Chapter 40

The obese old man suddenly turned around without warning, and his fat palm with a fierce force, slapped the thin cheek of Dagar, who was called "Intermediate Pharmacist".

The four huge gem rings on his fingers were like four sharp daggers, leaving four deep scars on Dagar's cheeks, which was shocking.

Under the old man's beating, Dagar screamed, and the whole person was thrown out like a kite with a broken string. However, he did not dare to hesitate or wail at all, and quickly struggled to get up, and stood back in front of the obese old man with his head down.

He did not dare to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. The pain made the skin at the corner of his eyes twitch nervously, and his whole body trembled, as if he might fall down at any time.

The obese old man moved his steps calmly as if nothing had happened, moved his fat body to the sofa, and sat down heavily. The sofa sank deeply under his weight, making a dull sound.

He picked up the pipe on the wooden coffee table, knocked it on the coffee table, looked around, and the sharp eyes like a vulture instantly stared at Dagar, as if to penetrate him.

Dagar trembled all over, dared not hesitate at all, and bent over and stretched out his palm.

The fat old man nodded with satisfaction and poured the embers in the pipe into his palm.

Dagar clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and held the handful of embers tightly in his palm, fearing that any of them would fall on the expensive snow-white long-haired carpet on the ground. The air was filled with a hint of burnt flesh and flesh, which made people want to vomit.

"There is no need to pay attention to those things that are on the surface..."

While enjoying the pleasure brought by the tobacco shipped from the East, the fat old man picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and tasted a sip of blood-red wine.

Suddenly, his face turned furious, and he raised his hand and smashed the half-cup of wine and the wine glass made of a whole piece of crystal on Dagar's forehead.

He roared: "You idiot! This is what you did! Pushing a group of senior magicians into the arms of others! Do you know what this means?"

Dagar curled up like a beaten wild dog, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and wailed loudly. He begged: "My lord! My lord! Please forgive my fault, it's none of my business! This is that damn... woo... cough cough! Aw..." However, before he finished speaking, the fat old man had already stuffed the pipe with burning hot tobacco into his mouth.

The old man ignored the long-haired carpet that was messed up by crystal fragments, red wine and Dagar's blood. He supported his knees with his palms and stood up to take another crystal glass. After pouring himself a glass of wine, he asked calmly: "Have you found out who has the formula?"

"According to the various clues available, it seems to be the masterpiece of a great magician in the University of Komo who goes by the alias 'Lemli'!" The black-armored thief said indifferently to what had just happened, "According to the news from the Mercenary Guild, it is said that the experimental team of Master Lemli encountered financial problems, so they sold the potion through an apprentice."

"According to analysis, they took out this batch of potions and found the pharmacy in the magic market. They should be testing us to seek opportunities for cooperation." The black-armored thief continued, "After all, there are not many forces in the city of Kolan that can afford the cost of a large experimental team. We need to act as soon as possible, otherwise we may lose this important opportunity."

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

He glanced at Dagar, who was shivering in the corner of the sofa like a dead dog, and sneered, and continued, "However, after the other party noticed that the Pharmacist Guild had signs of embezzling their potion formula, they immediately threw themselves into the arms of the Mercenary Guild without hesitation, and launched a low-level potion for large-scale mass production, in order to quickly raise funds and make up for the losses."

"Find this Master Lemley! Tell him that our "Golden Power Club" is his best partner. Only by joining hands with us can he gain a foothold in this world full of competition and infighting!" The fat old man's words were filled with unquestionable majesty.

Then he glanced at Dagar, who was in a mess with blood and blisters in his mouth, and sighed nostalgically, "As for this stupid guy, send him to see my poor Selena! She must miss her dear brother very much. Maybe in another world, they can be reunited again."

After a moment of stagnation, Dagar, who was curled up on the ground, suddenly jumped up as if driven by an invisible force, and screamed heartbreakingly: "No! No! You can't do this! I... I still have a chance! I'm still useful!"

However, his cry did not bring any sympathy or pity, but only strengthened the fat old man's determination to get rid of him.

Dagar suddenly turned around and fled frantically from the house, while the black-armored thief bowed respectfully to the fat old man silently, and then slowly disappeared into the shadows in the corner of the house.

Not long after, a half-terrified scream came from the grass outside the villa, indicating that Dagar's tragic fate had come to an end.

On the hillside behind the villa, next to a tombstone engraved with the name "Selena", a new grave with an unmarked tombstone was piled up. This new grave silently tells an unknown grievance and hatred, and also indicates that the change and struggle of power within this family is still continuing.

The undercurrents and changes in the outside world cannot affect "Master Lemley", a legendary figure in the pharmacy industry.

Therefore, when the "Komo University" opened, Jia Lan took the income from this period and went to "Komo University" with Alan to take the entrance examination.

Before temporarily leaving the Brown family, Jia Lan once said that he planned to take his two young apprentices to school for further studies.

However, the Browns, who had already tasted the sweetness of the pharmaceutical industry, firmly rejected Jia Lan's proposal on the grounds that they needed the Brown sisters who had mastered the formula of [Violet Cream] to continue to prepare the powder. In this regard, Jia Lan could only express his helplessness and apology to the Brown sisters who were full of desire and resentment.

In fact, in just seven days, Jia Lan had mastered more than 40,000 gold Talans of wealth. This wealth was not only enough to pay for the tuition and living expenses during the enrollment period of "Komo University", but also enough for Jia Lan to live a rich and comfortable life.

However, for the Brown family, this was a great opportunity for them to get rid of the civilian class and enter the upper class. They were naturally unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity easily.

Moreover, driven by the "Lemli Pharmacy Workshop", a whole "industrial chain" involving pharmaceuticals, sales, logistics and other links has gradually been formed.

This industry chain not only brought huge profits and status improvement to the Brown family, but also won them the favor and trust of more partners.

If Jia Lan insisted on closing the "Lemli Potion Workshop", it would probably bring a series of negative reactions and chain reactions.

In desperation, Jia Lan had to allow the "Lemli Potion Workshop" to continue operating, and he went to the "Komo University" to study.

He knew that only by constantly improving his knowledge and abilities could he better control his destiny and future.

September in [Kolan City] is the most lively and prosperous time of the year. Hundreds of thousands of students from different places in the seven continents of [Xingchen Continent], with their desire for knowledge and vision for the future, crowded together in this not-so-large but vibrant city.

The annual quota of 3,000 undergraduate freshmen in the [Main Department] and more than ten times the number of junior college freshmen in the [Auxiliary Department] of the "Kolan Public Magic University" is already a very large number.

Not to mention the other students of the ninth grade system and visiting scholars and researchers from all over the world. The total student population alone is as high as hundreds of thousands, making the city extremely lively and bustling in September.
