Not Twins

Chapter 3325

“I happen to have an alchemist in my group, Victor. How about I have him treat your niece?” Hamish suggested.

“Forget it. So many alchemists have tried, and none have succeeded. I doubt that alchemist of yours is any better, so there’s no point in trying,” Victor replied with a dismissive wave.

Having known Hamish for a long time, Victor knew that the alchemists travelling with him were all average at best.

Displeased with Victor’s dismissive attitude, Hamish exclaimed, “Don’t underestimate him, Victor. The alchemist in my group is a Supreme Alchemist.”

Victor froze. “A Supreme Alchemist? Really?”

“Wait here while I go get him,” Hamish said as he got up and went looking for Jared. Jared was planning on getting some rest so he could cultivate after making a breakthrough, only to have Hamish come asking him for help.

“Victor, this is Mr. Chance, the Supreme Alchemist,” Hamish said, introducing him to Victor

Hamish then pointed at Victor and said, “Mr. Chance, this is Victor, Mr. Jablonski’s sworn brother. He’s older than Mr. Jablonski, which is why he could have this courtyard built right next to the mansion.”

“Are you kidding me, Hamish? This guy is the Supreme Alchemist you mentioned?” Victor asked in disbelief as he eyed Jared from head to toe.

This guy looks way too young to be a Supreme Alchemist!

“Do I look like I’m kidding? We encountered a poison veil while we were in Mount Crimson. It was Mr. Chance who saved our lives back there. He gave me a pill when I got injured at one point, and my wound healed completely the next day. Hurry up and bring us to Mr. Jablonski’s mansion. Who knows? Mr. Chance might just be able to cure your niece!”

After seeing how serious Hamish was, Victor shot Jared another doubtful glance before replying with a nod, “All right, then. I’ll let you guys give it a shot.”

“Sorry, but I don’t have time for that.”

To their surprise, Jared refused to help.

I don’t know the mayor, let alone his daughter, so why should I treat her? Besides, I’m not in desperate need for spirit coins either. I just want to cultivate while we rest to prepare for our trip to Demonia Mountain. There’s no telling what dangers we may come across.

Victor froze in shock as he didn’t think Jared would refuse to help out.

Hamish, too, was equally surprised. “Please just take a look at her, Mr. Chance. You will be rewarded generously if you manage to treat her condition!”

“Young man, you may make any request if you successfully treat my niece!” Victor said.

“All right, then. I’ll try treating your niece, but I don’t want spirit coins as a reward. Instead, I want that trove tree in your backyard,” Jared replied with a faint smile.

Jared had detected a faint celestial energy the moment he entered the courtyard. After looking around for a bit, he noticed a trove tree in the backyard. It was enclosed with arcane arrays to keep the celestial energy trapped inside.

Victor froze for a few seconds before casting Jared a terrifying glare in response. Noticing that something was off about Victor’s expression, Hamish quickly said, “What’s so great about a tree, Mr. Chance?”

“I want that tree. I will proceed to treat her as soon as you agree to my request,” Jared said calmly.

Victor’s expression eased up a little as he said, “Fine, you’re quite good if you saw what’s special about that tree. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

He then proceeded to lead Jared and Hamish to the mayor’s mansion.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
