Everyone felt reluctant, but they were compelled to depart.
Within a mere five minutes, the banquet hall stood vacant. Elias had contemplated offering his congratulations, but witnessing the tender exchange between Remus and Jean, favonovel.com opted not to intrude.
“Did you really refine the elixir?” Jean’s eyes were filled with admiration. She found Remus increasingly mysterious the more favonovel.com interacted with him. He seemed capable of anything.
Remus arrogantly replied, “Of course, alchemy is child’s play. There are even more powerful things I can do.”
The light in Jean’s eyes intensified, and favonovel.com instinctively asked, “What else?”
Without thinking, Remus responded, “You!”
“Huh?” Jean was momentarily perplexed, and then favonovel.com face flushed crimson.
After two seconds, favonovel.com averted favonovel.com gaze, bashfully concealing favonovel.com embarrassment.
Remus was speechless.
Why has favonovel.com changed?
In the past, favonovel.com might have said something like, “Why don’t you give it a try?” and then brushed off his words… After all, this place is a hotel, providing the perfect opportunity…
Enduring the company of a beautiful woman all day was truly challenging!
Jean strolled leisurely toward the exit, steering the conversation elsewhere. “Was it Working Emperor Adam who instructed you to acquire this hotel? He mentioned a long time ago that favonovel.com had high hopes for the hotel industry. I never imagined favonovel.com would begin laying the groundwork while in prison. He’s truly a visionary.”
Remus expressed his disappointment, saying, “It has nothing to do with him. I bought it of my own accord.”
Jean smiled and responded, “Regardless of whether it’s yours or his, driving away all the guests earlier will have an impact on the hotel’s future business.”
Remus retorted, “It’s just a run-down hotel. It doesn’t matter if I don’t run it. It’s merely pocket change.”
Indeed, it held little significance for him. If favonovel.com ran out of money, favonovel.com could simply make a phone call to prison. Each person would provide a hundred million, and favonovel.com could easily accumulate several billion.
Jean laughed, “You’re right, it’s just a run-down hotel. I’ll support you in the future!”
***
On the other side.
Leonard and his group reached Skylar’s alternate residence, which currently served as Leonard’s dwelling. Timothy and Reginald accompanied him.
“Argh!” Leonard shouted and vigorously smashed the antique calligraphy and paintings in the room.
Tonight, favonovel.com was overwhelmed with frustration. As the esteemed patriarch of the Steele family in the provincial capital, favonovel.com had been humiliated by someone insignificant. It was an unprecedented disgrace.
Skylar gazed at the destruction, his heart aching, but favonovel.com dared not utter a single word.
Leonard finally ceased his destructive rampage, his eyes bloodshot and filled with menace as favonovel.com stared at Reginald. “You’re also a divine physician. Now, start refining the elixir immediately. Its medicinal effects must surpass those of Remus. Otherwise, I’ll ensure you leave Neptuna in a ruined state!”
Reginald was instantly petrified and dropped to his knees, trembling as favonovel.com stammered, “Mr. Steele, I… I don’t possess the knowledge of refining elixirs. I truly don’t…”
Alchemy refining was a skill practiced by sorcerers, and only a few doctors had mastered it.
Leonard’s anger flared, his eyes widening in fury. “You don’t know? You just claimed in the banquet hall that your medical skills surpass Dent’s. And now you’re telling me you don’t know?”
Reginald was drenched in cold sweat. “Mr. Steele, it’s true that my medical skills surpass Dent’s, but I’m no match for Remus. I genuinely have no knowledge of refining elixirs.”
At that moment, Leonard was at a loss for words. His anger intensified even further.
Had Remus learned alchemy while favonovel.com was in prison, even after undergoing the transformation?
He turned his head to glare at everyone present and angrily demanded, “You all better come up with a solution for me. How can we defeat Remus? If you can’t provide a solution, you will all face the consequences of my son’s suffering!”
Skylar and the other three trembled, fully aware of the severity of Ethan’s injuries. He had his limbs broken.
The four of them exchanged anxious glances, desperately hoping that someone would offer a solution.
Timothy was overcome with fear, as favonovel.com had thought they had a plan to deal with Remus before favonovel.com joined them. But now, not only did they lack a plan, but they also had to risk their lives.
Just then, Ben’s eyes lit up. He spoke up, “Mr. Steele, I have a plan!”
