Chapter 224 - Spring River Villa
Since they were head manservants, their cultivations were at the Sky Ethereal Realm! After all, they were working for two of the top five families.
How could they be weak like some ordinary servant from relatively less powerful families? They were able to remove Roy away from the bed easily and had to knock him out as he was moving around his limbs and howling in a frenzied manner.
Dennisa had fainted with relief and exhaustion and the fact that she couldn't bear to look at her own body anymore. Even the manservants wrinkled their noses upon seeing the ugly deformations on Roy and Dennisa's body.
They also saw Luke and Neo's bodies lying on the sofa, and by just simply inspecting them, they were shocked to find out that they both were dead.
They couldn't understand what happened here or what was going on. This was the most shocking thing they had ever seen happen in their long years of serving the families.
They didn't know how they should explain this whole incident to their masters. But they knew they had no choice but to tell the truth, if they didn't want their heads to roll.
But first, they tried to give healing pills to Dennisa and Roy to get rid of those strange marks on their body, which almost covered every part of their body. Only some areas remained normal.
However, when they gave them top-notch healing pills, their expressions became aghast when they saw that instead of removing those deformations, it increased even more!
Now, their bodies were completely covered in ugly black marks from which yellow pus was coming out, making even the manservants look away in disgust.
They clutched their heads in horror, thinking that they worsened the situation, and even after being this old, they couldn't help but panic.
They quickly took out their messaging talismans and conveyed the truth so that by the time they return, their masters would at least be prepared to handle this whole thing and not take out their wrath on them.
And without further ado, they picked up Roy and Dennisa and hastened towards their respective family mansions.
Meanwhile, Damien and Valentina had a nice meal and came out of the pub with a smile. If one saw the calm smile on Damien's face, they wouldn't think that he just wrecked the prodigal heirs of two of the top five families!
Even laying a hand on them will automatically mean a death warrant or a cruel death in the worst case. Even if the patriarchs of the Clive and Rivers Family launch an investigation, the last person people will suspect was Damien, as many had already spotted him and saw him enjoying his meal with Valentina in a pub.
Damien switched to his Alchemist Azrael disguise, and along with Valentina, they headed towards the Spring River Villa.
Damien had bought, or to be precise, he was gifted with the Spring River Villa to conduct his business, and the villa was not that far from his Ocean Haven Villa.
He had already hired servants and maids to look after the Spring River Villa as he wanted help in managing his customers and not only to look after the villa.
For the past few weeks, he had already opened shop and accepted customers for buying his pills and patients for receiving his treatment.
As soon as he had opened shop, people started to flood in like a swarm, and there seemed to be no end to them despite the fees Damien was charging them.
In such a wealthy empire, there were, of course, many wealthy people who were ready to pay exorbitant prices just to get their hands on a Supreme Tier Pill, which wasn't even available in the markets now as it had already gone out of stock for a long time.
As Damien had stopped concocting pills for a while, the Supreme Tier Pills he had given to the Alchemist Society to sell in the market already got sold like hot cakes till there were no more available.
And as a result, demand for Supreme Tier Pills increased even further, and people who luckily already got their hands on one of them resold them for a price way higher than the original price they bought it at, thus making a huge profit.
Even the relatively poor families who held on to at least one of the Supreme Tier Pills were now at least ten times richer than before after reselling the Supreme Tier Pill they had.
That was the extreme extent to which these Supreme Tier Pills' prices skyrocketed that even Damien was flabbergasted to see them rise in price within just a month.
He felt that if he kept concocting Supreme Tier Pills for just a few months, he could make enough wealth to rival large-sized families!
Wealth was the least of his concerns now, especially when he could concoct Rank 5 Pills now. Previously, with just Rank 4 Supreme Tier Pills, he made a substantial amount of wealth within just days.
So one could only imagine how much wealth he made by concocting Rank 5 Pills during the past few weeks.
He also gave some of his pills to the Alchemist Society to keep them satisfied so that he could procure their services smoothly whenever he needed them and maintain a healthy relationship with Leon Xeton.
The only supreme existence Damien was most familiar with in the Xeton Empire was Leon Xeton. He had tried to build a rapport with him by visiting the Alchemist Society occasionally to exchange ideas and also at the same time whether he could learn something from him as Leon Xeton was an expert who lived for centuries.
So far, Damien felt that Leon Xeton was someone with a profound understanding of various things, and he himself was enlightened about some things while talking to him.
Leon Xeton was also one of the Xetonians who gave him a good feeling so far, and his gut was telling him that was something more to Leon Xeton than what he was showing.
However, Damien didn't overestimate himself to think that he could probe a supreme existence and played it safe.
Leon Xeton had heard about how things went down with the Clive and Rivers Family patriarchs and asked Alchemist Azrael whether he was against Valentina and Damien's relationship.
However, Damien said that he only wanted the best for Valentina, and the worthy one would anyway win in the end.
Leon Xeton was feeling more confused about Alchemist Azrael as he couldn't understand his thinking process. But he was shocked when Falko told him about the special pills Alchemist Azrael had given to the heirs of the Clive and the Rivers Family.
He never expected that Alchemist Azrael could concoct such pills, and he was so curious and interested in it that he was dying to ask Alchemist Azrael about those pills.
But he didn't want to come off as too desperate and decided to invite him for talks once in a while and exchanged some ideas. He didn't know whether he should be surprised or not when he learned that Alchemist Azrael could even discuss and work with Rank 7 medical formulas.
Now he felt that it was no surprise Alchemist Azrael was able to come up with such marvelous medical formulas and used them to concoct pills to give them away as gifts to Roy and Dennisa.
He could only wonder what Alchemist Azrael's true origins were as it seemed impossible for him that a weakened empire like the Rong Empire could give birth to such a prodigy. Unless Alchemist Azrael had a hidden expert from some other empire as his master, he couldn't see any other way how he reached such heights.
But the thing that befuddled him the most was Alchemist Azrael's etheric flames, as he knew that was the main reason he was able to concoct Supreme Tier Pills. But it was not like he could find out more about it if Alchemist Azrael were unwilling to share any information.
However, he decided to maintain a good relationship with Alchemist Azrael and was also impressed by how talented Valentina was in alchemy as well but wasn't surprised, of course.
Damien and Valentina soon entered the Spring River Villa.. They were greeted by the maids and servants as they respectfully bowed while lining up in an orderly fashion.
