The following morning was, for some of the British aristocracy and for the British people as a whole, a truly magical and meaningful morning.
London, at the Duke of Wellington's estate.
The Duke, a highly respected figure in the House of Lords and known for his rigidity and seriousness, was standing in front of the huge full-length dressing mirror in his bedroom with an incredulous expression.
He really didn't sleep a wink last night.
But this was different from his usual insomnia caused by aging. Last night, he was so excited that he was like a bull full of energy.
He hadn't looked at himself in the mirror with such narcissism for many years.
At this moment, his face was rosy, and his whole body was filled with a boiling energy for the propagation of the race.
Looking at himself like this, he felt that even his sparse white hair seemed more pleasing to the eye.
Is this... is this still the same person who has been weak for over a decade and lacks even the strength to fight?
"God... this is absolutely the best gift you have given me!"
He was extremely satisfied and excited, feeling that this was a gift from God, and that the magical boy from the East must be an envoy sent by God.
Just last night, he returned to his estate as usual.
When he looked at the exquisite little silver box that Kobayashi Tenno had given him, his heart was filled with the arrogance and disdain unique to English aristocrats.
"This is nothing but an Eastern trick!"
He shook his head, thinking he should just have the butler throw it away.
But he couldn't help recall MacLehose's suggestive words: "It will change the rest of your life."
"Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of strange medicine a kid from an Eastern colony can come up with."
With a sliver of hope and a nine-tenths desire to "expose the scam," he took out a small blue pill and swallowed it.
Then……
The miracle happened so suddenly, within minutes.
He felt a long-lost heat, no, it was definitely a kind of violent magma, which suddenly surged up from the deepest part of his body!
My God!
It was a kind of vitality that he thought he would never experience again in his life, the kind of strong and robust physical energy that belonged to his twenties!
that's all!
Last night, his young wife, who was forty years younger than him and who usually only showed him polite respect, was suddenly carried into the large bedroom bed by him.
After a gasp...
The look in his wife's eyes changed instantly from initial perfunctory and indifferent to one of shock and madness...
Finally, with the help of two more small blue tablets, it is complete worship and submission!
"This...this is actually true...this tiny pill can actually help me regain my virility, and it's convenient and quick, anytime, anywhere, just take it. Could that Eastern boy really have developed such a pill? This is a miracle that only God could create!"
The Duke of Wellington reminisced about the events of the previous night, watching his contented wife sleeping soundly in bed. Although he was physically exhausted, he was deeply moved.
He suddenly grabbed the gold-painted telephone in the room and dialed the other noble councilors from yesterday.
The call was connected quickly...
From the other end came Sir Clive's excited, boastful voice:
"Wellington! Old friend! You...you tried that Eastern kid's miracle drug?! Haha! It's absolutely amazing! Oh! I'm talking about myself, I'm amazing!"
"Haha! Of course I tried! You have no idea, last night I was absolutely the most powerful man in all of England."
The Duke of Wellington said with immense pride.
"My God! Wellington! I think you're wrong. I'm the most powerful one, you can only be second!"
I...I feel like I can conquer the whole world! My poor Margaret almost thought I'd gone mad! That young man named Kobayashi Tenno...is he...is he the devil or a messenger sent by God? He's actually able to develop such miraculous drugs.
"No matter who he is!"
The Duke of Wellington said excitedly, “This medicine! We must find a way to get more! At all costs! I’m so addicted to this feeling. Although I have some weakness as a side effect now, we don’t have many years left to live, do we? Rather than facing a young wife and being treated without any manly dignity day and night, it’s better to go completely crazy for a few years!”
Besides, didn't MacLehose say yesterday that this miracle drug has no major side effects and is even helpful for the recovery of some cardiovascular diseases? It's practically a miracle drug made just for us!
“That’s right! Ashford just called me too, he’s practically going crazy! He said he’d even trade half of the valuable paintings in his estate for this damn prescription! Or… anything to supply him with this miracle drug for life…”
"We'll contact MacLehose right now and have him bring that Eastern kid over..."
The Duke of Wellington hesitated for a moment, then said, “No! Let’s go see Mr. Kobayashi Tenmoku ourselves! We must show our sincerity! We can’t be rude like yesterday! Let’s go! Now! Immediately!”
"Haha! Wellington, I know what Mr. Kobayashi wants. Isn't it just those few car factories in Leland that are about to go bankrupt? Compared to this miracle drug, what are those few run-down factories?"
