"Is that what Nelson told you?" Ryan was still doubtful.


    "Why do you think Gideon is in pursuit of Nelson and trying to kill him? Don''t you remember how Nelson was covered with injuries when he first arrived at our alliance?" Russell rolled his eyes at Ryan, who remained silent.


    It did seem reasonable. Nelson had been half-dead when he arrived that day.


    "But The Reimers are still the enemies of Interster Alliance. I still don''t think we can trust them."


    Ryan still felt that The Reimers and Nelson were not to be trusted.


    "Aren''t these alliances just afraid of us?" Russell returned to the couch once more and sat down. "Do you really think that there are two souls in Sean''s body? How could something so ridiculous exist? This is just because Scott was the victor. He imprisoned Sean, and now he can say whatever he wants."


    Ryan pressed his lips together, wavering at Russell''s words.


    Many things that didn''t seem reasonable back then were starting to make sense now.


    "Just buy five potions as usual today, and we''ll bring them back for research. When the timees, we''ll expose Gideon''s deceptive scheme!" Russell looked confident.


    Over at Shadowhawk Alliance, the acting lord, Francis Kanz, knocked on Gideon''sboratory door and entered.


    "Mr. rke, Colossus Alliance hasn''t responded. They just ordered five potions. Also, there are many negativements about you on the intersterwork now."


    "Oh? What are they saying?"


    As Analise had been around, Gideon also hadn''t seen the intersterwork for a few days.


    "They all say that they were unable to awaken their abilities because of your potion. Therefore, they have begun to request their alliances to boycott the potion and stop buying it."


    Francis pulled out an interface and projected it onto one of theboratory''s machines.


    "Haven''t you found the problem yet, everyone? Why have some of us awakened our abilities while some have not?"


    "I heard that Gideon''s potion is to stop us from receiving abilities. I''ve heard the potion sold by The Reimers can increase our mind essence and help us to get abilities."


    "Shadowhawk Alliance has always been malicious. Have you forgotten? Previously, there was a small alliance that was just passing through their territory. They were beaten up and almost destroyed."


    "I heard about that, too. It caused a huge uproar at the time, but the search terms were soon taken off."


    "That''s why I think that the thunder abilities I developed are due to my own strength as well as the potion drank, which is the kind like The Reimers'', increasing my mind essence. It wasn''t because I drank the antidotal potion manufactured by Gideon."


    "Of course, therian genes can integrate with the natural elements in Ster Ambers. My friend


    discovered that a few days ago


    when@rge number of males began to attack unconsciously. Gideon must have discovered that, too!"


    "The truth is that the integrating of therian genes with natural elements is just too painful. That''s why the males have had all kinds of problems. Losing consciousness is just one of the bodily reactions.


    "There was an ount that seems to be from one of The Reimers, and it mentioned just now that the new reagent they''re developing is to help therians control natural elements."


    "I saw that, too. It says that itchiness and temporary loss of consciousness are just clinical manifestations and side effects of the potion."


    "Doesn''t that mean that we shouldn''t take the potions manufactured by Gideon? We want to get abilities, too!"


    "What nonsense are you all talking about? This is the antidote potion that Ms. Chamber and Gideon developed together! I trust Ms. Chamber!"


    "Yes! You are all being illogical. You can''t possibly think that The Reimers are good people, do you?"


    "Are you Gideon''spdogs? Why are you so anxious to yap on his behalf?"
