Just as Lin Huowang had predicted, Mai Lihao was currently experiencing intense inner turmoil.
The warning bells rang in his mind, reminding him of the responsibilities and risks of being the Governor of Hong Kong.
However, the powerful confidence beneath Lin Huowang's calm words, and the almost magical allure of the two blue pills themselves, were like molten lava, constantly melting away the ice of his reason.
This is a man's most primal and profound desire: to regain his lost power and dignity. This thought instantly overwhelmed everything else in his mind.
Yes, given Kobayashi Tenmoku's current wealth, status, and ambition in Hong Kong, what motive could he have, and what need would he have to poison the Governor of Hong Kong, who holds the highest power in Hong Kong, in the presence of Sir Michael Sandberg?
This would be entirely detrimental to Kobayashi Tenno.
On the contrary, if he could resolve his "problem" and prove the drug's effectiveness, it would be of great benefit to him.
Although Governor Murray MacLehose was very tempted, he wasn't completely thoughtless. After careful analysis, he naturally made a reasonable judgment.
At this moment, the scales of logic tipped completely in favor of those two magical, dark blue pills.
"Enough, Peter! I...I believe in Kobayashi!"
MacLehose's voice was low and resolute at this moment, carrying a long-lost decisiveness.
He also stopped looking at Shen Bi's ashen face and turned his gaze back to the two blue pills.
He reached out and picked up the two pills without hesitation.
Yes!
Lam Ho-wong won the bet, and Governor Murray MacLehose couldn't resist the temptation.
Even amid Sir Michael Sandberg's stern admonitions, Governor Murray MacLehose eagerly accepted the two magical pills.
The warm Ceylon tea on the coffee table was still warm when Governor Murray MacLehose quickly picked up the teacup, then without hesitation put two pills into his mouth, tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbed, and with a "gulp," the tea carrying the pills flowed down smoothly.
"Sir! You can't eat this!"
Shen Bi was also shocked and furious. He then stood up abruptly, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.
His hand, which he wanted to use to stop them, froze in mid-air; it was too late.
He took a deep breath, looked at MacLehose, then turned to Lin Huowang with a mixture of shock and anger, his eyes filled with rage, and shouted, "Young Lin, you...you're playing with fire! What if something happens to the Duke's health...the consequences..."
“Peter, don’t be so serious. Why did things have to come to this? Kobayashi has no reason to harm me. I think… there won’t be any problems! At most, the medicine just won’t work.”
But MacLehose interrupted him, his heart already filled with anticipation.
He put down his teacup, then clenched his fists and placed them on his knees, holding his breath, focusing all his senses on the most subtle changes inside his body.
Inside the private room, a suffocating silence instantly descended, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall amplified and resonating in everyone's hearts.
Time passed by, second by second, and no one spoke. Each second felt exceptionally long.
Lin Huowang smiled and looked at the two of them. The situation today was much better than he had imagined.
He originally came to persuade Shen Bi, but he didn't know if Shen Bi had any needs in this regard. Although Shen Bi was old, there were no rumors in later generations about Shen Bi's lack of ability in this area.
The arrival of Governor Murray MacLehose was perfectly timed; once he experienced the benefits, all the problems would be solved.
At that time, even if Lin Huowang didn't want a loan, Shen Bi and Mai Lihao would insist that he take out one.
At this very moment...
MacLehose kept his eyes closed, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing.
Shen Bi's inner doubts and anxieties were growing wildly, almost breaking through his calm exterior.
He even started planning how to handle any emergencies, how to minimize the impact, and how to make Kobayashi Tenno take full responsibility while absolving himself of any responsibility...
Yes!
From the very beginning, Shen Bi did not believe Lin Huowang's boastful words.
Even if such a miraculous drug really existed in the world, it would never have been developed by an unknown pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong. It should have been developed by a top pharmaceutical research institute in Europe or the United States!
Although Shen Bi was based in Hong Kong, he looked down on the so-called scientific research capabilities of Hong Kong.
This conclusion was drawn from the various documents and data he had access to from HSBC. To put it bluntly, Hong Kong Island is just an international financial port; where would it get any high technology or scientific genes?
However, at this very moment...
Sudden!
MacLehose's body jolted suddenly, and his eyes snapped open!
His grey-blue eyes burst forth with a light that neither Shen Bi nor Lin Huowang had ever seen before—an unbelievable ecstasy mixed with a primal power that had been suppressed for too long and was suddenly released!
It's like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, with scorching lava about to gush out!
Yes!
The medicine is working.
The powerful Viagra did not fail on Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose.
Moreover, because it was his first time taking it, the effects of the medicine were even more intense on Governor Murray MacLehose.
"They're here!!"
MacLehose's voice cracked with excitement.
