The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 10
“Have a wonderful night, Jeffrey.” Rita smiled at him, waved, and drove off.As she drove back to her mansion, a whirlwind of complex emotions brewed within her, all thanks to Jeffrey.After spending just a day with him, she had begun to develop positive feelings toward this man who, by a stroke of fate, had found his way into her life.Powerful, skilled in the art of medicine, quiet, respectful, and cloaked in an aura of mystery, he piqued her curiosity in ways no man had before.He seemed flawless. Well…except for being married to a trashy wife. But they were divorced now.At the same time, Rita felt a certain strangeness within her. Her bracelet had been giving strong signals upon meeting Jeffrey, but now...That reaction had faded, as if it had never happened in the first place.Instinctively, she reached and touched the bracelet on her wrist, confused by the situation. Without another reaction, how could she be sure Jeffrey was her destined fiancé?After a few minutes of thinking

“Jax, how could you be so incompetent? Why is Jeffery still alive and well? I’ve given you too many chances, and clearly, you’ve started taking me for granted. I will not tolerate another failure next time! Do you hear me?”Without wasting a second, Aadam vented his frustrations into the phone as soon as the call connected.No response. A vein nearly popped on Aadam’s forehead as his anger surged.“You fucking bastard! Answer me this instant, or I will break—”“Excuse me,” a strange voice interrupted Aadam’s tirade. “Jax Decker is currently indisposed. He suffered a severe illness last night and is being treated in the hospital. I am his doctor, and he won’t be able to respond for the time being.”Aadam was stunned. “That’s... alright. Could you please give him the phone? I have an urgent matter to discuss with him.”He was irritated by the unfortunate coincidence.He had spent almost five hundred thousand dollars employing Jax to turn Jeffery into a cripple. But now, as if karma were

When Rita returned from the restroom, she found Jeffrey standing near the dining table, his gaze locked on the bracelet she had placed there. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes betrayed a storm of emotions.“Something wrong?” Rita asked lightly.Jeffrey tore his eyes from the bracelet, his jaw tightening. His mind was racing. His father’s words echoed loudly: When two Philosopher’s Stones meet, you will inherit the supreme legacy. But if you are unworthy, her family will ensure you live comfortably, nothing more.This was no ordinary bracelet. It was the counterpart to the Philosopher’s Stone he carried—the final key to his destiny. And Rita, of all people, was his fiancée.Rita crossed the room. “You seem lost in thought. Is it the bracelet?”Jeffrey's throat tightened at Rita's question, but he kept his tone steady. “Where did you get this bracelet?” he asked, his voice measured, though his heart raced.Rita tilted her head, studying him for a moment before answering. “It w

Rita opened her eyes again, her expression thoughtful. “Wait,” she said abruptly, stopping her secretary mid-note.The secretary hesitated, pen hovering over her tablet. “Ma’am?”“Keep Whitmore Industries on the list,” Rita said, her tone calm but deliberate. “In fact, make sure a personal invitation is sent to Cora Whitmore.”The secretary blinked, confused by the sudden shift. “Are you sure, ma’am? I thought you wanted to blacklist them.”Rita’s lips curved into a faint smile, though her eyes remained cold. “I’ve changed my mind. I’d like to see how things play out.”Rita leaned back in her seat, her thoughts shifting to Jeffrey. The upcoming banquet would be the perfect stage to uncover whether Jeffery was still hung up on his ex wife.“Also,” Rita added, “send some necessities to Jeffrey’s villa. Make sure he has everything he might need.”The secretary’s confusion deepened. “Ma’am, I know it’s not my place to intrude, and my advice might make you angry, but…”“If you’re aware tha

Jeffrey held the secretary’s sharp gaze, refusing to back down. “I don’t care what you think,” he said firmly. “Rita has been nothing but kind to me, and I consider her a good friend. I’ll stand by that.”The secretary’s lips curled into a smug smile. “A good friend, you say? Do you even know who she is?”Jeffrey frowned. “I know enough.”The secretary laughed lightly. “Clearly, you don’t. Let me enlighten you. Miss Stirling isn’t just anyone. She’s the princess of the Stirling family—the most powerful and influential family in the capital. She is the most beloved granddaughter of the Stirling family patriarch and, of course, his heir.”Jeffrey’s eyes widened slightly, the revelation hitting him hard. The Stirling family? The name was legendary, synonymous with wealth, power, and an untouchable status that placed them far above ordinary people like him.The secretary noticed his reaction and pressed on. “So you see, a nobody like you trying to get close to someone like her? It’s laugh

