Chapter 24: I Am an Alchemist Too

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The one kneeling on the ground was the genius of the Booker Clan—Trevor Booker!

He was the most promising person in the younger generation of the Booker Family.

But now, Jaidon had beaten him into a dog. He was kneeling on the ground half dead.

Even a Level-three Battle Master was nothing much!

Trevor’s underlings hurriedly retreated a few steps upon seeing such a ferocious Jaidon, deeply afraid that they would be implicated.

As for Trevor?

Since their boss had been beaten up, what was the point of the underlings going up?

Seeing this group of cowards, Jaidon spat. He stood on the steps and looked down at everyone. None of them dared to step forward to defend Trevor.

Ha, this was the Booker family full of dragons.

What a joke.

Jaidon stepped on Trevor’s back, causing his kneeling body to bend completely. His head touched the ground without any resistance.

The once high and mighty Trevor had become Jaidon’s prisoner.

“Apologize to Andrea!” Jaidon increased the force on his feet with every word.

“Master, there’s no need…” Andrea said worriedly. Although she was very touched, she was afraid that Jaidon would be implicated by the Booker Family.

“Andrea, did he think about the consequences when he bullied you? If he makes you suffer, I’ll make him wish he was dead!”

“Not only this bastard, I have to make everyone understand that you’re mine. This is the consequence of daring to touch my people!”

Boom!

As Jaidon increased the force under his feet, Trevor’s knees sank into the ground.

He said indistinctly, “Jaidon, I apologize. I deserve to die but please let me go. I don’t want to die. I don’t want…”

“Do you think I want you to apologize to me?” Jaidon kicked Trevor and sent him flying. He rolled for quite a distance before stopping.

However, Trevor did not seem to feel any pain. Under Jaidon’s killing intent, he was terrified to death. He crawled on his knees in front of Andrea and repeatedly kowtowed in apology.

Andrea’s heart was filled with pity, causing Jaidon to sigh.

It was hard to be a good person in this world. If Jaidon had not returned in time, Trevor might have done something even worse.

When Jaidon was still a genius and the Master of the Booker Family, Trevor had always followed behind him and called him Big Brother. He even called Andrea his sister-in-law.

However, in such a short period of time, after becoming a crippled person Jaidon finally understood how heartless humans could be.

He would cherish the little bit of warmth left by his side now.

He stared at Trevor mercilessly, who had shuddered and kowtowed until his head was covered in blood.

He could sense Jaidon’s killing intent. Jaidon wanted to kill him, but he didn’t want to die. He didn’t want to die.

“Get lost!”

Jaidon kicked him, using the soft power of the Taichi Fist.

Trevor’s energy center was destroyed and this gentle force would make him suffer every day.

Until the moment of death.

Jaidon was a man of his words.

Only after everyone had left did Jaidon walk over to tidy up Andrea’s clothes and wipe away the tears on her face.

“Master, I-I don’t deserve this. The Booker family will definitely take revenge.”

Andrea lowered her head, feeling both touched and worried.

However, Trevor was the son of the Third Elder of the Booker Family and was quite popular among the masses. Andrea was worried that Jaidon would be ostracized by everyone in the Booker Family.

He might not be able to stay in the Booker family anymore.

“Haha, I’ve wanted to leave Booker family for a long time already. At most, I’ll just leave.”

“Or do you not believe in your Master? I can stay or leave as I wish. They can’t stop me.”

Andrea raised her head. Seeing Jaidon’s confident smile, she couldn’t help but become dazed.

It had been a long time since Master had been confident ever since he was crippled.

Such a Master was really dazzling.

Gently hugging Andrea, Jaidon whispered into her ear, “From now on, I am the only one allowed to bully you. I will kill anyone who dares to touch you, okay?”

After a long while, an almost inaudible “hmm” was heard.

…

After making Andrea happy, Jaidon went to look for Carlos.

If he didn’t do anything, he might really be ostracized by everyone in the Booker family like Andrea said.

Apart from not wanting Andrea to suffer, Jaidon also didn’t want to disappoint his parents.

When he saw Carlos, he was sitting in front of a pile of documents with a worried frown. He even seemed to have aged a little.

When he saw Jaidon arrive, he forced a smile and said, “You’re here. Why were you looking for me?”

He wondered if the Great Elder was making things difficult for Jaidon again. If that was so, he would have to warn him later.

Jaidon grinned and said, “I heard that the sale of our family’s medicinal pills is being stunted by the Warden Family. Is that true?”

At the mention of medicinal pills, Carlos’ face revealed a worried expression again. He nodded. “That’s right. The Warden Family has a Level-two alchemist. Not only is the produced quantity astonishing, the price is also much lower. He has monopolized the Green Valley Town’s medicinal pill market all on his own.”

He had been worrying about how to draw in the sales for the Booker family again.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t find a solution.

Make a Level-two alchemist disappear? The Warden Clan was the largest clan in Green Valley Town. There was no way to kill off the alchemist.

Lowering the cost? If this continued, the Booker Family would be making a loss.

The other methods were also rejected.

It could be said that the Booker Family had encountered a true crisis.

If they could not resolve it, the Booker Family would suffer great losses.

In the long term, it was hard to say whether the Booker family would still exist in the future if the Warden family harbored ill intentions.

Jaidon revealed a wide smile as he noted Carlos’ expression. This way, he would have a chance to show off his talent.

“I have a way to resolve the crisis.”

Carlos’ thoughts were running wild. When he heard Jaidon’s words, he couldn’t react in time.

“What?”

Jaidon repeated, “I said, I can help the Booker Family survive this crisis.”

Carlos, who had been acting indifferent, finally revealed a shocked expression.

He had some understanding of Jaidon’s personality. He would never joke around.

“Is… Is this true?” Carlos asked excitedly.

As the clan leader of the Booker Family, the pressure on him at the moment was greater than ever.

If the Booker family declined in his hands, it would all be his fault. He would not be able to face his ancestors in the afterlife.

But now, he seemed to have found some hope.

Although he thought that Jaidon’s solution would just be another childish suggestion… for some unknown reason, it felt like a life-saving straw that he could not help but hang on to.

One had to know that even all the senior members of the Booker Family could not resolve the current situation.

If Jaidon could really resolve it, perhaps the Booker Family could be led by him in the future…

He stopped thinking. He was waiting for Jaidon’s answer.

Boom!

Suddenly, a red flame ignited from Jaidon’s hand.

It was none other than his Pill Flame, which could be used to concoct pills.

Seeing Carlos’ look of disbelief, Jaidon smiled.

“Because I am also an alchemist!”
