............"Hahaha...sure will be!" Andrew chuckled with a sly look on his face.Earl knew not to be fooled by Andrew's friendly demeanor. Behind his charming facade lay a shrewd and calculating personality, always seeking to benefit from friendships and relationships."Alright, see you later," Earl bid farewell as they parted ways."Now, who should I call for staff personnel?" Earl muttered, scrolling through his phone contacts.With the equipment matter sorted, he now needed to find staff with good personalities. He had several contacts he could reach out to."Let's talk to this guy, he should be able to help me," Earl decided, noticing a name on his contact list before giving him a call......In the church,"Why have you gathered us here, Father Deniel?" asked Bishop Dominic, looking at the other two bishops and the dozens of important priests behind them.Bishop Dominic, whose full name is Dominic Crowther, is in his late forties. He's tall and has broad shoulders, which give
............"Click... Swish...!"It revealed a hidden passageway leading underground.Archbishop Deniel took a candle stand from the other side of the wall before entering the passageway, which closed behind him.He walked quietly down the stairs, being careful with each step before arriving in a narrow corridor."Creeck...!"There was another door at the end of the corridor which slowly opened as he pushed it slightly.Revealing a quite big, spacious hall adorned with exquisite old and majestic designs, with figures of God Elandor carved in various poses."I didn't think I'd ever have to go back to being active again. Looks like these old bones can be used one last time to serve God Elandor and Lord Heir!" Archbishop Deniel mumbled to himself as he stood in front of a glass case.Inside the case hung a long trench coat with white and golden striped patterns, and beside it, there was a magnificent-looking staff quietly shining its luster."Ah, what good old days," Archbishop Deniel
............"Hey... wait up," Aria had just taken a few steps when someone called her. She stopped and looked back."Ohh... Resma, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you also go to this university!" Aria was surprised to see her there."Yeah, I also joined not long ago. So, let's take care of each other!" Resma smiled as she grabbed Aria's hand."Yes, let's do that," Aria smiled as they both talked and went to find Aria's class first.At the entrance gate,"Hmm, it looks like Aria already made a friend. Now I don't have to worry about her too much," Aarav noticed Resma and Aria, walking hand in hand while talking with familiarity."Huh, did you say something, my lord?" Astrid asked, as she wasn't paying attention while answering a phone call."Nothing... let's go!" Aarav shook his head and sat in the back seat before Phia started the car and left.Today, they are going to meet a talented individual in Crystalbrook City.Harbor Multinational Pharmaceutical Company,"Wow, this is
............Ethan Harbor wasn't surprised, just raised his eyebrow. He guessed they might know about its ingredients, so he contemplated before gesturing towards Aarav, Phia, and Astrid."Sure, please follow me," Ethan led them out of his office to the research lab where they conducted various experiments with different ingredients and formulas.As they entered the research lab, Aarav, Phia and Astrid were met with a hive of activity. Inside the bustling research lab, scientists in their white lab coats were deeply immersed in their experiments, while others analyzed data on glowing computer screens. The lab itself was vast, with rows of lab benches stretching out, each packed with cutting-edge equipment and tools.In the heart of the lab, a tall figure stood out. He wore a lab coat adorned with the company's emblem, marking him as the captain of the research team. With a commanding presence, his sharp eyes scanned the room, overseeing the ongoing projects."Ah, Captain Reynolds, w
............"How much would it affect a normal person's body?" Phia asked with a curious tone, eager to understand the potential impact."What do you mean by 'normal person'?" Ethan Harbor glanced at her strangely, as if questioning whether he looked abnormal."Haha! I mean, what kind of changes does it have on you!" Phia laughed awkwardly before rephrasing her question."Oh, actually, the effects are similar to before, but this Sevaeleat is not just a drink anymore; it's a Divine Elixir made from the Divine Herb," Ethan Harbor said, his eyes gleaming with newfound excitement as he looked at the bottle."In just one sip, it increased my resistance to diseases and made me feel like I've regained my energy from all the exhaustion I was feeling from work!" Ethan explained the effects he felt on his body.Luckily, there were ten servings prepared from the one Divine Herb, so there were still eight left."That's not all it can do; it also enhances the body's natural healing capabilities,
............"Good, you can go back and busy yourself with your work. I won't disturb you further," Ethan nodded and dismissed her so she could focus on her previous tasks.After Dr. Li left the office, Ethan pushed the box towards Aarav, politely offering it to him. They then discussed the details of what kind of herbs Aarav needed and how many of each.Aarav had Astrid and Phia help him make the list while he mentioned the names.After handing over the list and finalizing the details, they took their leave."What time is it, Phia?" After leaving the company building, Aarav settled down in his seat and asked Phia, noticing the position of the sun indicating that it was already half past noon."Hmm, it seems we need to pick up Young Miss before going back home," Phia replied, checking the time."Alright, let's go pick her up, Phia!" Aarav nodded, gesturing to Phia to start the car. Astrid also settled down, having safely stored the wooden box in the trunk.Back to the Ethan office,
............"Sigh... these petty criminals. How many times do they have to try these stupid stunts!" A priest emerged from the shadows, sighing as he looked at the man sprawling on the ground before grabbing his leg and dragging him roughly, as if he were carrying baggage."Step... step... huff... huff... Ahhh, thanks, man! You're a lifesaver! You saved my skin; otherwise, I wouldn't know what to answer at today's meeting!" Another priest emerged from the inner part, running and out of breath. He expressed his gratitude to the priest who had just helped him."Humph... we need to increase their punishment. These bastards seem to be getting more and more rebellious," both priests muttered before heading into the deeper part of the mine."Phew... isn't this getting dangerous? Just yesterday, when that criminal was escaping, he injured an uncle from our neighbor. He's still in bed recovering from the injury," a few young boys talked about the incident that happened yesterday in hushed t
............"Haaa... greetings, Father Deniel. We are happy to hear your praise!" The Holy Battle Mages, upon seeing who the robed man was, immediately put away their weapons and saluted him before greeting him.The robed man turned out to be Archbishop Deniel. As for why he appeared there, the Holy Battle Mages squad was confused, but they didn't question him. They understood they were not in a position to question anything from an Archbishop, who was above everyone except Pope Aurelius himself."Keep doing your best. I will be on my way as I have some business in Lion Mouth Mine. And make sure to keep it a secret that I came here, alright?" The Archbishop gestured to them to return to their duties. He also asked them to keep his visit a secret. Though the squad had many questions, they obediently nodded and went back into hiding.The Archbishop covered his head again and walked into the mine. This time, he flicked his staff and activated a stealth spell to avoid being noticed by
