Short filmTranscript
00:00:13My name is Abel, a high-ranking vampire of the Houston family, one with little real power or influence.
00:00:22This is my third attempt to ascend to the rank of nobility in broad daylight.
00:00:27If I succeed, I will become the first noble vampire to walk freely in sunlight.
00:00:32But if I fail...
00:00:34If you fail...
00:00:36The total debt with interest comes to 73 million blood crystals.
00:00:42Spared over 24 Hevzen's installments.
00:00:4624,000 years of repayment.
00:00:49Abel, are you sure you want this loan?
00:00:5273 million! You're a bunch of loan sharks!
00:00:58I'm only borrowing 10 million! This interest rate is illegal!
00:01:02Think the interest is too high? Then don't take the loan.
00:01:08Look, you've been borrowing left and right, and your credit's shot.
00:01:14I'm only offering this for old time's sake.
00:01:18If you don't want it, fine. Plenty of people are waiting.
00:01:42You delusional idiot. You want to be a noble. And even to be some kind of day-walking vampire, I'll
00:01:50rip out your blood core.
00:01:52And turn you into a blood slave, so you can spend eternity paying off that debt.
00:02:11What?
00:02:14A reincarnation curse.
00:02:21so you knew I'd pull this and you'd rather play a low-level vampire again you sneaky little brat
00:02:50so I reincarnated into the mortal realm figures I still couldn't break into the nobility
00:02:58but wait the sun's not burning me

00:09:28of vampire essence

00:09:32however

00:29:23of a young man?

00:29:26strange about him
00:29:28Sally
00:29:29how much do you know
00:29:31about him?
00:29:32not much
00:29:32Roy said the guy
00:29:34was just a jobless drifter
00:29:35Roy was planning
00:29:36to get him a job
00:29:37here as an attendant
00:29:38an attendant

00:31:21do you you
00:31:22you
00:31:22you
00:31:23you
00:31:24you
00:31:39Not bad.
00:31:42It is okay. The results will be available tomorrow.
00:31:50Wait, are we sharing a bed now? That's kind of weird.
00:32:02The couch is tiny. How are you going to sleep on that?
00:32:10The original body cannot perform. Every time you fail, you take it out on her and make her sleep on
00:32:15the couch.
00:32:17From now on, you take the bed. I'll take the couch.
00:32:35Why would you ask that?
00:32:47How about we just share the bed?
00:32:54Don't worry. I'll stay on my side.
00:32:57I won't touch you.
00:33:06I won't touch you.
00:33:09Coming up.
00:33:34I almost lost control. I wanted blood.
00:34:00What's wrong with me? How could I be like this?
00:34:26This body's too weak.
00:34:29Just a few days without blood, and I'm already drained.
00:34:41Yeah. How'd you sleep last night?
00:35:01Why is she acting so strange?
00:35:08Abel! You were right! Mr. Shea actually sent the herbs over!
00:35:16Abel, look at this! Mr. Shea actually sent over the herbs you asked for!
00:35:26He even sent the other ingredients you mentioned yesterday, Sally picked them out of her.
00:35:30Good.
00:35:31Abel, how did you pull this off? Did you really make that pill with your bare hands?
00:35:35What do you think?
00:35:36I mean, that's impossible, right?
00:35:40Exactly. Just a little trick.
00:35:42I knew it!
00:35:44Oh, and one more thing.
00:35:46Sally said Mr. Shea doesn't like owing anyone.
00:35:49This is the payment for the jade you gave him yesterday.
00:35:51Just as I expected.
00:35:53Abel, I'm confused.
00:35:55You gave him that jade yesterday.
00:35:57How much was it actually worth for him to send all these rare herbs?
00:36:02Not a fortune, but enough to open a small shop.
00:36:05What? Did I hear that right? A shop?
00:36:08Take the money and rent us a storefront on Antique Street.
00:36:11Doesn't have to be big. Just somewhere with good foot traffic.
00:36:14Abel, are you serious about opening a shop?
00:36:16Not just me. You too.
00:36:18Wait, me too?
00:36:19That's right. You'll manage the shop. We split the profits evenly.
00:36:26I sold a fine piece of jade yesterday for a good price.
00:36:29I plan to use the money to open a shop.
00:36:31We'll have steady income from now on.
00:36:34I promise.
00:36:35But Abel, what are we even gonna sell?
00:36:37Medicine.
00:36:37Medicine? What kind?
00:36:39Custom health supplements.
00:36:40The Holy Hall pretty much runs the supplement market.
00:36:42If we try to compete with them, we might not stand a chance.
00:36:44The Holy Hall? That name's bold.
00:36:48Don't worry.
00:36:49Once our own medicine is out, holy or not, we'll expose them for what they really are.
00:36:58Our own medicine?
00:36:59But where are we getting the formulas?
00:37:01Even if they're just supplements, we're in deep trouble if anything goes wrong.
00:37:06Just say I got them in a dream.
00:37:08Nothing's going to go wrong.
00:37:10Alright then.
00:37:11But Abel, are you sure about opening a shop?
00:37:14We got lucky with this money.
00:37:16We shouldn't blow it.
00:37:18Do you really want to be a waiter for the rest of your life?
00:37:20Of course not!
00:37:22Then do you just not trust me?
00:37:25I...
00:37:30Abel, did you actually buy a new dress for Anna?
00:37:32Duh.
00:37:33Did you think I went gambling again?
00:37:34Abel, you've really changed.
00:37:36Fine.
00:37:37I'm in.
00:37:38But we won't split the profits evenly.
00:37:39I'll take 30% at most.
00:37:41Fine.
00:37:41Your call.
00:37:42I'm gonna go look for a storefront right now.
00:37:45Hold on.
00:37:47What else?
00:37:48I borrowed $1,800 from you yesterday.
00:37:50With what I owed before, that makes $31,500.
00:37:53Take it out of this card yourself.
00:37:55Abel, what are you talking about?
00:37:57We've been you watching Totland.
00:37:59We've been friends since we were kids.
00:38:01Besides, you're letting me run the shop and giving me a cut-
00:38:03A debt is a debt.
00:38:04You lent me money because you trusted me, and I appreciate that.
