Amanda Lockhart was a young woman of breathtaking beauty. Amanda possessed a certain charisma that, in the opinion of many, made her appear lovely even though her beauty did not match Miss Theresia Smith's. It comes as no surprise that there are just two persons in Accomont City who are regarded as the most beautiful angels in the entire city. Theresia Smith, the daughter of the well-known Smith multinational family, is the first, and Amanda Lockhart is the second. A young man's nice looks count for something if he could have a chance to date any of them, even if it's just for an afternoon snack or a cup of tea. This was an accomplishment for the well-known young men who were Accomont City's aristocrats' ancestors. But in this instance, Taylor, a young man who also resided in the town, never seemed to be aware of this unspoken guideline among the Accomont Town young masters, who are the offspring of conglomerates. CEO Zack Lockhart peered at his stunning niece Amanda with a gleam
Taylor looked around warily as soon as he heard Amanda Lockhart's voice quiver, as though she was experiencing a mixture of anxiety and rage. He caught sight of David Michel from the corner of his eye, moving at a steady pace approximately fifteen steps from their reserved table in this upscale eatery. David's face had that seductive charm all over it again. His smile was always sneaky and dumb at the same time, despite his good looks. To Taylor's surprise, women were enthralled with David at all times.Amanda said, "The girl's name is Melissa," almost like she was issuing a warning. "She's the daughter of CEO Erricson.""CEO Erricson's daughter?" With a tone of surprise, as though he had just heard something unexpected, Taylor repeated the name.Taylor's gaze gradually shifted in order to track the person strolling beside David. The woman appeared extremely ostentatious for an ordinary lunch. Everything about her appearance, including the silk dress and the diamond necklace around 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
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
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 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
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
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
