In the lobby located on the top floor of Meadow Restaurant, Tommy displayed all the revitalizing pills. Those thumb-sized pills were all black, and they looked unsightly.
No one would even pay attention to the medicine's effectiveness when they all looked unpresentable.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for showing up here today. I'm pleased to introduce you to the revitalizing pills. These are—”
“Oh, please spare us the formalities! We're all busy with our work, so just name the price. We'll pay you accordingly!” a middle-aged man in a checkered suit interjected impatiently.
Everyone turned their attention to the man and admired his courage in speaking bluntly to Tommy.
Though they all knew Tommy was merely trying to rake in money, none of them had to guts to say that to his face.
However, Tommy was not infuriated. Instead, he responded with a smile. “Harry, I've prepared a pill just for you. You haven't slept with a woman for a long time, have you?”
Harry instantly flushed with embarrassment.
He had only dared to speak to Tommy in such a manner because they were close friends. That was why the latter was aware of some of his health problems.
Having lived a life of debauchery in his younger days, Harry was facing a problem of low potency, despite only being in his thirties. He had gone to many doctors and spent a lot of money on treatment, but they were all ineffective. Hence, he eventually gave up and decided to focus on growing his business.
Nonetheless, he still felt embarrassed when Tommy exposed his secret in public. “I won't eat that pill of yours! It's black and looks ugly. I doubt it's even medicine. If you need money, just tell us! There's no need to go through so much hassle.”
To Harry, those pills did not look
appetizing at all.
“You're wrong, Harry. I'm giving out these pills for free today. Since you don't believe in it, I'll let you try first!” Tommy grinned and walked in Harry's direction.
“Please. I'm not going to risk my life by eating this hideous little thing!” Harry backpedaled fearfully.