00:38:07I have to pay you back.
00:38:09Alright Abel, I get it.
00:38:11Go on, get back to me once you find a good spot.
00:38:16Why are you crying again?
00:38:19If it's a dream, it's a good one.
00:38:22And we're just getting started.
00:38:29Honey, you ready to talk again?
00:38:46I'm fine, really.
00:38:48Honey, look.
00:38:51This is the Windborn Elixir.
00:38:53Take it, and you'll be able to talk again.
00:39:01This is great news, so why are you crying?
00:39:11You never looked down on me when I was a hopeless gambler.
00:39:14So why would I ever be ashamed of you?
00:39:20If you trust me, take it.
00:39:22You'll be able to talk again.
00:39:28You are my wife.
00:39:29No matter what, I'll never leave you.
00:39:48Hang on.
00:39:51Drink this.
00:39:54Trust me.
00:40:04Say it.
00:40:04I mean, say whatever you want.
00:40:07Just say it.
00:40:09Come on.
00:40:10Open your mouth.
00:40:11Talk to me.
00:40:12Say my name.
00:40:15Uh...
00:40:15Abel?
00:40:16Abel?
00:40:16Yes.
00:40:17Just like that.
00:40:18Say it.
00:40:19Abel?
00:40:21Abel?
00:40:24I'm right here.
00:40:25That's right.
00:40:26You can speak now.
00:40:34Roy.
00:40:35Abel!
00:40:36Anna is here too.
00:40:37Abel, what do you think of this spot?
00:40:40This shop isn't Mr. Shay's too, is it?
00:40:42Actually, Abel, about 80% of the shops on Antique Street belong to him.
00:40:47When Sally heard we wanted to open a shop, she mentioned it to him and he gave us this spot
00:40:53right away.
00:40:54Perfect.
00:40:55Let's go check it out.
00:40:56So, what should we name the shop?
00:40:58I was gonna ask you too.
00:41:00Once the name is set, we can make the sign.
00:41:02Since we're selling supplements...
00:41:05How about...
00:41:07The powerhouse.
00:41:08What do you think?
00:41:09We're a pharmacy, not a dojo.
00:41:12True.
00:41:13How about Pure Heart Hall?
00:41:15Pure Heart Hall?
00:41:16Yeah, new start, fresh heart.
00:41:19I like that.
00:41:20Wait...
00:41:23Anna!
00:41:25You...
00:41:25Oh, right.
00:41:26I forgot to tell you.
00:41:28Anna can talk now.
00:41:30Sorry, did I scare you?
00:41:33How can you suddenly talk?
00:41:37Another one of your tricks?
00:41:43Take care.
00:41:44Listen up, old man.
00:41:46Now that we're here, we're not scared of Mr. Shay.
00:41:48From now on, you pay this amount every month.
00:41:52Protection fee.
00:41:53Got it?
00:41:55Understood.
00:41:57Understood.
00:42:03What's the matter?
00:42:05Look!
00:42:06Abel?
00:42:16Wait, he's still alive?
00:42:19Last night...
00:42:27What do we do now?
00:42:28Don't do anything stupid.
00:42:30Go back and report this to Leon.
00:42:36Ha ha ha!
00:42:37I won again!
00:42:39Sorry, everyone!
00:42:40Looks like you're on fire today, Mr. Wills.
00:42:43All thanks to you.
00:42:56Enjoy yourselves, everyone.
00:42:58I'll be right back.
00:43:01What's going on?
00:43:02Can't you even wash your hands?
00:43:14He's still alive?
00:43:16Are you sure?
00:43:21Absolutely.
00:43:22We both saw him.
00:43:24A couple of days ago, you beat him half to death.
00:43:27And now he's acting like nothing happened.
00:43:30Totally freaky.
00:43:37So what?
00:43:39If he's not dead, he pays.
00:43:42Tomorrow, you two go find him and get my money back.
00:43:51Leon.
00:43:52Mr. Grave is here.
00:43:53Send him in.
00:43:56In a bit.
00:43:57Throw those two into the dog cages.
00:44:02They stay there till I get my money.
00:44:10Listen up.
00:44:12If Abel doesn't pay up within three days, you're paying it.
00:44:15Got it.
00:44:21Understood.
00:44:23Get lost.
00:44:31Come on, let's drink.
00:44:37Leon.
00:44:39Ah, Mr. Grave is here.
00:44:41Come.
00:44:41Take a seat.
00:44:44Mr. Grave, it's been six months.
00:44:48Why is that old man still alive and kicking?
00:44:51You aren't playing me, are you?
00:44:54I swear to God, Leon.
00:44:57I wouldn't dare lie to you.
00:44:59He definitely won't make it past next month.
00:45:01If you're right, once I take over Antique Street, you'll be rewarded handsomely.
00:45:09Thanks, Leon.
00:45:11But let me be clear.
00:45:13If he's still breathing by next month, it's your head on the block.
00:45:24It's amazing Anna can speak now.
00:45:26It's the perfect way to kick off our grand opening.
00:45:28Come on, Abel, Anna, sit down and have some tea.
00:45:33Is the rent here very high?
00:45:35Not really.
00:45:36Mr. Shea gave us a discount.
00:45:38By the way, Abel, here's your card back.
00:45:41The pin is all zeros.
00:45:43There's still 1.23 million left.
00:45:46I'll get the expense report together for you later.
00:45:49Wait, hold on.
00:45:51How much did you say is on that card?
00:45:56Abel, have you told Anna how much that jade sold for yet?
00:46:01Just got lucky.
00:46:02One piece went for 2 million.
00:46:052 million?
00:46:07Don't be surprised.
00:46:08There's plenty more where that came from.
00:46:10Roy, just send me 500,000.
00:46:13The rest will cover the shop's startup costs.
00:46:15No need, Abel.
00:46:16I've already set aside 300,000.
00:46:19That's plenty for getting us started.
00:46:21Alright, honey, you keep this money then.
00:46:26Mr. Houston!
00:46:27You finally made it!
00:46:28Do you need something?
00:46:31Wait, you look familiar.
00:46:32Have we met before?
00:46:35She's my wife.
00:46:36She used to sell her paintings on Antique Street.
