When Simon heard the haughty remarks coming from the Alchemist's mouth, his expression became irate. He answered, raising his voice, "What? Edward Morse, who are you? Are you Awrossa City's Alchemist with the highest ranking? Simon let out a big laugh. Unfortunately, his voice did not reverberate because they were performing Private Oxx's outside. He whispered it softly, but clearly everyone could hear, with a frigid snort. "In the stupid embers played by a clown!" Simon laughed uncontrollably again after uttering those words. The man in the theatrical costume struck him as funny. "His all-black attire makes him look more like a magician or medicine man." However, modern Alchemists wouldn't dress in ostentatious Gothic garb like vampires at a carnival," he scoffed. "Why would the individual claiming to be Alchemist Edward Morse dress like a clown? Simon's expression changed from one of anger to one of contempt. As chilly as the night air, he snorted. He was sure that the man in
With their faces expressionless and their bodies rigidly posed, the two Erricson Company attackers were prepared to withdraw from Hollowscar. Their looks altered, though, when they met the alchemist Edward Morse's face. At that time, Morse's face appeared hazy and filled with intense rage. His face took on a withering appearance, as though it were going to collapse. He appeared very disappointed in the two assailants from the former Erricson firm, who were now lying there defenseless, and very angry at them. As this was going on, the two men who were still standing looked at one another nervously and determinedly toward Hollowscar. Their voices were scarcely heard when they murmured to one another. "Let's confront that icy dude. The worst that can happen is a broken arm or leg. Still, it's preferable to the Alchemist taking CEO Erricson to task. We might not have survived!" With accord, they gave each other a nod. Then, as they advanced swiftly to attack Hollowscar, their voices t
By this time, the night was getting late. It would soon be dawn. Edward Morse's ears rang as the night wind blew strongly while his heart trembled violently. He was very surprised when the young man, who looked like an ordinary man, had the surname McGills. "Is this true? This young man standing in front of me is Taylor McGills?" thought Edward Morse, shocked. "Is he also the so-called Alchemist of Accomont City? Why doesn't he look as mysterious and intelligent as the average alchemist?" Edward Morse's face momentarily turned ugly; he could not hide his shock.A few days ago, in a place far away from Accomont City.The day Edward Morse arrived in Accomont City, he had spent two full days studying the files of all the McGills family members. He went through every detail, trying to understand the conditions and history of this family. Who were the talented ones in the business, and who were the losers?During this time, he conducted this research inside the private library of the McGi
Taylor arrived at his lonesome home, which appeared empty in the clear morning, just as daylight was breaking. He opted not to sleep that day because He could feel the sun rising soon. "Why should I waste time sleeping?" He asked himself. I refuse to do it. The Alchemist from Awrossa that Old Lady McGills has brought in happens to be her grandson! The race has already commenced." Taylor gulped a special medication He had manufactured himself, his hands shaking. The purpose of the pill was to boost endurance so that the user could continue to be physically active during the day even if they were not sleeping. He was relieved when the tablet began to act. Taylor initially sat in his roomy office and gave it a lot of thought. He thought of Simon McGill, the man who was now working for him as a spy. "Simon McGill, he's already on my side," He muttered. I hope he'll learn some vital knowledge." He stared out the window, taking in the still-dark sight outside the home. He made a constant
At that point, Taylor exited his black sedan with assurance. He approached the two security officers watching the big gate with composure, still standing at attention. The two gatekeepers grew suspicious as soon as they saw Taylor get off and come towards them. They had serious expressions on their faces. One of them gave Taylor a sharp rebuke. "Mister! I warned the panda to stay away from me. You are not permitted to move, so stay put. Allow us to examine you. You seem like someone we should be wary of." One of the guards gave a warning, but Taylor didn't seem to hear it. He dug into his jeans pocket carelessly, feeling about for something. The two guards appeared startled by the action, though. The two guards' faces became unpleasant. "What are you intending to do?" a guard raised his voice, "Are you attempting to seize a weapon? This is not a public street, as I have stated. Please move on and find a different crossing. If we must behave rudely, don't hold it against us!" Then
It was a sunny day today. About to enter CEO Lockhart's opulent estate, Taylor was about to make his move. The riches and power that the Lockhart family held were mirrored in this mansion. Who would have guessed? There, he met Amanda Lockhart quite by accident. It was Amanda that Taylor had taken issue with. They had a major argument once. But that was in the past. Taylor initially put on a stern expression. He made an effort to appear carefree, but deep down he was anxious. After all this time, he had no idea how Amanda would take seeing him again. But this time, Amanda had a warm, friendly smile on her face. Naturally, Taylor's heart grew softer. When Taylor saw Amanda's amiable and congenial demeanor, his icy demeanor vanished in an instant. In case readers recall, Amanda was the one who once abruptly left Taylor during a scheduled meeting that CEO Lockhart had set up. Amanda was still being influenced by David Michel at the time. Amanda turned against Taylor as a result of Da
Taylor secretly wondered what CEO Lockhart was thinking when he smiled so enigmaticly. He sensed a change in the situation. For some reason, he was uneasy with that smile. "What is it? Why is CEO Lockhart appearing more at ease this time? He appears to be laughing at me even. Taylor had a lot of questions in his head. Next, he attempted to ascertain the true nature of the situation. How are you, CEO Lockhart? Taylor remarked, "Why are you smiling at me in that way?" He was still making an effort to mask his interest. CEO Lockhart said, "Has Mr. Alchemist met my niece, Amanda?" with a smile on her face. "Amanda? You mean, Amanda Lockhart?" Taylor appeared perplexed as he repeated what CEO Lockhart had said. "I have, indeed. Miss Amanda was the one who picked me up at the mansion's door earlier, right? What's the matter with her?" In an attempt to comprehend the circumstances, he re-asked. Taylor appeared even more perplexed. It was as though he was lost in a convoluted maze. Howe
"I'm an A-ranked Alchemist," Taylor said in a purposefully slow whisper. He emphasized every word to make his point and highlight how important it was. "Why should you be afraid of that Alchemist from Awrossa?" There was silence. Zack Lockhart, the CEO, was so taken aback that his ears began to ring. "What?" Zack Lockhart, the CEO, said loudly and with astonishment and confusion in his voice. He was ready to inquire further, but he paused when he heard Taylor's whisper, which was very audible. "Mr. CEO Lockhart, you don't have to worry," Taylor said with assurance in his voice. "I can take care of that Alchemist Edward Morse of Awrossa business. We've already had a meeting. We even engaged in a Qi energy power struggle, and I've come to the conclusion that his strength is still inferior to mine." At Taylor's explanation, CEO Lockhart's hair stood on end. Excitement reddened his face even more. Even though Taylor was not listed with the Association of All Alchemists in this Celesti
