"The Technique of Eternal Youth and Immortality is only a little short of completion," Teacher Great Snake said, flicking his forked tongue.
"Only a little short?! You said that three years ago! Year after year, just how long do you expect me to wait?"
Facing the king of monsters, whose mere presence could frighten the black-suited bodyguards into a cold sweat, the old man showed no fear at all.

"Chairman, I have always remembered your help, but the Technique of Eternal Youth and Immortality isn't something that can be completed so easily..."
"I don't care! You must give me a definite date today, or I'll stop shielding you and call the Metropolitan Police Department to drag you monsters out and shoot you one by one!" the old man said overbearingly.

"Half a year."
"No. The doctors say my body probably won't last that long. Three months at most."
"Three months, then." Teacher Great Snake hesitated for quite some time before agreeing. "But as I told you, the Technique of Eternal Youth and Immortality requires a healthy person as a living sacrifice."
"Just one person. Even if you want a national sports champion, I can have one brought here."
