Kerry gulped. She tried to rebel but failed. Hers was gripped firmly by the stranger's hand, as though it were a mechanical clamp that defied release."This, this... who are you?" Kerry's expression turned pale. Her body felt weak, and her hand hurt. Something inexplicable was emanating from the recently arrived stranger's physique.If you read the description of this new arrival, it would be obvious that he was Hollowscar. After Hollowscar had knelt and worshipped Taylor, after they'd been defeated and handed a deadly liquid that was to be taken every week, Hollowscar had formally assumed the role of Taylor's shadow. Taylor tells Hollowscar to return and watch for his father, Robert, when he leaves to get some personal stuff.Meanwhile, Laura, Kerry's friend, appears to quickly turn away upon seeing Hollowscar, who exudes a menacing aura. Laura still had an air of haughtiness about her, though."Release Kerry. You have no idea about her identity or current situation."Laura sounded u
Robert McGill looked quite smart that evening. His former nice looks returned right away. Robert McGill was naturally attractive, so his rich man aura returned with a little refinement in his wardrobe.Taylor said, "I'll give you a ride in my car."Robert McGill said excitedly, "Of course you can!" in response.At this time, Robert never again accompanied Taylor and Libby to the estate because he held the McGills in the highest regard and wanted to reclaim his position as their son.Logan, his father, thought Taylor and Libby were sons of bitches, and he detested them too much.Taylor's mother, Christina, was Logan's secretary. She unexpectedly became pregnant, which resulted in Taylor's intended marriage to a Brenton City tycoon's son. Robert had no choice except to accept responsibility and wed Christina.A few years after Taylor was born, Robert's father was banished from the family due to allegations of embezzlement. They were then impoverished and lived in a cheap apartment.Chri
Taylor left for the Jade Resort that day right after breakfast.He interviewed his father, Robert, for more than thirty minutes, but he was unable to get any information. Even though it was kept a secret, Taylor could tell by the expression on Robert's face that his father was disappointed that he would not be receiving the status boost that the impoverished man had been longing for.Taylor parked the M8 BMW and made his way to the foyer of the resort.He received an invitation to become a member of the Smith Group as an alchemist entrusted by chairman Jacob Smith. This specific black membership card has a plain design and isn't much more elegant than a premium membership card, let alone a premium one.A minimum of $500k is required as application fee for this by-invitation membership. But in this instance, Theresia Smith offered David the membership card by invitation at no cost. The lifelong membership was free for him.Taylor was one of the maximum ten members of Accomont who were
Sarah was horrified to learn that the card she had torn apart was actually a unique membership card from Lilian, the front desk worker.She was first worried that she had done something wrong.But Sarah clinched her teeth as she saw Taylor grinning mockingly, as if she were waiting for the audience to throw her punishment. She approached Lilian to comfort the girl after becoming enraged."Impartment by invitation only? That sort of membership—what is it? This is my first encounter with it. This has to be a mistake. You ought to check, Miss. Is the card real or is it a phony one?"Sarah was met with frowns from Lilian and the crowd at once."Seriously, this old lady doesn't know there is a membership by invitation at Jade Resort?""Don't certain well-known, extremely private clubs only let in the most esteemed attendees who have been invited specifically? Is this a refined lady, madam? Or is she merely acting wealthy?"Sarah needed to talk to Lilian immediately. She appeared to be atte
Exhibit halls and introductions to the newest medications and traditional medical procedures are provided by large pharmaceutical industry conferences. There would always be a master or specialist in this subject after studying with professors whose identities one did not want to know. Many wanted to purchase the god pills being auctioned off at the time, but no one could get in contact with the strange young man. Thankfully, access is currently available through auctions, thanks to Smith Pharmaceuticals. As the wealthy frantically bid for the chance to win the god pill auction, Taylor, leaning against the wall, grinned slightly. This time around, Taylor gave only five pills. "Hand them over to me! Right now our young master lies sick. He's just a short time away from receiving a lifeline thanks to these wonderful drugs! Please present our Lewis Family Company to the public." Thomas Lewis saluted the four directions with a bow. The Lewis Family held the top spot on the top ten lis
Retaining the medicine, Thomas Lewis intended to demand a return of the auction profits in the event that Daniel Meng was able to assist in the Young Master's recovery.Daniel Meng's icy tone echoed. "There's no need to hunt for those worthless tablets! All of the substances are garbage that you could buy at a roadside drugstore, as I have already confirmed."Furious as he was, the things had to hold together so that the deposited money could be reimbursed.Thomas Lewis fell on his knees in adoration at Daniel Meng's divine physician mannerisms."Master, tell me when you get a chance. Right now, my nephew is ill with liver failure. It's too late to even consider surgery. Master, please provide me instructions so that I can use your ancient divine healing to heal my nephew. Regarding the compensation matter, you don't have to be concerned."Kissing the ground, Thomas Lewis reverently regarded Daniel Meng as a sacred statue. The holy Physician held the key to all of his hopes. He even a
"What happened?""Damn... did God Physician Daniel Meng make a mistake?""This is truly an absurd incident!"Daniel Meng's face instantly turned ugly.The youngster he had just treated with silver needle therapy suddenly showed a worsening condition, not improving as he had hoped. "Where did the silver needle technique go wrong just now?"Daniel Meng's mind worked so quickly that he immediately unrolled the acupuncture needles in his hands, now getting ready to perform the therapy again."I hope it works this time." Isn't failure in medicine often the case? And this is what is called 'Terminally Ill.'Daniel Meng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had found an excuse if this Martin Lewis were to die.Although no one was paying attention, Daniel Meng couldn't help but feel his hands trembling as he continued the needling therapy. The writing had moved, appearing to tremor slightly."Stop!"Everyone was stunned.The young man who had been idly watching suddenly spoke up. Suddenl
Uhuk!Martin Lewis has never coughed that loudly before. The young master spat forth a black clump of blood mixed with a yellow liquid, shocking everyone. Awful!Everyone fled for cover as a repugnant odor began to spread. Things got out of control.Horrible! That scent is the worst I've ever witnessed!""Is this Martin Lewis going to die?""The young master of the Lewis family never heard another cough till that one. How unfortunate!"The Jade Resort hallway room had a full air conditioning system. Naturally, the pus-filled, black blood clots soon spread across the room. Many people puked from this awful smell.Everyone believed Martin Lewis had passed away."Has he not endured enough suffering in this world? He can escape the misery of this life only by dying!"Thomas Lewis's face became as white as paper in the meantime. He yelled out in panic.Alchemist Lord, what took place? What's wrong with our young master?"Aside from worrying about the fate of his young master, Thomas Lewis
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
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
