Gemma truly believed that Remus wouldn’t be able to leave Herbal Pavilion alive. The feud between Remus and Herbal Pavilion ran deep, and his recent actions only deepened the rift.
Remus had just humiliated Lance and even used force, there couldn’t possibly be a way out for favonovel.com anymore.
In the world of cultivators, battles frequently concluded in mid-air. If Remus were to set foot on the ground, it would signify his defeat, and defeat meant death.
As for the prospect of an alchemical duel, the Herbal Pavilion most likely would not even consider it as a viable option. They saw no need to go through such trouble when they could simply eliminate him.
“Serves favonovel.com right!” favonovel.com muttered bitterly, “I tried to stop you, even going so far as to use my sacrifice to stop you. But you refused to listen!”
Her emotions shifted from concern to scorn. “I almost gave myself to you! Now you see my worth? You shall regret it!”
With a blend of frustration and determination, Gemma rose to favonovel.com feet and dusted herself off. There was no reason to stay as Remus’ fate seemed sealed. She realized that favonovel.com attraction to favonovel.com had been more about his abilities and status rather than genuine affection.
Remus had become dispensable to her. As long as someone could offer favonovel.com everything favonovel.com desired, anyone would do.
As Gemma continued to walk, favonovel.com started to feel lost, uncertain of favonovel.com next destination. She had abandoned the mundane world to join True Life but was unable to get affiliated with an organization.
Since favonovel.com encounter with Remus, favonovel.com had been affiliated with the Tanjen Organization.
With Remus now facing a grim fate, and the Tanjen Organization likely to be obliterated, favonovel.com found herself unable to return there.
Wait a minute…
Gemma suddenly stopped in favonovel.com tracks, muttering to herself. “I’m currently the first person in the entire True Life who is aware of Remus’ death. Moreover, everyone within the Tanjen Organization recognizes me, and they think that I’m his lover…”
Could I possibly arrive at the Tanjen Organization before the Herbal Pavilion does?
Could I inherit the Tanjen Organization?
With this idea taking root in favonovel.com mind, Gemma’s blood began to surge with determination. If favonovel.com could inherit the Tanjen Organization and subsequently offer apologies to the Herbal Pavilion on their behalf, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com might be able to leverage favonovel.com status effectively.
As long as I can win Herbal Pavilion’s forgiveness and gain their support, from now on, I will be a significant figure in the Tanjen Organization!
Why rely on men?!
Gemma clenched favonovel.com fists as if favonovel.com could already see the day when favonovel.com became the pinnacle of True Life.
Courageous people live while timid ones starve. I must take this chance!
She began to accelerate, heading straight for the Tanjen Organization.

At the Herbal Pavilion, all preparations were complete. Remus and Lance stood in front of the main hall, each next to a furnace, with various medicinal ingredients nearby.
On the vast square in front of them, disciples of Herbal Pavilion filled the area.
Being the most mysterious alchemy organization, they had over 1000 disciples alone. There were also elders, alchemists, various organizations leaders, and a total of over 2000 people.
Every eye in the assembly bore a seething anger directed at Remus. If looks could inflict harm, favonovel.com would have been torn to shreds 1000 times over.
“Why is Master Walker engaging in this competition? He should simply kill him!”
“Hmph, if it weren’t for maintaining Master Hugo’s reputation, do you think he’d still be alive? This alchemical duel is just a means to silence Master Hugo!”
“How audacious to challenge Master Walker in alchemy! Doesn’t favonovel.com realize that Master Walker is the preeminent alchemist in the world?”
The disciples were all discussing actively.
Zaiden, radiating authority, announced the challenge’s conditions, “Tonight, we will compete in energy pills. Only the quality of the pills will determine the winner. Do any of you have any objections?”
Remus remained composed. “None…”
Lance’s face was filled with displeasure as favonovel.com grumbled, “None!”
Being compelled into an alchemical duel left favonovel.com frustrated. While favonovel.com remained confident of his impending triumph, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel stifled by the circumstances.
Zaiden then posed a crucial question, his voice echoing in the tense air, “Remus Calsberg, if you lose, you will end your life in Herbal Pavilion, agreed?”
Without hesitation, Remus nodded in agreement.
