Chapter 580 - Tit For Tat (2) (2/2)

Rhode faced the senior and nodded slightly “No problem, Master Dasos But I do have a request I hope that I can be around with her during the interrogation in order to prevent any s”

“There’s… no problem with that” Dasos was rather hesitant when he heard Rhode’s suggestion However, the situation wasn’t advantageous enough for hih the senior seemed to be in a difficult position, he was actually soeous for Rhode to stay behind during the interrogation, he could use this opportunity to sound out Starlight’s attitude If Rhode pointed fingers of bla his authority, this ht without any doubts If Rhode reallyhis subordinate, then the possibility of this being just a coincidence would be lad to see it happen

However, even though Dasos was mentally prepared, he was still astounded when he h the Teleportation Door She seems about 16 to 17 years old and a little, innocent child… Is she really capable of concocting that alchemy potion?

“S-Sir Rhode…!” Lapis felt immense pressure on her shoulders as soon as she spotted the Alchemists She clasped her cloak nervously and turned to Rhode with tears rolling down her cheeks Lapis had no idea what happened before teleporting to this place She even thought that Rhode had decided to abandon her to the terrifying Alcheht, Lapis, don’t be so nervous,” Rhode gestured and said “The Alcheate about the potion You know that you’re the only one responsible for concocting the alchemy potions in the Guild, so don’t be nervous I asked you here to answer their questions and I don’t intend to chase you away or punish you Alright, relax I’m around, so they won’t dare to h of relief and turned to the Alchemists simultaneously with flushed cheeks Lapis had always been bashful and after displaying a blunder to the outsiders, she felt even more embarrassed However, she kne important this matter was and she cal special that orth ation process With Rhode around, the Alcheressive Besides, Lapis was also being truthful Initially, she was concerned that she would be punished for concocting a potion for an outsider privately, which hy she was that nervous and cautious However, she revealed the rare calm side of herself before the Alchemists and she was even a little furious If it weren’t for you people froot e

Lapis had no intentions of hiding the truth because it was just an ordinary job for her The Alche lady had the advanced skills to complete the poison where even an Alche it successfully Initially, Dasos thought that Rhode had paid lip service and randomly picked Lapis to fill in the spot But he realized that this ti lady actually answered his difficult alchemy questions easily, ones thattiotten the information about the recipe from Lapis which was extreain allowed this senior alcheh there werepoisoned, he realized that this ht

The interrogation ended swiftly without any hiccups

Dasos verified the young lady’s skills and a fresh idea popped up in his head “Miss Lapis, I would like to receive your help for so”

“I-I…” Lapis tensed up immediately

Once bitten, twice shy After she had been duped by the people of the Alchemist association, she instantly entered her nervous mode whenever anyone fro lady took two steps back frightened before turning to Rhode and looking back at the senior Dasos was caught between laughter and tears by her behaviors However, he let out a bitter laugh and sounded his request

“Through your descriptions, we learned that you’re innocent in this incident, Miss Lapis But I know you’re aware that the poison is very haret rid of No h to concoct the poison, could you please concoct the antidote for us?”

“I…”

Lapis was a little hesitant while Rhode let out a soft cough Even though Rhode didn’t respond, Kasos understood what he meant Shortly after, the senior unrolled a wide s the antidote will be really tough I will provide you with the materials that you need in order to complete the antidote Our Alchemist association will do our best to provide the materials for assistance”

“If that’s the case…” Lapis’ eyes gliaped ie its spots As she was about to agree, Rhode let out another cough and interrupted Then, he stood up and held his hand on her shoulder while looking straight at Dasos “Master Dasos, I respect everyone here, but I have some objections”

“Please speak your mind, Mr Rhode,” Dasos kept the smile on his face and displayed a stern expression He knew that this young man wasn’t easy to deal with at all

“It’s siuess you’re aware now thatyour Chairman She merely complied to the request of someone in your association to concoct a bottle of potion and our Starlight has nothing to do hatever happens to the potion Don’t tell me that you will find trouble with the bladesed to kill someone?”

“That…” Dasos was left speechless However, Rhode wasn’t graceful enough to give theestured and continued “That’s why I’ that ‘It is up to her to make up for her mistake’ Even if the bottle of potion was made by Lapis, she doesn’t have the call as to what it is used for If your people used it to water the plants, wouldn’t there be no problem at all? So, this isn’t the responsibility of my subordinate If you wish for her to concoct the antidote…” Rhode paused and gazed at Dasos proudly “You will need to pay the corresponding reroup of Alcheed bewildered looks with one another They didn’t expect this youngThey thought that they were being polite for not finding trouble with theations They didn’t expect that he would take advantage of their kindness Not only did he deny his responsibility, but he also requested for the Alchemist association to pay him for it!

This is ridiculous!

A few of the Alche up against Rhode… Indeed If the things that happened were as Lapis described, the responsibility didn’t fall on her even if she was the one who concocted it Most importantly, if they insisted that Lapis was responsible for the antidote, wouldn’t it mean that they were implicated with it as Alchemists too?!

Dasos forced out a bitter s man wasn’t easy to deal with and the so-called remunerations perhaps would bleed out the association But now, he had no other choices “Alright, I agree with your opinion, Mr Rhode Let’s get down to the details”

Knock knock knock! As Rhode and Dasos were about to enter the next stage of the discussion, there were sudden loud knocks on the door Rhode twitched his brows curiously and said “Co open and Joey panted his way into the drawing rooroup of Alchemists and he smartly dashed toward Rhode to whisper into his ear “Boss, the bunch of Alcheood”
