Chapter 51
Andrew calmly brought out the remaining Divine Elixir, and Gerald’s breathing quickened with excitement.
He fought the urge to snatch the bottle from Andrew, exclaiming, “Oh my, there’s still at least 250ml here! This would fetch nearly a million dollars on the market. You’re quite generous!”
“Uncle Gerald, is this cheap wine really as amazing as you’re claiming?” Leroy asked skeptically.
Gerald glared at him and scolded, “Foolish boy, don’t speak about things you don’t understand! The Divine Elixir is made from hundreds of rare medicinal herbs, fermented for seven days and nights in a private distillery. That’s just the first step. It then needs to age in a cellar for at least 30 years before it can be opened. This particular bottle appears to be aged 80 years, so calling it liquid gold is an understatement!” ”
Douglas laughed heartily and said, “I knew Andy wouldn’t bring me anything but the best!” The Stevens family members stared greedily at Andrew’s wine.
“What an incredible wine–I must try it!”
“Pour me a glass too!”

“Stop fighting! There should be enough for everyone!”
Gerald glanced dismissively at Harvey’s bottles and commented, “Nothing reveals quality like comparison. These mainstream brands are exactly what Leroy called them earlier–‘garbage‘, compared to the Divine Elixir.”
Harvey’s face darkened as he clenched his fists under the table. Being outdone by Andrew, a man he saw as a nobody, was infuriating.
“Andrew, if this wine was so valuable, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Christina asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.
Andrew replied calmly, “I did tell you, but none of you would listen.”
Irene could not stand watching Andrew getting attention and muttered, “Big deal, it’s just a bottle of wine.”
Then, she glanced at Harvey and said, “Harvey, darling, didn’t you bring that special gift? Show everyone!”
“Harvey, you brought Grandpa another gift?” Christina asked in surprise.
Harvey modestly revealed an elegant box containing a marble–sized pill and explained, “It’s nothing much–just a medicinal pill from Mistveil Peak that should benefit Mr. Stevens Senior’s health.”

The entire Stevens family was abuzz with amazement as they looked at Harvey with newfound admiration.
“I heard Medicinal pills from Mistveil Peak are exclusively for government officials and elite families in Chetvine! Most people couldn’t get one even if they had the money!”
“Only the Grandmaster can make these pills, and they’re said to have miraculous healing powers!”
“Even in Jayrodale, only the legendary Dr. Cedric Aicker got one after begging for three days straight. Your connections must be incredible, M. Weller!”
Irene was beaming with pride as she said, “Only our Harvey could obtain such a treasure. Compared to this, that Divine Elixir is absolutely garbage!”
