Hearing this, Owen immediately snatched the vial of Spirit of Life Serum and began examining it carefully from every angle.
"Beautiful, absolutely stunning. Just from the appearance alone, it's completely identical to the original Spirit of Life Serum," he said with awe in his voice.
He then twisted off the cap, and a unique, exotic fragrance wafted out. He took a deep breath, his face lighting up with a look of satisfaction.
"This is it. This is the scent. Mr. Lamb, this is the real Spirit of Life Serum. Now, all that's left is to test its effects, and then we can truly celebrate this success."
Owen turned to one of his subordinates standing nearby and ordered, "You, come over here and drink it."
The subordinate froze for a moment before saying hesitantly, "Mr. Norberg, are you sure you want me to drink such a precious item?"
Owen burst into laughter. "It's true, this is an incredibly precious item. But soon, treasures like this will be mine in endless supply. Now, drink!"
The subordinate said no more and immediately drank the entire vial of Spirit of Life Serum in one gulp.
Owen and Tyson stared at him intently, their expressions tense as Owen asked, "How do you feel?"
The subordinate closed his eyes, a look of comfort spreading across his face. "It feels amazing," he replied. "My entire body feels warm, like there's a current of heat flowing through me. Even the old injuries I've had for years feel significantly better. Mr. Norberg, this... This indeed is a treasure."
Hearing his subordinate's response, Owen had no doubts left. He burst into hearty laughter and gave Tyson a firm pat on the shoulder.
