At the same time as the party at the McGill family residence, in a different place and at a famous bar in the city, Alok Bar and Cafe, Taylor was seen chatting with his team. The team consisted of Simon McGill and Hllowscar. Some pretty girls were also seen accompanying them, adding to the fun atmosphere.One of the girls who stole the attention was Anne. Now, Anne has transformed into a stunning model. She looked gorgeous in an ethnic dress designed by Alleya, a talented local designer. The dress was designed with great care and professionalism, making it perfect for a tall and slender girl like Anne. The shimmering beads that covered the dress made Anne look like a shining star in the crowd of Alok Bar and Cafe.Meanwhile, another equally attractive girl is Daisy. Daisy is a professional working at Icrocast Company, a digital pharmaceutical company owned by Taylor himself. Daisy's presence added dynamics to their conversation, making the evening even more memorable.In each person's
The Queen's Eyes.To get to Mount Sinai Hospital, Taylor ran. He had called her from the hospital, informing her that his sister Libby was ill. Libby's condition appeared critical, but there was no reason or diagnosis.Taylor muttered, "The cost of staying here must be expensive," as she gazed at the building that represented the cutting-edge, contemporary Mount Sinai Hospital. Should we take Libby to a nearby medical facility?"The Taylors were not wealthy. Robert McGill, Taylor's father, worked as a taxi driver for Online Jazz Enterprises, facing challenges due to the rarity of customers during tough times. Instead of opting for the expensive Mercedes-Benz E-Class, people preferred walking or taking the metro.Robert found himself idle more often than driving, burdened with bills for electricity, water, and their modest apartment rent. A decade ago, Robert, a renowned entrepreneur in Accomont, was ousted from the McGill Company, leading to his separation from Sandra. Despite this, h
Taylor panicked when he saw the stone artifact disappear and left only a mark on his hand."Why should I have this kind of tattoo on my hand? If they see this strange symbol tattoo, people will think I'm something else!"Recently, certain sects and orders have emerged in Accomont City. These groups are primarily scammers who like to trick tourists visiting Accomont City. These groups have been labeled as scammers by many people.Taylor regretted the tattoo on his palm as the voice echoed in his mind."Your first assignment is at level zero. Place a bet on any sweepstakes, in the amount of one thousand dollars! Look forward to exciting prizes."Taylor was wide-eyed. She could not believe what he was hearing. Taylor was not an Orthodox believer who forbade betting and gambling in any form to generate wealth—but betting the remaining money in hand? Later."After tricking me with an old stone that ended up with a strange tattoo on my palm, now you want to trick me into spending the rest o
Taylor spoke to the motherly-looking nurse, pale.He attempted to appear unhurried. This has to do with the $200,000 lottery winnings. The name Taylor McGill is mine. Kindly give my sister an additional hour to make her deposit."Taylor vanished from sight in front of Kerry Lim, the nurse.Kerry called out to him from the end of the hallway, "Young man, what's the name of your sister? I'm not a psychic who can guess the name of your sister, please.""Libby! "Libby McGill!"The form of Taylor disappeared entirely at the confluence of the hallways.Kerry was lucky to have good hearing. At Taylor's request, she would halt the deposit payment made in Libby McGill's name. Kerry's thoughts changed after she saw Libby's status update. Her expression shifted, and she extended Libby's deposit suspension by three hours.++++Taylor arrived at the Dragon Gate Shop gasping for air.Now, the foreign woman had transformed into what appeared to be an Asian outfit. She didn't see Taylor at the door, s
He touched the image of the bag out of curiosity and discovered an unopened package inside.As Taylor touched the envelope, he mentally heard the bot say, "Congratulations! You've got an umbrella now! [Accept or reject?]Taylor paused. How does one use an umbrella? Is it raining when I walk? What an odd present.The bot's voice spoke once more while he was still considering his options: "You can keep the present in the bag if you choose not to use it! Should I accept or reject this system gift?"Taylor doesn't hesitate, despite having a disability. I will always accept gifts of any kind. "I will definitely take the present. Simply store it in the bag."A distinct noise was heard, and Taylor noticed that the only thing on the lengthy list of bags in the system was an umbrella.Taylor opened her mouth to ask a question, but the bot cut her off.Taylor's expression changed to one of annoyance at not always being able to ask inquiries.[Every system task has been finished. We can discuss