00:46:38Maybe you've seen her around.
00:46:40Ah, so this is Mrs. Houston.
00:46:43No wonder she's so beautiful.
00:46:46A perfect match for a talent like you.
00:46:50Mr. Shia, was there something you wanted to discuss?
00:46:53I heard from Roy that you're opening a shop.
00:46:56I came by to congratulate you and see if there's anything you need help with.
00:47:00Like sourcing herbs or setting up distribution.
00:47:04Having your help would be incredible if it's not too much trouble.
00:47:07Not at all.
00:47:08Everything's already set on my end.
00:47:10You can just have Roy.
00:47:12Wait, I should call him Mr. Donovan now.
00:47:15Please, Mr. Shia, don't say that.
00:47:17I wouldn't dare act like a big shot in front of you.
00:47:19Mr. Donovan, as the saying goes,
00:47:22the tides always turn.
00:47:24You're striking out on your own now.
00:47:26And as your former employer,
00:47:28it's only right that I give you a leg up.
00:47:31Thank you so much, Mr. Shia.
00:47:36Sally, take Mr. Donovan to the pavilion, share our channels and connections with him.
00:47:42And remember, hold nothing back.
00:47:47Understood, Mr. Shia.
00:47:48Mr. Donovan, let's go.
00:47:50Sally, please, you're making me blush.
00:47:54I will. I'll head out then.
00:47:56Cut to the chase, Mr. Shia. What's on your mind?
00:48:00Mr. Houston, could we speak in private?
00:48:07I'll wait for you outside.
00:48:11Wait, honey.
00:48:14Don't call me that.
00:48:17What's wrong? Are you mad at me?
00:48:20Then stay here.
00:48:21Mr. Shia, Anna isn't an outsider, so you don't have to...
00:48:25No, that's not it. I mean...
00:48:28Maybe you should call me Snow instead.
00:48:31Why the sudden change?
00:48:38Just consider it a favor, okay?
00:48:41Fine, Snow.
00:48:43Take that money and get yourself a nice brush.
00:48:45Your hands are meant for painting.
00:48:47Not for getting all scratched up.
00:48:49He actually noticed such a tiny detail.
00:48:52Okay.
00:48:56Mr. Shia, you've taken my pill, haven't you?
00:49:00Mr. Houston, you have to save me.
00:49:11Wait, where did the wound go?
00:49:14This bandage is amazing.
00:49:16Mr. Houston, you have to save me!
00:49:21Mr. Shia, you're overreacting. Please, get up.
00:49:25Mr. Houston...
00:49:26Have a seat.
00:49:31Before, Mr. Grave told me my heart palpitons were normal, so I didn't think much of it.
00:49:37But after what you said, I got suspicious and went to the hospital for a full checkup.
00:49:42The results?
00:49:43The results were dire.
00:49:45Your heart is failing from the inside out, barely alive.
00:49:48Exactly!
00:49:49Mr. Houston, you're a miracle worker!
00:49:52I'm no miracle worker.
00:49:53Go on, tell me everything.
00:49:56I had experts check the pill you gave me.
00:49:59Once they confirmed it was safe, I took it.
00:50:02That night, all my symptoms vanished.
00:50:04I went back to the hospital.
00:50:06Even the specialists couldn't believe it.
00:50:08It was nothing short of a miracle.
00:50:12You're a lucky man, Mr. Shia.
00:50:14If you had found out any later, even the gods couldn't have saved you.
00:50:21I beg of you, Mr. Houston, save my life!
00:50:25Don't worry.
00:50:26The effects of that pill haven't fully kicked in yet.
00:50:30Wait until tomorrow, and your body will naturally recover.
00:50:33Really?
00:50:34Since I'm settling down here, you're free to call on me anytime.
00:50:38Wonderful.
00:50:38Mr. Houston, I can never repay this debt.
00:50:42Please, have this tea as a token of my gratitude.
00:50:49Mr. Shia, you paid extra for my stones and even helped me set up shop.
00:50:53That says a lot about you.
00:50:55So I'll give you this pill in return.
00:50:57Good. I like the way you think.
00:50:58That's how it should be.
00:51:03Mr. Houston, what do you think?
00:51:06The longevity pill from Mr. Grave, was it an accident or a setup?
00:51:10That's a question for him, not me.
00:51:13I'm just worried I might misjudge him and ruin our relationship.
00:51:19Let me give you some advice.
00:51:21Go ahead.
00:51:22Do things openly.
00:51:24Live with a clear conscience.
00:51:26Then trouble won't find you.
00:51:30Abel!
00:51:32Mr. Shia, am I interrupting something?
00:51:35Should I step out for a bit?
00:51:37I have finished.
00:51:38No need.
00:51:39Mr. Shia and I are finished.
00:51:40Great! Abel, Sally introduced us to the best herb suppliers and production channels.
00:51:45Everything's ready. We're just waiting for your formulas.
00:51:47Bring me a pen.
00:51:48Got it.
00:51:54I have to ask.
00:51:55What kind of supplements are you planning to sell?
00:51:58Nothing special.
00:52:00Just pills for strength, healing, and longevity.
00:52:03Not much different from the one I gave you.
00:52:06You still have more of those?
00:52:08I'll take as many as you've got.
00:52:10Name your price!
00:52:13Easy there, Mr. Shia.
00:52:17Abel.
00:52:25Abel.
00:52:30Mr. Houston, if you're writing the formulas now, maybe Jude and I should step out?
00:52:38No need.
00:52:48What was that?
00:52:56Mr. Shia, what's wrong?
00:52:59What handwriting?
00:53:01Smooth strokes.
00:53:03Hidden edge.
00:53:05No wonder he doesn't mind me seeing the formulas.
00:53:13What's the matter?
00:53:15Abel, you can't even remember a phone number.
00:53:18Now you've memorized 18 formulas?
00:53:24These 18 formulas cover everything.
00:53:26From injuries to colds.
00:53:27From energy tonnets to balance.
00:53:29I've numbered them.
00:53:311 to 5 are basic pills.
00:53:32The mortal tier.
00:53:336 to 10 are premium pills.
00:53:35The earth tier.
00:53:3611 to 15 are our signature pills.
