chapter 8 Baicaotang

Hyperion kneeled on one knee, holding a bouquet of Blue Enchantress Rose in his hands. He looked at Ora with affection and said, "Ora, from the moment I saw you, I knew I was completely smitten.
My heart is filled with you, and besides you, I won't look at any other woman. Will you be my girlfriend?"
After he finished speaking, the crowd around them started shouting, "Be together…be together…be together…"
Seeing this guy being so persistent, Ora turned to Maximilian for help.
Maximilian couldn't help but laugh, he said mockingly, "You're such a good actor, it's a waste if you're not in the film industry."
Hyperion looked disgruntled and shouted, "What are you talking about? My feelings for Ora are genuine and can be proven by the sun and the moon. If I say anything false, may lightning strike me down!"
"Really? Let's see how genuine your feelings are."
As Maximilian spoke, he swiftly reached into Hyperion's suit and pulled out a white piece of clothing - it was a woman's intimate underwear, and quite a provocative one at that, almost transparent.
Holding the item, Maximilian said with a smirk, "Mr. Clinton, would you care to explain? Is this your 'genuine feelings'?
If you're focused solely on Ora and haven't looked at any other woman for half a year, where did this come from? Don't tell me you wear it yourself?"
"I…"
Hyperion was taken aback. It wasn't that he hadn't been with a woman in half a year, but that he couldn't be without a woman every day. He also had a peculiar habit of keeping a pair of underwear as a souvenir every time he slept with a woman.
This particular pair was from the previous night and he hadn't had the chance to dispose of it yet.
However, this was a thong and it was lacy, smaller than a regular handkerchief. It was impossible to detect when tucked into his pocket. How did this young man find out?
Seeing this, the crowd around them started to stir.
"Goodness, we were almost fooled by this scumbag. He was declaring his love for someone while having another woman's belongings in his pocket. How ridiculous…"
"He's shameless. He's got that in his pocket and yet he spoke so righteously. How thick is his skin…"
"Didn't he say he would be struck by lightning? Such a person should be struck to death by God…"
Hyperion licked his dry lips and quickly thought of an excuse, "Ora, don't misunderstand. A friend of mine borrowed my suit for a date yesterday.
The thing in my pocket must have been brought back by him. It has nothing to do with me."
"What about this? Does this have anything to do with you?"
Maximilian casually discarded the underwear, then swiftly reached into Hyperion's pocket and pulled out a pink item.
His speed was so fast that Hyperion could not react.
"Mr. Clinton, this is called a condom, right? Where did this come from? Did you lend your pants to your friend too?"
"I…"
Hyperion was extremely embarrassed. Since he dated women every day, condoms were a must-have item that he carried all the time.
However, he was also very puzzled. The condom was smaller than the underwear just now, so how did this young man know about it? Did he have x-ray vision?
"Ora, please don't misunderstand. I don't know where this came from. It might have been a prank by my friend. I really don't know anything."
At this point, Hyperion could only deny everything, otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Really? Then what's this?"
Maximilian reached out and pulled out two small white pills from his other pocket.
"Mr. Clinton, if I'm not mistaken, these are the so-called 'morning-after pills', right? Your gear is quite complete. Are you saying this is also a prank your friend did to you?"
Ora, seeing all this, said with a disgusted look, "Hyperion, just go. I don't want to see you anymore!"
Seeing his carefully planned proposal ruined, Hyperion was so angry and embarrassed that he shouted, "Bastard, I'll kill you!"
At this point, he no longer cared about his image and swung his fist at Maximilian's face.
Unfortunately for him, his body, ravaged by alcohol and sex, was no match for Maximilian. He was kicked in the stomach and flew out, landing on the 999 roses.
"Ah…"
Hyperion let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Although the fall wasn't heavy, the roses all had thorns. When he struggled to get up, his body was full of thorns from the roses.
"Kid, dare to compete with me for a woman, you wait for me."
Hyperion issued a threat and wanted to run away, but after only a few steps, the manhole cover under his feet flipped, and with a splash, he fell in.
Now he was completely embarrassed. When he climbed out of the manhole again, he was covered in garbage and stank.
His men, who were arranged in the crowd, hurriedly ran over and helped him leave.
Seeing Mr. Clinton, who was just arrogant, now looking so embarrassed, people laughed heartily.
"Young man, well done, I admire you…"
"Young lady, good choice, this young man you chose is not bad…"
The onlookers praised Maximilian.
Everyone was usually annoyed by the behavior of these rich young masters, but they were powerless. The young man just now really vented their anger for them.
Ora took Maximilian to the side and said with bright eyes, "How did you do that?"
His performance just now was beyond her expectations, so amazing that he crushed the Clinton family's eldest son.
After today's events, she estimated that Hyperion would no longer have the face to pursue her.
Maximilian laughed, "Didn't you see it all?"
Ora blushed and said, "I mean, how did you know that Hyperion had those things in his pocket?"
Of course, Maximilian wouldn't tell her about his divine sense, he said, "I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I could tell that this guy has a severe kidney deficiency. I just guessed."
Ora didn't ask about this matter any further, she said, "Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to dinner after work."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the Lacie Group's office building. After all the commotion, she was about to be late for work.
Maximilian also left there and arrived at the largest Chinese medicine clinic in River South City - Herbs Hall - a moment later.
Herbs Hall was decorated in an antique style, it looked ancient and magnificent.
A couplet was hung at the entrance, the upper line read "Cultivate in solitude, unseen by anyone", and the lower line read "Preserve a kind heart, known by the heavens".
Maximilian stepped in and looked around. The pharmacy was on the left and the Chinese medicine clinic was on the right.
Since the shop had just opened, there weren't many customers in the pharmacy, and they hadn't reached the step of grabbing medicine yet. There was only one pharmacy assistant playing with his phone behind the counter.
Seeing Maximilian enter, he just glanced at him and didn't say anything, then continued playing with his phone.
Maximilian walked up to the counter and said, "I'm here to get some medicine."
The assistant didn't even lift his head and said, "Wait a moment, can't you see I'm busy?"
Maximilian was speechless, playing games also counts as being busy? This is the so-called 'big store bullying customers'!
He wanted to turn around and leave, but the ingredients he needed to refine the Foundation Pill were many, and some were quite rare, which smaller pharmacy stores didn't have.
