Before the eyes of everyone, Liam completely, forged the pills he was asked to, causing the men there to feel really shameful about doubting the ability of Liam.
"I newly got this device from the empire head quarter, it can accurately measure the purity of any number of pills as long as they fit into it, young man you should feel really proud that you were the first person that it was tested on" The old man said as he brought out the newest invention of purity measuring device that the head quarter is planning to sell out to the merchant guild soon.
Liam nodded his head, the old man took the device out and placed all the pills inside without touching. it has a shiny body while the inside was pitch black and also shiny as well.
Immediately after the pills enter, there was a blink of light that transformed into the number 96, it caused most of them to drop to the ground.
Most of them doubted how they really got to be proud with their rank in alchemy when a young man like Liam was able to act up to the standard to be peak stage alchemy grandmaster.
Hector and his minion watching from outsiders as well as the others outside fell to the ground in shock, most of them even went ahead to mock him thinking that he was really a cheater.
Now because of their jealous action, Liam has been promoted twice and now he was a grandmaster, his rank at the moment was even better than most of the alchemist that looked at him while he took the test.
Hector gritted his teeth as hatred burned through his eyes, however he stopped that immediately after feeling the killing intent that Zonad sent towards him, his leg at that moment lost their will to stand and he knelt on the ground.
"Bro, don't drag me into such a humiliating act next time." The others scoffed at him and left, they did not show their face as much as hector did concerning this matter thus they have a little strand of freedom protecting them.
They left afterwards, once again Liam was asked to come the other day.
He was asked to leave his address so that someone would bring it over to his house once it's done but he refused, he could feel the killing stares going around the room, someone among them is jealous of his success and was trying to do something to him, giving his home address out would be a foolish move from him, as someone who doesn't like that he has to remove it in the easiest way.
"Young Man, since you are this young you will be able to participate in the contest coming on few weeks from now, we want you to be our ambassador, you will be going on another of our young and fine alchemist to represent us, you will be rewarded with money, ranging from five hundred thousand to two million depending on the position you won at the contest, also you stand a chance to pick one of the treasure from our treasure vault as well as a chance to go into the empire Contest which will be coming with a better reward."
The oldie gave quite a long speech that gave him a feeling that he has to try it out, he left after the meeting where he was given five hundred as an apology for the discomfort and delay.
While hector was demoted to one star in master alchemy and was banned from taking another test to boost his rank.
Hector felt a deep hatred in his heart, and a big fear from zonad countless threat.
He even got an invitation to visit Zonad a week from now. he agreed fearfully and left for his house with trembling legs as though he was struck with a disease.
Liam summoned the flying shark and left for his home, he arrived there pretty late in the night and he was shocked to see that there was some familiar faces in his house.
Nevertheless, his guards took them for strangers who have come to hurt their master and thus they tied them down.
There were two of them actually, one was Gabriel and the other one was among the hunters attacked the other day, he was lucky not to sustain a worst injury other than the one in his face.
Normally, Liam took Gabriel as someone he could converse with but he did not know the other guy and he was not foolish enough to give someone a hundred percent trust, someone who cultivated such amount of trust from him would be able to hurt him in the future.
"Hey Gabriel, how did you know this place?" Liam let out with a very cold expression on his face that seems to freeze the earth around Gabriel who froze from the question.
Liam was just a calm guy lacking social abilities, he never knew that Liam has such a bold side of himself.
The eye stuff he was wearing made him even more domineering more like the demons in fairytales that used large ships and has one covered and also have hook attached to their hands.
"I came here to tell you something that might save your life, you know I can never have a bad intention towards you." Liam hearing that statement gave Gabriel a fierce look.
He loved his life so much that he has been able to keep it this secretive even from his family, his life has been threatened many times but this time seems to be a little different because he did not know what was threatening his life.
He used his hands to signal his men to stop the two, for such words to leave Gabriel's mouth it meant that he wasn't joking.
He let the two in, all this while he was looking at the other dude with Gabriel who looked a tad bit familiar.
"I was his partner that day," The Hunter let out in other to ease the worry in Liam's heart.
Liam nodded his head, he made his servant serve his unexpected guest tea as the light from the large chandelier filled the room with a cool light that washed off darkness.
"Can I know what you mean when you said my life was threatened?"
Gabriel downed all the tea in the cup and turned to Liam.
"The fourth prince of the capital city has a portrait of you and he is searching for you around the kingdom with it." Gabriel explained how they met.
"I don't have any relationship with that dude and I'm not sure if we have exchanged gaze before, for him to have such large amount of money going for my hand means that this is really serious but can I know if he told you anything about it.'
"No he didn't, he displayed the portrait and let us know how much he is willing to pay."
"Apart from you two, did anyone follow you guys."
"Yes, but they don't know who you are and with your new look, they won't be able to easily recognize you from the portrait they saw."
Liam nodded his head, his hair has made him stand out too much as well as his contrasting eyes that has been corrected a little with the help of what he has on his eyes right now.
Liam pondered for some time, all he wanted was safe life or if he can't get that at least he would be able to defeat the threat to his life but who would have expected that his foe would be someone of a royal lineage.
"How strong is this person?" Liam asked.
"I don't know for sure, but I think he has reached the peak of human lord realm in both cultivations."
"Peak of human lord realm, huh." Liam placed his hands under his chin and pondered for some time.
His cultivation at present was, 4th level, human lord realm for martial arts and 2nd level, human lord realm cultivation for essence cultivation.
With the help of the bloodline souls like the devil of divine flames, and the heavenly music monarch bloodline soul he would be able to achieve victory over someone as strong as this bastard.
Nevertheless, depending on external factors to win a fight was obviously a foolish idea that one could ever think of.
There is nothing more important than having all the strength you need to survive in one body and not having to depend on helps.