00:53:38The heaven tier.
00:53:39Abel, I noticed something.
00:53:41The medicines for injuries and illness are cheap.
00:53:43But the wellness pills cost much more.
00:53:45Why?
00:53:46A human life is priceless.
00:53:49Saving one life is worth more than any fortune.
00:53:54You're getting all poetic on me.
00:53:56I can barely keep up.
00:53:57Mr. Houston.
00:53:58You're young, but you've got a healer's heart.
00:54:01Impressive.
00:54:02I'm curious.
00:54:03What do those last three formulas do?
00:54:05Those last three are Pure Heart Hall's signature pills.
00:54:08I'll have to make them myself.
00:54:09I've named them Replenishing Pill, Spirit Pill, and Vitality Pill.
00:54:12Taken together, they can restore youth and extend your life.
00:54:15Price is $880,000 each.
00:54:17$880,000?
00:54:18Abel, we just opened this place.
00:54:20Will anyone actually pay that much?
00:54:21They're mainly for the brand.
00:54:23Doesn't matter if they sell or not.
00:54:24Mr. Houston, if I may ask, how do these three compare to the pill you gave me?
00:54:28The one I gave you was just for your condition.
00:54:31These are far better for extending your life.
00:54:34Fantastic.
00:54:35I'll reserve three right now.
00:54:36If they work, I'll send more customers your way.
00:54:39Thank you, Mr. Shea.
00:54:41No problem.
00:54:43Abel, I'll get right on it.
00:54:44If all goes well, Pure Heart Hall can open tomorrow.
00:54:48You'll have a busy few days.
00:54:50No trouble at all.
00:54:51I feel I've got endless energy right now.
00:54:55Mr. Houston, opening a new shop is a big deal.
00:54:59But there's something I should warn you about.
00:55:01Oh?
00:55:02What is it?
00:55:03Selling supplements on Antique Street means you're stepping on the Holy Hall's turf.
00:55:08Mr. Grave won't just ignore that.
00:55:10When you open tomorrow, you'd better be ready.
00:55:16Abel?
00:55:17Don't worry.
00:55:18Whatever comes, we'll deal with it.
00:55:21I'd like to see for myself if he's the real deal or just a fraud.
00:55:29Alright then, I'm heading out.
00:55:34Mr. Shea, if you have time tomorrow, come by and join the opening.
00:55:39You're too kind, Mr. Houston.
00:55:41I'd come even if you didn't invite me.
00:55:43I'm still waiting to buy your pills.
00:55:46See you then.
00:55:47Jude, what do you make of this man?
00:55:50Mr. Shea, from what we've found, he used to be a hopeless gambler.
00:55:54Leon nearly beat him to death once.
00:55:56But these past few days, you've seen it yourself.
00:55:59He's like a completely different person.
00:56:02Could this be a celestial awakening?
00:56:05Celestial awakening?
00:56:06When someone faces death and suddenly awakens,
00:56:09Gaining a higher understanding of the world.
00:56:13A man like that is no ordinary person.
00:56:21Excuse me, how much is this brush?
00:56:25680.
00:56:28And this one?
00:56:291200.
00:56:31Then...
00:56:33What about this one?
00:56:35Miss, you've been looking for a long time.
00:56:37Are you buying or not?
00:56:40I'll buy one.
00:56:41I was just hoping to find something under 200.
00:56:44If you're looking for 200 brush, why come here?
00:56:47Just get one from a street stall.
00:56:49Wesley, is that any way to talk to a customer?
00:56:52Dad, we don't even sell brushes that cheap.
00:56:58Never mind then, I won't buy one.
00:57:04What's the most expensive brush in your shop?
00:57:10The brushes here are too expensive.
00:57:12Let's go somewhere else.
00:57:14Don't we have money now?
00:57:15Why don't I worry too much over a brush?
00:57:17You just opened your shop.
00:57:18You must have a lot of expenses now.
00:57:20I don't want you wasting money on me.
00:57:22Any brush will do.
00:57:27How much is this one?
00:57:29You've got a sharp eye.
00:57:30That's the treasure of our shop.
00:57:33Price is $500,000.
00:57:35Let's see what you've got.
00:57:36Better just look from there, sir.
00:57:38If you damage it, you won't be able to afford it.
00:57:41Ridiculous!
00:57:42How could just looking at it damage it?
00:57:45You're going too far.
00:57:47Bring the brush out!
00:57:49Dad!
00:57:50Who's the boss here, you or me?
00:57:56Please, have a look, sir.
00:58:00Bring some paper and ink.
00:58:02Let this gentleman test the brush.
00:58:04Sir, this is an imperial ink brush with black lacquer and gold in clay.
00:58:09It's one of a kind.
00:58:11Try it and see how it feels.
00:58:14Hey!
00:58:15You didn't even dip it in the ink!
00:58:16Do you even know anything about calligraphy?
00:58:20What are you getting so worked up for?
00:58:22Sir, please, dip it in the ink first.
00:58:25No need.
00:58:25I'll just give it a quick try.
00:58:32What is this?
00:58:33Sir, why press so hard?
00:58:35There's no ink in it.
00:58:37Did you expect it to write?
00:58:38Let's just try another shop.
00:58:40This brush is fake.
00:58:43What'd you say?
00:58:44Dad, look at him!
00:58:46Dad, what's wrong?
00:58:47A...
00:58:47A fake?
00:58:49That's right.
00:58:51If you don't believe me, take a closer look yourself.
00:58:54How could it be fake?
00:58:56A fake.
00:58:57His calligraphy is incredible.
00:58:58There's no way he'd mistake a real brush for a fake.
00:59:02Unless...
00:59:02I see.
00:59:04Since it's fake, how about letting me have it for 500?
00:59:07500?!
00:59:07You two are just scammers!
00:59:09Get out of here!
00:59:10Shut up!
00:59:11This brush really is fake.
00:59:13Thank you for pointing it out.
00:59:14Otherwise, we'd have made fools of ourselves.
00:59:18Liam, wrap this brush up for this gentleman.
00:59:20Dad!
00:59:21You've cherished this brush for years.
00:59:23How could it be fake?
00:59:26I misjudged it.
00:59:27The brush is fake.
