---- Chapter 2464 After dealing with Jaden, Andrew immediately shifted his focus tounching Medicine God''s Covenant. As a brand-new organization built topete directly with Sovereign''s Apothecary, its road ahead was long and full of obstacles. One wrong move, and their powerful rival could easily crush them. Amari looked worried and did not share Andrew''s optimism. He said, "Andrew, even with the Reyes family backing us, I still think this will be tough. Sovereign''s Apothecary has connections all over Chetvine.
Going head-to-head with them won''t be easy." Andrew, however, seemedpletely unbothered. "Amari, don''t overthink it. Let''s focus on the basics first. We open our doors, hire alchemists, start refining and selling elixirs, and build a reputation one client at a time. The rest wille naturally." His calm confidence made Amari rx a little. "Yeah, you''re right. One step at a time, huh? Try to move too fast, and we''ll end up tripping over ourselves. But Andrew, you''ll have to handle all the external deals.
I''ll take care of the alchemy operations inside Medicine God''s Covenant." "Deal," Andrew said with a nod. "You can start contacting those alchemists you''ve been keeping in touch with. Have them produce a batch of high-quality elixirs. Nothing too rare, just between fourth and seventh grade." ---- Amari smirked. "I get it. The super high-grade stuff is hard to sell, especially before our name gets out there." Andrew snapped his fingers. "Exactly. And for smoother operations, I''ll bring in a few people to help." Amari raised a brow. "Who exactly? Friends of yours?" Andrew grinned.<fn8f1c> Readplete version only at find?novel</fn8f1c>
"A few of your''sisters-inws''. They''reing to Chetvine to lend a hand." Amari''s face twitched. "Seriously, how many wives are you hiding from me, man? Having a bunch of women sounds impressive, but are you sure your body can handle it?" Andrew smirked. "Rx. I''m definitely stronger than you." Later that day, Andrew met with Luna and immediately sealed a deal on a building beside the Martial Tower. It was military property, not for sale to the public, because it was located in one of the most prime locations in all of Chetvine.
Yet, with a wave of his hand and the right connections, Andrew made it his. Naturally, Luna was all smiles as she helped him through the process. A little charm whispered into Philip''s ear, plus the fact that Andrew had once helped the military defeatedEzekiel, was enough to seal the deal. ---- Philip reluctantly signed the papers, selling the building to Andrew for an outrageously high price. Although Andrew was wealthy, he was not careless with money Hence, he turned to the deep-pocketed Reyes family for help.
ine covered the payment without hesitation, evenughing as she asked if he needed more. Andrew knew exactly why she was so agreeable: it was a wise investment. The building''s value was untouchable, and since the Reyes family could never have bought it directly from the military, funding Andrew meant owning a share of something priceless. Still, the building alone was not enough for Andrew. Behind ity a semi-developed garden estate; small but elegant, with ssic charm. When he found out it belonged to the Robertson family, he reached out to Isabelle.
She was a petite beauty, a total contrast to Francesca''s voluptuous, mature allure. Isabelle was pure, youthful, and t- chested. Nheless, she was charming in her own way. As soon as she heard Andrew''s n, she patted her chest and assured him, "Andrew, you want to use this ce for business? That''s easy! I can give it to you, no problem." ---- Andrew shook his head, his tone firm. "Belle, that wouldn''t be right. I''d rather rent it or buy it from you outright."<style>
