like it.Many onlookers were green with envy, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.Receiving a 20-million-US-dollar gift for one’s birthday was simply mind-boggling.
Chapter 546 The Banquet Begins (Part 1)
Alan said, A marriage alliance is just like Tian Ji’s Horse Racing Strategy. The fact that the other party is stronger overall doesn’t mean every single one of their ‘horses’ is better than your best one. Their inferior ‘horses’ might even be no match for your superior ones.Claude nodded repeatedly. Young Master, that makes perfect sense. I’m truly enlightened!Alan waved his hand and smiled. You’ve been deeply rooted in Plass City for years. I’m sure you can see the logic in this. Even if you didn’t figure it out immediately, a small nudge is all it takes to make it clear.At this moment, not far away, Paul was standing idle, holding a wine glass. He truly had a newfound respect for Alan.He felt that Alan had once again surpassed his expectations.Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that all the upper-class figures of Plass City would hold Alan in such high regard.Right now, the man whispering to Alan by his side was none other than the Smith family’s representative

Carla replied shyly, I wouldn’t dare dream of winning the championship. The seeded player from Japan this time is truly formidable—she’s the favorite to take the title, and her skills are definitely far superior to mine.Then she added, But I won’t get discouraged. My goal is to make it to the top three!Alan smiled and said, A dream is only achievable if you dare to dream it. I have full faith in you—I think you’ve got what it takes to claim first place. Most of Japan’s combat and sanda techniques are plagiarized from the essence of Chinese martial arts. When the time comes, you must fight for your country’s honor, teach that Japanese player a good lesson, and seize the championship on our home soil!Carla’s eyes lit up with delight as she asked, Master Alan, do you really believe I can win first place?Alan nodded, Absolutely—I have high hopes for you.Carla beamed and said, Master Alan, then can I ask you to come watch my match?Alan agreed without hesitation, Don’t worry. I’ll def

At the same time, her girlish heart harbored a tinge of quiet complaint, as she couldn’t help but feel that Master Alan hadn’t paid much attention to her and her grandfather lately.She hadn’t seen Master Alan visit the pharmacy again these days, so even though she pined for him day and night, she had no chance to meet him.Priscilla, however, was not as preoccupied with such trivial thoughts as his granddaughter. He simply felt that it had been quite some time since he last saw Master Alan. Ever since he took the Rejuvenation Elixir, he could feel every single day just how vital regaining his youth was to him. Thus, deep down in his heart, he was filled with gratitude toward Alan at all times.So he strode forward quickly, clasped his fists and bowed to Alan, saying respectfully, Master Alan, this old man hasn’t seen you in quite a while. I hope you’ve been well lately?Alan smiled faintly and replied, You flatter me, Divine Physician Priscilla. I’ve been doing quite well recently. H

After all, she was the eldest daughter of one of the city’s top-tier prominent families. Spoiled with fine clothes and good food since childhood, and educated in noble etiquette, she was clearly different from girls from ordinary households.When Lucia saw Alan, she hurried over, overcome with excitement, and said shyly, Master Alan, you’re here.Alan smiled faintly and replied, Miss Lucia, why didn’t you tell me in advance that today is your birthday?Lucia apologized, Please don’t take it amiss, Master Alan. I didn’t mention it because I didn’t want you to go to the trouble and expense of preparing a gift for me.Alan chuckled, It wasn’t any trouble at all. Aren’t we friends? Of course I’d get you a gift for your birthday—I would’ve prepared something for you even if you hadn’t said a word.With that, Alan pulled the small box containing the Rejuvenation Elixir out of his pocket.The box was wrapped so meticulously, however, that no one could guess what lay inside.Seeing that Alan

It was precisely the Rejuvenation Elixir he had given to the head of the Green family that made the latter hold Lucia in exceptionally high regard, thus elevating her status within the Green family higher and higher.For all these reasons, Lucia had always treated him with profound respect.Therefore, it was very likely that Lucia had deliberately concealed the fact that it was her birthday for fear of owing him another debt of gratitude.At this thought, Alan suddenly found the situation quite amusing.Lucia, aren’t you afraid of owing me favors? Then I’ll do you an even bigger one this time.He wasn’t going to go out and buy her a birthday gift; instead, he decided to give her a Rejuvenation Elixir.The miraculous effects of the Rejuvenation Elixir were known to every single member of the upper-class society in Plass City.Everyone had witnessed its incredible potency when the head of the Green family publicly took the elixir at the banquet that day.Alan had even heard rumors that
