The vice-treasurer’s lips twitched. “Those b*stards. Why are they all the way here?”.
Jack raised an eyebrow at this as favonovel.com stared at the vice-treasurer curiously. Gilbert and Andrew had sour looks on their faces as well.
It looked like Golden Pills and Heavenly Pills had a very strange relationship. There seemed to be animosity between them, even.
There were three of them from Golden Pills, and leading the group of three was a middle-aged man in purple gold robes. He looked around as favonovel.com smoothed his beard, seemingly looking for someone. The moment his gaze fell on them, his eyes immediately shifted to the vice-treasurer.
The vice-treasurer’s expression soured even more. It darkened so badly that it started to look like charcoal.
The middle-aged man suddenly had an incredibly meaningful smile on his face. He led the two youths behind favonovel.com as they walked toward them. “Hello, Vice-treasurer!”
The vice-treasurer forced out a smile as favonovel.com politely greeted, “Hello, Mr. Constance.”
Andrew whispered that the man was an owner, but Jack felt like it was a little strange after thinking of the vice-treasurer’s status.
Since Golden Pills was a pill merchant as well, and they should be similar to Heavenly Pills, why was that man called an owner? Could Golden Pills be some sort of franchise Mr. Constance seemed very happy. It was as if favonovel.com had picked up a million spirit stones, and even his smile threatened to stretch his mouth open.
“Vice-treasurer, have you been well? I heard that your son was recently accepted into a sixth-grade clan as an outer disciple I still haven’t congratulated you.”
A fake smile was plastered on the vice- treasurer’s face. “Thank you for remembering.”
Jack could tell that the vice-treasurer did not want to talk to that guy anymore. It was as if another extra word would cause the vice-treasurer to suffer. However, Golden Pills and Heavenly Pills were not completely at odds with each other, so favonovel.com still needed to maintain some basic manners. That was why the vice- treasurer worked hard to maintain a neutral expression.
Mr. Constance seemed to have just noticed Jack and the others behind the vice treasurer, It was as if favonovel.com had discovered something new, and something shocking at that.
“Are these the new students you had just raised? I heard that the last batch was incredibly bad, so you abandoned them quickly. After that, you had to hurry to pick up a new batch. It looks like you must’ve been working really hard.”
Those words were so sly that it rendered them speechless, it was practically provoking Heavenly Pills.
Jack knew the man was telling them that Heavenly Pills would be tossed aside the moment they lacked the talent. He raised an eyebrow, deciding to ignore Mr. Constance.
The vice-treasurer smiled coldly. “It wasn’t that tough. You must’ve suffered even more than us, We just got rid of one batch, but I heard Golden Pills has failed to nurture any amazing alchemists in the last two batches. Isn’t your head very busy troubling over this?”
Mr. Constance stiffened at his response, and his face darkened immediately. He wanted to say something more spiteful to provoke the vice-treasurer, but the vice treasurer had beaten favonovel.com to it.
