Chapter 922: It was well-known that Balthasar had a deep concern for his own lifespan. His wish to live for many more years was undeniably powerful, and in the past, his frustration over the loss of a bowl of Longevity Soup proved just how much it mattered to him.
Naturally, he coveted the MindEase Elixirs, a rare and invaluable substance said to prolong life-something he always craved more of.
However, there was a grim condition tied to acquiring them. His third son wouldn't make a full recovery, implying Balthasar's extra years would cat the expense of part of his life.
All eyes were on Balthasar as they waited to see what he would decide.
He glanced at the elixirs and then at his weak, fatigued son, Sergio. After an intense inner struggle, he let out a heavy sigh.

Serwas touched and quietly said, "Dad, as long as you're well, it doesn't matter if I end up in a wheelchair. Please take half of the MindEase Elixirs." "Don't talk nonsense!" Balthasar snapped.
"You're in your 40s and the head of the family. How can you say such things?" Seropened his mouth to continue, but Balthasar quickly silenced him.
"Speak like that again, and I'll set you straight." Serwisely said no more.
Marissa smiled as she pulled out another box from the medicine kit, revealing it to be full of MindEase Elixirs. "My goodness! There's another box?" "These look just like the previous ones-They must be real." "Oh my! How did Tiffany get so many MindEase Elixirs?" Balthasar's eyes lit up as he focused on the new box.
"Tiffany, you've got another box?" "As I mentioned before, I can get as many MindEase Elixirs as I want," Marissa said with a chuckle, offering the box to him.
"This is for you, Grandpa." "For me?" Balthasar was stunned, gazing at Marissa in surprise.
"Yes, Grandpa," she replied with a smile, handing the box to him.
"This is my gift to you. There's no need for you to feel conflicted. You and Uncle Serare equally important to me." Balthasar laughed awkwardly and stared at the elixirs in disbelief. He had never imagined he'd be holding so many of them.
Overwhelmed with excitement, he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha! With all these elixirs, I'll easily live to a hundred!" Marissa laughed along.
"More than a hundred, Grandpa! You might make it to two hundred." "Then I'll be a legend!" Balthasar beamed.

"Yes, Uncle." The man hesitated, his face flushing.
"Would it be possible forto have one?" "Of course," Marissa replied without hesitation. The man was ecstatic to hear this, hardly able to believe she agreed so easily. It felt unreal.
