Chapter 991: Completion Of Pills (1/2)

Davis, who sat on the spectator's seat, looked at the stage. The pill concoction had already begun to take place after the ingredients have been all brought out by the participants. However, his concentration wasn't on that but on Immeth Alstreim's actions.

However, he couldn't help but smile in derision a little.

Almost everyone here was a fucking rat! They schemed behind other's back and seemed to have little sense of morality behind their actions.

He cast a glance at Nora Alstreim and couldn't help but sneer at her in a derogatory way.

'Master like subordinate...'

Both of them were backstabbing bitches! Yet, they dared to behave like they were pure, wanting to have a moralistic life while pursuing the peak of cultivation.

Truly, women do know how to play the victim instinctively. If he hadn't seen this, perhaps he would be sympathizing with Nora Alstreim's and Immeth Alstreim's plight, but for the latter, he had already seen through her with the Karma Threads. He knew that Immeth Alstreim was trying to make use of him, but to think that it was for revenge against the ones who used her, he didn't expect that.

He felt that it was more along the lines of trapping him with her body in the behest of her Young Mistress Nora Alstreim, but it seemed like it was her own doing...

Did that mean that she was truly trying to secure a strong man and fortune by having him as her man?

A jade digger?

'Still... Who was that person at last? Father...?'

'Mother didn't say anything about such a person...'

Davis frowned in contemplation before he eyed Nora Alstreim.

'Wouldn't I just know by asking Nora Alstreim for the answer but considering that those two were so secretive despite being father and daughter...'

Davis narrowed his brows, 'Are they hiding their relationship?'

He felt that it was plausible, but for what reason?

He shook his head and leaned towards the front as he heaved a breath.

”... Only thirty of them managed to find the right ones, but those ingredients...” Dalila Leehan suddenly smiled before she cast a look at Alchemist Davis, ”If you are capable, you must know what is wrong with those ingredients, no?”

Davis blinked, wondering what he did to deserve this... He felt that he shouldn't have sat here. He cast a look at the stage to observe again as he really hadn't paid attention to the uniqueness of the ingredients.

”If you do not know, just say that you don't kno-”

”Just shut up for a moment...”

”You!!!” Dalila Leehan looked shocked by his response.

Her expression fell as she became angered. She was just about to retort before she got interrupted.

”Two of those ten ingredients are of the two opposite nature, and when thrown into the cauldron, their percentage should be accurately balanced. Otherwise, it is possible for the whole concoction to fail. Moreover, if their cauldrons were not above the Low-Level Sky Grade, it is possible for that their cauldrons to explode from the ignition of the two ingredients counteracting each other when they are not perfectly balanced.”

Dalila Leehan's expression became disoriented. She knew that it was her fault that she instantly tried to put him down, but she wasn't able to stomach being told to shut up like that. She felt her face slightly burn up in humiliation.

Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth, and gracefully continued, ”That's right. This is also a trap that is set up for the unsuspecting alchemists who have never known much about the combination of these particular ingredients before.”

Davis simply nodded his head, and Dalila Leehan leaned back with a hateful expression on her face. However, her expression also looked a bit aggrieved.

Who other than her Top Pill Disciple Seniors dared to treat her like this? She found it not one bit to her liking, but as a woman, she knew that she could not behave unruly as she was at fault for trying to tease him.
