Chapter 15, Competition and Surprise. Daisy was asked to prepare the contract by Taylor around 4 p.m. "Miss Daisy, My choice of vehicle has been made. Please prepare the contract as I am utilising the Central Accomont Bank Debit Card to make a non-cash payment." Daisy grinned broadly. This week, she was the only one to schedule a sale. Regretfully, there was a significant disparity in her sales compared to Mary's. "Mr. Taylor, I have some information for you. I take it that you're looking for the BMW M5 Competition? Taylor scowled. "M5 Competition for BMW? Well, I should have told you. I've made up my mind to purchase the M8 Competition Coupe. For me, the M8 is superior. The distinction is merely $200,000, correct? Daisy spun around and gave Taylor a wide-eyed stare. "What? M8 Competition Coupe, what is it? What, a mere twenty thousand dollar difference? Who is this guy? Is he a wealthy man's son?" "Taylor, Mr. Are you really real?" Daisy shook her voice. Things passed by qui
The financial community in Accomont Metro City was very active lately. The unexpected relocation of Matt Green, Branch Manager of Accomont Central Bank, to a remote location occurred. Though rumors abounded, nobody was able to verify why Mr. Green had relocated to this isolated location.Aaron Harrison, a dashing 45-year-old young guy who was still single, took over for him. In Accomont Town, this Aaron Smith was well-known. Being the most sought-after bachelor by young women in Accomont put him on the local press almost every day. Aaron was a young, wealthy bachelor whose exceptional good looks caused him to become the subject of media interest.Aaron Harrison's attractive face was all over the newspapers and the media just this morning. He took Mr. Green's place as a Central Accomont Bank official.Of course, Mary and her companions started going crazy. "He's so handsome." "Seeing in person, it turns out that this Mr. Harison is very charismatic and makes people fall in love!"The w
An exchange of phone calls."Hello, Mr. Taylor, this is Theresia Smith.""Oh, Mrs. Smith. Should I be taking any particular action?"Call me Theresia. Please do not call me Ms. Smith.”"Then just call me Taylor."Silence."Alright, Taylor.""Theresia, tell me what you want me to do?" asked Taylor.Actually, I'd like to invite you to the pharmaceutical conference and exposition being held by the leading medical firm in Accomont. Are you able to spend some time?"Again, quiet.Theresia felt uneasy. She was aware that someone with Taylor's level of competence in medicine normally did not want to be made public. These kind of oddballs typically make their own decisions. They thought money to be useless.Theresia was unaware. For Taylor, money was fun. Since her father's demise, Taylor has been faithfully saving money.Theresia assumed Taylor was uninterested, but suddenly there was a questioning voice on the other end."When is the Big Pharma Company Seminar, Theresia?"Theresia grinned.
Taylor drove the BMW M8 Competition Coupe into the mountains, where Brandon and Grace had left him on that fateful night. Now, Taylor called it a medicine farm.Tonight's system challenge, as a bonus, was to make a healing pill for Libby, his sister, who was lying in the hospital. The prize is very lucrative. $10 million!Taylor cursed himself for being too busy, forgetting about Libby, who was suffering from Renal Insufficiency or kidney failure.In the notes of Technique 9 of the Heavenly Path, it was mentioned that to refine the Renal Insufficiency treatment pill, special strength, and skills were required that could be performed by a C-grading alchemist. Taylor was only a D-grading alchemist, as the system had recently announced."It's fortunate that I never left the Heavenly Path 9 Technique training. Thanks to the breathing and cultivation exercises, I think my strength is enough to refine pills at grading C!"Taylor arrived at the ravine road, hid his BMW M8 Competition under a
Libby McGills is the patient in the VVIP room at Mount Sinai Hospital.Without thinking, David moved towards Taylor, preparing to gesture for Libby to spit out the tablets he had just taken.As he swatted Taylor away, he said. Taylor fell because he was unprepared for this attack."Do you really think this way? Did living in poverty cause you to become insane recently? Maybe you are so desperate from your sad existence that you believe you are a divine healer."Trying to get Libby to vomit out what she had just swallowed, David then gave her a shaking motion.Taylor went into a panic. Libby was weak right now, and his sister was obviously suffering from that action. "Go away!" Taylor was taken aback by David's behavior because he had not anticipated him being a part of the current resident visit.David watched like a cockroach as Taylor stood up and attempted to shove him away, his eyes burning.David pointed to Taylor and said, "Cold.""This Mount Sinai hospital will become a laughin
Taylor strolled to the retail center today. He parked a good hundred meters away from the city center.Taylor was invited to join Doctor Edwin for a formal supper after he made him yesterday. Doctor Jenkins claimed that the visitors came from a closed circle. They were all well-known physicians and exclusive wealthy individuals who were all invited to the doctor's visits.Taylor agreed to attend the dinner at the Celestial Hotel, reasoning that there was no harm in accepting the offer and respecting the doctor's job of healing the ill. Among the most respectable lodging establishments in Accomont was the Celestial Hotel.Naturally, Taylor didn't want to appear unimpressive. He wanted to dress decently now.++++Taylor made hia decision to purchase at the boutique of Rick Rolland, a fashion designer who specialized in menswear and was the go-to store for the wealthy in Accomont. Rolland's selection was made among the many elegant stores offering the newest styles as well as conservativ
Taylor used to be a fairly typical high school student. Despite his attractive appearance, only young monarchs, athletes in school, or wealthy people's offspring appeared to be popular.At the time, Adam's father was employed by a McGills Company branch as a small manager.Adam frequently heard tales from his father about Taylor's father, Robert McGills, and his opulent lifestyle.Adam felt a great deal of animosity towards Taylor for being a McGills family member.Adam had been watching Taylor drive a fancy car to school since elementary school. Little Adam watched the entire process with resentment until Taylor's father's meltdown in junior high school, then laughed heartily.Adam began to taunt and bully Taylor in high school. Adam became the talk of the females as he grew tall and athletic, becoming a great basketball player. Adam released all of his childhood resentment and jealously towards the teenage Taylor by becoming successful.Sadly, high school ended too quickly, and Tayl
There was tension within a well-known couture house in Accomont.Rita walked quickly over to Taylor. She exuded excitement.Rita grabbed the Black card out of Taylor's hand as soon as she saw the man her lover claimed to be the one who had conned the boutique where Adam worked.Adam had given Taylor back the card by then.Adam gave Rita a close embrace, giving the impression that they would make a good match. Adam actually pursued Anne constantly while he was employed at Rick Rolland's fashion firm. As long as she agreed to date him, he would provide her multiple chances to get paid more.Ultimately, Anne always declines, despite constant persuasion from Adam, who grows more and more attracted to the girl's attractive appearance.Rita is so enthused by this point that she can no longer recall her job title of customer care representative at Central Accomont Bank. She lacked the authority to access and confirm that the bank-issued cards were, in fact, fraudulent because she was not an
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
