In front of everyone, the red-robed man motioned to the attendant to forcibly pry open the old man's mouth and then poured the potion into the wine glass, looking at the old man approaching his medicine bottle, the old man's eyes were full of fear of death, but there was also a hint of relief from this cruel world. From the moment he was born, he lived in such a painful way as a slave for such a long time, perhaps it is more liberating than continuing to live in pain.

The red-robed man looked at the old man's expression and sneered, "You should feel honored, your pathetic life will continue for some time again." ”

After speaking, at the moment when the old man showed a puzzled expression, the man poured all the potions in the wine glass into the old man's mouth, and at this time, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the old man. Only Lelouch's only focus was the bottle of potion in the red-robed man's hand.

According to the information provided by the Lord of the Yin Stream, the potion should be blue, and it needs to be added to the blood of the blood clan itself, and even the blood of humans must be added to work in order to work, but now that Lelouch has not seen this ritual scene, when the other party just took out this bottle of potion, it was a little red, and it seemed that it had already been prepared.

It seemed that the other party obviously felt that it was not appropriate to show the bloody ceremony in front of his first-time guests.

"Oh~Oh┉┉┉cough┉┉cough┉┉"

The old man's throat coughed a few times, and then the old man struggled like a fish thrown ashore, and under the concerned gaze of everyone, the old man's wrinkled and dull skin began to radiate again, the atrophied muscles were slowly regrowing, the originally dim eyes began to gradually brighten, and the gray and messy hair began to slowly turn black from the roots of the hair. Although he was still thin, one thing was undoubted, the old man who originally looked sixty or seventy years old seemed to be about twenty years younger in an instant.

The participants who were watching couldn't suppress their whispers, as they seemed to see themselves in the old man. If you can be twenty years younger like this┉┉ Even those who hesitated before were shaken again, after all, life is priceless, and more money may not buy life, but as long as you are alive, even if you lose some money, you can earn it back with your own hands.

Both Lelouch and Buyani can clearly perceive that the aura of the old man who has become young like a miracle is still aging, just like the skin on the surface of freedom has become younger, if this is the case, then Lelouxiu is indeed not in the mood to participate in this ceremony, but it is okay to say that it is okay for the blood clan to maintain normal cooperation on the surface, after all, the food club is also a good social occasion.

Returning to the stage, the red-robed man opened his hands and announced: "Everyone~ Seeing is believing, maybe you still have doubts." You may think it's just a trick, but when you really accept it, you will find out that it's all true, and now it's all that remains for you to believe it or not. ”

Some of the guests who participated in the ceremony were indeed tempted to announce their participation, but there were still some cautious guests who were afraid of something, because they wanted the promised 'endless life' rather than the short extra twenty years, which were still tempting but were two different things compared to the 'endless'.

The red-robed man also took the trouble to answer everyone's questions, according to him, this potion can only extend a part of the life of human beings, and if you want to live forever, you need to drink the potion when your life is approaching. In other words, as long as you keep taking this medicine, you can live forever.

This is a blatant sell-off, but it is a great temptation for the old people who are dying and the people who are no longer young. Even if there is a pit in front of them, they will jump down and seize the opportunity at all costs.

Soon more than half of the people expressed their willingness to join in the ceremony, and a small number of people hesitated because they still needed to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the cooperation plan, of course, these people were not very old, but they also wavered in their hearts, and it was obvious that even those who were only about thirty years old were eager to return to their peak physical age at the age of eighteen.

The red-robed man was very satisfied with the results of today's newcomer ceremony, the addition of so many merchants and nobles would further strengthen the strength of the club and even the clan.

It's just that the attitude of one of the guests present made the man a little suspicious┉┉

That was Lu Luxiu, the merchant who now supplied the clan with important medicinal herbs. Compared to the other participants, the red-robed man, who is the club's 'store manager', values this young man very much, the young man named Lelouch has the financial resources and ability, although the force behind him is still a mystery and full of unknown possibilities, but relatively speaking, it is both a danger and an opportunity. What's more, he's still very young, still a teenager of sixteen or seventeen, and his age shows that he will be a very potential talent.

