Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167 The Cunning. Trickster 

As Master Lincoln witnessed the unwavering support he received, a smug smile adorned his face. He regarded the troublemaking kid as someone incapable of grasping the gravity of the situation. Lincoln believed that even without taking any action himself, the crowd would vehemently insult and curse the kid until he was compelled to leave. 

Caught off guard by the strong aversion he elicited from the crowd, Alex had not anticipated such a strong negative reaction. Realizing that a direct confrontation with Master Lincoln was no longer a viable option, he acknowledged the need to adopt a different approach to navigate the situation. 

“I’m not doubting your abilities, Master Lincoln, but you mentioned earlier that there’s snapdragon in the medicine. I’m quite curious about it.” 

“I managed to get this herb at an auction, and the price of this single stalk of snapdragon reached a staggering one billion,” muttered Alex. 

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of everyone present were filled with astonishment. 

Just how precious can a single stalk be to be sold for a staggering one hundred million? This is simply jaw-dropping! Lincoln said that the pills were made with precious herbs, but I never expected them to be so valuable-to be worth a staggering hundred million for just one stalk. Selling them for just five thousand each is incredibly generous of him. 

At this moment, Lincoln cleared his throat and said, “I initially didn’t want to tell you the price of this precious medicinal herb because I didn’t want to stress you out about its cost; I just wanted to do some good deeds for the people in this village.” 

Upon hearing Lincoln’s words, a wave of guilt washed over everyone present. They had not realized that the Master had gone to such lengths to help them. 

“Master Lincoln, you’re our savior! Our family will forever be indebted to you!” 

“That’s right! Master Lincoln, you’re our savior! From this moment onward, we will wholeheartedly follow your every word without any hesitation.” 

With the flu having already claimed numerous lives, a pervasive sense of danger hung in the air. In the midst of this distress, the arrival of Master Lincoln felt akin to that of a savior to everyone present. 

Alex never expected that his single comment would lead to such a situation. These people’s blind worship of Master Lincoln had reached an absurd level. Can’t they think about how many snapdragon stalks are needed to make a thousand pills? Just one of them already costs a hundred million. 

The level of extravagant spending and utilization of funds displayed by Lincoln surpassed what even powerful priests, who had amassed significant wealth, could afford. 

“Master Lincoln, if you really made this using snapdragon, then it truly is a divine medicine! I have some knowledge about snapdragon, so may I buy one pill to take a closer look?” Alex said with a smile, but his gaze was incredibly piercing as he stared at Lincoln. 

Lincoln felt a bit uneasy under the intense gaze of Alex. He swallowed nervously and let out a dry chuckle before saying. “My young friend, I can see that you’re a cultivator of Mortal Force. This flu poses no threat. to you, so why not save these pills for those in need?” 

His words were delivered with utmost tact and precision, leaving no room for any discernible flaw. This old priest is a cunning man, Alex mused.
