The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 32
Jeffery bid Rita farewell, offering her his arm for a brief stroll through the manor grounds. The night air was cool, crisp, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant flowers. They spoke little, but the silence was comfortable. When they reached the gates, she hesitated, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she simply nodded. He returned the gesture and walked off into the night.By the time he arrived at his own manor, the warmth of the evening had faded. He loosened his tie, shrugging off the tailored suit with relief. The fabric had felt stifling all night. A warm bath came next, the heat soaking into his muscles, easing the tension in his shoulders.Afterward, dressed in simple, comfortable clothes, he settled into his study. The room was dimly lit, the only illumination coming from the flickering lamp beside him. He had intended to meditate, to delve into the alchemical inheritance carved into his mind, but his thoughts lingered elsewhere.Rita.She had stood u

Silence lingered, stretching between them. Rita’s fingers traced the edge of the phone, her mind spinning. There was something about Jeffery's response that unsettled her—and intrigued her.She had expected resistance, doubt, even hesitation. But instead, he had accepted the challenge without a second thought.“You’re brave,” she muttered, her voice soft.Jeffery’s chuckle came through the line, warm and self-assured. “It’s just who I am.”Rita felt a strange heat rise in her cheeks. She didn’t expect this from him. Boldness like that was... unexpected, and oddly attractive.She cleared her throat, forcing the thoughts away. “It’s going to be dangerous, you know.”Jeffery’s reply was instant. “Doesn’t matter.”Her heart skipped a beat. She could feel the intensity of his words, and it caught her off guard.“You’re impossible,” she said, attempting to regain control.“I can be,” he teased.Rita took a breath, steadying herself. “I believe you.” Then, after a pause, she added, “But you

Rita stood by the doorway, arms folded, watching Mr. Prescott clutch his abdomen. The pained expression on his face, contorted with agony, was a rare sight—one she hadn’t expected to witness so soon. Jeffery’s diagnosis had come true faster than she’d anticipated. Prescott had barged back into her manor, his steps unsteady, before she’d had him seated on the couch.A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. “Back already?” she remarked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Looks like you’re in pain. What happened to you, Mr. Prescott? You didn’t seem to have any trouble when you left.”Prescott ignored her jibe, his face twisted in discomfort. “Please, Rita,” he rasped, his voice strained. “Call your private doctors. I need help. Fast.”Rita’s smirk deepened. Her satisfaction was palpable, a quiet victory settling in her chest. She’d been waiting for this moment, and now it had arrived. Still, she didn’t intend to give him the satisfaction of receiving help from Jeffery, not when the man

Prescott's breathing grew shallow, his face twisted with agony. "Where is he?" he asked, his voice trembling with desperation.Rita shot him a cold look. "Calm down, Prescott. I'll call him now."She pulled out her phone and dialed Jeffery’s number, but as they waited, a faint ringing echoed from the living room. Rita turned toward the sound, her eyes narrowing.There, on the couch, lay Jeffery’s phone—its screen flashing with each ring. He had gone out without it."Unbelievable," Rita muttered under her breath, frustration creeping into her voice.Prescott’s discomfort intensified. His vision blurred as the pain surged, and he yelled in hysteria, “Find him! Now! He’s the only one who can help me!”Rita sneered, the edge of her words sharp as she spoke to the driver. “Go find him, then.” Her gaze flicked back to Prescott, her voice cold. “This is your fault. If you’d listened to Jeffery’s warnings before, none of this would have happened. So stop blabbering in my face, and let me thi

Before Jeffery could respond, the driver stormed forward, his face twisted with frustration."Where the hell have you been?" the driver barked, his voice echoing through the room. "Do you even know we’ve been waiting for you all night?"Jeffery’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing into thin slits. Rage simmered beneath the surface, but for Rita’s sake, he swallowed it down. His voice was flat, controlled."I had something to deal with."The driver scoffed, undeterred. "What? Did you spend the night at some brothel? Is that what was so important?"Jeffery’s glare snapped to the driver like a whip. The room seemed to darken, the air growing heavier. His eyes, sharp as blades, bore into the man.The driver’s voice died in his throat. His bravado crumbled instantly. In his mind, Jeffery’s figure had grown—taller, broader, more imposing. Beads of sweat formed on his brow, his face turning pale as fear gripped him.He stumbled back, mouth snapping shut, trembling under Jeffery’s piercing gaz
The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 37
Silence hung like a blade in the air. Prescott’s face burned with humiliation, his breath ragged as pain gnawed at his insides. He staggered, gripping the edge of a table for support, his fury simmering beneath the surface.His bloodshot eyes snapped to Rita. "This—this is the kind of person you support?" he spat, his voice hoarse with rage. "A man with no respect, no value. A thug in disguise! You stand there, watching, like he’s worth something? He’s nothing! Just a worthless bastard who should be groveling at my feet!"The insults spilled out, each word sharper than the last. But Rita didn’t flinch. She simply stood there, arms crossed, her expression blank save for the faintest flicker of irritation in her eyes.When Prescott finally ran out of breath, Rita’s lips curled into a slow, cold smile."Are you done?" she asked quietly.Prescott’s face twisted with rage, but before he could respond, Rita stepped closer, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor."Let me correct
The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 38
Prescott sat on the cold floor, his breath steady now, but his mind in turmoil. The echoes of his own insults rang louder than the silence around him.“A worthless bastard… a thug in disguise…”His own words felt like shards digging into his pride. He’d been a fool—blind, arrogant. The memory of Rita’s sharp gaze, her calm disdain, sliced through him harder than any pain he’d felt moments ago.He sighed, his shoulders sagging. “She was right,” he muttered bitterly “Damn her foresight.”Jeffery’s skill wasn’t just impressive—it was terrifying. The kind of ability that defied logic, almost supernatural in its precision. A man like that wasn’t someone to insult. He was someone to respect… or fear.The thought of reconciliation crept in, unwelcome but necessary. Only a fool would walk away from this without trying to fix what he’d broken.Prescott stood, brushing dust from his trousers, and raised his hand to knock on Jeffery’s door. His fist hovered mid-air, hesitation freezing him. He
The Ascent of Jeffery Flamel; Restoring Alchemy's Legacy CHAPTER 39
Jeffery turned from the window, his expression blank once more, the faint smile gone as if it had never existed.He crossed the room, his focus shifted back to the task at hand—a small, meticulous operation laid out on the polished table.A jade-colored bowl sat at the center, filled with a faintly glowing powder. Several small, polished molds were neatly arranged beside it. He picked up where he’d left off, refining a new batch of pills he’d named Vireon—a name that hinted at vitality and resilience.The process was simple but effective. A blend of rare herbs, mineral extracts, and a stabilizing compound of his own design. When ingested, Vireon worked subtly, enhancing the body’s natural healing mechanisms. It strengthened the immune system, accelerated cellular regeneration, and improved overall physical performance. Not a miracle drug—but close enough to be invaluable in the right hands. It didn’t just ward off disease; it fortified the body’s defenses, making illness less li

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
Chapter 94
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
Chapter 92
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
