52 If you want to make a bet, you have to make sure that you will always win!
When the old men casually asked about how the color of that elixir was really weird, the volunteer didn't know if he want to drink it anymore or not. But, when George explained about the existence of western medicine called potions.. He immediately believed George, as he think that George's explanation seems legit. He drunk the potion of regeneration without hesitation.
After drinking the potions, the volunteer suddenly felt an itchy feelings from the place that his hands were severed. As time goes on, the itchy feelings became stronger.
"ARGH! It's so itchy!" All of them was really convinced by George's explanations, but when they heard his scream, the doubts came back.
George nodded "It's the effect of the potions! Bear with it! Oh, and you can't scratch it too!"
Every one looked at the man who looked like he was in pain, but actually was just struggling with the extreme itchiness, not just from his severed hands, but all kind of scars that he had.
Slowly, a new flesh grew from his severed hands and it slowly formed into the shape of a normal hand. All of them narrowed their eyes in shock "H.. how is that thing is possible?"
George smiled "The western medicine is totally different from here, so.. there's all kind of things that they can do, while we can't.. and of course the opposites is also true."
All of them completely convinced by it. Even the rich kids that knows Jun Jingyi and Lin An was convinced. But, they were exasperated by that. Many of them lost the bet and lost a quite sum of spirit stones. Because of that, they couldn't buy a lot of potions. This thing would probably gone viral and became hard to buy in the future.
Only a few of their friends won the bet and was astonished by that. They placed the bet, only for making a good connection with Jun's family and Lin's family young master. They didn't think that they get so much profits with this bet. Not only their impression on Jun's family or Lin's family young master / young mistress were increased, they got a considerable amount of spirit stones to buy Geoge's potions.
Jin Jingyi and Lin An were simply wanted to make a good impression to George. They think that it was a good person to be boot licked, as those kind of potions were never heard before. And it was totally worth it to befriend such person.
George smiled at his flabbergasted grandchild. "Uhh.. so, how is it? My grandchild?"
All of them once again was speechless by George, but they can't say anything about that. As it was their own bet.
With a twitching mouth, Zhang Fu replied "Grandfather!"
George nodded in satisfaction. "What is it? My grandchild?"
Zhang Fu only said "Nothing.. I'm just casually calling you."
"Oh! I see.."
"Eh, but actually.. i want to know more about potions! Could you ahem.. grandfather tell me about it?"
George nodded while stroking his non existent beard in his chin. "Well.. in the western part of this world, the people who can creates potions were called witches, warlocks, or wizards. And i only will say that! Thank you.."
All of them was interested on the story of the another part of their world. Seeing George didn't want so say anything, they were disappointed. "Well.. at least you could tell us where to study about them! Or maybe where do you study in there?!"
George knew that he kinda f*cked up, so he fabricated another lie and told them. "Ahem! To be honest, i was sent a letter from the famous witchcraft academy called Hogwarts. They sent it mysteriously with an owl."
"Wh- what? An Owl? that creepy bird who can twists their heads and stared at you in the darkness?"
George nodded. "Not only that, there's a burly man with a big beard coming to my house and said "Yer a wizard, George!" And he brings me to Hogwarts. Oh! by the way my western name is George. You can also call me George Potter!"
"Stop joking around! There's no way that an owl could do that!"
George laughed at that comment. "I didn't ask you guys to believe me anyways.. If you want to, it's okay. But, if you don't, it's okay too!"
If people from earth heard about George bullshitting and changed the story of Harry Potter, especially from the harry potter fandom.. We don't know what would happen.
All of them narrowed their eyes in awe. "Where do i get the letter?"
George sneered at them "Only fate could know. In the hogwarts, the majority of the students are the peoples from the western part of this world. My case were a special one, so for the probability of you guys to get one is basically null! Okay.. stop talking about Hogwarts! I want to continue my business!"
When they heard that, they felt disappointed and scattered around.
George smiled and said to Su Ling. "This is your first lesson.. If you want to make a bet, you have to make sure that you will always win!"
Su Ling asked "Isn't the first one is about making vow?"
George laughed awkwardly. "Then it's the second one! Don't forget to tell your fellow disciple!"
"But, the second one is about brushing teeth isn't it?"
George rolled his eyes. "Whatever.. this is another lesson for you! All the things i do is always right, even if it's wrong, it's always right! If you dared to say that i'm wrong... hehe"
Su Ling realized that her master were annoyed because of her comments and immediately shut up.
George smiled and said to the bunch of rich kids in his shop "So.. let's continue!"
Surprisingly, Zhang Fu also came inside and wanted to see all kind of potions that George was selling. He was too amazed by it so much, that even he forget about how George humiliated him.
Usually, if people does that to him, he will report it to his backing and killed the one who offended him. Because he was a four star alchemist, he knew many people and a majority of them had his favor. He could use that favor to kill anyone who offended him.
Well.. as an alchemist who likes to experiment with a lot of thing, he is definetly interested in that kind of foreign and weird medicines.
