Liam's plan was simple, Konad is the son of zonad one of the potential threat of his life, he could use his son to monitor his activity saving him from the threat of death which he really hated the most.
Nevertheless, Liam wasn't going on about protection and forgetting the pay, he would never try such a thing cause his motor is money and power, life can be good with too much money and when there is no strength to safekeep that money, your wealth is nothing more than safekeeping the money till the day the potential thief arrives to take it.
Konad had no choice but to agree, to him it was better to have a teacher that younger or on the same age as him Rather than some overbearing oldie like his father.
He immediately brought out the sum of two hundred and fifty, one hundred and fifty was for his training in the first pill while the other was his tution fee.
Liam did not bother about asking for the fee, but since he was given he could not reject it.
"Come back two days from now, your lecture will commence on that day." After saying that, Liam walked inside his place and the door was shut.
Konad clenched his fist not for anger but for determination, he wanted to learn alchemist and be like Liam, with his knowledge of alchemist after learning from Liam he would be able to go against his father's iron rule and be able to leave a life free from that rule.
He left the place without hating Liam for not beginning his lesson immediately, he went home to met Zonad still enraged and disappointed over his failure.
He walked pass his dad after wordlessly bowing as a greeting, the old man didn't even get to answer him but he was not bothered with it.
He has his own money for selling his forged pills directly to those who need them and also to those when buy from him and sell to others.
This way he has been able to save up money to take care of himself, he is the richest under 16 kid in the whole of grained earth kingdom and the surrounding ones.
Nevertheless, at the moment all his wealth would be going to Liam in exchange for knowledge which will directly make Liam richest and the youngest.
That was his own belief though, Liam was definitely wealthier than him, he has even started selling pills yet and he has already made a fortune for just winning that event.
Going home with a prize not less than thirty million, he did not need a prophet to preach to him that Liam will be making times ten of that if he shows the same prowess in the empire alchemy contest.
Unfortunately, he won't be able to compete, but now Liam is his master meaning that he has a reason to celebrate if Liam wins in the contest.
He went inside his room and took all his belongings storing them inside his spatial ring, and then he walked out of the house.
Just when he was about to shut the door, his Father glared at him and asked him where he was up to, to which he gave a response that he was leaving the house.
The old man expression experienced a drastic change.
"After disappointing me your dad, you are planning to leave?"
"Don't worry dad, I'm leaving to become a spendthrift, I'm only going to acquire more knowledge on alchemy, that way you will no longer see me as a disappointment, don't worry, I have my own money and would be able to take care of myself till I'm done studying from my master." Konad let out in a tone that shocked his father for he has in the past, not being able to reply his father is such manner.
"And who is this master you are talking about?"
"Liam, the winner of the alchemy contest."
"What...!!" Zonad let out a roof exploding shout after hearing that.
Who would have thought that his son was trying to learn from the person that has blocked his star, Liam was the one that has blocked his star considering that he was younger than him.
He could not but that exact blame on Alexander the other genius that day because the dude was way older than his son and Liam, if there was no Liam that day then there was a probability that Konad will be seen as a good candidate.
The alchemy guild would have picked Konad as the first runner up for the selection but instead they picked Liam, everything would have been okay if Liam was not in grained earth city.
"That bastard was the obstruction on your path which I your father was trying to take out for you, to think that you will actually go behind my back and accept him as your master? despicable!"
Konad shook his head and let out, "I lost because I wasn't qualified enough, I won't blame it on master Liam, if only I was as genius as he was, a true master can only brag about his achievement when he has the apex of it all, he can brag when he knows no one can fall him down. that was what master Liam did that earned him all the respect. I on the other hand wasn't humble, I let the fame cloud my mind and make my lazy,"
Zonad head was bringing out imaginary smoke right now, his expression was comical like a raging bull puffing out smoke from it's orifices.
After saying what he wanted to say, Konad turned his back against his dad and walked out of his sight.
He clenched his fist, regretting that he has always followed the path his dad took, a Path where he cared about reputation and wealth and forgot to improve himself.
How he wished he had known Liam sooner and be able to act like him, all these disappoinment would not have happened.
After he left, he went to a nearby inn and payed his rent for few months which cost only five hundred gold coins cause he also be using this place like his home, the money he paid included his meal.
Meanwhile, zonad almost got blown up with rage as his body shivered, he wanted to go out right now and rip Liam head off then beat his son mercilessly.
If the news of Konad accepting Liam as his master leaves the place and reached the others then it means his reputation will be ruined, they will take it that he wasn't qualified enough to teach his son and Liam was more than qualified to do so.
Just when he was about to make a loud cuss, the door suddenly opened and someone he wasn't expecting walked inside.
Seeing this person, the mad look on his face cleared now turning into a smile.
"That bastard, can you tell me where he lives?" This person asked to which zonad gave the answer, but he did not let that person leave, he asked him to not hurt his son to which this person nodded and walked out of his house.
This person was no other than Jordan, after that night that he overused the curse power, his body started reacting.
Dark scales was on his hands and a part of his face was covered with scale too, also one of his eyes dark with glowing white eyeball and there was fang on one part of his face.
His new appearance was scary, he did not know about this at first until he woke up in his room one day and walked out of the room of the inn he was staying.
The young worker there suddenly started to scream, claiming that they have seen a demon, in order to have this hidden he killed the two of them and fed them to rocky.
The curse has caused many transformation in his life, one of them was the fact that he now has a really evil heart. he was against killing, always standing beside justice but now he has killed two innocent souls and he was even evil enough to feed them to his dragon.
Since that day he has been covering his face with mask and wore a long cloak over his body.
This was troublesome, he could not continue his daily endeavours anymore neither could be visit his girlfriend in the sect for he wouldn't be allowed inside with his identity checked.
The Myriad yin path sect is holding an event, to check how strong they have become over the years, it's an annual event and it was compulsory for everyone to be in attendance of it, as long as you're a disciple of the sect you will have to attend. only guest of the sect are exempted from this but of course they can participate and win the same prize if they want to.
With this, he was even more tempted to do all he can to take care of Liam and end his misery for real.
