Chapter 10 To Beg In Person
Back in the Cloud Palace, Nathan was enjoying his lunch together with Penny and her family, soaking in some wonderful, quality family time.
Suddenly, the Benson's phone let out a loud shrill.
He could not believe his eyes when he saw the number on the screen, “Wait, it's Samuel calling. Why would he call me all of a sudden?”
“My instincts tell me he must have called for the pill,” Nathan stressed out, with an indiscernible curl of his lips.
With that being said, he laid out the pill on the table. The pill had been sealed up to preserve its freshness and effect.
It had dawned upon Benson and his family that Nathan had seen this coming when he had said that it would be a matter of time for Samuel and his men to come begging for the pill.
With a smidgen of skepticism in his eye, Benson put the call on speaker mode, “Hello?”
Samuel's voice resonated across the other end of the call, “Benson, dad is in terrible shape now and he needs Phoenixia to save his life. Bring the pill over now, right away.”
Benson's startled eyes grew bigger and rounder when he heard Samuel's quivering voice asking for the pill - It's true! Nathan had hit the bullseye again!

Benson had always been wary of his elder brother; he would never dare to defy Samuel
Leah snatched the phone away before he could say a word. “Huh! So you're asking for Phoenixia now?" She cried scornfully, “Didn't you guys throw it on the floor and say that it was a rotten pill? And you even told us to save it for ourselves?”
"What makes you think that you can just take it back now since you've treated it like dirt?”
"Don't think that it'll be so easy to take it back just like this. Come and beg us if you really want it!" With an angry grunt, she hung up the call.
The phone shrilled again the moment she hung up; it was Samuel again.