00:59:29Just pack it up already.
00:59:32Don't mention it.
00:59:33I should thank you, sir.
00:59:35Honey, pay for it.
00:59:39Take care.
00:59:41Dad, what were you thinking?
00:59:43Shut up.
00:59:44Come here.
00:59:47There's nothing there.
00:59:48What are you looking at?
00:59:49Quiet.
00:59:50Go get some of those gold leaf scraps we use for gilding.
00:59:55Grab a handful and toss them on.
01:00:04Grab a handful and toss them on.
01:00:07This is invisible strokes.
01:00:10Incredible control.
01:00:12I never thought someone could reach this level in calligraphy.
01:00:16This...
01:00:17This is a masterpiece.
01:00:19Dad, are you serious?
01:00:21Don't tell me you sold our shop's treasure for 500 because of this.
01:00:24We lost a fortune.
01:00:26You still have a lot to learn.
01:00:28This single stroke is worth way more than 500,000.
01:00:32I-thousand.
01:00:34It's worth over five million.
01:00:37Five million?
01:00:41500 for a brush?
01:00:43Isn't that a bit of a waste?
01:00:45If my shop goes under, we'll have to live off your paintings.
01:00:49You think any old brush will do?
01:00:53All right.
01:00:54I'll take such good care of this brush.
01:00:57I'm so happy.
01:00:59You're way too easy to please.
01:01:00Besides, we're married.
01:01:02You don't need to be so polite with me.
01:01:03Of course I'm happy.
01:01:05This is the first gift you've ever given me.
01:01:07I really love this brush.
01:01:09Now I won't poke myself with it anymore.
01:01:14Don't be afraid.
01:01:15Stay behind me.
01:01:40Mrs. Fane?
01:01:41Oh, you're finally back.
01:01:46Abel, look at the mess you made.
01:01:48Me?
01:01:49Who else?
01:01:50Mrs. Fane, what exactly happened?
01:01:52What else?
01:01:53It's because of Abel's gambling debts.
01:01:56Anna, I'm telling you.
01:01:57You should have left him.
01:01:59Anna, you...
01:02:00You just talked!
01:02:04So that's what happened.
01:02:05At least he finally did something right.
01:02:08Anna, it's a blessing that you can speak now.
01:02:10You should really start thinking about your future.
01:02:14Mrs. Fane, Albert has really changed.
01:02:16He doesn't gamble anymore.
01:02:18We'll live a good life from now on.
01:02:22I hope so.
01:02:23If I hadn't stepped in today,
01:02:25those casino thugs would have cleaned this place out.
01:02:33Mrs. Fane, thank you for today.
01:02:35I'll take care of the gambling debts.
01:02:38I won't let anything happen to Snow.
01:02:41Hmph.
01:02:41Now you're talking like a man.
01:02:43Where was this attitude before?
01:02:45You'd better really turn over a new wheat this time.
01:02:48Anna, get some rest. I'm heading back.
01:02:50Thank you, Mrs. Fane.
01:02:55I'm sorry.
01:02:57I don't blame you.
01:02:58Not at all.
01:02:59As long as we can live a good life together from now on.
01:03:03I won't hold the past against you.
01:03:05After tomorrow's opening,
01:03:07I'll pay off the debts and leave the old Abel behind.
01:03:18Finally, the second tier.
01:03:25Everyone, I'm Roy Donovan, manager of Pure Heart Hall.
01:03:30Today is our grand opening.
01:03:33Our goal is to provide the most affordable, effective, and reliable supplements.
01:03:38And to celebrate, everything is 12% off.
01:03:43Now welcome, my good friend, and the owner of Pure Heart Hall, Abel Houston.
01:03:50Hello. I'm the owner of Pure Heart Hall.
01:03:52And I personally oversee the quality of our products.
01:03:55I promise you two things.
01:03:57First, they work.
01:03:59Second, they have zero side effects.
01:04:01If we fail on either point, I'll pay you back ten times the original price.
01:04:05He has some guts.
01:04:07He must be really confident in his pills.
01:04:10Ten times the price.
01:04:13That's a bold claim.
01:04:19You're pretty bold for someone your age.
01:04:28Mr. Grave.
01:04:30Mr. Shea, you're here too.
01:04:32I trust you've been well?
01:04:34Yeah, I'm getting by.
01:04:37Since you're here, I take it you know this young man?
01:04:41Let me introduce you.
01:04:42This is Mr. Houston.
01:04:44Don't let his age fool you.
01:04:46The man has real talent.
01:04:48Oh?
01:04:50If that's the case, I assume you've tried his medicine?
01:04:54I was lucky enough to receive one of his pills.
01:04:56It worked wonders.
01:04:57Even Mr. Shea has taken Abel's medicine?
01:04:59If Mr. Shea's praising him, the guy must really know what he's doing.
01:05:03Mr. Shea, even a layman knows traditional medicine is all about balance.
01:05:08If you're taking my prescriptions and mixing them with pills from some unknown source,
01:05:13who's responsible if something goes wrong?
01:05:16I'll take it.
01:05:17You?
01:05:18Who do you think you are?
01:05:19Medicine takes decades to master.
01:05:21A wet-behind-the-eared kid like you opens a shop and starts practicing medicine.
01:05:25Aren't you worried you might hurt someone, including yourself?
01:05:31When it comes to medicine, I'm way above you.
01:05:37How dare you! Show some respect to my master!
01:05:41What do you think you're doing?
01:05:49Everyone, please calm down.
01:05:52Mr. Grave, you are a respected elder.
01:05:56Mr. Houston, you are a rising star.
01:05:59Antique Street has room for both the Holy Hall and Pure Heart Hall.
01:06:04We should be doing well together, especially with Mr. Shea right here.
01:06:11Sally, you certainly have a silver tongue.
01:06:14You make prospering together sound so easy.
01:06:18But I just care about Mr. Shea!
01:06:20That's exactly why I'm testing this Abel guy!
01:06:22What exactly do you mean by that, Mr. Grave?
01:06:25I heard from friends at the hospital that you stopped taking my medicine in favor of Abel's pills.
01:06:33Is that true?
01:06:35Mr. Grave, I was actually planning to talk to you about that.