Jeffrey opened the door, his brows lifting in surprise. Standing there was Rita, a slight smile gracing her lips. Beside her stood the secretary from earlier, her expression guilty as she stared intently at the ground, avoiding his gaze.“Rita,” Jeffrey said, “What brings you here?”Rita’s smile widened, “Is that how you greet your landlord, Jeffrey? Shouldn’t you invite me in?”Jeffrey blinked, a flush creeping up his neck. “Of course. Please, come in,” he said quickly, stepping aside.Rita entered gracefully, her presence filling the space. The secretary hesitated, her gaze flicking nervously between Jeffrey and Rita. The warm exchange between them clearly unsettled her.Seeing Rita’s friendly demeanor toward Jeffrey, the secretary’s shock deepened. Her earlier disdain now seemed misplaced, and a wave of regret washed over her. Without a word, she lowered her head in apology, unable to meet Jeffrey’s eyes.Jeffrey noticed the gesture but said nothing, his attention drawn back to Rit
The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 16
Rita’s thoughts swirled as she silently constructed a business plan in her mind, envisioning the possibilities that Jeffrey’s serum could unlock. She was so engrossed that she barely noticed Jeffrey calling her name. “Rita?” Jeffrey’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She blinked, realizing how long she had been quiet. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she looked at him. “Sorry, I got lost in thought. You know, Jeffrey, you’re quite the versatile man. It’s hard to believe someone like Cora could let you go.” Jeffrey’s expression tightened briefly, but he maintained his composure. “Cora and I… we’re different people now.” Rita tilted her head, her curiosity evident. “Do you still have feelings for her?” Jeffrey shook his head immediately. “No. The person I cared for doesn’t exist anymore. Cora became someone materialistic, someone who only saw value in wealth and status. She filled her life with malice and resentment, especially toward me. I can’t love someone like
The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 17
The next day arrived quickly.News of the Stirling family’s grand business banquet filled every corner of the corporate world. Yet, Jeffrey couldn’t have cared less. His thoughts were elsewhere—focused entirely on how to rise to the pinnacle of success.Sitting at the small desk in his villa, he scrawled notes and diagrams on a sheet of paper, his mind racing with ideas. He knew his beauty serum business with Rita was a solid start, but it wasn’t enough. Not if he wanted to truly stand above the rest. He needed more—a broader vision, something that would make him untouchable.His pen hovered mid-air when his phone buzzed on the desk. Jeffrey frowned, the vibration pulling him from his thoughts. He reached for the device, his expression shifting to shock when he saw the caller ID.Mr. Kelvin.Cora’s father.Jeffrey stared at the screen, feeling mixed emotions.Mr. Kelvin and Daphne, Cora’s younger sister, had been the only two in Cora's family who treated him with genuine kindness.

After realizing that the other advanced alchemist was already dealing with Kimiko, Jeffery immediately rushed towards Yuri who was seated on the ground and tapped him on his acupoints, blocking his mana instantly. This way he wouldn't be able to heal and escape no matter what.He then turned to Rita and said, "I need to see how Kimiko is doing. He's fighting against an advanced alchemist and I don't think he's going to hold out for long."Rita nodded and said, "Go along. I'm behind you.""No," Jeffery said as he grabbed Rita and carried her. "I'm not going to leave you here. You're coming with me immediately."This was because there could be more assassins hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike. He couldn't allow Rita to be endangered no matter because he had already made a promise to Mr. Stirling. He had to protect his daughter no matter what, even if his life was put on the line.The moment Jeffery grabbed and carried her, a warm feeling immediately spread
CHAPTER 97
Without even been hit by Sasuke Kimiko could feel his the blood in his entire body boil from the attack. It was as if his blood has turned into acid, trying to melt his skin. But then he didn't allow that to stop him from dodging the fist aimed at his head, dodging in another direction. But he was very slow for Sasuke who immediately kicked his back with his right foot.The impact of the kick sent Kimiko flying into the air. He then crashed to the ground with a loud thud, rolling across the ground for some seconds before coming to a stop near a fountain."You think you can suddenly defeat me because you've spent some time with Jeffery?" Sasuke said as he walked towards Kimiko. "You think you've suddenly gotten the boldness to suddenly defeat me? You're nothing but an idiot if you think that's the case!"With those words Sasuke immediately lunged towards Kimiko, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him into the air. This caused Kimiko to choke but there was nothing he could do because
CHAPTER 96
The advanced alchemist who had been tasked with killing Kimiko couldn't help but scoff when he saw him take a fighting stance. This was because he felt this was absolutely futile. He was already an advanced alchemist while Dan Kimiko was only a professional alchemist. Even if he was one level higher than Kimiko, the gap was too big. He would be able to crush him without even using his full strength!"I think you should know by now that there's nothing you'd be able to do," the advanced alchemist said as he walked towards Kimiko who was already bleeding. "I'm way powerful than you, Kimiko."When he said this he raised his face so that Kimiko could see who he was. And it was at this moment Kimiko recognized the advanced alchemist, his eyes widening in horror. This was because he knew this advanced alchemists very well. He was one of the few renowned advanced alchemists in Japan. He was even among the top twenty alchemists in the entire Japan! He was none other than Yuri Sasuke!"Now tha

