---- Chapter 2515 Emir said, "I heard that the leader of the Divine Alchemists, Mr. Julius Bowen, spends all his time obsessed with martial arts instead of studying the alchemy traditions passed down by the sect''s founder. When the leader goes astray, the whole line falters. From the looks of it, Sovereign''s Apothecary seems to be heading downhill, too." He continued, "Meanwhile, my family is at a point where we''re ready to soar. Sovereign''s Apothecary''s elixirs'' quality and inted prices can''t keep up with our family''s needs.<fn41f0> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on F?ndNovel</fn41f0>
So frankly, we''d rather not do this business at all." His words were sharp and confrontational. Theon suppressed his rising anger and red coldly at Emir. Thetter stared right back at Theon, refusing to back down. Emir had a refined, almost feminine look, but he did not seem weak. His eyes were dark and unreadable, giving off a quiet sense of danger. Among the Robertson family''s three prodigies, Emir ranked second. His martial skills and intelligence far surpassed Isabelle''s. In terms of strategy, he was even more cunning than his older brother, Mylo Robertson.
---- Theon knew that if he wanted to secure the Robertson family''s contract, he had to get past Emir first. He said, "You must be Emir, right? Mr. Robertson Senior is truly blessed, having two talented sons and a brilliant daughter. The next generation''s already strong enough to hold up half the family''s empire." He decided to sidestep Emir''s usations for now, trying to ease the tension with small talk. However, Emir did not y along. He said tly, "Mr. Orben, let''s stay on topic.
If Sovereign''s Apothecary can''t solve the two problems I just raised, then the Robertson family has no intention of continuing this business. Also, if you have nothing else to say, please leave. The Robertson family''s next distinguished guest should be on their way here right now." Theon''s expression changed as he snorted coldly. "Emir, are you trying to kick me out? And who exactly is this next guest you''re talking about? Don''t tell me the Robertson family already found another supplier and has no intention of working with us anymore?" Emir smirked faintly.
"In this world, everyone looks out for themselves, Mr. Orben. It''s not that we''re disrespecting Sovereign''s Apothecary; it''s that your products can no longer keep up with us. You know how it goes: youpare the ---- options before making a purchase. "Our family''s money doesn''t grow on trees, so why should we stay loyal to a supplier that''sgging behind? As for the other options I mentioned, there are plenty.
Sovereign''s Apothecary isn''t the only alchemy guild in Chetvine." He added, "For instance, that new group called Medicine God''s Covenant, and they seem to have some real potential." Theon scoffed loudly, full of disdain. "Emir, let me educate you on something. You can say what you want about thepetition, but Medicine God''s Covenant? They''re nothing but amateurs. Are you truly unaware that Andrew is the man behind that group? Are you seriously saying the Robertson family would work with him?" Emir replied calmly, "Of course not. The Robertson family would never cooperate with that traitor.
But aside from Medicine God''s Covenant, there are plenty of others we could turn to. And to be frank, Sovereign''s Apothecary''s attitude has be rather... unpleasant over the years. Even if partnering with Medicine God''s Covenant isn''t ideal, it wouldn''t be any worse than sticking with you."<style>