01:06:39I've been feeling a bit off lately, and then I ran into Mr. Houston.
01:06:43You're being fooled, Mr. Shea.
01:06:46I've practiced medicine here for 30 years.
01:06:49You don't trust me, but you trust some kid?
01:06:52Do you know how many con artists are after your money?
01:06:55Mr. Grave, you've got it all wrong.
01:06:57Mr. Houston isn't like that.
01:06:59Fine.
01:07:00I'll ask you one thing.
01:07:03Where did he get the money to open this shop?
01:07:10You're right.
01:07:12This money for the shop did come from Mr. Shea.
01:07:16See?
01:07:18I told you so!
01:07:22Mr. Shea, do you think I'm a con artist?
01:07:25No way! I've seen your skills first-hand, Mr. Houston.
01:07:28You're not just some ordinary guy.
01:07:31Forget about any talk of a scam.
01:07:33I don't buy it for a second!
01:07:34All right. That's all I needed.
01:07:36It's true I made money from Mr. Shea.
01:07:38But that's because I pulled a top-clear raw gem from a stone.
01:07:43Mr. Shea liked it and bought it from me.
01:07:45Everyone saw it happen.
01:07:47Where's the scam in that?
01:07:50That's the truth.
01:07:51Mr. Houston isn't lying.
01:07:53You street scammers have a million tricks.
01:07:57Some long cons take years to set up.
01:08:00If it helps catch a big client like Mr. Shea,
01:08:02what's a little raw stone worth?
01:08:05Wow.
01:08:07You're something else, you old hack.
01:08:11That's rich coming from you.
01:08:14You little Brett.
01:08:16Who are you calling an old hack?
01:08:18You think you can just slander me?
01:08:20You don't apologize, I'm not letting this go!
01:08:24Listen, you old hack.
01:08:25I'll ask you one question.
01:08:26If you can answer it right now, I'll apologize to you publicly.
01:08:30Heck, I'll even shut down Pure Heart Hall for good.
01:08:34Punk!
01:08:36You think you can stump us with some weird trick question?
01:08:39Exactly!
01:08:40I almost fell for that!
01:08:42Don't worry.
01:08:43I just want to ask you a basic question about traditional medicine.
01:08:49Traditional medicine?
01:08:51You brat!
01:08:52That's what you said!
01:08:54With everyone watching, don't try any tricks.
01:08:56If you do, don't blame me for ruining your reputation!
01:09:01He actually asked Mr. Grave about traditional medicine?
01:09:03He's asking for trouble.
01:09:05He's screwed.
01:09:08Abel, Mr. Grave's been at this for decades.
01:09:11Are you sure you can beat him?
01:09:12This isn't a joke.
01:09:14Relax.
01:09:15Just watch what happens next.
01:09:16How so?
01:09:18Because I'm about to look really cool.
01:09:21You call yourself a divine healer and open the Holy Hall.
01:09:26I want to know.
01:09:27Does that million dollar pill for Mr. Shay?
01:09:30Contain the venom of the three-legged toad?
01:09:39So does it or doesn't it?
01:09:42Yes.
01:09:43Definitely.
01:09:44Yes, my ass.
01:09:45That pill's got the toad's guts in it.
01:09:47And that stuff's deadly.
01:09:49Take it for too long and it'll wreck your heart, maybe even kill you!
01:09:55Sean Grave!
01:09:57Is what Mr. Hudson says true?
01:10:00No, Mr. Shay, it's not-
01:10:01No need to ask him.
01:10:02Mr. Shay, take that pill and have it analyzed.
01:10:06The answer will be clear.
01:10:10Fine.
01:10:12I'll have it tested in a bit.
01:10:14But Mr. Grave, if you don't admit it now,
01:10:17and I find out through testing, this becomes a very different matter.
01:10:23I-I must have forgotten.
01:10:25Or maybe I was careless.
01:10:27Mr. Shay!
01:10:28You have to believe me!
01:10:29How could I hurt you?
01:10:30You're my biggest clustament!
01:10:31I have no reason to harm you!
01:10:33Huh!
01:10:34No reason?
01:10:35Your whole being is the reason!
01:10:37Look at you.
01:10:38Deep dark circles, bloodshot eyes, that exhausted look in your gaze.
01:10:42Your complexion is sangier and uneven, with signs of severe internal heat.
01:10:46And on top of that, you're suffering from heavy hair loss.
01:10:49All of this shows you've been under serious stress for a long time.
01:10:52Severe hair loss?
01:10:53Mr. Grave's hair looks pretty thick, doesn't it?
01:11:02No! Don't!
01:11:10Sean Grave, what do you have to say for yourself now?
01:11:18Mr. Shay, I'm sorry. Greed got the better of me. Please, spare me!
01:11:25Jude, support Mr. Grave to the Antannic Pavilion.
01:11:30I need to have a very long talk with him.
01:11:40You're his top disciple. Abandoning your master already?
01:11:49Thank you, Mr. Houston. I've truly seen what you can do today.
01:11:53Once I deal with this, I'll come see you again.
01:11:57Very well, Mr. Shay.
01:12:01Abel, you're amazing!
01:12:04Buddy, stop smiling. It's your turn now.
01:12:08Oh, right.
01:12:10Hey, everyone! Is my friend awesome or what?
01:12:14Awesome!
01:12:16So, who wants to see the medicine we sell?
01:12:19You!
01:12:20Great! Everyone, step inside.
01:12:27Abel! You're seriously incredible!
01:12:30A nut of that. Get inside and take care of the customers.
01:12:34On it! Everyone, feel free to take a look around!
01:12:43Are you scared just now?
01:12:46With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything.
01:12:49It's just...
01:12:50What?
01:12:51I feel like you're a completely different person.
01:12:56Not just you, even I find it hard to believe.
01:12:59But I'm still me. People change, that's all.
01:13:02But you didn't know the first thing about medicine before.
01:13:06You really think I'm some kind of medical master?
01:13:08Well, aren't you?
01:13:10Today's show? I was just playing a part for Mr. Shay.
01:13:13Is that so?
01:13:13Of course!
01:13:15The gem I picked up almost got snatched by that crooked stall owner,
01:13:18and Mr. Shay stepped in to help me.