However, it is precisely because of age. Lelouch was not anxious for the endless life, but even so, the store manager felt that even if he could not tie Lelouch to the interests of the clan for the time being, he should continue to maintain a close cooperative relationship with him, especially the medicinal materials he provided, and the relationship with him must not be broken until the source is found and a substitute can be found.

Many people have signed the agreement, but Lelouch and a few others have not yet indicated their intentions. But the 'store manager' is not in a hurry, and in the past persuasion rituals, not all agreements will be signed, and some people will even have to wait for ten years to make up their minds, anyway, human beings have a short lifespan, and anyone will succumb to the threat of death when they come to the end.

Lelouch noted that the text of the agreement between the gourmet club and the participants of the ceremony was a specially prepared agreement approved by the Free City Trade Council, and that every clause and content written on it, once signed by both parties and approved by the council, had a mandatory effect, and both parties had to implement the terms and conditions thoroughly and must not be violated under any pretext, and any party who violated the terms would be severely punished for fraud. Even if the signatories leave Free City, their identity and Chamber of Commerce will be blacklisted, and no merchant in Free City will be allowed to cooperate with anyone who violates the agreement.

The text of this agreement, drawn up by the Free City Commerce Council, means that the three big merchants who are the Big Three in the Free City, Lawrence, Philipus, and Yunogia, do not have any immunity.

Because of the value of this document itself, ordinary businessmen usually do not sign this kind of text for commercial negotiations, and only use it for large-scale transactions. For example, Lelouch's previous potion cooperation agreement with the Westphalian family had been signed in this form at Alisa's suggestion. Of course, the commercial and trade council will not understand the content of the signing between the two parties, and the main thing they review is to ensure that the agreement is voluntarily signed after being approved by both parties, so as to avoid someone pretending to sign or being signed voluntarily.

Shortly after the ritual participants signed the agreement, Isabella and several Blood Clan attendants walked out with another group of ritual participants, as if the ritual on that side had ended. When she saw Lelouch who was still sitting in her seat, Isabella quietly walked over to the store manager to learn about the situation, and then the female blood clan cast a strange look at Lelouxiu's position.

For this gaze, Lelouch did not care.

As everyone slowly got up and prepared to leave the dark underground, Isabella quietly gave Ophelia a look and signaled Lelouch to let him go last, and when the last guest got up and left under the guidance of the attendant, Isabella came over with a charming smile like a blooming rose.

"What's the matter, Miss Isabella, is there anything else that left me behind?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Luxiu no longer concealed it and spoke directly, but deliberately with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

Isabella smiled gently: "Please don't worry about Your Excellency Lelouch, we don't have any ill intentions. ”

Both Isabella and the club's manager could understand Lelouche's vigilant attitude, after all, it was normal for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to suddenly participate in a mysterious ceremony, and to be left alone after all the guests had left, and to feel a little scared and alert.

Of course, neither of them took into account one thing, Lelouch's so-called vigilance was purely acting, including Miss Buyani, who was next to her who involuntarily hugged her brother's arm because she was 'afraid'.

Isabella stretched out her hand again and gestured to the red-robed man: "By the way, this is Mr. Borisador, the manager of this food club." ”

Borisadol took off his mask and revealed his appearance, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slightly thin jaw, and he looked like the kind of person who was very insightful but had an extremely serious personality, but a pair of red eyes revealed a dangerous aura like a hyena.

"It's a great honor to meet you~ Mr. Borisador. ”

"Your Excellency, it is an honour for me to have such a young and talented young man as you in this club. ”

Both sides exchanged a few polite words and got to know each other, and then Borisador took over from Isabella to get down to business.

"May I ask Your Excellency Lelouch, are you satisfied with this agreement?"

Lelouch couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, as a businessman, I can't reply to you right now, I need some time to carefully study the agreement and think about it." ”

Borisador nodded and looked directly at Lelouch and said, "I can understand your feelings, after all, you are still very young and have a long life, and you are not as desperate as some other guests to continue your life. (To be continued......)
