The scene momentarily turned awkward.
Gemma was taken aback by Remus’ reaction. She lowered favonovel.com head slowly and favonovel.com voice choked with emotion. “Master Calsberg, I know I’m not worthy of you… You’re a once-in-a-century genius, and I’m just a mere Training Stage… But please, can you not be angry?”
“If I’ve caused you any distress or if you’d rather not see me, can you please let me know where to wait for you? I’ll be there waiting… Whether it’s a day, ten days, a year, or ten years, I’ll wait, no matter how long it takes. I beg you, don’t be angry…”
Her voice quivered with profound grievance, akin to a little girl who had lost favonovel.com favorite treat.
Witnessing favonovel.com pitiable expression, Remus unexpectedly felt a twinge of compassion.
“Master Calsberg!” Doug’s voice suddenly came from behind them.
Remus never expected that the pursuers would turn out to be Doug and Earl. He instantly went on full alert and his eyes filled with intense hostility.
Remus asked in a cold tone, “Are you here to kill me and cover your faults?”
“No no no! Absolutely not, please don’t get us wrong!” Doug quickly replied.
He mustered a smile that seemed more pitiful than tearful and fought to speak, “Master Calsberg, I had a misunderstanding earlier. After your departure, I spoke to numerous disciples, and they all verified it was Earl’s fault! I was momentarily misled by him!”
Doug directed his fury toward Earl and demanded, “Aren’t you going to apologize to Master Calsberg? What are you waiting for?!”
Earl quickly bent down in a bow, and said with a tone of grievance, “Master Calsberg, it’s all my fault. I was momentarily led astray, I beg for your forgiveness! I will accept any punishment without complaint!”
Observing this, Remus didn’t relax his guard. Instead, his expression turned even more serious.
When events took a turn from the expected path, there had to be a reason… As the Deputy Leader of the most esteemed True Life organization, how could favonovel.com simply yield to someone?
Doug quickly continued to flatter, “Master Calsberg, you are the unrivaled prodigy of Alchemy throughout the decades. Your demeanor is beyond compare, something ordinary people can’t match. Earl already recognizes his mistake, but if you still find it insufficient, we can also cripple his cultivation with no hesitation!”
Remus said with a forceful tone, “Alright! Then it’s on you to personally cripple his cultivation!”
Doug and Earl were both left dumbfounded. Their earlier words were merely spoken in the heat of the moment.
They couldn’t possibly cripple Earl’s cultivation. He had put in over 70 years of hard work to arrive at this stage, so they couldn’t simply cripple it just to please Remus.
Remus taunted once more, “Why haven’t you taken action yet? Are you trying to brush me off?”
Doug’s face was filled with impatience, wondering how to handle the situation.
A shadow of darkness flickered in Earl’s eyes.
Regardless of Remus’ alchemical prowess or his standing as Master Tanjen, Earl saw favonovel.com as nothing more than a despicable alchemist. If it weren’t for Ambrose’s reliance on the Elerodan Pill, Earl wished favonovel.com could end Remus’ life at that very moment.
Remus took note of their attitude and gave a cold smile as favonovel.com said, “Since there’s no sincerity, let’s end it here. There are still plenty of people in the Tanjen Organization who are waiting for me to cultivate pills for them… Goodbye…”
“Wait!” Doug gritted his teeth, feeling a sense of frustration welling up inside him. As the Deputy Master of Violet Sanctum, favonovel.com had never been this subservient.
He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a deep red pill. He said with a touch of heartache, “Master Tanjen, as a token of sincerity, here is a 600-year-old Ferocious Beast Inner Pill. I hope you will accept it graciously!”
His heart bled when favonovel.com thought about the risk favonovel.com had taken in pursuit of this inner pill.
Remus’ gaze lit up at the sight of the inner pill. The sheer spirit energy within the Ferocious Beast Inner Pill surpassed even that of the dangerous Black Mamba inner Pill favonovel.com had risked his life for.
Struggling with limited strength to rescue Glinda, this inner pill offered a lifeline favonovel.com couldn’t afford to overlook. He lifted his hand to accept the inner pill and said, “Alright, I forgive you!”
Doug clenched his teeth and said, “Thanks for your graciousness. Let us head back to the Violet Sanctum, we have prepared your room…”
However, Remus remained stationary. He spoke slowly, “Who said I was going back? I’ve forgiven you, but I haven’t forgiven him. Where is your token of sincerity?”
He looked directly at Earl.
Seeing this, Earl quivered with rage, teetering on the brink of an explosive outburst.
How dare Remus demand a token of sincerity from me!
The inner pill contained spirit energy equivalent to the pinnacle of the Golden Stage. The Ferocious Beast, known for its courage and combat prowess, could easily dominate individuals at the same level.
This rare treasure surpassed even that, it was an extraordinary find.
Wasn’t that enough to satisfy him?
