"Speak your piece," ze Regret said calmly, eyes closed and head unraised.
"Hehe, I''vee to help the ze family resolve its crisis. If an alchemist were to step forward, rumors of the ze family''s financial troubles would naturally dissipate." Ahmad Kamal sat down boldly beside ze Peter, smiling.
This was no exaggeration. An alchemist''s influence was immense. If Ahmad Kamal intervened, the ze family could easily ovee this hardship.
Upon hearing this, ze Peter couldn''t help but snicker. He didn''t believe Ahmad Kamal would be so kind, especially considering that a few days ago, ze Regret had just beaten his prized apprentice into bedrest.
"What''s the condition?" ze Ash slightly opened his eyes, calmly looking at Ahmad Kamal.
"Talking to a smart person is refreshing. What I want isn''t particrly valuable. I heard that the head of the ze family possesses a rare ne. Could you bring it out for us to admire?" Ahmad Kamal chuckled, looking expectantly at ze Ash.
"Hand over that ne, and Master Ahmad Kamal will personally craft thirty pills for you. If needed, I can also help you eliminate the Snow family." Kartis Kai rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement on his face; his goal at the ze family''s house was within reach!
"Get out."
ze Ash''s indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, quietly echoed.
"ze family head, you should think this through." The excitement that had barely surfaced on Ahmad Kamal''s old face froze as his voice turned suddenly sinister.
Since bing an alchemist, ze Ash was the first to dare tell him to get out!
"Father, that ne..." ze Regret hesitated.
"That was your mother''s keepsake."
With a soft sigh, ze Ash spoke quietly, his eyes momentarily dazed as if recalling something.
Seeing his father suddenly appear much older, ze Regret trembled.
"ze family head, don''t regret this!" Ahmad Kamal''s face turned grim.
Just as Ahmad Kamal began to utter his threat, a fierce gust of wind struck harshly in front of him. An enraged roar followed, making his ears ring.
"Get out!"
Maintaining the posture of having thrown something, ze Regret red at Ahmad Kamal with bloodshot eyes, anger bubbling within him.
If he''d known the status of an alchemist was so useful, he would''ve revealed his trump card right away.
Damn it, who isn''t an alchemist nowadays?
ze Regret was secretly annoyed. It wasn''t really his fault; he hadn''t fully experienced the influence and authority of an alchemist yet. After all, bing an alchemist had been surprisingly easy for him.
"Ahmad Kamal, I''ve always said there are always people better and skies beyond skies. While an alchemist may be precious, the vast Veloria City isn''t home to just one."
Standing up, ze Regret coldly stared at Ahmad kamal, his voice exceptionally icy.
"You''re not about to im that you''re an alchemist too, are you?" Ahmad Kamal''s lips curled into an exaggerated sneer, as if he''d just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Haha, a sixteen year old alchemist? ze Ash, has your son lost his mind?" Kartis Kai also sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
Do they really think alchemists are somon that anyone can impersonate one?
"Let me in, I''m not here to collect a debt!"
At this moment, amotion erupted outside. The people in the hall turned their gazes towards the source, their brows furrowing slightly.
Soon after, an old voice, tinged with urgency, echoed into the hall.
"ze Regret, my young friend, are you here? Park has a question to ask!"
"Where did this countryside bumpkine from, causing such a ruckus and breaking the rules?" Hearing the noise from outside the hall, a trace of displeasure shed in Kartis Kai''s old eyes as he snorted coldly.
"Who knows, maybe it''s some poor rtive of the ze family," Ahmad Kamal also sneered sarcastically.
"ze Regret, my young friend!"
Just as Kartis Kai''s voice fell, a figure rushed in hurriedly, scanning around with a particrly nervous look.
"Master Park Lily?"
Seeing who it was, ze Ash and ze Peter both twitched their eyelids, quickly stood up, and cupped their hands in salute. Kartis Kai, however, stood there as if struck by lightning.
The neer turned out to be an alchemist?
As the top powerhouses in Veloria City, they naturally knew Park Lily very well and were acutely aware of how prestigious an alchemist''s identity was.
"Park Lily, what are you doing here?" Ahmad Kamal asked, puzzled.
"None of your damn business!"
Catching his breath, Park Lily nced at Ahmad Kamal and turned away in a huff.
As fellow alchemists, the two naturally had numerous interactions, though they were far from friendly. They hadpeted for business countless times.
"Master ze, is young friend ze Regret here?"
Seeing ze Ash''s confusion, Park Lily scratched his head a bit awkwardly andughed dryly, his voice tinged with a bit of anxiety.
Upon hearing this, ze Ash was momentarily stunned. He then raised his hand and pointed to the thin figure obscured by the crowd.
Ignoring the astonished gazes around him, Park Lily took out a piece of white paper from his clothing and hastily stuffed it into ze Regret''s hand.
"Master ze, whether I can break through to a second grade alchemist depends entirely on you!"
Park Lily said expectantly, "This prescription was a gift from Angsana Pavilion. As long as I can master the method of refining this particr pill, I can easily break through to a second grade alchemist. Unfortunately, I''ve tried dozens of times without sess."
"Park Lily, what are you, crazy?"
Beside him, Ahmad Kamal looked at Park Lily oddly, somewhat perplexed. This guy must have gone mad from alchemist. How could he seek advice from a young boy on such matters?
Kartis Kai and the others were equally dumbfounded. Especially Kartis Kao, who, upon realizing Park Lily''s identity, instinctively took a step back. Fortunately, Park Lily did not hold a grudge. Otherwise, even as a member of the Kartis family, publicly insulting an alchemist would have serious consequences.
"Oh, a Purple Fire Pill?"
