106: Chapter 106 The Most Memorable Scene

...

How dare he compare himself to God?

But as a devout Christian, Noah did not argue with Lin Fang. He was the meat on the chopping block, and as a man who had lived for over a hundred years, he understood the importance of judging the situation better than anyone.

By the window, Lin Fang suddenly asked,

"That Doctor Borri said you only have a month left to live?"

Noah: ...

When had his family been so thoroughly infiltrated that even his most private medical information was known to the other party?

Taking a deep breath, Noah spoke,

"Sir, regardless of what you say or do, your plans will come to naught. The Sackler Family has its dignity, and I will not bow."

"What God cannot do, no man can."

"Because God does not exist. Science is the means to achieve one's goals; you should understand this, Noah."

Lin Fang countered him, pulling a test tube from his person. Inside were a dozen blue capsules, each about the size of a baby's finger. The crystalline oily substance and granules inside flowed slowly, resembling the colors of the ocean—it was exquisite.

Opening the tube, Lin Fang poured out one capsule and held it between his fingers.

"To that end, someone made an attempt, and this is the result."

Noah's eyelid twitched. He wanted to scoff, but his gaze could not pull away from the capsule. "What is this?"

Lin Fang didn't speak in riddles, instead offering a slight smile.

"This is our company's latest research product, the pinnacle of biotechnology: the 'Immortality' series gene capsules. It can reorganize human telomerase, repair cellular damage, and reverse the aging process."

"Just this tiny capsule can give you another two years of life."

Looking at the suspicious Noah, Lin Fang remained patient. These so-called Immortality Capsules were actually Gene Optimization Agents brought from the Hive Base, modified and diluted by Mite. Although the effect was far inferior to the original, for an ordinary person, it was a miracle sufficient to overturn their understanding of reality.

And even those at the top of the pyramid were still just ordinary people.

Changing the name was simply to make it sound more intimidating.

Noah withdrew his gaze. "I don't believe it. No one possesses such technology..."

"Heh, your pupils are dilating."

Just as the words left Noah's mouth, Lin Fang interrupted him. "Not only that, your breathing has become more rapid than before. This is a sign of excitement and tension. Mr. Noah, your body is much more honest than your mouth. Let me guess—you're tempted?"

It was like the whisper of a demon.

Noah's heart skipped a beat. It was true; he was tempted. It was simple logic: if the effect of this capsule were fake, Lin Fang wouldn't have gone to such trouble to explain it to him; taking his life would have been as easy as snapping his fingers.

Therefore, this was real...

Noah's throat bobbed slightly.

Lin Fang continued, "This capsule can not only extend your life, but continued use can restore your youth. Your joints will no longer ache, your vision will no longer be blurry, and you could even... find a few more partners."

"Let me try it," the old man said, his voice raspy.

The corners of Lin Fang's mouth curled up. He snapped his fingers behind him, and an H.D.S. soldier immediately handed over a glass of water.

—

Half an hour later,

"Ugh...!" Noah suddenly clutched his chest, his withered fingers tightly gripping his lapel as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

Noah's breathing grew increasingly rapid. He felt the blood beneath his skin boiling and his bones vibrating slightly, as if something was being reshaped within him. It was painful, but accompanied by a strange sense of... New Life.

"Don't be nervous," Lin Fang said calmly. "It's just a brief discomfort caused by cellular reorganization."

This body was too old, so the reaction was a bit intense.

Finally, the sharp pain gradually faded. Noah panted heavily and slowly raised his head; his gaze had completely changed.

It was no longer the despair of a dying old man, but... greed!

Noah slumped in his wheelchair, his chest heaving, yet he found that his breathing had never been so smooth. The lung pain that had felt like knife cuts was gone, replaced by a long-lost, abundant flow of oxygen. He was shocked to find the joint pain that had plagued him for years was receding, as if someone had injected lubricant into rusted bearings. Experimentally moving his fingers, the stiff motions had become much more fluid.

Noah felt a new surge of vitality in his body!

Clap—

The old man struggled out of his wheelchair and crawled to Lin Fang's feet, pleading, "Sir, give me another one. Give me another one!"

Noah had waited too long. His body was screaming for more; he couldn't wait, he wanted it now!

Elias, tied to the pillar, watched with terror in his eyes. The boy couldn't hear what was happening over there, but his great-grandfather was now like a puppy wagging its tail for pity, groveling at the feet of that Eastern youth.

This scene would be etched into the deepest part of his memory.

Lin Fang looked down at the trembling old man at his feet, his smile deepening. "See, it's that simple. As long as you become my slave, you will receive more Immortality Capsules and keep living, just like the name of this capsule suggests."

Noah fell completely silent, a look of struggle flashing across his face.

What was more painful than darkness was that he had already seen the light.

"In your view, is there anything more important than your own survival?"

Lin Fang squatted down, his voice low. "Think about it. Your family, your wealth, your power... without you, what will become of them? Are you willing to let go?"

"It is time to make a choice. Be the master of the Sackler Family in name, or be a corpse."

As Lin Fang spoke, the struggle on Noah's face vanished bit by bit, replaced by an increasingly burning desire in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Noah finally lowered his proud head and kissed the black boot at Lin Fang's foot.

"I... am willing to be your slave."

—

When the man tried to take a second lick, Lin Fang finally couldn't help but pull his foot away. What kind of fetish was this?

"Thank you for your gift, Sir."

Noah took another Immortality Capsule. His complexion became visibly ruddier; unlike before, he was now standing up.

Though he had to rely on a cane for support, he was indeed standing.

Indeed, Lin Fang had used incredible means to cure Noah's spinal nerve necrosis. Noah only remembered him pressing a hand against his back, and then he felt a long-lost sensation in his lower body.

At that moment, Noah almost burst into tears. The look he gave Lin Fang no longer held any resistance; perhaps having such an unfathomable master was a blessing for the Sackler Family.
