Chapter 41: Level 1 Potioneer (1/2)

”How much time would it take?” an impatient and arrogant voice of a female sounded in the Potion Hall.

”It's already been a long time since he entered to meditate. I think it should be time.” Elora held her rage and replied. Hicka stood behind her, sighed in relief. He was afraid that this Little Boss would lose her temper and do something that would turn the situation worse.

”Do you know how many people want to meet with me?” Zelie said. ”It's your brother's honor that I came here myself. But this is how he treats his guests?”

Elora had the urge to scratch that hateful face of Zelie. Who the hell asked you to come here anyway, damn bitch? She suppressed all her curses inside her heart, noticing Hicka's pleading expression.

”It's really a bit careless of Mister Kadyn. Even if he don't respect us we won't mind, but...” a man sitting on a couch glanced at Zelie and sighed regretfully that even a blind person could tell was fake.

”Yeah, we came here with such good intentions, and he is making us wait. That's a bit...sigh,” another man occupying a different couch also criticised Kadyn. He wanted to continue, but then he glanced at Elora and fell silent. He had already achieved the result he wanted.

”That's enough!” Zelie said and stood up. ”We'll check it out ourselves!”

Both the elders of the Palius and Irabel Family curled their lips in triumph. So what, your father's the leader of the Magic Association's branch in Avibria City? We can still control you with just a few words as we want. Both of them exchanged glances and a deep rivalry flickered inside their eyes.

In Avibria City, three forces were the strongest. Palius Family—whose leader was the Mayor of the city. Irabel Family, the richest family in the city due to their flourishing business and the last was the branch of the Magic Association.

Obviously, the Magic Association branch was the strongest, but they rarely interfered in the matters of the two families. However this time they have found a talented individual like Kadyn. How could they remain neutral and let others snatch him away from them?

So to hire Kadyn all the three strongest forces sent their people here. Other families had no chance to compete with these giants, so they didn't even bother, afraid that it might irritate these people.

”Mr Ephrais Palius, and Mr Sho Irabel,” the old man that sat beside Zelie silently all this time, finally spoke, staring at the two elders. ”You two are quite reputable individuals. I never knew that you enjoy playing the pig to swallow the tiger.”

”What are you talking about, old man?” Sho Irabel said with a little discomfort, sensing the old man's hawk-like eyes, exchanging glances with Ephrais Palius. Neither of them knew who this old man was.

They thought he came just to protect Miss Zelie, but now they were having other thoughts. This old man doesn't look like a protector type. Instead he suddenly gave them a terrible pressure that only their leaders could exert on them, turning their expression confused and sluggish.

”You can pretend all you want,” the old man went on with his flat voice. ”But remember to not forget your limits or you won't even realise when your head left your body.”

The duo trembled when they saw a threatening gleam in his eyes. The old man turned towards Elora and said. ”Though they were just trying to incite a little fire among others, they aren't completely false. It's really been quite some time. Lead the way.” The old man stood as he said.

”Even Grandpa Yel is bored,” Zelie said. ”What are you waiting for? Lead the way!”

”Yes, yes, I'll take you there.” Hicka heard the cracking sound of Elora's knuckles and said hurriedly. ”Please, sir.” He glanced at Elora helplessly and led the duo. However other two people didn't move, remaining frozen on the same spot.

”Gra-grandpa Yel? Was that Potioneer Yel?” Ephrais Palius asked with his trembling voice.

”We-we tried to con Miss Zelie in front of him,” Sho Irabel said. ”Do you think he will come after us?”

”I-I don't know,” Ephrais replied with a pale face. ”But I don't think he would make things difficult on us afterwards. After all he's a majestic Spell Caster and level 1 Potioneer. Would he stoop low enough to make things difficult on us? If he wanted to kill us, he could have done that with a swipe of his hand.”

Sho nodded, and the duo stayed no further, scuttling out of the shop as soon as possible.
