"Longinus Pharmaceutical Company?" Pavilion Chief Maxwell blurted out, his expression underwent a change when he saw the first word of the renamed Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation.
"Longinus? They"re backed by the Lightning Empress, Natalie Longinus?!" Pavilion Chief Maxwell"s expression turned green and he angrily turned towards his subordinate, "What"s the meaning of this Elder Rudolph? Didn"t you say that the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation didn"t have any substantial backing behind them?!"
Elder Rudolph staggered backward as he tried his best in resisting the pressure that wafted out from Maxwell"s body. Gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, his face turned green in regret and he hoped that he could turn back time and fix his mistakes.
An Honorary Disciple inside the Academy could command wind and rain. One could imagine that consequences of crossing someone that held such status. "But Pavilion Chief, why are you so afraid of a mere Honorary Disciple? I believe that the Academy would be biased towards our side since we generate a significant amount of income for them!"
Maxwell lifted a wry smile towards his subordinates words and actions, If this b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn"t lax on his investigation, then everything wouldn"t become irreconcilable. Now, that they indirectly abandoned the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation and the backing behind them suddenly stepped forward and openly supported them, Maxwell could do nothing but observe.
As a Pavilion Chief of the Medicine Pavilion, his words held great weight, but his most of his actions were monitored. Especially, if the high-ranking elders of the Academy caught wind of this conflict, they would definitely track his movements and prevent him from personally taking action.
But of course, that was different for his subordinate.
Clicking his tongue, Maxwell realized that apart from destroying them internally using fear and violence. There was no way that he could counter-attack and suppress the rising dragon known as the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company.
"Elder Rudolph, hold yourself back for a few days, though they have a huge backing behind them, that doesn"t mean that they would be successful in penetrating the market. If they cannot even do such a thing, then they would become a joke throughout the entire Academy..." Maxwell"s eyes flashed in an ambiguous light, Rudolph received the signal and his figure trembled for a moment before saying, "Does the Pavilion Chief mean..."
"Of course, that"s what I mean, and since this is your blunder, you better clean it up yourself or else I will be the one that will clean you up..." Maxwell"s chilling words pierced through Rudolph"s soul. As someone who struggled through the ranks, he was familiar with the ruthlessness of the Pavilion and he knew that once he failed his task, the Pavilion would definitely sacrifice him for the sake of their safety.
Elder Rudolph gulped a mouthful of saliva and could only nod his head.
The newly-founded Longinus Pharmaceutical Company sacrificed half of its a.s.sets to hasten the production of the first batch of the two revolutionary products and have it enter the market as soon as possible. At the end of the day, the company finished thirty jade bottles of Three-Flavored Salt Crystals and fifty jade bottles of the antibiotic powder that Dan called as Turmeracillin.
Since the Longinus Pharmaceutical Company"s trading channel was basically non-existent due to the withdrawal of the merchants who supported them. They swept out the remaining shop that they had at the center of the Establishment Block and placed their products there.
Dan smirked when he realized that the location of the shop was merely several blocks away from the Medicine Pavilion. Grace advertised the medicine as suitable for mortals and since the price tag was cheap and medicine specifically for mortals was scarce inside this Academy tailored for cultivators, mortals soon rushed towards their Establishment and checked the medicine out.
"Excuse me, what in the actual heavens is this?! The red one tastes like smoky meat, the blue one tastes like fish from the boundless ocean while the green one tastes like freshly-cooked vegetables?!"
"s.h.i.+t, you"re right! Now I don"t have to worry about not having a viand! Just sprinkling this above a cup of rice should make it taste good that I would never have to waste my money on buying those disgusting beef jerkys anymore!"
"Elder Sis! Give me five bottles!"
"Hey, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Stop pus.h.i.+ng! I"m the first one who arrived here so I should get one first!"
Upon finding out the effects of the two products, the mortals scurried over bringing their entire savings with them in an effort to outbid each other just to buy a single bottle of any of the two products. Observing the commotion on the second floor of the stoor, Grace, and Dan stood side by side, a small smile decorating their faces.
Grace glanced at Dan and found that her young master looked even more charming than before. Darting her gaze on his arm, Grace"s instincts told her that Dan wouldn"t mind it if she just leaped forward and embraced his arm.
"Grace, what are you thinking?! He has a wife, you know? Why would I dare and intrude myself upon their perfect relations.h.i.+p!" Grace lightly slapped her cheeks in an effort to calm herself down.
"Oh, so they have finally made their move..." Dan mumbled, his eyes pierced through the windows and stared at the cultivators that suddenly arrived before their establishment. When the mortals saw the blood-red uniformed cultivators, their expressions changed and they swiftly ran towards the opposite direction.
"I call for the representative of this establishment. I have received complaints that you are selling suspicious products that are harmful to the health of the general public..." One of them that looked like their leader stepped forward and announced in a voice which reverberated across the entire region.
Grace"s expression turned ugly and her cheeks burned in fury. Dan merely shrugged and in an instant, he vanished and reappeared before the figure of the blood-red uniformed cultivator.
His sudden appearance stunned them as Dan stepped forward and said, "So the lackeys ordered by the Medicine Pavilion has come? How dare they send these small fries before me..."
The cultivator"s countenance changed, "How dare you question the authority of the Enforcement Team of the Academy. Men, capture him for me!" His shout awakened the figures behind him and all of them pounced towards Dan"s direction.
Grace"s visage flashed with worry and Kevin who stood behind the counter turned pale. The sudden change in the situation astonished him. Earlier, they were rising towards the skies, but now they were falling even faster than before.
"Mere lackeys of the Enforcement Team dares to capture me? An Honorary Disciple of the Academy?!" Dan proudly exclaimed, his voice echoed out like thunder as he flicked his wrist, sending an una.s.suming token flying towards the air.
Right before the spectators" eyes, the token exploded into resplendent lights as two domineering words that froze the hearts of the cultivators from the Enforcement Team materialized before them.
"Honorary Disciple!"
The leader of the Enforcement Team trembled and within the next instant, he fell on his knees with a thud as he respectfully greeted, "Zaarki from the Enforcement Team, greets Senior Brother!"
