---- Chapter 2399 Theon''s face darkened. "Andrew, you''d better wise up. Even if your alchemy is superior, I''m hardlycking in skill myself. General Phn didn''te here just to learn alchemy. "She''ll need to interact with various professionals in the alchemy field and deal with the Divine Alchemists. I would be her guide, the most suitable mentor for her. You, on the other hand, only know how to shut yourself away and craft elixirs; you have nothing else to offer." Andrew curled his lip dismissively. "Alchemy is alchemy. Whyplicate it with extras?
Theon, that''s exactly why your skills are second-rate and your mind is scattered in too many directions." Luna suddenly spoke up with hopeful anticipation. "Mr. Lloyd, would you possibly be willing to teach me alchemy?" Andrew shook his head directly. "I''m afraid not." Everyone at the table was caught off guard by his blunt refusal. Even Theon had not expected this. He actually rejected Luna? She was someone every alchemist would fight to take under their wing. ''This arrogant fool just made a huge mistake!'' Theon thought ---- with an internal smirk.
By putting on airs and acting superior, Andrew had handed him the perfect opportunity on a silver tter. Leslie''s voice rose with indignation. "Mr. Lloyd, what do you mean by that? General Phn graciously asked you, and you rejected her. At least give us a reason." Andrew snorted coldly. "There''s no reason to give. I don''t want to; it''s too much trouble, I''m not in the mood, I''m not bothered, and Ick the patience. Do those reasons suffice for you?" Leslie opened her mouth to respond, but found herselfpletely silenced.
Under normal circumstances, she would have been furious and responded with sharp sarcasm. However, now that she hade to Chetvine and learned that Andrew was the Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family, she did not dare challenge him. He was far beyond her reach, the kind of man who could humble her a hundred times over. Luna''s face flushed slightly with embarrassment. She was rarely refused by anyone, let alone by someone whose favor she was actively seeking. As she looked at Andrew, anger and hurt welled up inside her simultaneously, and her expression turned noticeably colder.
"Leslie, that''s enough. If I can''t reach Mr. Lloyd''s standards no ---- matter how hard I try, then there''s no point in pursuing it further." Mika seized the perfect moment to interject. "Well, General Phn, it''s nice to meet you. I''m Mika Owens. I''d like to rmend Mr. Orben as your teacher. He''s really the most suitable choice for you." Luna tured to look at the neer and nodded politely. "Ms. Owens, hello." Mika smiled sweetly, walking over to stand beside Theon. " Mr. Orbem," she greeted, her tone dripping with warmth. Theon nodded, his expression easing.
"Mika, you''re here," he said approvingly. Mika took a seat beside him and looked at Luna again. " General Phn, I came to study at Sovereign''s Apothecary before you did. I''m now a sixth-grade potion master. Frankly, the best mentor here is Mr. Orben. Others might have talent, but when ites to actual teaching, no onepares to him." Luna seemed intrigued by this information. "Ms. Owens, you''ve already reached sixth-grade status?" Mika smiled confidently. "That''s right.
General Phn, we''re both women, and we''re both gifted, so there''s no need for excessive exnations between us. You should be able to see from my progress exactly which mentor would elerate your ---- own growth in alchemy the fastest."<fn2cea> Readplete version only at Find_Novel(.</fn2cea><style>
