Early the next morning, as the first ray of sunlight seeped through the cracks of the curtains on the third floor of the inn and spilled into the room, Leo Ray sat up from his straw mat.
Looking at the delicate golden light spots around him, Leo Ray shook his spirit as he sat cross-legged on the mat, swallowed a Qi Condensing Pill with his head raised, and then closed his eyes to focus on refining.
After a while, when he opened his eyes again, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Now, he had successfully reached the Tier 2 Seven-Star level.
“It seems that it won’t be long before I break through to Tier 3.”
Excitedly rubbing his hands, Leo Ray stood up to stretch his limbs and then walked out of the room.
This time, Serena Clark, his twin younger sister, was waiting at the door.
“Good morning, Lord.”
Seeing the spirited Leo Ray walk out of the room, Serena, dressed in a blue attire, quickly bowed and said.
On the other side, after stretching lazily and checking the other party’s attributes, Leo Ray casually asked, “Serena, has your strength improved?”
“Thanks to Lord.’
Blinking her spirited eyes, Serena subconsciously touched the blue crescent-shaped hairpin on her short hair near her ear and said excitedly, “I have reached the Tier 3 Six-Star level.”
“Very good.” With a faint smile, Leo Ray closed the door and gently patted her head, “Alright, let’s go downstairs together.”
In this way, following the wooden staircase, the two of them went downstairs to the first floor of the inn.
At this time, Stella Clark and Scarlett were helping Olivia prepare breakfast in the kitchen, while Taylor and Gideon Black were patrolling the environment on the inn’s roof.
As for the innkeeper, Matthew, just like yesterday, he had already gone to the morning market to purchase supplies.
“Lord, breakfast is ready!”
Just after Leo Ray had sat down at the table with Serena, Scarlett and the other two came out one after another, holding trays.
Seeing that there were no longer any black, unidentified objects on the plate, Leo Ray couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he noticed that Stella and Scarlett’s strengths had also risen to Tier 3 Seven-Star and Tier 3 Two-Star, respectively.
Next, after everyone had filled their bellies, Leo Ray first nodded at Olivia, who was cleaning up the table, to express his gratitude.
Then he said to his five subordinates, “Alright, now it’s time for our main event today.”
Inside a deluxe princess suite in a high-end hotel in Golin City.
“Dear Miss Orion Wolfe, don’t you think lying down like this so early in the morning is a bit too slack?”
Next to a soft sofa in the living room, a young and pretty maid holding a teapot frowned at the young noblewoman on the sofa, completely embedded in the soft cushions.
“Amelia, be quiet…”
On the other side, the languid Orion Wolfe in the soft sofa, her hair messy, and her face looked listless, in stark contrast to her spirited appearance in front of outsiders.
She yawned impolitely, then lazily turned over and said, “Let me take a little more sleep.”
“Miss Orion Wolfe, if you keep lazying like this, I won’t make your favorite crepes for lunch!”
Gently placing the teapot on a delicate tea table, the young maidservant named Amelia furrowed her slender eyebrows and placed her hands on her waist.
“No, no…Amelia, don’t be so heartless…”
Reluctantly sitting up from the couch, Orion Wolfe rubbed his sleepy eyes and pouted, “I’ve finally come out of the family, can’t I relax a little?”
“My dear miss, in order to cultivate you, the master and the lady have almost emptied the Frost Family’s fortune over these years,”
On the other side, Amelia’s pretty face was filled with worry. She shook her head and said, “If this continues, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we have difficulty distributing wages to the soldiers,
Once it causes a mutiny, the familys Elders Council will apply pressure, and
I’m afraid the master’s position as head of the household will be in jeopardy.”
You know, the Grand Elder has been coveting the position of the family head for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity.”
Given his ruthless nature, once he takes the position of family head, it’s likely the master and the lady will be in trouble!”
“He wouldn’t dare! If it really comes to that, I will fight him!”
Hearing this, Orion Wolfe’s delicate and fair face suddenly became fierce. But then, his expression switched to deep helplessness.
Although he has outstanding talent, at present, he can only refine Tier 2 Magic Medicine at most.
To further advance, he must spend even more money to purchase the formula and precious materials required for Tier 3 Magic Medicine.
Only through continuous practice could one possibly reach the level of a Tier 3 Alchemist.
However, given the family’s current situation, it’s obviously impossible to continue supporting his expensive pursuits.
But with the income from a Tier 2 Alchemist…
It seems unrealistic to cover the money he’s spent on his training before the Grand Elder takes action.
Thinking of this, Orion Wolfe sighed lightly, already thoroughly sobered.
He blinked his starry eyes helplessly, humming, “If it weren’t for saving face, we wouldn’t stay in such a luxurious suite, and we could save quite a bit of money.”
Regaining his spirits, Orion Wolfe asked the young maidservant beside him,
“Amelia, how much money have we spent altogether these years? Remind me.”
On the other side, Amelia pulled out a dense notebook from her black-and-white maid outfit and replied, “Including the travel expenses for this trip, it’s a total of 1,503,905 Gold Dragons,
Ever since you started learning alchemy…
Not only did the family’s domain lose 1,000 elite soldiers compared to before, but the number of servants also decreased.”
“Ah, Amelia, don’t say anymore.”
Hearing this, Orion Wolfe quickly covered his ears and burrowed back into the couch, murmuring, “Is there really someone who can both help me continue learning advanced alchemy and help me pay off my debts?
Preferably someone with great power who can suppress the Grand Elder’s faction.”
“Miss, you must be dreaming.”
Amelia helplessly shook her head and spread her hands, saying, “Who in the entire Coldflame Kingdom’s upper circles doesn’t know your name, Orion Wolfe of the Frost Family…”
“Amelia, you can’t even say a few nice words to comfort me.”
Pouting, Orion Wolfe sat up again and a touch of hope appeared on his pretty face, “If there really is such a person, I’d be willing to serve them for my entire life!”
Just as the two were talking, a polite knock on the door suddenly sounded..
