Chapter 345 Millfall’s Greatest Alchemist
Chapter 345 Millfall’s Greatest Alchemist
While Nova tried to make trouble for Vicente, the young Fuller arrived at the Thomas estate, the home of a traditional family of local alchemists.
Vicente knew from his soldiers that Liam had left his estate earlier with alchemist Abel Thomas, owner of the Botanica Magica.
He was now there to conduct important business with the family alchemist.
Without delay, he knocked on the front door of the estate and was soon greeted by a servant of the Thomas family.
The Thomas family was not a local noble house, but given their position as owners of the largest alchemy shop in the city, their financial power was no less than that of some of the local Baron families.
Vicente noticed this when he saw how large and luxurious the estate was from the outside, but also the number of people working there, even at this time of night.
When a very well-behaved and well-dressed butler greeted him, he felt like he was there to talk to a nobleman.
After a minute of walking through the corridors of this large family residence, he saw some people he didn’t know but who didn’t work there.
Ignoring everyone in his path, Vicente soon neared a large living room where Liam and Abel were talking.
“Mister Thomas, Cesar Mazzanti is here to see young Liam.” The butler announced as he arrived at the entrance of the large room, drawing the attention of the two men standing there with their backs to the entrance.
Turning to see Vicente standing next to his master’s butler, Liam sighed, not knowing whether to be happy or sad at the man’s return.
After all that had happened, they would probably have a lot of problems if they remained connected to the Mazzanti family. As such, it was a concern to consider.
Liam was not ungrateful. He knew how much he had benefited from the deal with Vicente and from absorbing the pentagram of the 3rd-stage herb. However, the current situation was quite complicated for the Mazzanti family, so much so that it might have been better for him if Cesar hadn’t returned.
On the other hand, Vicente had helped him and didn’t seem as bad as the rumors said. That’s why Liam couldn’t be completely sad to see that this guy had managed to escape from several Mages.
But before he could say anything to his new business partner, Liam heard his master talk to Vicente.
“Cesar… I didn’t expect you to be on this level. I heard about you for the first time recently but look at you. You’re practically at level 5 already!” Abel commented as he looked at Vicente with interest
He was particularly concerned about his student’s situation. But to see someone who had grown from the beginning to the end of the 2nd magical stage in just a few months was a great rarity, something he couldn’t help but be interested in.
Was Cesar’s talent that great? Or was he so lucky that he constantly found resources to increase his own power?
Either way, rapid growth couldn’t be achieved without a lot of effort, which in itself said a lot about Cesar.
Vicente looked at Abel and said. “Abel Thomas, I did not think I would meet you so soon. But lucky for me, someone did me the favor of bringing us together.”
“Oh?” Abel imagined that Cesar wanted something from him.
“I came here today for Liam. But with Millfall’s greatest alchemist in front of me, how can I pass up this opportunity? Abel Thomas, do you have any pills or potions for sale? I have a party needing resources, and I have the coins to make the necessary investment. Will you do business with me?” Vicente asked as Liam easily understood the situation.
It didn’t take Liam long to realize that Vicente’s words were related to the urgency of their current situation. There was no time for him to go and produce everything the family needed right now.
Liam had just boosted his power. He needed a few hours to get to know his powers better and then to improve his techniques.
Liam had already reached the top of the 2nd stage. He had studied the alchemical theory for 2nd stage alchemists thoroughly before absorbing his second pentagram. Therefore, now that he had done so and his magical foundation was solid again, he could quickly reach level 3 and begin to create 2nd-grade pills.
However, he would need at least five days to do all this and be at Vice’s disposal.
But the Mazzanti family couldn’t wait!
Then he said. “Master, please sell some of your 2nd-grade resources to Cesar. Unfortunately, I will need some time to adjust my condition, and the Mazzanti family desperately needs these resources.”
Abel looked at Liam, knowing his student had an exclusive agreement with the Mazzanti family.
Liam had told him everything that could be said without violating the agreement with Vicente.
Abel was aware of the pros and cons of that agreement, which, by the way, was very favorable to his student’s side. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
In their agreement, Cesar had practically all the responsibilities, while Liam should only not sell his products or services to third parties.
Because of this, Abel didn’t have a bad impression of Cesar. To him, as problematic as the young man seemed on the surface, Vicente genuinely appreciated Liam and was merely trying to build a powerful faction with foundations.
The fact that this brought danger closer to Liam was a mere detail, something that every magician had to face sooner or later if he wanted to grow.
But that didn’t mean that he would help Cesar without a problem!
He looked at Vicente and said. “It’s not impossible for us to do business. How about this? I’ll provide you with all the potions and pills you need today. In return, you’ll release Liam from his exclusivity with you.”
Liam and Vicente were surprised by this, as neither had expected such a thing.
Abel elaborated. “I know about your agreement, but as advantageous as it is, Liam becoming a member of your family is a little more dangerous than I think is appropriate.
It was very generous of you to give him the pentagram of that herb. But with the Viscount and the Commander having gotten their hands on the 3rd-stage herb, the dangers to those connected to your family are too great.”
“Master…” Liam muttered, seeing the concern Abel had for him.
Vicente, on the other hand, couldn’t agree. “I understand your concern for your pupil. But I approached Liam because of how valuable he can be to my family, in the short term, but also in the long term.”
