Chapter 63: Mission Accomplished: Astonishing Rewards (3)
"Young friend, wouldn’t treating him in this manner backfire in the future?" Jordansaid. After all, Harley was still an alchemist. They didn’t give him any kind of monetary benefits, and Darius was even rude to him.
"Please don’t worry, you are my customer. That guy is the type who fears the strong and bullies the weak. Give him an inch, and he’ll take a mile," Darius said with a smile.
Jordan did not ask Darius why Harley had been so fearful of and respectful towards him. Choosing to run a pavilion in such a narrow alley within the outer city said enough about his personality. Asking too many questions might even sever the relationship he built with him so far.
Moreover, he also had to start preparing for the next step. Now, it was time for their counterattack!

"Alchemist Harley!" Seeing Harley come out, Sharley and his grandson emerged from the shadows, waving over at him.
The grandfather and grandson duo did not depart after they’d left the restaurant. Instead, they remained in wait here.
In front of Darius, Harley acted like a pug dog. Yet in front of others, he immediately recovered his arrogant demeanor. He snorted and said, "Do you have something to discuss with me?"
"Alchemist Harley, you see, Alex and Jordan’s son are brothers of the same family Shouldn’t you be more accommodating and allow Alex to continue to learn alchemical arts with you?" Sharley said with a flattering smile.
Yet Sharley only laughed and said, "Sharley, I cannot decide on this issue. If you want your grandson to become an alchemist in the future, then you must first obtain Young Master Darius’s approval! Otherwise, it’s useless even if you find another alchemist. No one would dare to take your grandson as a disciple!"
’What!?’
Sharley and his grandson both wore an expression of utter disbelief. How could a mere young man have such power?
"You can choose not to believe me, but this has nothing to do with me, so please do not drag me into this affair," Harley waved his hand, "However, I will still offer you a word of advice...do not oppose Young Master Darius on any account. Furthermore, you have no idea how fortunate you are!"
They were all members of the Silverwell family. There was no such thing as eternal enmity among family. As long as they sincerely apologized to Jordan and his friend, then how could it be that they would not receive any benefits in the future?
After all, Darius was a man that even Grandmaster Gabriel, Gabriel Jones, treated with respect!
Just as Harley had said, this matter had nothing to do with him, so once he said what he wanted to say, he quickly departed. He still had to complete the task that the Snowwell family had commanded him to do.
"Grandfather, are we really going to do as he had said and obey Jordan and even his son’s commands without question?" Alex asked, gritting his teeth. How could he resign himself to doing such a thing? Jordan’s son was a well-known piece of trash, and for him to actually obey the commands of a piece of trash... just the mere thought of him made him feel stupid.
"Of course not!" Sharley strongly waved his hand, "I’ve worked so hard all these years; how could I allow a piece of trash to ruin all my hard work? Whether that brat is a real piece of trash or has just been pretending to be one, there is no way that he can stand in the way of me taking over our Snowwell family!"
"But Grandfather, what is our next move? Jordan befriended this mysterious young man now, what can we do?" Alex appeared very dazed.
"Wait!" Sharley said in a deep voice, "The relations between Silvermanes family and us are very tense now. Even though Jordan can counterattack with Harley’s help, the Silvermanes family is not easily trifled with. Force them into a corner, and they would definitely put their all into the fight."
"At that moment, we will give Jordan an additional stab in the back and shove him off the position of the family head!"
Alex’s face lit up upon hearing this, but his eyes were filled with a poisonous rage: "Grandfather, that brat Darius must be handed over to me; I want to kill him with my own hands!"
"You will definitely get your wish!" Sharley said with a cold smile.
No matter what, with enough patience, they will take revenge on both Jordan and Darius.
"Grandson, do not provoke Jordan or his son from now on. Let me do the research on who that young man called Darius is. After the Silvermanes family’s attack comes, we will make our move," Sharley paused," If I’m not mistaken, that kid has no power on his own, if he dares to come to our city to mediate the situation, we will ambush him."
"And if he doesn’t?" Alex suddenly asked, worried about this outcome. He truly wanted nothing more than to smash that smug face to a pulp; he not only humiliated him, but even made his master abandon the master-disciple relationship. Such a grievance can only end with one killed.
Sharley suddenly paused, hearing this," If he doesn’t come, it won’t matter anyway, find him and assassinate him. No matter his background, what kind of family would waste a twenty-four-hour salary on an expert to protect their family member?"
Even till now, Sharley refused to believe that Darius was a standalone force, for such an idea to enter his mind, it would require a great deal of evidence and effort, even the sky falling as evidence wouldn’t suffice!
***
Meanwhile, as the duo grandson and grandfather plotted against Darius. The man in question sat in his bed, greatly tired by tonight’s events that he didn’t even bother to check the income of today’s sells and even the system rewards, directly sleeping.
He secretly swore in his heart.
Face slapping is addictive...Darius, do not come close to it willingly, avoid it like a plague!
