Not Again Mr Whitney

“A kind of potion, Basilisk Venom, extremely rare, the ability to extend life expectancy.”

Calvin was rapturous. He didn’t expect that the Book of the Malandra to be incredibly functional. It could cure people and appraise treasures.

This thing called Basilisk Venom could extend his life? Then he couldn’t waste it like that.

He hastily licked the transparent juice on his hand. It tasted bitter like bitter almonds. Once he took it in, he felt it was flowing throughout his body, which felt very comfortable.

Seeing that Calvin wouldn’t even waste the walnut that he took from garbage, Vincent despised him even more, “You only deserve to eat garbage. Take a look at my gift...”

He took a wooden box from his wife, Betty Houston. Even the box alone was very pretty.

“Look at what Vincent’s got for Mrs. Houston! He must have put a lot of efforts in it. The box alone was very pricey. It’s completely hand-painted. Gorgeous and not cheesy. Mrs. Houston is gonna love it.”

“Don’t put it like that. He’s not the only young man who put efforts in their gifts. You can’t say so many nice things about him just because he’s your son-in-law.”

“Stop it. Why are you arguing about this? As long as Mrs. Houston is happy, we’re happy. And no one can be worse than that loser over there.”

“Yeah.”

Carrie put her hands on her chest and she seemed like she didn’t feel quite well. Lewis held her arms and walked her to another place to comfort her.

Vincent opened the wooden box proudly, “I’m going to feed your sight on.”

Inside the box was a piece of jade carved with complex patterns. It looked very expensive.

“How does it look like? I went to a temple and got this jade amulet on my trip to Oakshire. A great wizard gave his blessings to this gift.”

Calvin was standing next to him, having some hard feelings. He didn’t know that Vincent also went to Oakshire. Did he and Rita meet up...

Vincent had been having an eye on Rita and he wanted to steal her away. But Rita never crossed the line so Calvin had to pretend he didn’t know anything about this.

Carrie saw the amulet and was acting even weirder.

“Isn’t that the jade amulet that we saw before? It’s worth three hundred thousand dollars.”

Hearing that, Vincent got cockier. He was busy wondering how to mention the price and brag about it.
