Chapter 228: Was Sabotaged by Someone
“Of course it’s teacher Dempsey.” Audrey’s tone turned colder. She naturally would not give too much face to someone who came knocking on her door.
Endis looked at Audrey in disdain.
“Don’t mention teacher Dempsey. You’re not worthy of being his a.s.sistant. I’m the most suitable candidate!” Endis berated her sternly.
Audrey also understood that this person had come knocking on her door for this matter.
That was really boring. She was not as skilled as him, yet she was blaming someone else.
“Then why did teacher Dempsey choose me instead of you?” Audrey’s simple retort made Endis’ expression turn ugly, making her feel humiliated.
Over the past one to two years, she had always wanted to become Dempsey’s disciple. However, every time she came knocking on his door, she was rejected. She was defeated time and time again.
Now that Audrey had become Dempsey’s a.s.sistant so easily, how could she be willing to accept it?
“You must have used some tricks to deceive teacher Dempsey. I want to compete with you and expose your conspiracy!” Endis threatened.
Audrey rolled her eyes at her. From the looks of it, she did not seem to be able to refine any good potions.
Today, she still had many potions to make, so she did not have the time to bother with Endis.
“I’m not free. Let’s do it another day,” Audrey said indifferently as if she could not be bothered with her.
However, in Endis’ eyes, it was obvious that she did not dare to accept the challenge. She became even more arrogant. “You don’t dare, do you? I’m going to tell teacher Dempsey that you’re a liar.”
Audrey still did not respond. She was busy making the potion in her hands. She thought that she could chase Endis away just like that. After all, she was making an intermediate potion at the moment.
If Endis saw it, she would understand her level and choose to leave.
However, Audrey had overestimated Endis. She acted as if she did not see it and only wanted to compete.
“I’m talking to you. Don’t fool me. Hurry up and compete with me.” Endis stepped forward and fiddled with the potion in front of Audrey.
She had wanted to stop Audrey from continuing, but she did not expect that the potion would collapse. When many potions were mixed together, they would have different reactions.
The alchemy room was instantly in a mess.
When two potions were mixed together, it would produce a knockout effect. Realizing this, Audrey immediately covered her mouth and nose. It took a long time before Endis reacted and did the same thing.
Seeing that her results had been destroyed, Audrey’s expression turned extremely ugly.
This was not just the result, it was also a task that Dempsey had given her. His temper was not easy to deal with.
“There’s a reason why teacher Dempsey didn’t take you as his disciple. You don’t even have this little bit of skill in alchemy. What’s the point of taking you in!” Audrey rebuked mercilessly.
“You… you might not be stronger than me.” Endis retorted stubbornly.
She felt a little guilty in her heart. After all, she was the one who had ruined everything. If teacher Dempsey found out, he would definitely be in big trouble. After all, he hated it the most when someone destroyed his alchemy room.
Just as she was thinking, the door was pushed open. Dempsey appeared at the door with a bottle of potion.
Audrey glanced over and saw that the potion was a top-tier upgrade potion. If she drank it, she should be able to upgrade it by two to three levels.
She did not expect Dempsey to have such a potion. It seemed like he was quite powerful.
“What’s going on?” Dempsey’s face darkened as if he was in danger.
“Teacher Dempsey, this… this is all her doing.” Endis bit back and pointed at Audrey.
Such a shameless reversal of black and white, Audrey had really learned a lot.
She sneered, and her blue eyes revealed a sharp aura. “If your ability to refine medicine is half the ability to frame people, then you’re also a mid-to-high-level alchemist.”
These sarcastic words instantly made Endis extremely embarra.s.sed.
Dempsey’s eyes looked at the two of them. With Audrey’s words, he had a general understanding of what had happened.
“Endis, why are you here? Didn’t I say that no one is allowed to come to my alchemy room?” Dempsey said, blaming Endis.
“I… I heard that teacher has accepted a new a.s.sistant. I want to spar with her,” Endis replied weakly.
Spar?
Audrey cursed in her heart. Sparring was about the same in terms of ability. If the two of them were to compare, it would be considered a thras.h.i.+ng.
“So? You’re the result of your sparring?”
Over the past few days, Dempsey had gained a better understanding of Audrey. He was very clear about her ability. It was impossible for her to make such a mistake unless someone was causing trouble.
This person was Endis.
“I’m sorry, teacher Dempsey. I didn’t do it on purpose.” Endis immediately could not take it anymore. “I can help you tidy up, and I can also help you make a potion.”
“There’s no need for that. Can you use the potion you’ve made?” Dempsey snorted coldly. “As long as you pay for the damaged herbs, you won’t have to step into this place again in the future.”
Audrey could not help but laugh. Dempsey was also a ruthless person. His rhetorical question was extremely humiliating.
“Master Dempsey, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I really want to be your disciple. I will definitely listen to you…” Endis said in a low voice with an embarra.s.sed expression.
However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Dempsey.
“There’s no need. I have enough disciples.”
With Henry and Audrey, it was enough. There was no need for anyone else.
An embarra.s.sed unwillingness flashed across Endis’ face once again. She glared at Audrey. “I will definitely prove that I’m stronger than you.”
Audrey looked indifferent as she shrugged.
The mess made Dempsey’s head hurt.
“Clean up this mess. We’ll continue the production after endis delivers the herbs,” Dempsey said. Despite his bad temper, he did not blame Audrey at all.
Over this period of time, Dempsey had realized how powerful Audrey was. To be able to do alchemy to such an extent was enough to prove that Audrey was very talented.
In Dempsey’s heart, he also thought of Audrey as his successor.
Because the medicine was destroyed, Audrey left the alchemy room early and went to find Kate.
