Mrs. and Mr. Smith

46  Chapter 46: Regretful Alec Peterson_1

Upon hearing Stephen Hill's words, Gary Brown quickly nodded in agreement.

Before this, Gary had tried to partner with Ray Walters to get the agency rights for the Soul Nourishment Pill.

Unexpectedly, not only did Ray refuse, but he even had his men throw Gary out.

So, Gary angrily told Stephen Hill about this matter, hoping that Stephen would deal with Ray on his behalf.

"Exactly! What qualifications does Ray Walters even have to possess the Soul Nourishment Pill!" Gary Brown agreed again and again.

Stephen Hill snorted and said, "It seems we'll have to find the time to talk to this Ray Walters."

Hearing this, Gary's eyes spun, and he casually added, "Boss Hill, Ray Walters values the Soul Nourishment Pill more than his own life. I don't think he'd be willing to hand it over to you."

Stephen gave him a sidelong glance, sneered, and said, "He only has two options: hand over the Soul Nourishment Pill or die. Which do you think he'll choose?"

Upon hearing this, Gary was overjoyed, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Boss Hill, in return for giving you this information, could you grant me an agency right?" Gary rubbed his hands together and laughed.

"As long as you behave, that's naturally no problem," Stephen Hill replied indifferently.

Although the Hill family was large and powerful, their foundation was ultimately in Shiglance City.

Now that they were in River City, they indeed needed to feed a few dogs.

And Gary was the perfect candidate.

"Thank you, Boss Hill!" Overjoyed, Gary couldn't stop expressing his gratitude.

After Gary left, Stephen Hill made a phone call, preparing to look for Ray Walters.

On the other hand,

Ethan Smith was sitting in the courtyard of his villa, basking in the sun.

He was waiting.

Waiting for the Soul Nourishment Pill to sweep through River City.

"River City will soon change," said Ethan Smith, a smile playing on his lips.

...

At the Peterson Family.

With Ethan Smith's help, Alec Peterson had secured the Taylor family's project.

These days, Alec spent all his time wining and dining with government officials.

Today was no exception.

At the dinner, everyone was getting drunk.

At this point, River City's Mayor unexpectedly said, "Have you all heard? There's a new pill in River City called the Soul Nourishment Pill. Everyone is clamoring to buy it."

Alec Peterson laughed, "Mayor Lee, I've heard a little about it. What exactly is this Soul Nourishment Pill?"

Mayor Lee immediately exclaimed, "This Soul Nourishment Pill is truly a treasure! Eating just one can invigorate the body, and taking it regularly can prolong life!"

"Yes, now almost every influential person in River City has one in hand," others chimed in agreement.

"Ah, it's a pity there are so few of these pills. They're already gone."

"That Ray Walters, leveraging the Soul Nourishment Pill, has transformed himself from After saying that, Mayor Lee took out the Soul Nourishment Pill with a hint of pride, 15:54

"Take a look, but let me tell you, you can only sniff! If someone dares to eat it, don't a lowlife into a high-class businessman. I don't know how many companies are begging him for the agency rights," someone said.

Alec Peterson was also intrigued.

Even River City's Mayor was bragging about the Soul Nourishment Pill; it was definitely not a baseless rumor. Who knew how much wealth it would generate in the future?

If he could get a piece of the action, he might make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Alec tentatively asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who has a Soul Nourishment Pill? I'm willing to pay a high price for one!"

Hearing this, people rolled their eyes and said, "Alec, do you really think money can buy everything? Right now, countless people can't even buy one for one hundred and sixty thousand dollars!"

"Exactly, if someone really had one, why would they sell it to you?"

Hearing these words, Alec was even more shocked.

So the Soul Nourishment Pill was already this popular?

Just then, Mayor Lee mysteriously said, "Honestly, I have one left, but I need to save it for myself."

"Oh, Mayor Lee, I'll give you two hundred and sixty thousand dollars for it!" someone joked.

Mayor Lee rolled his eyes again, "Even if you offered five hundred thousand, I wouldn't sell!"

Having said that, he suddenly switched gears and laughed, "But...I can let you all take a sniff."

After saying that, Mayor Lee took out the Soul Nourishment Pill with a hint of pride, "Take a look, but let me tell you, you can only sniff! If someone dares to eat it, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Mayor Lee, don't worry," everyone said in unison.

Alec quickly got up and looked at the Soul Nourishment Pill.

But when he saw the appearance of the pill clearly, his expression suddenly changed!

"Mayor Lee, please let me take a closer look!" Alec said anxiously.

Without waiting for Mayor Lee's consent, Alec grabbed the Soul Nourishment Pill.

Looking at the pill in his hand, Alec's face grew even more somber.

Wasn't this the same kind of pill that Ethan Smith had shown him a few days ago? At the time, Ethan had even said that he wanted Alec to be the agent, but Alec had refused!