01:13:20He's my benefactor, so naturally, I'm returning the favor.
01:13:25I see.
01:13:26Then we can't forget what Mr. Shay did for us.
01:13:29Exactly. Come on, let's go help Roy out.
01:13:34Cheers!
01:13:36We start business tomorrow, so let's toast with tea instead of wine.
01:13:39You'd better find some reliable staff soon to help you out.
01:13:42You got it, Abel.
01:13:44Abel, take a guess. How much net profit did you make today?
01:13:48I have no idea.
01:13:49Come on, just guess.
01:13:53You're no fun at all.
01:13:54Anna, you guess.
01:13:55Um, maybe $2,000?
01:13:58$20,000! Net profit!
01:14:01$20,000?!
01:14:04$20,000?
01:14:05That's way too much for just one day!
01:14:08At this rate, we'll be rich in no time.
01:14:12You call this being rich?
01:14:15That's not rich!
01:14:16Three days ago, I was just a guy making $8,000 a month.
01:14:20And today, I made $7,000.
01:14:25In a single day!
01:14:28I'm freaking thrilled!
01:14:29Don't let it go to your head.
01:14:32At this rate, I'll be getting married in no time.
01:14:38What are you guys laughing at?
01:14:40Getting married is a top priority back in my hometown.
01:14:43My mom is still waiting for grandkids.
01:14:45You're right. It's a big deal.
01:14:48I'll do my best to help you make it happen.
01:14:50Abel, let me toast you. I want to thank you.
01:14:53Everything I have today is thanks to you.
01:14:56Alright, sit down. Don't get all sappy on me.
01:14:59If you see me as a friend, let's not hear any more of that.
01:15:02Okay, I'll listen to you, Abel.
01:15:06Take this.
01:15:08What's this?
01:15:09A custom-made tonification pill.
01:15:11You've been working hard lately. This will help you recharge.
01:15:14Abel, you're the best. I'll take it in a bit.
01:15:17Eat!
01:15:18Abel, Anna, have some more. This meal is on me.
01:15:32Mr. Huston, if I may ask, what are the specific benefits of taking these three pills together?
01:15:39One day to cleanse the body, seven days to feel younger, and a month to extend your life by a
01:15:44year.
01:15:45Extend your life by a year?
01:15:48Mr. Huston, are there only these four packs available?
01:15:51Yes. These three pills require a lot of effort to make.
01:15:55This is all I have for now. The next batch should be ready next month.
01:15:59Fine. I'll take them all.
01:16:05I need to pee.
01:16:07Hold it.
01:16:08Fine. Jude.
01:16:10In here is 15 million. The extras for Mr. Huston for helping me with Sean Grave.
01:16:18Business is business. I'll have the extra return to you later.
01:16:23Mr. Huston, you're being far too formal. We may not have known each other long. I think we've developed quite
01:16:30a bond.
01:16:30Of course we have. But business and friendship are two different things.
01:16:36True. Very true.
01:16:38It was exactly the kind of thinking with Sean that led to my current situation.
01:16:43I've learned my lesson.
01:16:45Mr. Shia, if there's nothing else, we'll be heading out.
01:16:49Wait, aren't you curious how I handled Sean? Or who the mastermind behind him was?
01:16:57That's your business, Mr. Shia, and it has nothing to do with me.
01:17:00I trust you're more than capable of handling it.
01:17:03Mr. Huston, you're wrong this time. This man isn't easy to deal with, and he's actually connected to you.
01:17:09Oh? Who is it?
01:17:11Oh no! Mr. Shia!
01:17:15Mr. Huston, two of Leon's thugs are smashing the front door of the shop.
01:17:21Abel! Get your ass out here! Come out! I know you're in there!
01:17:27Stop right there!
01:17:36What do you think you're doing?
01:17:39There are laws in this country, you know?
01:17:46What are we doing? We're here to make that bastard. That bastard!
01:17:52Abel, pay up!
01:17:55Abel, just how much do you owe them?
01:17:58According to the loan agreement, the principal is $50,000 plus $21,200 interest.
01:18:04That makes $71,200 in total.
01:18:07That's not too bad.
01:18:09$70,000? Abel, you really are a piece of work.
01:18:13If you don't cough up $500,000 today, don't expect me to play nice.
01:18:24This is Antique Street. What do you think you're trying to pull?
01:18:29Huh. Antique Street?
01:18:31So what? Now that you and Leon have torn things apart, we've got nothing holding us back.
01:18:36Let me be clear. Leon's got his eye on this street now.
01:18:41What a joke! Jude, teach these blind fools a lesson!
01:18:54This is our mess. No need to trouble you, Mr. Shea.
01:19:00Did I hear that right? Did you get hit in the head too hard last time?
01:19:05Abel, now is not the time to act tough.
01:19:07I'm not acting tough. Then what do you mean? You're up. Go teach these two clowns a lesson.
01:19:15Me?
01:19:18Abel, stop kidding. You want me to fight those two?
01:19:23I might as well be walking into a trap.
01:19:26Mr. Houston! Isn't this a bit much for Mr. Donovan?
01:19:32Trust yourself. That tonification pill you took wasn't for nothing.
01:19:42Since your buddy's sending you to your death, I'll gladly help him out.
01:19:47Bro, here I come. I'll give him a taste of my fist.
01:19:52Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
01:19:59What's wrong with you?
01:20:00Stop stalling! Just finish him!
01:20:10Did I just become a superhero?
01:20:13How is this possible?
01:20:15Since when did Roy get this strong?
01:20:17Mr. Houston! What's going on here?
01:20:23He was born with superhuman strength.
01:20:28And you?
01:20:35Stop! We give up!
01:20:37Wait, I haven't even broken a sweat yet. How are you guys already down?
01:20:40Go tell Leon the debt's already been paid. With a life.
01:20:44If he still wants his money, he better be ready to pay with his own.
01:20:47Now get lost!
01:20:51Abel, that pill was insane! I feel I could take on anything!
01:20:57Mr. Donovan, that was impressive. You flatter me, Mr. Shea.
01:21:02Mr. Houston, was that the power of the pill?
