---- Chapter 2511 Andrew smiled and praised him. "Mr. Kan, I truly admire you. You have my deepest respect." Devin was in an excellent mood. "Alright then, let''s leave it at that. Iron Sword Sect doesn''t have a massive supply of alchemy materials, but we''ve got enough. We''ll send them straight to the Medicine God''s Covenant. You''d better get to work refining the pills we need. Don''t ck off, because my students are counting on those elixirs to boost their strength." He added, "And I''ll remember what you said about keeping us well-fed.
As for those eighth-grade divine pills, or even ninth- grade supreme elixirs... I hope one day you''ll actually deliver on that promise." Andrew assured him, "As long as I have the materials, and with Iron Sword Sect''s support and friendship, it won''t just be one elixir. I''ll make sure to send you three every year, without fail." Devin pped his hands. "Good, it''s settled then! Augustin, Franco, escort Andrew out. From now on, he''s our number-one honored guest." Augustin still looked dazed and stammered, "Y-Yes, Mr. Kan," before getting up to escort Andrew.
---- However, Franco waspletely lost by how Andrew had won Devin over so easily. He was still puzzled about the story of the zookeeper and the lion. He honestly did not get it His eyesnded on the crystal box in Andrew''s hand, and he licked his lips. "Andrew, I''m this close to breaking through to the martial emperor level. How about selling me that Starlight Elixir?" Andrew shook his head with a small smile. "Mr. McClure, I''ve got a story for you." Franco frowned. "Go on, I''m listening." Andrew chuckled. "It''s a story about money and women, but it fits us just fine.
You see, many men have money but don''t spend it on the women around them. Instead, they let the women see it. That way, the beauties just keeping, and the man never really loses a dime. You know what I mean?" Franco snorted. "Nonsense. If you don''t spend money, how will women like you? You''re dreaming too big, trying to get something for nothing." Andrew lifted a finger and wagged it. "No. You''re the one who. doesn''t get it. Let me be blunt: money isn''t meant to be spent on women; it''s meant to be shown to them.
And my ninth-grade supreme elixir isn''t for you to use, it''s for you to look at." ---- Franco''s beard trembled with anger. "You!" Andrew just chuckled, ignoring him as he followed Augustin out first. When they reached the staircase leading out of the Iron Sword Sect, Augustin finally spoke, sounding genuinely impressed. " Andrew, you''re incredible. You''re the first person I''ve ever seen who dared to act so cocky in front of Mr. Kan." Andrew smiled faintly. "That wasn''t arrogance. I was just prepared." Augustin shook his head, his expressionplicated.
"Prepared or arrogant, or maybe both... I know what I saw. Andrew, you''ve got guts. But honestly, I respect your brains even more." He hesitated for a second before adding, "I almost understood that first story you told, but the second one lost me. If aman doesn''t spend money on women, how would they even stay? That makes no sense at all."<fn7cb1> The rightful source is find?novel</fn7cb1><style>
