---- Chapter 2466 Inside the headquarters of Chetvine''s Sovereign''s Apothecary, Titus, who had already taken over leadership, frowned as he asked, "So Andrew really ns to challenge the Sovereign''s Apothecary?" "Yes, Mr. Sterling. Andrew just bought a huge building next to Martial Tower, and he even secured the entire garden behind it from the Robertson family. From what I''ve gathered, he''s got big ambitions, and he''s clearly setting up topete with us in alchemy," Mika replied. Titus let out a mockingugh. "How ridiculous.
Do they even realize what Sovereign''s Apothecary represents in Holtrien''s world of alchemy? Not to mention, I''ve got the Divine Alchemists behind me. Andrew and Amari might be talented, but thinking they canpete with us is pure fantasy." Mika looked uneasy. "Still, Mr. Sterling, I think we should be cautious. We can''t just let the Medicine God''s Covenant grow freely without interference." Titus turned to Theon. "Mr. Orben, what do you think?" Theon scoffed. "He''s overestimating himself. If you ask me, Mr.<fn7446> Latest content published on find{n}ovel</fn7446>
Sterling, we should crush him before he even gets off the ground." ---- Titus raised a brow. "Crush him? And how do you suggest we do that?" Theon smirked. "Simple. We issue a public statement under the Sovereign''s Apothecary''s name. Anyone who coborates or associates with this so-called Medicine God''s Covenant will be cklisted. Think about it, without new alchemists joining them, what can Andrew and Amari possibly achieve on their own?" Titus stroked his chin and broke intoughter. "Excellent idea. Let''s do that.
From now on, anyone who sides with the Medicine God''s Covenant will be treated as an enemy of the Sovereign''s Apothecary." Theon then turned toward Mika. "Mika, it''s that time of year again when we negotiate with the major families over their annual orders. Madam Baxter used to personally handle those meetings with gifts in hand. This year, you''ll take over." Mika nodded confidently. "Understood, Mr. Orben. I''ll make sure everything goes smoothly." Theon gave a coldugh. "Speaking of Madam Baxter... She''s basically let go of everything now.
All she does these days is grow flowers and y with cats. It''s like she doesn''t even consider herself part of Sovereign''s Apothecary anymore. Frankly, that''s irresponsible, don''t you think? You should remind her of her duties, Mr. Sterling." ---- Titus'' expression darkened. "Brielle only recently stepped down from management. It''s normal for her to need time to adjust. Once she''s ready, I''ll assign her new responsibilities." Theon gave a sly grin. "You''re far too lenient, Mr. Sterling. If she''d been this easygoing back when she was in charge, the rest of us might''ve had an easier time.
And rumor has it she''s been spending quite a bit of time with Andrewtely. You know she''s always favored him and Amari. You''d better keep an eye on that. No team can survive internal cracks." Mika''s eyes gleamed as she added sweetly, "I really shouldn''t gossip about my elders, but it''s true that Andrew and Madam Baxter seem... close. I happened to overhear one of their conversations once. Andrew talked to her with no respect at all; teasing her, flirting, even saying some pretty shameless things. And Madam Baxter? She didn''t get mad at all. In fact, sheughed."<style>