01:21:06Like I said, he was born with it.
01:21:08You really have a way with words. I think I know Mr. Donovan better than that.
01:21:14All right, let's get down to business.
01:21:16Mr. Houston, you heard them. Leon has already set his sights on me.
01:21:20He failed to poison me through Mr. Grave, so now he's moving to Plan B.
01:21:25Brute Force.
01:21:26Is Mr. Che's influence not enough to deal with this guy?
01:21:31I'm just a legitimate businessman.
01:21:33He's on a different level.
01:21:35For now, he doesn't dare touch me directly.
01:21:37But I'm worried I can't protect you.
01:21:40Thanks for looking out, Mr. Shea.
01:21:42Just make sure you can handle yourself.
01:21:44If things get rough, I can always have your back too.
01:21:48Abel.
01:21:53Honey.
01:21:58Mr. Shea.
01:21:59Hi, Mrs. Houston.
01:22:01Didn't I tell you not to call me that in public?
01:22:04Roy, the shop is all yours now. Call me if anything comes up.
01:22:09Don't worry, Abel.
01:22:11Mr. Shea, I've got some things to handle. See you later.
01:22:14All right, you go ahead.
01:22:17Where are you taking me?
01:22:19You'll see when we get there.
01:22:30Leon, I messed up. Please, just give me one more chance.
01:22:35Mr. Grave.
01:22:36That kid last night, the one who screwed you.
01:22:39What's his new pharmacy called?
01:22:41Pure... Pure Heart Hall. Yes, that's it.
01:22:44Leon, everything I told you is the truth.
01:22:47I wouldn't dare lie to you.
01:22:49So it really is the same guy.
01:22:51That loser came back a different person.
01:22:54Now he's mixed up with that old goner, Mr. Shea.
01:22:57Leon, just say the word and I'll bring him to you, Orr.
01:23:01Let it go.
01:23:02I can't allow a moment of anger to ruin the bigger plan.
01:23:07That loser just a pawn.
01:23:10Take out the one pulling the strings behind that old man.
01:23:15And I'll finish them all.
01:23:24Mrs. Huston, this is your home now.
01:23:28What? Our home?
01:23:29That's right.
01:23:30Mr. Huston wanted to surprise you.
01:23:33He said he was just looking, but he actually paid in full.
01:23:36Here are the keys. Please, take them.
01:23:40Mr. and Mrs. Huston, please, this way.
01:23:50Abel, this place must have been so expensive.
01:23:54Where did you get all this money?
01:23:55Honey, there's something I need to tell you.
01:23:57I need you to be ready for this.
01:24:00Okay.
01:24:02Go on.
01:24:03A few days ago, I met a wandering cultivator.
01:24:06He taught me the ways of cultivation and alchemy.
01:24:09That's how I made the pills to cure your illness.
01:24:13And even impressed Mr. Shea.
01:24:15This house is only the beginning.
01:24:17You're joking, right?
01:24:23Look at me.
01:24:32You used to support me with your painting.
01:24:34From now on, I'll support you with my alchemy.
01:24:37I'll make you the happiest person in the world.
01:24:42Abel.
01:25:06Snow.
01:25:07Honey?
01:25:08Did I interrupt your training?
01:25:10Of course not.
01:25:11What's up?
01:25:12Roy and Mr. Shea are here.
01:25:15A few big names came with them.
01:25:18They're waiting outside to see you.
01:25:21Let's go.
01:25:26Abel!
01:25:27Why aren't you coming inside?
01:25:29Staying here with Mr. Shea, of course.
01:25:35Abel!
01:25:35Your black hair is back.
01:25:37And you look so healthy.
01:25:39Seems like things have been going well for you.
01:25:42This is all thanks to your alchemy.
01:25:45I've heard a lot about your amazing skills.
01:25:48Seeing you now, you really are impressive.
01:25:51You flatter me.
01:25:52My friends saw how I've changed.
01:25:55They made me bring them to meet you.
01:25:59Hope it's okay we just dropped by.
01:26:01No need to say that, Mr. Shea.
01:26:03Everyone's welcome.
01:26:04Come in, please.
01:26:04Let's go.
01:26:11Let's go.
01:26:19I don't know.
01:26:20You would do this.
01:26:20I can't tell you.
01:26:21No need to be checked by.
01:26:24You may need to be checked by.
01:26:25I will.
01:26:25No need to be checked by.
01:26:26No need to be checked by.
01:26:26You will.
01:26:27No need to be checked by.
01:26:29I'm going to be checked by.
01:26:34My family will make you pay.
01:26:36Your family?
01:26:37They've got bigger problems right now.
01:26:40They're not saving you.
01:26:42Impossible.
01:26:43I'm done talking.
01:26:44Take him.
01:26:49Anyone who steps up, dies.
01:26:53And me.
01:26:54I guess you two still haven't learned your lesson, huh?
01:27:00Black dragon.
01:27:18Don't worry.
01:27:21Let me handle this one.
01:27:23Are you sure?
01:27:25Maybe I should...
01:27:27Just watch.
01:27:32You barely survived last time.
01:27:35And now you're back for more?
01:27:40You ignored all warnings.
01:27:44Now you've brought this on yourself.
01:27:46You're asking for it.
01:27:48Get him!
01:28:08The sun sets.
01:28:11The moon shines.
01:28:12No wind.
01:28:13No rain.
01:28:15Only destiny.
01:28:18You...
01:28:18You're a wizard?
01:28:22Wizard?
01:28:23I am Count Vampire.
01:28:27Please!
01:28:28Spare my life!
01:28:29I beg you!
01:28:34Abel!
01:28:35I've finally found you!
01:28:39It's you!
01:28:40We parted in the Immortal Realm in such a hurry.
01:28:44Abel, did you ever think we'd meet again here?
01:28:47Enough talk.
01:28:48Die.
01:28:49Moonwexing.
01:28:50Sun winning.
01:28:51Stars in line.
01:28:52Tsukuyumi eyes.
01:28:53Awaken!
01:28:54You won't say back.
01:28:55You won't say back.
01:28:55Parkway is
01:28:56And 75 years
01:28:56tomorrow which has been gone.ún And 75
01:28:56later... Everyone is worn
