Chapter 407


    "I have important matters to deal with, and I''d like to meet Master Gordon now. Can you guys


    please step aside? Thank you in advance," Vania spoke politely.


    The head security let out a heartyugh upon hearing her words. "You just want to ask Master


    Gordon about The Great Chemist''s whereabouts, right? Is that the important matter you''re referring


    to?" The other three security guards began tough as well.


    Vania frowned as she didn''t understand why they showed such a huge reaction to her words.


    "There are tons of rich people like you whoe looking for our master with the same excuse," one


    of the security guards said. All the guards were sick for the same reason—they wanted to hear


    something new for once.


    "I—" Vania barely got anything out of her mouth before another one of the security guards


    interrupted her. "Leave. Hurry and leave now! Our master refuses to meet anyone," he said. Then,


    he waved his arms around to chase them out.


    There was a hint of annoyance and disdain in his tone—it was clear that the guards had


    encountered too many people who asked for the same thing. However, the more the guards tried to


    chase them out, the more Vania was certain of her suspicions. Master Gordon must have some


    insider news. The lyrics talking about the separation of close friends might even be from Master''s


    personal experience, she thought.


    Vania used a cating tone when she next spoke. "Can you guys please help me to pass the


    message? My son was poisoned, and I''m afraid The Great Chemist is the only one who can help


    him," she said. The rest of the security guards cackled among themselves—it was clear that they


    didn''t trust a word she said.


    "I genuinely want to meet Master Gordon to ask him for advice on saving my son''s life. I don''t have


    other intentions," she rified again. She didn''t know what the other people must''ve been seeking


    the master for in the past, and she didn''t understand why the master was so against meeting them.


    However, when the security guards heard her exnation, they onlyughed louder than before.


    The head security seemed to be deep in thought for a moment. "Let me think about it… I''m not sure


    how many people before you have used the same excuse." Saving one''s son''s life, having a


    poisoned lover, having parents who were critically ill… All of these were excuses that the guards


    were sick of hearing. These people can reallye up with the most absurd reasons just to meet


    The Great Chemist!


    One of the guards made a sarcasticment concerning Vania''s words. "If we had recorded all the


    illnesses we''ve heard of, we could probably write a medical dictionary."

    All the guards agreed that Vania''s excuse was terrible—it was almost as if she uttered the first thing


    she could think of.


    "Perhaps we''d spend more time chatting with you if you coulde up with an excuse that we


    haven''t heard in the past," another guardmented. He was tired of hearing the same excuses


    over and over again. Why can’t people have a little more creativity? Why can''t there be people who


    tell us something we don''t already know?


    Right then, a few staff members passed by with equipment in their arms. "Move along, move


    along…" another one of the guards said while waving his arms. He had used the same sentence


    countless times that year—he felt like a broken record.


    The head security guard didn''t feel a hint of empathy as he stared into the pitiful look in Vania''s


    eyes. Instead, the only thing he felt was annoyance toward her. "Stop wasting your time here. It''s


    impossible for you guys to meet Master Gordon. If you can afford to waste your time here, you


    might as well go somewhere else to seek help."


    Even though the Legend of the Great Chemist came from Gordon himself, other troupes started to


    master it after it became famous. Those troupes were performing the same track as well. So, the


    guards didn''t understand why so many people would approach them when there were so many


    other troupes within the city.


    "Move aside… Move aside…" The staff members passed by their walkway with more equipment in


    their hands.


    "The people who are using this walkway are mostly our staff members. You guys are being a


    nuisance by standing around here. You should stop getting in the way of them," one of the guards


    said.
