Chapter 382 - Peace was Never an Option I (2/2)

He thought that this would be the last place the Sect would come looking because of their involvement with the Lopus Family's Young Master's death.

This place was also away from the Lopus Family's main headquarters making their number thin. This place was mostly occupied by small villages that pay tribute to them and nothing more.

However, the situation suggests the opposite of what he had hoped.

[Because of the Abyssal Demon's appearance, they sent people here to check… Master is currently incapacitated and they don't seem to recognize me so I just have to bear with it.]

He wanted to keep his wits with him, the young Leo wished to become a man so that the Lopus Family would not be able to get anything out of him, yet a boy would always be a boy.

Without anyone needing to look too hard his face detailed what he was feeling, anxiousness could be seen on the young boy's face.

”Please, do not be alarmed, we are not here to cause you any trouble. Like I said I am here to thank you and your master. Ah, I heard your Master was injured after fighting with several Beyonders on his own, this man with me is Alchemist Jiru, we can have him look at your Master's situation.”

This member before him had a square jaw and a scar going down his left eye. The other two behind him looked like a lackey and a doctor. As to why Leo knew it was a doctor, the insignia of the Alchemy Tower was inscribed on his clothes.

[A Rampaging Phoenix carrying a black and white sword and a single star… he's actually a One Star Alchemist?]

Seeing this, Leo lowered his head saying, ”Ple-please do. My master is over that room.”

”Alchemist Jiru, if you could please?”

”Yes, I understand.”

Leo was prepared to stand up and lead the way, but Alchesmit Jiru simply raised his hands.

”You need not stand young man; I can find my own way.” Alchemist Jiru did not bother having Leo stand and lead. This Alchemist could see that the young man's injury had yet to heal completely.

Alchemist Jiru entered Wang Ling's room silently.

Seeing this, Leo was now assured that Wang Ling would be okay.

Anyone could call themselves Alchemist, create a pill, and slap yourself with the title. If you work in some backwater then becoming a local alchemist was enough,

However, those who wish to rise through the ranks and gain fame, fortune, money, and respect, then they must join the Alchemist Tower.

As for the Alchemist Tower, Leo did not know much about it but from what he heard its reach span all across different worlds. It was an organization that could eradicate a world.

There were talks about its leader's flames strong enough to refine entire worlds to pills if she wishes to. Leo did not believe such boasts but the fact remained they're a power beyond imagination.

With such an organization behind them, the Alchemists who gain a star would be respected no matter where they go.

They were so revered that many practically worship them.

[If someone like that looks after my Master I'm sure everything would be fine–]

BOOM!

The walls suddenly collapsed, and everyone saw a young man holding the revered Alchemist by the neck.