A few minutes ago.Kimiko was still standing, watching over the surrounding just like Jeffery had asked him to do. Several times it crossed his mind to escape but he decided against it. It wasn't because he was afraid that Jeffery would retaliate against him if he escaped. No, that wasn't the truth.The reason he didn't leave was because he felt that he could have so much opportunity to grow with Jeffery. This was something he had not felt when he was with his master and it was really strange. Although Jeffery still had not mentioned anything about alchemy to him and had just created a potion to cure him and Javier, he was still optimistic that he would be able to grow.Hence he decided to remain and watch the surrounding, immediately waving the thought of escaping from his mind. He had already given his word that he would remain as Jeffery's bodyguard and he was going to do so no matter what."Master always wanted me to remain a professional alchemist," Kimiko told himself. "I'm not

When Jeffery told Rita that I was a master alchemist she was still confused. She didn't understand what he was saying because she had not heard of an alchemist before. She could only stare at Jeffery, waiting for him to explain things to her."You've heard about alchemists in books, right?" Jeffery said. "You should have also heard about them in real life, right?""I've definitely heard about them," Rita said. "But I don't understand how you're an alchemist."When Rita said this Jeffery couldn't help but narrow his eyes. This was because when he told Rita that he was a master alchemist, she didn't show shock. Instead of been shocked she showed confusion. It was as if she already knew that there were supernatural things in this world but didn't know that there were people who had supernatural abilities.And it was at that moment he remembered the bracelet Rita used to always were in the past. He had been so occupied in his work that he forgot that she stopped wearing it for a long peri

The powerful punch connected with his face, causing all his teeth to fly out instantly. Blood came spraying out of his mouth as his jawbones were broken instantly. The pain he felt at that moment was strong enough to cause him to pass out but he didn't. This was because a strange energy had seeped into his body, stopping him from passing out on time.What kind of opponent is this?! he thought within himself as he widened his eyes, looking at the figure who was standing before him. By now the wind which he summoned had died down. Only the flames of fire which was burning the dining room remained. His entire body was already burning from the fire but there was no way he could escape from the fire.He tried to manipulate the earth element and undo the spell the figure in front of him had used against him, using every mana he had left in him. But no matter how he tried he could not pull off any spell that could destroy the diamond which kept him in place. It was as if this diamond keeping

As the chandelier fell towards Rita who was lying on the ground, Jeffery immediately kicked his feet off the ground and dived towards her. He then spread out his arms like an eagle, floating through the air like a weightless piece of paper. And before the chandelier could crash onto Rita he swooped her off the ground, missing the chandelier by a couple of inches.There was a loud crashing sound as the chandelier fell to the ground, shattering into several shards which flew here and there. Jeffery had to block the incoming shards with his body, shielding Rita who would have gotten stabbed by those shards. He would have used his abilities as an alchemist but he didn't do so. This was because Rita was yet to find out that he actually had supernatural powers. Hence he used his body instead to shield her from the shards of glass which were flying here and there.And by the time everything stopped several shards were already lodged within his body, blood trickling out from the wounds. Rita
Chapter 91
That evening Jeffery was invited to the Stirling family villa again to have dinner. This time Mr. Stirling was not around because he was away on a very important trip which Rita didn't tell him about. So it was just Rita and him at the dining table. Javier remained at his villa while Kimiko remained within the vicinity of the Stirling villa to look out for potential assassins.After offending the Prescott family so many times, Jeffery felt it was finally time for them to retaliate and he knew they were going to do it no matter what it takes. And he knew that they would definitely go after everyone who was affiliated with him, especially Rita Stirling. Hence he decided that Kimiko stood on the lookout for assassins. And as a professional alchemists he felt that it wouldn't be hard for Kimiko to do his job. Except of course the assassins sent were all advanced alchemists then Kimiko would be able to take care of all of them without him having to interfere at all.It was at this moment t

After seeing that Jeffery slapped Paul everyone was shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. They had thought that Paul Prescott was untouchable but just right now a young man slapped him! They couldn't help but wonder if this young man really depended on the Stirling family or he had some power of his own. This was because even the Stirling family wouldn't do something like this."You..." Paul tried talking but his mouth began to hurt intensely and he couldn't help but cough, spitting out blood as he staggered backwards. Right now it seemed as if he had been slapped by a spanner and not a human hand. It was absolutely painful and not something he could bear at the moment.The cops who had been knocked down by Jeffery picked themselves up and immediately got to his side. The sergeant immediately said, "Jeffery Flamen, you're under arrest for assault—"Before the sergeant even finished what he was saying Rita stepped in front of Jeffery, glaring at him. As she did this she thought with