Taylor rushed out of the Dragon Gate Shop, heading for Mount Sinai Hospital. Kerry was the second person he was going to treat Today.In front of the administration desk, after waiting for an hour, Taylor was finally relieved when Kerry accepted the lunch invitation."I only have an hour.""I'll pick a nearby restaurant, don't worry!"Taylor and Kerry had lunch at a European restaurant just a few blocks away from Mount Sinai Hospital. Besides saving time, the food was delicious.Taylor held his breath as He paid at the cash register. "2,500 dollars for this quality meal! Next time you visit, I'll show you something even more special." The cashier smiled kindly as Heswiped Taylor's ATM card.Taylor kept smiling even though his heart was choked up. He didn't want to look unprofessional with a moping face during the transaction. Always smiling politely and gracefully, Taylor seemed like a kind-hearted person."You are a very generous and charitable, young man," Kerry said as she hugged T
The sky was clear that night without a black cloud hanging over the horizon. Taylor whistled happily, feeling proud that he had successfully overcome all his challenges. "What will the system give me this time?" he muttered, walking down the street steadily.Taylor could have opened the screen on the way to see the reward the system gave her, but he preferred to wait until he got home. "I want to enjoy this gift in peace," he thought with a satisfied smile.At 11 pm, Taylor arrived home. As planned, he went straight to the bathroom, letting the warm water envelop his body despite the chill in the air. "This thick blanket will make me forget that it's actually cold!" he said with a smile.After his shower, Taylor couldn't wait to experience the system's gift. "System, please open!" he ordered.The screen lifted, and Taylor saw words congratulating the system."[Please open the inbox, and you will be surprised]," the message read.His heart skipped a beat as Taylor ordered, "Open the ma
Waiting is the most boring thing ever. Taylor paced the street in front of his girlfriend Grace's house restlessly. Phone calls went unanswered, and the deadline the system had given him was fast approaching.Indeed, Taylor's relationship with his girlfriend was not good. They were only in touch through phone messages. Grace even refused to pick up his calls if Taylor made a phone call. At best, he would reply with a short message."I'm busy! Please don't bother me for a while!"But tonight was important for Taylor. Break up with Grace, gain power from the Nine Heavenly Path Technique's AI intelligence, or continue dating in uncertainty. Meanwhile, Taylor's dreams are big. Getting revenge and defeating McGill Industries was a big dream for her.A car with a thumping exhaust could be heard as the Mazda MX-5 Miata pulled up in front of Grace's house. The squeal of brakes could be heard, piquing Taylor's curiosity."Tomorrow we'll do it all over again, baby. What you just did to me, it w

Questions from the visitors caused the environment to become boisterous after Edward Morse left the McGill family celebration. They were all curious as to what had caused CEO Erricson to abruptly call the well-known Alchemist. Austin himself even came to take Edward up.At first, the true reason Edward Morse and Austin left was unknown. However, within the opulent McGill family party hall, murmurs started to surface, and rumors swiftly spread. Edward Morse had a person standing near to him. He lifted an ear to listen in on Austin and Edward's talk."It appears that CEO Erricson is experiencing intense rage! "It appears that the renowned Alchemist made a significant error." The attractive middle-aged woman, who always had a wine glass in her hand, was whispered to by a woman dressed in a long dress that reached her ankles. It seems like they were both getting wasted.The middle-aged woman with the low-necked dress, who was trying to draw attention to her sagging cleavage, widened her e
It was a fact that Joseph Hodges was enthralled by Taylor's painstakingly detailed notes on the winemaking formula. The fermentation needed for their basic pilot studies was far less than that of most wineries' typical procedure. It took only hours to ferment using Taylor's recipe, which is an amazing accomplishment. Following his admiring taste of the fermented flavors, Joseph Hodges exclaimed, "This is a wonder of the world that I've only encountered once!" With a deep respect and curious expression, Joseph Hodges stated, "I don't know what the secret behind this is, but the recipe you gave me triggers the Saccharomyces cerevisiae to work rapidly." Joseph Hodges shakes the white liquid, takes a gulp, then shuts his eyes. It's quite smooth, although the alcohol content is significant. He exclaimed, "The taste is comparable to a comparable product from a reputable company that has been aged for five years." Joseph Hodges said, "With all due respect, Miss Amanda, I am very impresse
For someone who was about to become wealthy, like Zack Lockhart, it was simple to set up a food or beverage factory. The company's wine production activities were simple as long as a business license was secured. Zack Lockhart, the CEO and third richest person in Accomont City, controls a substantial amount of real estate, encompassing anything from homes and stores to grand office buildings. Finding a structure to house a factory is therefore not difficult. A number of structures were identified as factories that were not utilized in the growth of Lockhart Pharmaceutical. Furthermore, all of the factory's equipment—which is mostly used to produce drugs—was readily available and just required to be installed in accordance with the requirements and operations of the facility. On the third day following the meeting with Amanda Lockhart, there was a phone call. With a slight smile on his lips, Taylor gazed at the call on his mobile phone screen. "Amanda Lockhart?" he asked himself in
