?Chapter 31:


    “Grandpa, it’s your seventieth birthday today. Let’s not dwell on the mistakes of those worthless servants. Come and see the gift I’ve prepared for you,” A said, offering a gift box to Balthasar with enthusiasm


    The Longevity Soup incident had backfired on her and her mother, and to avoid further scrutiny and potential me, she was eager to move past it. “Grandpa, the gift I’ve prepared for you with great care is even more beneficial than the Longevity Soup. You’re going to love it!”


    Balthasar, still troubled by the soup incident, perked up at the mention of a gift that could be more beneficial and took the box. “A, what could possibly be better than the Longevity Soup?”


    “Just open it, Grandpa, and see for yourself.”


    “Alright, let’s see what this is.”

    Balthasar opened the box, his eyes widening in both shock and pleasure. He was astounded. “This, this… A, is this a MindEase Elixir created by Riss, the D Pill?”


    “Yes, Grandpa,” A replied, beaming with pride. “Grandpa, it cost a fortune and required a lot of effort to acquire. But for your health, longevity, happiness, and joy, it’s worth it.”


    The Nash family members gathered around, eager to glimpse what was in Balthasar’s hands, their eyes filled with wonder. “Oh my, is that really Riss’ MindEase Elixir? Let us see it!”


    The MindEase Elixir, derived from an ancient medical recipe, was known for its incredible effects on calming the mind, nourishing the brain, and extending life. The recipe and method had been lost for centuries, but three years ago, Dr. Riss appeared out of nowhere. This doctor not only performed medical miracles in surgeries, earning the title of top surgeon, but also sessfully produced a batch of MindEase Elixirs. This batch contained four pills, named A, B, C, and D based on their qualities, with A being the highest quality and D the lowest quality. Even the lowest-quality D Pill was considered more valuable than many other medicines and was literally worth its weight in gold. Though rumors had circted that Riss produced four such pills, their exact locations remained a mystery. They were beyond price, unavable for purchase at any cost


    Balthasar had only dreamed of owning such a pill, and now A had actually secured one for him! His mood instantly lifted, and his face lit up with happiness. With Riss’ MindEase Elixir in hand, who needed Longevity Soup? This one pill was worth more than a thousand bowls of Longevity Soup!


    Balthasarughed heartily, holding the pill as if it were a precious relic. The Nash family was full of admiration. “Wow, to see one of Riss’ MindEase Elixirs in my lifetime, I can die happy now.” “Such a miraculous medicine, even a small bit brewed in water would be heavenly. Sir, you are truly fortunate!” “A has really outdone herself, securing such a miraculous pill. Come on, A, how did you manage it?”


    A found herself the focus of everyone’s attention, and her parents, Rex and Sansa, beamed with immense pride at their aplished daughter. Though swelling with pride, A tried to appear modest. “It took some effort and a bit of luck. I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Riss and earn Dr. Riss’ trust, which allowed me to purchase this D Pill.”


    “What?” The Nash family was even more astounded. “A, you know Dr. Riss?”


    “Oh my God, did I hear that correctly? The mysterious Dr. Riss, whose gender is even unknown to the outside world, is actually known to A?”


    “A, please tell me, is Dr. Riss a man or a woman? Old or young? How did youe to meet?”


    A felt a pang of guilt. She didn’t know why she imed to know Riss, but having made such a bold statement, she could only keep up the pretense. “Ahem!” She cleared her throat nervously and added, “Dr. Riss is a very charming man in his thirties.”


    “Really?” Marissa interrupted with a smirk. “But I heard Dr. Riss is actually a young woman in her twenties, quite stunning actually.”
