Rowan was gripped by panic. The scene unfolding before favonovel.com shattered the boundaries of his understanding, overturning his lifetime research on alchemy.
He asked in a frantic tone, “How is this even possible? What method did you use? How can a first-grade pill possibly surpass a top-grade one? How?”
He felt an urgent need to understand the method, given how profoundly shocking the situation was.
Oden and the people behind favonovel.com also looked over, all in a state of panic. They had hoped that Remus would fail to provide the pill, forcing favonovel.com to refine pills for them for the rest of his life as a means of revenge against the Tanjen Organization.
Remus spoke calmly, “If you’re wondering why these pills have such extraordinary effects, the answer is rather straightforward. It’s because I’m the one who refined them.”
Rowan trembled and spoke urgently, “Because it was refined by you? What does that mean? Explain it more clearly!”
Remus stated with an impassive expression, “You can interpret it as the pills crafted by everyone else in this world belong to one hierarchy, while the pills I produce exceed that hierarchy. Your standards of judgment can’t evaluate my pills!”
A wave of disbelief swept through the crowd. Remus’ words exuded a level of arrogance and disdain toward all other alchemy cultivators, bordering on outright contempt for their methods and skills.
However, the fact was right before their eyes. The first-grade pills favonovel.com had refined undeniably surpassed the supreme top-grade pills in terms of efficacy.
Rowan was poised to retort, but favonovel.com found himself rendered speechless as if a fishbone was lodged in his throat.
Remus didn’t linger on favonovel.com and shifted his attention to the others, declaring, “Each of you will receive 50 pills, and after today, any ties between us will be severed. However, before you get the pills, kneel and offer your apologies to Ms. Cosby! Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave this place!”
His expression suddenly became icy cold. His prior promise of providing them with the pills would have been fulfilled regardless of who they sided with. However, they had pressured Glinda, and they had to pay for it.
The expressions of those present drained of color, leaving their faces visibly pale in response to Remus’ stern demeanor.
Without a moment’s hesitation, one individual promptly knelt and pleaded, “Master Calsberg, I acknowledge my wrongdoing, and I’m fully aware of my mistake. I no longer desire the pills, you can’t sever our connection!”
“I was manipulated by Oden’s persuasion, enticed with promises of becoming a member of the Crimson Valley Organization and receiving the teachings of the Crimson Divine Whip. But now, I‘ve come to understand my mistakes. Please, forgive me!”
He revealed the truth without hesitation, confessing that favonovel.com had held a firm belief that Master Calsberg would never be capable of producing such a vast quantity of replenishing pills. He intended to seize the opportunity, thinking favonovel.com could compel Master Calsberg to work for him.
The others swiftly followed suit, dropping to their knees in remorse.
They pleaded, “Master Calsberg, we too recognize our mistakes. We were blind to your capabilities and underestimated you, never conceiving that your skills would surpass our understanding! We were too narrow-minded, please don’t break ties with us!”
Another individual added, “I don’t want my pills either, not a single one. Master Calsberg, you can’t cut ties with me!”
Given the situation, even a fool would know how to choose.
With Remus effortlessly refining hundreds of replenishing pills that outshone top-grade ones, his favor held far greater value than the pills themselves. After all, replenishing pills were merely supplementary pills.
However, a favor from Remus could potentially encompass all the pills one could ever need.
All of them knelt, their pleas earnest and heartfelt.
The last ten individuals who had initially stood up were now consumed by regret. They had missed a lifetime opportunity to offer timely assistance to Master Calsberg, and their momentary lapse of judgment had transformed them into traitors, resulting in significant losses.
“Oden, you wretched old man, you’ve led me to this unfortunate end! If not for you, I wouldn’t have betrayed Master Calsberg at the last moment!”
“You’re truly despicable!”
“Oden Irving, why don’t you just disappear? Master Calsberg, I deeply regret my actions!”
Every single individual who had requested the pills knelt and openly confessed their mistakes.
However, Remus said with undeniable clarity, “A single act of betrayal renders you worthless for a lifetime. Take the pills and get lost!”