Callum Ma did not show any symptoms of giving up when the Electric Power Stick was aimed at him. Throughout the entire Accomont City, he was regarded as a crafty, sly, and ingenious young master. After all, he had often escaped the jaws of death thanks to his cleverness. He was looking at the flare of electricity at the end of Simon McGills' stick at this critical moment, trying to figure out how to get out of his jam. Still, he doesn't realize that where he is right now is like an egg waiting to be smashed against a hard stone. Simon McGills is an unforgiving man. Simon McGills was a cruel guy, despite his outwardly refined appearance. He had studied the art of pouring tea, which needed a high level of artistry and noble character. He would not think twice about exacting retribution on anyone who had harmed him or his family. Following his breakup with Mrs. Lana McGills of Awrossa Town, Simon harbors hurt and resentment toward everyone he has never let out. Currently, the only in
The ambiance of the Purnama Coffee Shop on the corner of Accomont City abruptly shifted when every customer fell silent. Nothing could be heard, and the air appeared to freeze. They had all been berating Taylor loudly earlier. They declared Taylor to be a fraud who never had his degree from the Pharmacy Institute. Still, he presented himself as an alchemist. They contended that it was nonsensical for Taylor to go up against Edward Morse, the Awrossa City Alchemist with an A rating.In the meantime, Callum Ma, who appeared to be passing out after losing a wager against Simon McGills, was not. Callum Ma orchestrated this entire deception in order to deceive others around him.Callum Ma stepped quickly in quiet. He called his father's plastics company's security personnel in case of emergency. He typed a covert message that said, "Dangerous situation," with his heart racing. Someone is trying to kill me and is threatening my life. Someone please come to the midst of the city, Warung Kopi
Simon McGills' face turned angry when the crowd insulted Taylor. "How could a young kid from a bankrupt home become an alchemist? He was later expelled from Accomont University and never finiHed his education at the pharmacy department there. One of the patrons at the coffee shop made fun of someone by saying, "You can't make up stories that don't make sense!" "If it's true that Taylor, the son of Robert McGills, is an alchemist, then show me proof of one of his creations that has gained notoriety in Accomont City," said another. I'll stake you $20,000 on Taylor having no achievements at all and having duped the CEO of Lockhart Company into accepting his word!" a young man spoke with assurance. Callum Ma was the name of the young man. Callum Ma was the youthful apprentice of a prosperous Accomont City plastics manufacturer owner. Still, his parents' fortune was not enough to place them even in the second-richest class, let alone among the top ten richest people. His father was stil
The day following Taylor and Amanda Lockhart's furious altercation, a Lockhart Pharmaceuticals representative was hustling around the Accomont Municipal Office. With serious expressions and intense focus, they handled a variety of private corporate letters and permits, almost as they were doing a challenging problem. The Lockhart Company's operations were undoubtedly observed by other businesses, particularly the Erricson Company. The business community in Accomont City had started to believe something was being prepared ever since the Erricson Company hired an Alchemist from Awrossa City to work directly under CEO Abraham Erricson. The expectation in the city seemed to resonate through the air. "Hi, Ma'am Manager. I recently seen a Lockhart Company officer enter my workplace. It appears that he is handling a company's licensing. To you, is this news significant?" The voice on the phone was that of a spy. Whereas Manager Ma worked as a manager at Erricson Pharmaceutical Company, he
David Michel and Melissa Erricson exited the opulent and esteemed Asian restaurant after their meeting. The room's atmosphere instantly returned to its previous warm and inviting state; it no longer felt as hot and strained as it had when they were still there. But Taylor could see right through Amanda Lockhart's apparent earnest attempts to keep a composed demeanor. A wave of restlessness washed over her, and a foggy cloud continued to loom over her face, suggesting that she might still harbor anxiety. When Taylor saw this, he sympathized. In an attempt to ease any ice that might still be a touch stiff, he grabbed the initiative right away and began discussing the project he would be working on with the Lockhart Company. "Miss Amanda," Taylor remarked in a kind and gentle voice, "I'm thinking of a fresh notion, one that the Erricson Company might not have considered in its partnership with Alchemist Edward Morse. I still have my doubts, though. Is the Lockhart Company open to assis
