?Chapter 78:


    As Balthasar lifted the lid of the box, a rich, medicinal aroma escaped, captivating everyone with the sight of the D Pill of MindEase Elixir inside. “Oh my goodness, is this truly the D Pill of MindEase Elixir crafted by Dr. Riss? It’s absolutely stunning and unique, and the scent is incredibly powerful.”


    “I’ve heard that there are only four of these pills in existence, making them exceedingly rare. It’s said that only the most exceptional individuals can obtain a MindEase Elixir. Others, no matter their wealth, won’t even catch a whiff of it.”


    “It’s a privilege to even see it today.”


    “Mr. Nash, how did youe by this remarkable pill?” The area buzzed with envious looks and remarks, swelling Balthasar with a sense of pride. He smiled, feigning a look of profound wisdom, and chose not to respond just yet. The other members of the Nash family also enjoyed the limelight, reliving the glorious days when Brian was still around and reveling in the honor


    A, the catalyst of this spectacle, basked in immense pride. Sansa, barely able to contain her excitement, rushed to exin, “This D Pill of MindEase Elixir was secured by A from Dr. Riss at a highly favorable price as a birthday gift for Balthasar.”


    “Oh my, Mr. Nash, you truly are blessed to have such a remarkable granddaughter.”


    “A, once you be Dr. Riss’s personal disciple, you’re destined to make significant strides in medicine and pharmacology. We hope you’ll remember us lesser medical families in the future.”


    Amid the shower of admiration, A floated on cloud nine yet managed to remember to mock Tiffany. While receiving des, she nced over at Marissa and humbly remarked, “Thank you all for the praises, but Tiffany is even more impressive. She presented our grandfather with an A Pill of MindEase Elixir for his birthday.”


    This revtion initially shocked the crowd, who then turned their attention to Marissa, dressed simply and swiftly dismissed her. Everyone was aware that Tiffany was too impoverished to afford such luxuries. Where would she find the funds for an A Pill of MindEase Elixir? Even if she had the means, how could someone deemed a failure procure such a rare item?


    They dismissed the notion that Connor might have assisted her. If he had such connections, he would surely have used them for Arabe, not giving the world’s sole A Pill of MindEase Elixir to Balthasar. It seemed clear to them that Tiffany had offered a counterfeit pill at the birthday celebration merely to maintain appearances


    A stirrer in the crowd, eager to fan the mes, inquired, “Mr. Nash, do you really possess an A Pill of MindEase Elixir as well? Might we see it?”


    A chuckled. “I’m sorry to disappoint. At the birthday banquet, Tiffany angered my grandfather so terribly that he threw the pill away.”


    “Threw the pill away?” The area erupted withughter, their suspicions seemingly confirmed. Who would discard such a priceless pill? It seemed obvious to them that Balthasar realized it was counterfeit and disposed of it in anger. This incident only made Tiffany appear more ridiculous


    The atmosphere thickened with tension. Although the crowd held back from outright mocking Marissa due to Arabe’s presence, their disdainful nces spoke volumes. Sansa and A, basking in their anticipated victory, wore smug smiles, eager to see Marissa break down. Yet, they faced disappointment. Marissa shot them a disdainful look, as if they were mere jesters, and turned away, herposure unshaken


    At that moment, Dr. Riss’s top assistant, Ferris, arrived. The crowd’s focus instantly shifted to him. They encircled him, peppering him with inquiries


    “Dr. Frazier, is Dr. Riss here?”
